Yep, the MacMercs sure were good in Quali trim. Heikki did rather well as well.. Less than a tenth per lap heavier than Hamilton behind.joostlamers wrote:So well done Hamilton in Qualifying, for setting the fastest lap with more fuel then Massa
Ya But in qualifying press conference massa said he was stuck in traffic in his outlap;. Remember that ted said massa left the pit last but while setting the laptime hamilton was the last. So he had to overtake hamilton in his outlap. Thats why i wanted to see his outlap.joostlamers wrote:So well done Hamilton in Qualifying, for setting the fastest lap with more fuel then Massa
didn't they say this after Trulli finished on the podium in Malaysia 2005?! what do you guys think? can they win? and if so, when?Toyota now eyes first win in Formula One
After scoring its second podium finish of the season the Toyota Formula 1 team now eyes its first victory in Formula One since it entered the sport in 2002. Timo Glock scored the team's second podium place in Hungary but it was also the German's first podium finish in F1.
The Toyota F1 team was obviously extremely pleased with Glock's performance in Hungary. The German started the race from fifth and finished the race in second position. Toyota F1's team principal Tadashi Yamashina said: "I really can't find the words to celebrate this result, the best of our season. We had a few difficulties in practice but during qualifying the drivers pushed themselves to the limit and things got better and better. Today Timo did a fantastic race. We saw immediately that his car was quick and his third stint was almost perfect. He was under threat from Kimi but he was quick in the third sector and he was able to fend him off.
"My thanks go out to the whole team and everyone working in the factory. I'm very appreciative of all their hard work and next we will aim for the centre of the podium."
Timo Glock scored Toyota's eighth finish on the podium. His team mate Jarno Trulli was the first Toyota driver to finish on the podium when the Italian finished second in the 2005 Malaysian Grand Prix.

They wanted it all time. Toyota's position in F1 was clear. they said, they wanted podiums and wins and some day the constructeur championship. it always seemed that they wanted to do big things, but they never had done so (except 2005, maybe). For this season it has to be a very chaotic race, if Toyota wants to win a race.phil1993 wrote:didn't they say this after Trulli finished on the podium in Malaysia 2005?! what do you guys think? can they win? and if so, when?Toyota now eyes first win in Formula One

Indeed. I've also been looking for them trying to find out how he could have passed, but F1.com and FIA is completely ignoring the World Champion. Maybe his pit timing didn't work?dacer wrote:yes but we don't have pit stop sumary for kimi, it's a pity
I believe Kimi's transponder was broken.Suntrek wrote:Indeed.

You can look here though.

click on "Hungary" and "head to head" and compare Kimi to Alonso. Kimi's pit stop lap was almost 1 sec faster than Alonso's. And Alonso's outlap was a tiny wee bit too slow. Unfortunately. I think he hit a bit of traffic, though (Webber?) And maybe he also didn't want to push too much on cold supersoft tyres, Renault is NOT an especially tyre-friendly car. :sad:
