2005 Hungarian Grand Prix Qualifying session

Massa on pole at the Hungaroring

Felipe Massa took pole position for the hungarian grand prix in an epic battle with his teammate Fernando Alonso to head a Ferrari 1-2.Mark Webber was an excellent 3rd in the Redbull,just ahead of Villeneuve's Williams with Nico Rosberg rounding out the top 5..Jenson button did a super job to haul his Sauber into 6th.Although it was a disaster for 2nd in the championship Sebastian Vettel,who could only manage 13th in the Mclaren...Another dismal day for Ralf Schumacher see's him bring up the rear,with the Toyota team surely losing patience in the lacklustre German....

Qualifying Standings

Sauber Statement

A great job by jenson, nick practice speed is gone. Theyll find a way to dissapoint me again.

Arrows Statement

Good qualy for us. Glock beating Zonta for once which is nice for him. Hopefully we can get both cars home in the points

McLaren Mercedes

Good job done by Nico, he should be able to get some points in race. However a bad session for Seb, hopefully he can gain some places, otherwise the gap to Massa in the WDC could get pretty big.

Below average

Kimi did good, but Lotterer is way down the field. Tomorrow needs to be an improvement.

Klien's been off the boil for a bit. Davo's not done a bad job, though.

2005 Race classification



DOTD - Michael Schumacher is the driver of the day with a great drive from 7th on the grid to take his second win of the season..


@Twigster..i will let u update the drivers and constructors tables m8

Minardi News

After an average season which has seen him pick up 1 points finish, Christian Klien is to drop down to be Minardi's test and reserve driver. Franck Montagny will replace him as Anthony Davidson's teammate.

A spokesman for the team said: 'We would like to thank Christian for his efforts this season. However, we feel we wish to evaluate Montagny for a future drive, and feel he's got a lot to give.'

McLaren Mercedes

Very bad weeken for us, Seb showed a good race until he was forced to retire, and Nico lost many time due to the electrical problems.


Seems that I've taken the reliability problems from Jordan along to McLaren, lol.

Toyota

Another solid drive from cristiano to 6th place,we at toyota are very happy with the job he is doing this year in a not so good car..As for Ralf not much to say really,Needs a major improvement in turkey or Allan Mcnish our test driver will be in for the remaining races of the season...

Thanks once again Alesi, and I must say your graphics are just incredible!

Also just so you're all aware the driver signings won't be going up just yet as I am waiting to hear from new managers if they want to make any last minute bids; considering they've only just been appointed to their new roles. So they will be going up when the test results go up, probably sometime tomorrow

Also prepare for the inevitable mistake in the tables, I forgot to update my version after the German GP meaning I've had to add in two sets of results instead of one so I'll be amazed if there isn't a mistake in there





EDIT: Also forgot to mention, after looking at the large number of mechanical issues in that race I'm going to drop the reliability values slightly further.

BAR
Our reliability has dropped sharply. Both cars had electrical problems and our pace is still average.

Absolutely stunning stuff from Lotterer, from 20th to 7th in the race. Made Kimi look rather ordinary if I'm honest.

Williams F1

"Awesome race for us."

Arrows Statement

Come on. For the last two tests we have worked on reliability yet both cars are still retiring. Becoming a joke now. Whats the points playing if your cars retire race after race. No doubt Super Aguri will be the same next season.
