Kingsley: That was a marker! If only #LH44 had converted his poles to victories, he would have been out of sight in WDC standings.
Jeremiah Kariuki: With Ricciardo and Vettel starting on the 2nd row, there is a high chance Redbull may finish on the podium tomorrow!
Chris Knapp: Dominant performance from Lewis. Not sure how McLaren continue to be so bad. My Fiesta Pop+ was more reliable.

Lewis Hamilton's pole position means he moves ahead of Damon Hill and into second in the list of consecutive front row starts. He is now on to 18, but still has a bit to go to catch Ayrton Senna, who boasts 24 front row starts.

"Red Bull were a surprise this weekend, so it shows the upgrades have worked. Ferrari are just not good enough to take the battle to the Mercedes team."

Lewis Hamilton is in prime position to extend his 17-point lead over Nico Rosberg tomorrow.
He has won the Hungarian GP on four occasions, the same amount as Michael Schumacher, and is also the only driver in the last decade to win from pole at Hungaroring.

Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff: "It was a very good lap indeed from Lewis Hamilton. Nico Rosberg wasn't really happy. The car felt terribly wrong the the beginning. The understeer was coming back and going. The cooler conditions on Sunday will be good for us - Ferrari looked better in the hotter races."

Red Bull team boss Christian Horner: "It was massively close. Three or four hundredths between Daniel Ricciardo and Sebastian Vettel. Ricciardo especially looked encouraging. Hopefully, we can take the fight to Ferrari. Lewis Hamilton is high on confidence at the moment. He wants to be the quickest in every session."
