Never mind King Kimi. There's plenty of fans of the Finn in Hungary and they want him for president.

Kimi Raikkonen has a great record here, having been on the podium more times than other current driver, and he is optimistic despite starting down in 14th.

"Here you can overtake, not so easy as some other circuits, but you can. And that is what we will do," he said.

"I think we do have the chance to have a good race. I am sure we will come up with something and improve the position."

Fifth place on the grid was about as much as it looked Ferrari could have hoped for through practice, when the red cars appeared to be off the pace. But in the end Sebastian Vettel was disappointed with fifth. 

Vettel explained Ferrari’s struggles in practice by saying: “The things we tried didn’t work. It is sometimes like that. Most of the time we get it right and make a big step Friday to Saturday. This weekend not so much but we did a big step just in time, let’s say. We went in the wrong direction in the course of practice and overnight, it happens sometimes.”  

He believes he can at least challenge the Red Bulls in the race.

Once again, Ferrari's hopes of victory rest with Sebastian Vettel after Kimi Raikkonen failed to make it into Q3.

Vettel will line up fifth on the grid, behind the Red Bulls and the Mercedes, with Raikkonen down in 14th.

Strong look from Vettel on his arrival this morning...

Daniel Ricciardo starts third for Red Bull, after the team survived a scare to do with the 107% rule on Saturday night that at one point looked like they might be demoted to the second half of the grid, and he has hopes of battling for the win. 

“We're even closer this year then we have been in the past in terms of pure pace,” said the Australian, who won brilliantly here in 2014 and might have done again last year only for a collision with Nico Rosberg to turn a potential victory into a battling third. 

“We're getting stronger. We were close in qualifying, in all conditions we weren't too far off pole. The race should be interesting, the Mercedes have shown good long run pace, we've seen in free practice, but we'll be there. We start close enough to the front to make a fight for it."

There were a few questions on Saturday evening as to why it took stewards so long to investigate whether Nico Rosberg had lifted sufficiently for the yellow flags arising from Fernando Alonso’s spin at the end of qualifying. 

Initially, when it was looked at straight after qualifying, the data in race control had showed that the sector had gone ‘green’ just before Rosberg arrived. It was only some time later that it emerged that in fact the double waved yellow flags were still out - and therefore that it needed looking into again. When the stewards studied the evidence, it was clear that Rosberg had a yellow warning light on his steering wheel and that the yellow light track side that stewards had initially thought was off was in fact on. 

Rosberg’s in-car data showed he had backed off 30m earlier for Turn Eight than on his previous lap and lost just under 0.2secs in a three-second segment. As the stewards use a guideline of 0.5secs for an eight-second segment as an acceptable pace reduction for double waved yellows, this was within the boundaries of permitted behaviour and so Rosberg was allowed to keep the pole.

The drama didn't end with the waving of the chequered flag after qualifying on Saturday.

Journalists tucking into their dinners last night got a nasty surprise when, at just after 7pm local time and more than three hours after qualifying had finished, stewards announced they were investigating whether Nico Rosberg had slowed down for the yellow flags.

They subsequently decided that he had "reduced speed sufficiently", allowing members of the press to breathe a sigh of relief, and crack on with their goulash.

Alongside a picture of Nico Rosberg kicking a football, the Sunday Times goes with a 'Boot's on the other foot' headline - although the theme of the story is how Lewis Hamilton's qualifying encapsulated much of his season so far: 'A blend of over-ambition and misfortune', they say.

The Sunday Mirror focus on the yellow flag controversy in Saturday's qualifying and say that Lewis Hamilton was 'plunged into a safety row after Nico Rosberg plundered a controversial last-gasp pole in Hungary'.

It adds: 'Social media was flooded with complaints from furious fans as the German appeared to speed through safety warning flags'.

It was looking like being a Lewis Hamilton special. As the clock ticked down to the end of qualifying, the timing screens flashed purple in the first sector - and Hamilton was a massive 0.35 seconds up on his own time, which was already fastest. But then Fernando Alonso spun his McLaren at Turn Eight, Hamilton was next car along and his lap was gone. As serendipity would have it, Alonso was more or less clear by the time Nico Rosberg came along and he only had to give it the slightest of lifts. Pole was his. A slightly disgruntled Hamilton was second - and calling for clarification on the acceptable behaviour under double waved yellow flags. And the shape of the weekend changed there and then.
