Nice to see three teams on it, I just wish it was like this at the beginning of the season.

Ferrari are 0.5 sec behind the pole time that's not a turnaround or is it?

If that's true then I'm not sure it's such a good idea. They still have to run those tyres and they now have 6 laps of wear on them. So Lewis's tyres have 3, 3 and 0 laps on them, Vettel has 3, 6, and 0 laps. So Lewis is going to have a much better set of tyres for one of the stints.

so Lewis has 1 better set of tyres as per your analysis and not 2 sets right!!

Don't think so. Webber admitted straight after there was no way he would be close to Sub 1.20.

Maybe not but JB really dawdled on the last half of the out lap compromising his last sector time before the hot lap quite a bit, we all know that the pirellis really need quite to be warmed pnin a very specific way. Both Mark and Seb tend to do a very very fast last sector of their out lap to start their hot lap.

It is if they can extend their stint's. I think the top six all have a chance to win thisw race. If you told me a month ago that RB would be in mortal combat in Hungary than yes Ferrari as wel as McLaren have closed the gap. They also are very different cars, with their own strenths, RB as well. The points are awarded on Sunday

But that's the way it goes. Everyone gets compromised in qualifying now and then. Webber wasn't hammering JB in the interview, in fact didn't mention him so couldn't have really bothered him. If an F1 driver feels hard done by he names and shames.

Anyway, back on topic. I think once again RB have Q3 pace but I'm sure they don't have race pace of McLaren/Ferrari.

I think Alonso and Lewis had a real chance for pole but didn't quite nail their last timed laps like Vettel did.

Agree. Hamilton was faster in both first sectors, lost it in the last. It was exactly opposite in his first Q3 run.
