Ferrari unhappy with qualifying result

Ferrari unhappy with qualifying result

Both Ferrari drivers felt they didn't get the most out of Saturday's qualifying session at the Hungaroring. Felipe Massa will have to start Sunday's Grand Prix from third while his team mate Kimi Raikkonen will start from sixth.

Felipe Massa said: "It's a shame I didn't manage to get the best out of the car in Q3, mainly because of traffic, especially on my second run. In the first two parts of qualifying the car felt good, as can be seen from my times, but then I never managed to prepare the tyres in the best way. Clearly, overtaking isn't easy but we have a good pace and I will try and exploit that in fighting with the two drivers ahead of me on the grid."

A mistake at Turn 4 cost Kimi precious time on his final quick lap, dropping him to sixth. The Finn explained: "I made a mistake on my final flying lap which cost me precious time, and that followed on from not having got a great lap on my previous attempt, which explains why I'm sixth. Of course I am not happy and, starting from the third row, my race will be an uphill struggle. I will try and make the most of this situation, given that the car today was not that bad. We are going through a bit of a difficult time but we mustn't give up: all we need to do is put together all the pieces of the jigsaw and then the results will come to us again."
