Live Commenting: Hungary - Qualifying
The man is making some tweaks to the new Live Commenting beta page, so I have been entrusted to write my very first Live Commenting opening thread.
What did we learn from Free Practice 3? On the face of it, very little. It was a slow start to the day, and even when cars were out on track, we were getting some very mixed results. Hamilton continued to dominate, and as it’s looking very much like a McLaren weekend, we have to look further down the field for any notable scraps.
Raikkonen appeared to be struggling for pace in FP3, although he looks to have chosen the shark fin as a viable aerodynamic option, and may have been fiddling with the setup to accomodate that. Massa continues to be right on Hamilton’s tail, so he may opt for a super-competitive qualifying lap to outpace the McLaren in qualfiying.
Renault look to be playing the long game, apparently choosing tyre optimisation over any flat-out lap times, but even so, by the end of the session Piquet still jumped into 5th. Compared to Alonso’s 11th, the Spaniard may have something to prove in the qualifying sessions.
At the back of the grid, this may be a perfect opportunity for Force India to finally get into their desired second qualifying session, after both Hondas, Nakajima, and even Webber wound up FP3 towards the lower end of the timesheets. With little overtaking to be had on the Hungaroring, qualifying is going to be super-important for those wishing to fight for points.
Let us know if you are tuning in to watch / listen / read about qualifying, and how you are consuming it. We’ll be ogling the Live Timings and watching on ITV. Hopefully 5live will deign to give us some coverage as well, although with Anthony on the box, it’s not a difficult choice between the two.
Remember to test out the new Live Commenting for us, it seems to be holding up, and if you spot any problems, I’ll get the man straight on it. Enjoy.

Davidson on ITV? I thought Damon Hill was standing in for Brundle who is on his holibobs at the moment?
August 2nd, 2008 at 12:03 pmChristine said:
I thought someone said earlier that Ant was doing quali, and Hill for the race. I could be very wrong though.
August 2nd, 2008 at 12:04 pmDank said:
Ah, well I don’t know then. TV Guide UK says it’s Hill and Allen this afternoon?

twas me. sorry I am most likely wrong.
i’m sure i read that somewhere though.
August 2nd, 2008 at 12:05 pmChristine said:
That would make more sense because Ant seems to be a friend of the BBC these days. Maybe it’s just wishful thinking on my part.

August 2nd, 2008 at 12:16 pmSteven Roy said:
There seem to be a few utterly pointless tyre stories recently which amount to Bridgestone wanting some publicity. A few days ago they wanted to call the primes Bridgestone and the options Firestones.
We didn’t have this kind of garbage when Goodyear was the sole supplier.

I’m OK with Damon commentating - he’s still quite a lot better at it than James Allen (even if Anthony Davidson is considerably better and could make a career from it if he felt so inclined).

hey ya jordan.
August 2nd, 2008 at 12:35 pmChristine said:
I prefer James Allen to Hill any day. At least Allen keeps on talking, even if he says the most inane things sometimes. With Damon, it’s like: “Um, yes, I don’t really know much about that.”

“Honda chief executive Nick Fry said: “Hopefully Fernando decides to come to us. We have developed a very advanced KERS system and we are working very hard on the car for next year. We have four wind tunnels, one of them in Japan, working on the project, which is well under way.”

I’d have to agree, SB looks like he’s in the clear

Button was saying he is pleased to get into 14th these days, which he can’t believe he would ever say. So, 12th is a bonus

So the poor Bourdais, Vettel and Button have to start the race with DC right next to/behind them. I wonder how many of them will last the first couple of laps?

Can’t they get someone to teach Blundell to speak English? You change the tyre and it throws out the balance between the back and the rear???

August 2nd, 2008 at 1:49 pmDan Brunell said:
1 - Lewis
2 - Massa
3- Trulli
4 - Kovi
5 - Kimi
August 2nd, 2008 at 1:49 pmRich said:
I think Lewis will be pole sitter with Massa following them Kovi, Trulli and Kimi in that order!
August 2nd, 2008 at 1:49 pmSteveintheUK said:
My top 5
1 - Glock
2 - Hamilton
3 - Trulli
4 - Massa
5 - Kovi
but if Webber or Kubica want to knock Massa and Kovi out of the top 5 then that’s fine with me.

Lol Mark Blundell, I wonder what him and James Allen are going to do next year, it won’t be F1 anyway!

I have Trulli for 3rd in Quail so he’ll probably crash out early, or blow up.

Would i be right in saying that’s quite a handy time Timo?

all drivers on track. pole last year was 1:19.6
August 2nd, 2008 at 1:54 pmAlex Andronov said:
Now that would be a boring race. How many times would Lewis lap everyone if that happened?

He’ll need it to pay for that Carrera GT !

Yeah James, this is why you’re disliked so much. Get some basic facts on your fellow ex racing driver turned commentator.
