Hamilton On Pole In Hungary
August 2nd, 2008Lewis Hamilton delivered another fantastic qualifying performance with his 10th career pole position in Hungary. This makes his 3rd win in a row very possible.
Lewis has been looking superb all weekend leading most of the practice sessions and he was dominating qualifying Q1 and Q2.
Heikki Kovalainen in the sister Vodafone McLaren-Mercedes managed to get into the 2nd place making it difficult for the Ferrari’s at this Hungarian Grand Prix where overtaking is very difficult.
The field is quite close together and a few hundreds of a second can mean the difference of a position at the Hungaroring. Timo Glock managed to get into 5th position in his Toyota which was a refreshing surprise.
McLaren’s Woking squad have been enjoying a few recent wins over Ferrari in the last few races. However, the intense competition between the two teams will surely keep it interesting to the end of the season.
Can Lewis make it 3-in-a-row tomorrow? We’ll have to tune in tomorrow and keep our fingers crossed.
