MCLAREN DRIVER LEWIS Hamilton took pole position at the Hungarian Grand Prix while championship leader Fernando Alonso was sixth fastest.
Having notched the fastest times in the first and second practice sessions a day earlier, Hamilton zipped around the Hungaroring circuit in a best time of 1 minute, 20.953 seconds on Saturday.
It was Hamilton’s third pole of the season and McLaren’s 150th as a manufacturer since being founded in 1963.
Lotus driver Romain Grosjean (+0.413s) will join the Brit on the front row while Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel (+0.463s) and Hamilton’s team-mate Jenson Button (+0.630s) next best.
Kimi Raikkonen (+0.777s) of Lotus was fifth and will start alongside Alonso (+0.891s).
Alonso’s Ferrari teammate Felipe Massa (+0.947s) was seventh fastest, followed by Williams pair Pastor Maldonado (+0.986s) and Bruno Senna (+1.390s).
Force India’s Nico Hulkenberg (+1.894s) rounded out the top 10.
Championship contender Mark Webber (+0.655s) of Red Bull finished a disappointing 11th, just hours after posting the fastest time in third and final practice.
He’s a machine. Barely any mistakes
Even his mistakes are not bad. This looks like its over before the back 9.
After 10, Its all over now.
Back to 3 shots the gap now, should still be enough. I expect him to burn up the back 9
Ya would not want to talk too soon
Poll on sky sports over 40% thought rose would win .
Dreamers, although I wouldn’t begrudge another South African winner.
Most overrated game on the planet
Has shown great composure for a 21year old,deserves to win.
Made for life now I would imagine with all that money in top golf
tournaments,the 2nd gets over a million dollars.
Congratulations to Justin as well for been 2nd.
Spieth was simply brilliant for 72 holes, thoroughly deserved and I can see that being the first of many green jackets he dons. If he carries on playing like that we should get some brilliant battles between himself and Rory over the next 10 years.
