Red Bull extend Hungaroring domination

There was no comfort for Red Bull’s rivals at the Hungaroring this morning as the RB6s lapped the track over a second faster than anyone else.

Mark Webber set the quickest time of the weekend so far ahead of qualifying with a 1′19.574.

Team mate Sebastian Vettel’s attempt to beat it were thwarted by traffic. id="more-35800">

The fastest driver not equipped with a Red Bull was Fernando Alonso, who was 1.15 seconds slower than Webber when the cars ran on the super-soft tyres at the end of the session.

McLaren’s fears were confirmed when Robert Kubica lapped quicker than either of their drivers in the Renault, and Vitaly Petrov was able to split Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button, as was Nico Rosberg.

But Mercedes continue to struggle with their recent upgrades. Michael Schumacher was told on the radio during the session that his rear wing was not working properly.

      I wonder wich wing ferrari will use. They were doubting their latest ‘flexi’ wing… looks like a vettel/webber battle

    2. Nixon Says:

      The only reason why Yamamoto is racing is because he is super rich.

    3. cheers Says:

      Webber looked to have .1 on Vettel before he hit traffic and he just didn’t compete yesterday. I don’t think they turn the wick up on the blown diffuser usually Fridays but Vettel did because Webber was pressuring him. Webber was o him and he just came out and knocked it down 0.8 and that might be what the blown diffuser is really worth to the RB6. No bigger gap than 0.15 between them though.

      Vettel was hard eyed on his screen after P3, expect Webber’s settings to migrate again. Let’s see what the relative car speed vs the shape of the Q3 lap looks like between them. Magyar is the one the Austrians will want Vettel on pole for more than 1 reason. De facto home race and track position and getting up on Webber to make the favouritism automatic again. Nobody wants to be in dirty P2 either.

      I like Petrov too and think he might have it but they would be better off with a PDLR or Rubens and that is what McLaren is missing too.

      I’m expecting Rubens to surprise. He always turns up the gap another 0.3-0.5 or so over Hulkenberg from FP3 to qualy.

    4. Christian Says:

      Chandhok isn’t racing. Yamamoto has taken his place…

    5. Leftie Says:

      Kolles does not care about the speed, it is pretty much obvious, innit?

    6. Staffan Says:

      Just wait until the Qualify is over, he might be P12 after that..
      I hope that Massa can get a bit more speed and get ahead of Alonso in Qualify.

    7. F1iLike Says:

      Look at the speed trap. Webber is last in FP3 and Vettel 3rd slowest. Lots of downforce

    8. glue Says:

      I think in time he has learned to turn his speed limiter off

    9. Rahim RG Says:

      Chandhok was faster than Senna

      Thnaks alot i will try it now. :)
