Formula One Race Hungarian Grand Prix

Formula One race Hungarian Grand Prix today

BUDAPEST: The race of Formula One season Hungarian Grand Prix is being held today. Fernando Alonso, the double world champion, succeeded in snatching the pole position for the event.

Lewis Hamilton dominated Fernando Alonso in the race by the final stage of the qualifying session of the Hungarian grand prix but then a strange situation was seen when Alonso delayed in returning at pit stop.

Alonso's tyres were changed and his car seemed ready to go but the team held him in the pits for over thirty seconds.

While this was going on Hamilton was waiting behind and the delay meant that when the British rookie eventually returned to the track there was insufficient time for him to record a final flying lap.

Alonso, on the other hand, did manage to set a final quick lap, snatching pole position from the British driver whose earlier efforts had put him on provisional pole.

Behind Alonso and Hamilton will be BMW Sauber's German Nick Heidfeld who was third in front of Finland's Kimi Raikkonen who qualified fourth for Ferrari.
