Don't see Raikkonen staying at Ferrari much longer, this is worse than even Massa was.

 

Shows how good ALonso still is.

Me neither.

 

Something about that Ferrari that really doesn't suit Kimi's style, he's not forgotten how to drive overnight.

 

Still, with Massa and Kimi both struggling, who are clearly not poor drivers, it shows what an absolute dog the Ferrari has been these past couple of seasons. It takes a genius like Alonso to wring its neck to get it into the top 5.

Rosberg on pole, Vettel 2nd, Bottas 3rd, Ricciardo 4th, Alonso 5th, Massa 6th, Button 7th.

 

Hamilton 21st but will probably start in pit lane.

 

An easy win for Rosberg tommorrow, Hamilton will struggle to get top 5 as it is very hard to pass in Hungary.

Andre Lotterer looks like he might come in at Caterham for this weekend.

 

For those of you oblivious to the existence of the rest of motorsport, he's a three-time and a reigning Le Mans winner, and he's won the World Endurance Champipnship.

 

Looks like he's replacing Kobayashi, which is a shame. He's much better than Ericsson. But in all honesty, Lotterer is a better driver than Kobayashi and probably better than half the rest of them if he's given time to settle in.

Be interesting to see how he goes, quite a few F1 drivers have tried LMP1 and haven't exactly shined, Jacques Villeneuve cost Peugeot a win because he was slow in the dark.

 

Shame he is driving the worst car on the grid, probably take him a weekend to get used to things, doubt Caterham can afford a simulator.

I think it will be difficult for him with no testing, although modern LMP1 cars are pretty close to F1 in terms of pace and some of the technology is more advanced, so it's not like he's coming in from GP2.

 

Rumours are that he's not paying for this seat, which makes it seem even more of a left-field decision. Apparently it's to boost the team and get feedback on new updates?

 

More likely case for me is that Audi are paying for it to give him something to do before the next WEC race, it's three months between Le Mans and the next race.

Andre Lotterer surprised LMP1 Audi can corner quicker than Caterham F1 car

 

Andre Lotterer says he was surprised he can push his Audi LMP1 car harder through a corner than the Caterham CT-05.

The 32-year-old is a triple-Le Mans winner with the German marque and a former World Endurance Champion, but this weekend
