Considering where your chap qualified, you should be glad that Hamilton's pole has taken the heat off him!
Sorry Fernando but it looks like Seb is gunning for you now with the mental games, just like Webber and Jenson.
Sebastian Vettel insists Ferrari has the best car on the 2012 grid.
In an interview with journalists from O Estado de S.Paulo (Brazil), Corriere della Sera (Italy) and Auto Hebdo (France), the reigning world champion reportedly laughed at Alonso and Ferrari’s constant claims that the Spaniard is leading the world championship despite not having the best car.
Referring to last weekend’s German grand prix, Vettel said in Hungary on Thursday: “Fernando was the fastest because he had the best equipment.
“At the moment, Ferrari is the best. So what I need to do is to be the most consistent.
“They (Ferrari) had a difficult start to the year, but we can see now where they are. They are the most consistent in all conditions: rain, dry, change of grip from the circuit, cold, hot …
“Ferrari has the best package at the moment; they’re fast and reliable. At Hockenheim they kept us and McLaren behind. This is a fact, not my interpretation,” the German insisted.
Vettel denied that part of Alonso’s advantage is that his teammate, Felipe Massa, is entirely subservient, rather than taking points from one another as do the teammates at Red Bull and McLaren.
“It’s not good for a racing team to have one driver fighting for wins and the other with significantly lower results,” he insisted.
“From the outside we cannot understand the reasons that Felipe is not able to show his natural speed, because he is very fast."
“People forget that if his (Massa’s) engine had not broken here (in Hungary) in 2008, he would have won the title. Now he’s miles away from the top of championship, even though the car is working well."
“I don’t understand that,” added Vettel.
It is on that final point – the driver equality question at Ferrari – that Vettel has some doubt about whether he wants to be with the famous Italian team.
Asked if he would accept being Alonso’s teammate at Ferrari, he answered: “I don’t know.
“I hear so much about his contract with Ferrari that it makes me think about it. It depends on the situation.
“I am not afraid of fighting with Fernando at the same team, because that’s good for the team, good for you. It’s much better than having a teammate who is slower.”
The gloves are truly off now!

Ahhhhh but it's the seed that is the important part, the media does the rest!
Monaco 2012 mate, Monaco 2012. Where were you then?
"Typical Schumacher hater there. He puts it on pole, and apparently always should have done, would have been a twat if he didn't etc etc."
Mercedes are crap, seen as though the Qualifying draw is only 6-5 you should zip it.
It won;t make the Spanish media so he won;t read it
Damn! That's a good point ASC...
I think this is irrelevant in a season like this. If Vettel had Massa for a teammate at Silverstone he'd now be further behind Alonso. Because it's so close if you don't perform you get punished by several drivers rather than just your teammate; Massa's not taking points off Alonso but he's not taking any off his rivals either.
I'm not sure what you mean. Unless i've badly worded my statement (as usual), what i mean is that Hamilton has won tomorrows race before the lights even go out
I accidentally picked Hamilton but asked for Alonso said which El Bando kindly allowed me to pick as it was before Friday 
But now I realise my mistake may have been something trying to tell me to stick with him. There was this episode of Deal or No Deal where an old lady accidentally says 'No Deal' instead of Deal, gets offered the question again, and then says 'No Deal' because she believes in fate. She goes on to win £75,000 instead of the £12,000 or something she was supposed to deal.
But I still think Alonso will do it. Showers tomorrow, I believe. Should make things interesting!

[22/06/2012 16:08:00] Me: I hads a dream the other night. I was watching a race, (which looked like Hungary) and i heard "Di Resta becomes the 8th winner of the season" which confuses me.
That's my prediction. I hope it doesnt happen but then again, the main contenders wouldnt have won.
