BUDAPEST, Hungary—Lewis Hamilton of McLaren will start from pole position at
the Hungarian Grand Prix after winning Saturdays qualifying session ahead of
Romain Grosjean and world champion Sebastian Vettel. James Jones Youth Jersey . Hamilton clocked 1
minute 20.953 seconds to put .413 seconds between himself and Lotus driver
Grosjean, who achieved his first front-row start of the season for Sundays race.
Red Bulls Vettel finished in 1:21.416, just ahead of Hamiltons teammate Jenson
Button. “Its been a really positive weekend so far,” said Hamilton, who was
fastest in Fridays two practice sessions and second behind Mark Webber of Red
Bull in Saturdays morning practice. “Still, we have a very long race tomorrow so
lots can happen, but we just need to keep our cool.” It was the third pole of
the season and third pole at the Hungaroring, too, for Hamilton, who has one
victory in 2012 and is fifth in the standings. “Its the same as everyone else
when they win races,” Hamilton said when asked about the secrets to his success
in Hungary. “You just have to keep your head cool and make sure you look after
your tires. Tire strategy is going to be important.” It was the 150th pole
position for McLaren, which contested its first Formula One race in 1966. The
team has dominated at the Hungaroring in recent years, winning five of the last
seven events. Hamilton triumphed here in 2007 and 2009, while Button—who won
his first race here in 2005 while racing for Honda—is the defending champion
on the famously winding Hungarian circuit, where passing is difficult. World
championship leader Fernando Alonso of Ferrari was sixth, behind Lotus driver
Kimi Raikkonen. “We were expecting a very difficult qualifying and so it was,”
said Alonso, winner of two of the last three races. “All things considered,
sixth place is not to be sneered at, far from it. Its true that overtaking is
not easy here, but tomorrow it might rain and we know that can change
everything.” Rounding out the top ten on the starting grid were Ferraris Felipe
Massa, the Williams duo of Pastor Maldonado and Bruno Senna, and Nico Hulkenberg
of Force India. Alonso has 154 points after 10 of 20 races, 34 ahead of Webber,
who will start from 11th place. Vettel is 44 points behind the Ferrari driver.
Grosjean, a Formula One newcomer, was thrilled about beating Vettel for second
place on the grid just as the checkered flag came down to mark the end of
qualifying. “Being here on the front row is something special … we know
overtaking is very difficult,” Grosjean said. “Well need to start from the
front, weve said that for a long time, so first job done.” Vettel, the two-time
defending champion, was confident about achieving a good result on Sunday. “With
the progress we made since this morning and through qualifying, I think we
should be in a good position tomorrow for the race,” Vettel said. “The car is
quick and sometimes really quick but its a bit difficult to get it out of the
car all the time.” Michael Schumacher, a four-time winner in Hungary, had a
disappointing run in his Mercedes and will start from 17th place, his
second-worst qualifying spot so far this season. Sundays race at the Hungaroring

Saturdays start at Toronto after two innings with a minor muscle pull in his
lower back. Batista warmed up to start the third, but had to be replaced by
right-hander Jeremy Hefner.After a weekend in which three of the top four teams
lost, the unbeaten Atlanta Falcons emerged as the new number one team in the
TSN.ca NFL Power Rankings. The Falcons didnt so much earn their place as they
did take it by attrition. Once the Houston Texans, San Francisco 49ers and New
England Patriots suffered defeats, the Falcons had the clearest path to No. 1,
even if they barely escaped with a home win against the Oakland Raiders.
Similarly, it was a good week for the Chicago Bears to be on a bye, because they
jumped from six to two without even playing a down of football. When others are
falling, though, it can pay off to stay in the same place. Among the big movers
this week, the Washington Redskins moved from 16 to 11 after another tremendous
performance by rookie quarterbacck Robert Griffin III in their 38-26 win over

comeback win over New England helped the Seahawks move into the top half of the
rankings, going from 19 to 13. With an overpowering win against Kansas City, the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers gained ground, climbing from 27 to 22. After getting
stomped at home, the San Francisco 49ers dropped from two down to eight and the
Arizona Cardinals fell from 12 to 20 after losing the game to Buffalo and
quarterback Kevin Kolb to injury. On the wrong end of the mismatch in Tampa Bay,
the Kansas City Chiefs plummeted from 24 to 31. Scott Cullen can be reached at
