Track Talk:


It was a hot and humid day at Budapest with Track Temperature soaring upto 35deg Cel.

So, it is like Red Bull was hiding their pace as they hit back hard on Ferrari and Mclaren. Vettel enjoy a comfortable 0.3sec gap to Alonso behind him and set 1min 21:168sec for being fastest on super softs.

Massa went onto the grass as he tries hard to break into the 1min 21's. Nico was the leading Mercedes in 6th. Michael was 8th overall followed by the Renault of Vitaly Petrov.

Paul Di Resta bettered his teammate this time with 10th fastest time while Sutil was only 16th.

Nick Heidfeld clocked 11th fastest that provided Renault a breather for the moment. The two Saubers followed the Renault car. Saubers were followed by the upgraded Williams.

The Toro Rosso were last among the midfielders at 17th and 18th.

At the back, usually Lotus lead from HRT and Virgin. But this time around HRT provided competition to Virgin with Daniel Ricciardo finishing ahead of Jerome D'Ambrosio for 22nd.

Liuzzi had troubled time at the back with some of the debries from his front wing flies off.


Lets wait for Qualifying drama, as Super Softs only last for 1 lap at their best.
