A few words after the practice and qualifying sessions

I was very surprised about Räikkönen's position. He is usually better than Grosjean but for some reason not in Hungary. Last year Romain took the second place at qualifying but in the race Kimi overtook him after the second pitstops leaving him in 3rd place.

Tomorrow Romain has a very good chance to challenge both Hamilton and Vettel. I still think that Räikkönen is going to be higher up than Grosjean. Kimi has no problems overtaking Romain and even if he had I think that Lotus wants to be extra nice to him right now when he is deciding what to do next year.

I believe there will be a lot of action in the start. Kimi and Fernando will do everything they can to get higher up. They are the drivers everybody should keep their eyes on. Both of them has won this race ones before but Kimi has been more times on the podium than Fernando.

I was surprised that Button lost to Perez cause he really likes this track. He has also won here two times before. Jenson even took his maiden vistory with Honda here in 2006 like I wrote before on Sunday.

The disappointment was Williams' lack of pace. At first it really looked like they had found some new speed but in the end they fell down to the places where we are usually seeing them (this season).

But just like Kimi always says "the race is on Sunday" and nothing really matters what happens on Friday and Saturday. It seems that in the long runs Lotus and Ferrari are strong when it's hot weather and Mercedes is not.

I have nothing against this driver and I used to cheer for him but it would be boring to see Vettel win again. I like seasons where it's really tight from the beginning till the end.

Let's hope that we see a new winner tomorrow or somebody who hasn't won in a while.
Maybe someone like Kimi (last victory in Australia), Lewis (never won with Mercedes) or Romain (never won a race)?

Romain Grosjean, Lotus
