Lewis Hamilton Starts 2nd In Valencia
August 23rd, 2008
The first Formula 1 qualifying in Valencia mixed up the field a bit with a brand new track which has little traction. The teams were struggling for grip in the first session but at the end of the second session there was noticeable more traction even though it started to drizzle a little bit.
The surprise of the second session was Sebastian Vettel who was first at the end of qualifying session 2. Renault’s Fernando Alonso didn’t make it into Q3.
Lewis Hamilton was finally flying in the final qualifying session and got up to 2nd position on the starting grid. Felipe Massa is on pole position and Robert Kubica is starting in third position.
Some TV commentators say that there’s a high possibility that there will be a safety car in tomorrow’s race and that McLaren are playing it safe by putting in extra fuel. We’ll have to see how the race unfolds.
