FERNANDO ALONSO
"Pole position is a great result today. We have been
competitive all weekend and the car has been performing very
well. It should be a good race tomorrow where I believe we
have the strategy for another strong result."
LEWIS HAMILTON
"I am happy with today’s qualifying and I am fairly
confident because our pace is very good. To start from second
position is a good basis for tomorrow’s race. With the
long drive down to the first corner and a good start everything
should be possible."
RON DENNIS
"Starting the Hungarian Grand Prix with both cars on
the front row of the grid is most definitely the best thing
for the race tomorrow, as on this circuit it is extremely
difficult to overtake."
NORBERT HAUG
"Fernando and Lewis performed excellently qualifying
both cars in positions one and two. The entire team did a
great job to make this happen - thank you to everyone. To
start from an all Vodafone McLaren Mercedes front row for
the fourth time in the last seven races is the best possible
basis for Sunday’s race particularly on this circuit.
We will try to repeat this result tomorrow."
