Rubens Barrichello will start tomorrow's Hungarian Grand Prix from the fourth row after qualifying in eighth position - the Brazilian's lowest qualifying position of the year. Team mate Johnny Herbert qualified in 10th place. I was coming into the last turn about to start my flying lap conscious that Frentzen was on a quick one behind me. I was hoping for a top four position today which was realistic given the way the car had been performing. However the car was very nervous and I experienced a lot more understeer this afternoon.
Strategy is the key here because there are very few overtaking opportunities.
There will be a chance to pick up places off the start if you can get enough of a drag, but it's very bumpy into the first corner so it won't be easy. We certainly expected to do better based on our Free Practice positions. That we failed to do so will make the race more difficult. After the last few races reliability is top of our list and this will be paramount tomorrow. Rubens Barrichello was fourth quickest in today's Free Practice for the Hungarian Grand Prix.
