2011TEXAS
T he Hungarian Grand Prix is perhaps the most underrated race on the Formula One World Championship calendar
Sure the tight nature of the 44km 16-turn Hungaroring layout makes overtaking highly difficult - an issue extenuated by a low-grip surface thatrsquos typically sandy off-line
Therersquos no denying that like every circuit the Hungaroring has seen the odd dull race Ferrarirsquos demolition of the 2004 event is a case in point Perhaps paradoxically however the Hungarian Grand Prix has showcased some of the very best of what Formula One has to offer across the last 25 years
The first Hungarian Grand Prix of the modern era run in 1986 while the country was still under a communist regime saw Nelson Piquet take the win after pulling off a frankly ridiculous pass around the outside of Ayrton Senna at Turn 1 Full opposite lock with the right-front lit up - in 2011-speak it was a lsquoYouTube momentrsquo
Great moves at the Hungaroring have often been inventive as well Think Michael Schumacher being outfoxed by Jacques Villenueve while negotiating traffic in the 1996 race Nigel Mansell executed a similarly spectacular trick on Senna in 1989 - a race where the lion-hearted Brit stormed through from 12th on the grid to take the winnerrsquos trophy
Jenson Button trumped his countrymanrsquos efforts 17 years later winning in mixed conditions from the outside of the seventh row That 2006 race which included a spectacular outside pass from Fernando Alonso on Michael Schumacher marked Buttonrsquos first Grand Prix victory Heikki Kovalainen (2008) Alonso (2003) and Damon Hill (1993) have also celebrated their first wins at the venue while twice it has decided the World Championship (Mansell 1992 Schumacher 2001)
Adding Hillrsquos 1997 last lap heartbreak in the Arrows and the 2007 qualifying stoush between McLaren team-mates Alonso and Lewis Hamilton to the mix shows one never knows what to expect in Hungary With four different winners across the last four races this season the 2011 Hungarian Grand Prix is sure unlikely to be boring
Green means go

COVER STORY
By contrast to the early season dominance of Sebastian Vettel and Red
Bull Racing the Formula One circus heads to Hungary this weekend having seen four different winners in the last four races
Excitingly for Formula One fans the German Grand Prix marked the first time all season that McLaren and Ferrari both challenged Red Bull in the same race
The final result was Lewis Hamilton first and Fernando Alonso second with the RB6 mounted duo Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel third and fourth
Vettelrsquos remarkable start to the year came to an end - failing to start and finish among the top two for the first time since the year season kicked off in March at Albert Park
While Red Bull enters the Budapest weekend looking to maintain its unbeaten 2011 qualifying record Hamilton and Alonso are on the attack
Both drivers however admit that the performance order this weekend is extremely hard to predict
ldquoItrsquos going to be a completely
different challenge this weekendrdquo says Hamilton
ldquoThe weather conditions will be much hotter than they were at the lsquoRing and the nature of the circuit will be very different too
ldquoThe Hungaroring is a tight and twisty racetrack not dissimilar to Monaco in terms of downforce levels and it offers no let up for the drivers
ldquoThere wasnrsquot much between McLaren Ferrari and Red Bull in Germany Itrsquos going to be fascinating to see which team holds the advantagerdquo
Increased temperatures will certainly suit the Ferraris which have struggled for tyre warm-up this season
Alonso has scored the more
points than anyone over the last three races but is also cautious when making predictions
ldquoWe have made up a lot of ground compared to the very early part of the season in terms of performance but we must take a further step forwardrdquo says the double World Champion
ldquoWe still lack something especially in qualifying Itrsquos true that in the race we can make up for this but itrsquos not always possible to move up two places compared to our grid position as happened in Monaco Valencia Silverstone and Nurburgringrdquo
With a four-week mid-season break to come after Hungary bragging rights are well and truly on the line
Battle RoyaleRed Bull McLaren and Ferrari are locked in combat as the second half of the season kicks off

Round 2 ndash Malaysia
F rom time to time I get asked about the process we go through in order to bring you the coverage of each
and every Formula One race during the season
Essentially for me Irsquom not a producer but I really enjoy getting involved in a great many of the production aspects
During the week leading up to a race our team will sit down as a group and pick the key topics that we think are worth chasing We then start liaising with the relevant people for the weekend whether itrsquos (on the ground correspondents) James Allen or Tom Clarkson and get a mud map together of what wersquore looking for
Tom goes to every round and James doesnrsquot so it varies a bit as to who does what The boys are very good they donrsquot stick hard and fast to the plan they change it on the run depending on whatrsquos topical and what theyrsquove got Sometimes things on your wish list donrsquot come together you may want Fernando Alonso but the planets donrsquot align in terms of when yoursquove got camera time and things like that
Then yoursquove got other times when it works absolutely beautifully The amount of Tweets wersquove had from people about what Nikki Lauda has had to say when hersquos been on has been amazing People love his frankness
A key thing to remember with our telecasts is that essentially we are graphically disadvantaged Wersquod love to do what the BBC do and go to every round with a small army of people on hand to go and collate content What we did in Abu Dhabi with James and I (for the 2010 season finale) was a real high for me but itrsquos not possible to be doing that all the time so we do the best with the resources we have
James and Tom have been excellent for us James knows television very well obviously (having previously headed ITVrsquos Formula One coverage) and TC is essentially from a print background but he has come on in leaps and bounds this year
I enjoy getting my hands pretty heavily involved in what we do I canrsquot always promise that wersquoll get it right for everyone but itrsquos about walking that tight rope of catering for the hardcore viewers and those who are completely new to it Our ratings indicate that the success of Mark Webber and the variety and excitement wersquove had in Formula One of late has grown and changed the audience Wersquove had to adapt to that
Of course the whole thing is made possible by the tremendous group of people behind the scenes Our overseeing producer is a guy called Michael Heaton who has a long motorsport background in this country
two wheels and four The nuts and bolts producer on race weekends Nina Harlan has been around since the Channel 9 days with Alan Jones and Darrell Eastlake so shersquos got a long history with the sport as well
As far as my on-air colleagues go Daz (Darryl Beattie) and I have known one another for over a decade and hersquos become like a brother I think that sort of repour is something that you canrsquot create it really has to be genuinely there Bairdo (Craig Baird) has slotted into the mix so easily for very similar reasons Wersquove been dealing with one another through Super Tourers and V8 Supercars since 1997 when he was a stand by driver for the Diet Coke BMW team
When the management at Ten decided to make the telecasts a mix of a BBQ style conversation with the good stuff from on the ground sprinkled in between it wasnrsquot something that we had to think twice about
At the end of the day we donrsquot always get it right but wersquore constantly thinking of ways to do things better I really think itrsquos critical to have that attitude

RED BULL RACING THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYBy Sebastian Vettelrsquos standards
fourth place at the Nurburgring was a disaster
Missing the front-row of the grid for the first time all season spinning wildly in the opening stint and suffering an unexplained brake issue contrived to keep the rapid German off the podium
Donrsquot expect a repeat this weekend however with Red Bull returning to a track where it dominated last year
In 2010 Vettelrsquos pole time was 12s faster than Ferrarirsquos best effort
While a front-row lockout wonrsquot guarantee a one-two finish with the Super Soft and Soft tyres on such an abrasive surface it wonrsquot hurt either

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYOff throttle diffuser blowing
returned in Germany and so did McLaren
After a dismal showing at the British Grand Prix particularly in qualifying Hamilton took his second win of the season at the Nurburgring thanks to a mix of speed race craft and strategy
This weekend is one of milestones at McLaren with the 24 litre Mercedes engine celebrating its 100th race and Button enjoying his 200th Grand Prix start
The 2009 World Champion will need a change of luck if he is to remember this race fondly however after mechanical failures in the last two races
Hamilton is a genuine chance

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile Red Bull has been quick
on every circuit this year taking all 10 pole positions Ferrarirsquos form has - like that of McLaren - been more difficult to predict
Alonso only narrowly lost out on victory in Germany - emerging from the second round of stops with the lead before finding himself on the wrong side of a brilliant manoeuvre by Hamilton
Tyre warm-up has hampered the F150th Italia this season but will not be such an issue this weekend thanks to the higher ambient
Alonso is an outside chance for the win providing the teamrsquos trick new wheel nuts donrsquot prove the problem they did for Massa in Germany

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYMercedes GP looks set to
continue its trend of plugging away in the back half of the top 10 this weekend
The team has a long way to go before it can be considered a threat to Red Bull McLaren or Ferrari but has steadily eased away from Renault in recent races
With fourth place in the Constructorsrsquo Championship the teamrsquos only achievable target more points this weekend will be a solid result
Schumacher will hope to have a rare trouble-free race after incidents in Europe (collision with Petrov) Britain (collision with Kobayashi) and Germany (solo spin) Expect Rosberg to once again be faster and more consistent than his team-mate

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile the Renault R31s
campaigned at the Nurburgring proved far more competitive than those seen two weeks earlier at Silverstone - particularly in qualifying - a single point was hardly a strong outcome
Renault continued to race with its forward facing exhaust package on both cars in Germany despite trialling its rearward facing solution in practice Balance issues may see the team again refrain from racing the new design this weekend
The Hungaroring will see Bruno Senna take the wheel of Heidfeldrsquos car in Practice 1 as speculation continues to mount over the Germanrsquos future
Torquey Renault engine should help secure more points this weekend

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWIlliams struggled badly with
tyre degradation last weekend in Germany - a fact that does not bode well heading to the highly abrasive high-temperature Hungaroring
Adding the Super Soft tyre into the mix this weekend is likely to compound matters further
The team will try a revised version of the rear wing it practised with last weekend - abandoning it before the race due to structural issues
KERS also remains a question mark with Barrichello having raced without it in order to access its impact on tyre wear
Points will be a stretch

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAdrian Sutil enjoyed his
strongest race of the season at the Nurburgring - qualifying eighth and finishing sixth
The final result was a mixture of speed and strategy however with Sutil the only driver to finish in the points having stopped just twice
The strategy allowed Sutil to finish ahead of Rosbergrsquos Mercedes despite being almost a full second slower than his fellow German in qualifying
Di Resta will be extra keen to return to the points prior to the mid-season break having failed to record a top 10 finish since Malaysia

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYExpect the Toro Rosso drivers
to be up to their usual trick this weekend in Hungary - qualifying at the back of the Q2 pack before moving forward in the race armed with an extra set of brand new soft tyres
The strategy has been continually employed by the team over recent races and may work wonders if tyre wear is as heavy as expected in Budapest

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYSanity has been restored at Team
Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAll eyes were on Ricciardo in
Q1 at the Nurburgring and the Australian didnrsquot disappoint
In just his second Formula One qualifying session the West Aussie was within 0025s of the experienced Liuzzi and will again challenge the Italian strongly this weekend
The teamrsquos real target must remain Virgin Racing however having fallen behind its fellow second-year squad in recent races

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYVirgin Racing enjoyed its best
moment of the season on Sunday at the Nurburgring - with lead driver Timo Glock resigning for another three years prior to the race
The fast and experienced German is arguably the teamrsquos biggest asset and will play a crucial role in the teamrsquos plans to move up the pecking order
With a noticeable step forward again unlikely to occur this weekend the teamrsquos target will once again involve running between Team Lotus and Hispania

2011TEXAS
T he Hungarian Grand Prix is perhaps the most underrated race on the Formula One World Championship calendar
Sure the tight nature of the 44km 16-turn Hungaroring layout makes overtaking highly difficult - an issue extenuated by a low-grip surface thatrsquos typically sandy off-line
Therersquos no denying that like every circuit the Hungaroring has seen the odd dull race Ferrarirsquos demolition of the 2004 event is a case in point Perhaps paradoxically however the Hungarian Grand Prix has showcased some of the very best of what Formula One has to offer across the last 25 years
The first Hungarian Grand Prix of the modern era run in 1986 while the country was still under a communist regime saw Nelson Piquet take the win after pulling off a frankly ridiculous pass around the outside of Ayrton Senna at Turn 1 Full opposite lock with the right-front lit up - in 2011-speak it was a lsquoYouTube momentrsquo
Great moves at the Hungaroring have often been inventive as well Think Michael Schumacher being outfoxed by Jacques Villenueve while negotiating traffic in the 1996 race Nigel Mansell executed a similarly spectacular trick on Senna in 1989 - a race where the lion-hearted Brit stormed through from 12th on the grid to take the winnerrsquos trophy
Jenson Button trumped his countrymanrsquos efforts 17 years later winning in mixed conditions from the outside of the seventh row That 2006 race which included a spectacular outside pass from Fernando Alonso on Michael Schumacher marked Buttonrsquos first Grand Prix victory Heikki Kovalainen (2008) Alonso (2003) and Damon Hill (1993) have also celebrated their first wins at the venue while twice it has decided the World Championship (Mansell 1992 Schumacher 2001)
Adding Hillrsquos 1997 last lap heartbreak in the Arrows and the 2007 qualifying stoush between McLaren team-mates Alonso and Lewis Hamilton to the mix shows one never knows what to expect in Hungary With four different winners across the last four races this season the 2011 Hungarian Grand Prix is sure unlikely to be boring

COVER STORY
By contrast to the early season dominance of Sebastian Vettel and Red
Bull Racing the Formula One circus heads to Hungary this weekend having seen four different winners in the last four races
Excitingly for Formula One fans the German Grand Prix marked the first time all season that McLaren and Ferrari both challenged Red Bull in the same race
The final result was Lewis Hamilton first and Fernando Alonso second with the RB6 mounted duo Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel third and fourth
Vettelrsquos remarkable start to the year came to an end - failing to start and finish among the top two for the first time since the year season kicked off in March at Albert Park
While Red Bull enters the Budapest weekend looking to maintain its unbeaten 2011 qualifying record Hamilton and Alonso are on the attack
Both drivers however admit that the performance order this weekend is extremely hard to predict
ldquoItrsquos going to be a completely
different challenge this weekendrdquo says Hamilton
ldquoThe weather conditions will be much hotter than they were at the lsquoRing and the nature of the circuit will be very different too
ldquoThe Hungaroring is a tight and twisty racetrack not dissimilar to Monaco in terms of downforce levels and it offers no let up for the drivers
ldquoThere wasnrsquot much between McLaren Ferrari and Red Bull in Germany Itrsquos going to be fascinating to see which team holds the advantagerdquo
Increased temperatures will certainly suit the Ferraris which have struggled for tyre warm-up this season
Alonso has scored the more
points than anyone over the last three races but is also cautious when making predictions
ldquoWe have made up a lot of ground compared to the very early part of the season in terms of performance but we must take a further step forwardrdquo says the double World Champion
ldquoWe still lack something especially in qualifying Itrsquos true that in the race we can make up for this but itrsquos not always possible to move up two places compared to our grid position as happened in Monaco Valencia Silverstone and Nurburgringrdquo
With a four-week mid-season break to come after Hungary bragging rights are well and truly on the line
Battle RoyaleRed Bull McLaren and Ferrari are locked in combat as the second half of the season kicks off

Round 2 ndash Malaysia
F rom time to time I get asked about the process we go through in order to bring you the coverage of each
and every Formula One race during the season
Essentially for me Irsquom not a producer but I really enjoy getting involved in a great many of the production aspects
During the week leading up to a race our team will sit down as a group and pick the key topics that we think are worth chasing We then start liaising with the relevant people for the weekend whether itrsquos (on the ground correspondents) James Allen or Tom Clarkson and get a mud map together of what wersquore looking for
Tom goes to every round and James doesnrsquot so it varies a bit as to who does what The boys are very good they donrsquot stick hard and fast to the plan they change it on the run depending on whatrsquos topical and what theyrsquove got Sometimes things on your wish list donrsquot come together you may want Fernando Alonso but the planets donrsquot align in terms of when yoursquove got camera time and things like that
Then yoursquove got other times when it works absolutely beautifully The amount of Tweets wersquove had from people about what Nikki Lauda has had to say when hersquos been on has been amazing People love his frankness
A key thing to remember with our telecasts is that essentially we are graphically disadvantaged Wersquod love to do what the BBC do and go to every round with a small army of people on hand to go and collate content What we did in Abu Dhabi with James and I (for the 2010 season finale) was a real high for me but itrsquos not possible to be doing that all the time so we do the best with the resources we have
James and Tom have been excellent for us James knows television very well obviously (having previously headed ITVrsquos Formula One coverage) and TC is essentially from a print background but he has come on in leaps and bounds this year
I enjoy getting my hands pretty heavily involved in what we do I canrsquot always promise that wersquoll get it right for everyone but itrsquos about walking that tight rope of catering for the hardcore viewers and those who are completely new to it Our ratings indicate that the success of Mark Webber and the variety and excitement wersquove had in Formula One of late has grown and changed the audience Wersquove had to adapt to that
Of course the whole thing is made possible by the tremendous group of people behind the scenes Our overseeing producer is a guy called Michael Heaton who has a long motorsport background in this country
two wheels and four The nuts and bolts producer on race weekends Nina Harlan has been around since the Channel 9 days with Alan Jones and Darrell Eastlake so shersquos got a long history with the sport as well
As far as my on-air colleagues go Daz (Darryl Beattie) and I have known one another for over a decade and hersquos become like a brother I think that sort of repour is something that you canrsquot create it really has to be genuinely there Bairdo (Craig Baird) has slotted into the mix so easily for very similar reasons Wersquove been dealing with one another through Super Tourers and V8 Supercars since 1997 when he was a stand by driver for the Diet Coke BMW team
When the management at Ten decided to make the telecasts a mix of a BBQ style conversation with the good stuff from on the ground sprinkled in between it wasnrsquot something that we had to think twice about
At the end of the day we donrsquot always get it right but wersquore constantly thinking of ways to do things better I really think itrsquos critical to have that attitude

RED BULL RACING THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYBy Sebastian Vettelrsquos standards
fourth place at the Nurburgring was a disaster
Missing the front-row of the grid for the first time all season spinning wildly in the opening stint and suffering an unexplained brake issue contrived to keep the rapid German off the podium
Donrsquot expect a repeat this weekend however with Red Bull returning to a track where it dominated last year
In 2010 Vettelrsquos pole time was 12s faster than Ferrarirsquos best effort
While a front-row lockout wonrsquot guarantee a one-two finish with the Super Soft and Soft tyres on such an abrasive surface it wonrsquot hurt either

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYOff throttle diffuser blowing
returned in Germany and so did McLaren
After a dismal showing at the British Grand Prix particularly in qualifying Hamilton took his second win of the season at the Nurburgring thanks to a mix of speed race craft and strategy
This weekend is one of milestones at McLaren with the 24 litre Mercedes engine celebrating its 100th race and Button enjoying his 200th Grand Prix start
The 2009 World Champion will need a change of luck if he is to remember this race fondly however after mechanical failures in the last two races
Hamilton is a genuine chance

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile Red Bull has been quick
on every circuit this year taking all 10 pole positions Ferrarirsquos form has - like that of McLaren - been more difficult to predict
Alonso only narrowly lost out on victory in Germany - emerging from the second round of stops with the lead before finding himself on the wrong side of a brilliant manoeuvre by Hamilton
Tyre warm-up has hampered the F150th Italia this season but will not be such an issue this weekend thanks to the higher ambient
Alonso is an outside chance for the win providing the teamrsquos trick new wheel nuts donrsquot prove the problem they did for Massa in Germany

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYMercedes GP looks set to
continue its trend of plugging away in the back half of the top 10 this weekend
The team has a long way to go before it can be considered a threat to Red Bull McLaren or Ferrari but has steadily eased away from Renault in recent races
With fourth place in the Constructorsrsquo Championship the teamrsquos only achievable target more points this weekend will be a solid result
Schumacher will hope to have a rare trouble-free race after incidents in Europe (collision with Petrov) Britain (collision with Kobayashi) and Germany (solo spin) Expect Rosberg to once again be faster and more consistent than his team-mate

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile the Renault R31s
campaigned at the Nurburgring proved far more competitive than those seen two weeks earlier at Silverstone - particularly in qualifying - a single point was hardly a strong outcome
Renault continued to race with its forward facing exhaust package on both cars in Germany despite trialling its rearward facing solution in practice Balance issues may see the team again refrain from racing the new design this weekend
The Hungaroring will see Bruno Senna take the wheel of Heidfeldrsquos car in Practice 1 as speculation continues to mount over the Germanrsquos future
Torquey Renault engine should help secure more points this weekend

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWIlliams struggled badly with
tyre degradation last weekend in Germany - a fact that does not bode well heading to the highly abrasive high-temperature Hungaroring
Adding the Super Soft tyre into the mix this weekend is likely to compound matters further
The team will try a revised version of the rear wing it practised with last weekend - abandoning it before the race due to structural issues
KERS also remains a question mark with Barrichello having raced without it in order to access its impact on tyre wear
Points will be a stretch

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAdrian Sutil enjoyed his
strongest race of the season at the Nurburgring - qualifying eighth and finishing sixth
The final result was a mixture of speed and strategy however with Sutil the only driver to finish in the points having stopped just twice
The strategy allowed Sutil to finish ahead of Rosbergrsquos Mercedes despite being almost a full second slower than his fellow German in qualifying
Di Resta will be extra keen to return to the points prior to the mid-season break having failed to record a top 10 finish since Malaysia

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYExpect the Toro Rosso drivers
to be up to their usual trick this weekend in Hungary - qualifying at the back of the Q2 pack before moving forward in the race armed with an extra set of brand new soft tyres
The strategy has been continually employed by the team over recent races and may work wonders if tyre wear is as heavy as expected in Budapest

Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAll eyes were on Ricciardo in
Q1 at the Nurburgring and the Australian didnrsquot disappoint
In just his second Formula One qualifying session the West Aussie was within 0025s of the experienced Liuzzi and will again challenge the Italian strongly this weekend
The teamrsquos real target must remain Virgin Racing however having fallen behind its fellow second-year squad in recent races

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYVirgin Racing enjoyed its best
moment of the season on Sunday at the Nurburgring - with lead driver Timo Glock resigning for another three years prior to the race
The fast and experienced German is arguably the teamrsquos biggest asset and will play a crucial role in the teamrsquos plans to move up the pecking order
With a noticeable step forward again unlikely to occur this weekend the teamrsquos target will once again involve running between Team Lotus and Hispania

2011TEXAS
T he Hungarian Grand Prix is perhaps the most underrated race on the Formula One World Championship calendar
Sure the tight nature of the 44km 16-turn Hungaroring layout makes overtaking highly difficult - an issue extenuated by a low-grip surface thatrsquos typically sandy off-line
Therersquos no denying that like every circuit the Hungaroring has seen the odd dull race Ferrarirsquos demolition of the 2004 event is a case in point Perhaps paradoxically however the Hungarian Grand Prix has showcased some of the very best of what Formula One has to offer across the last 25 years
The first Hungarian Grand Prix of the modern era run in 1986 while the country was still under a communist regime saw Nelson Piquet take the win after pulling off a frankly ridiculous pass around the outside of Ayrton Senna at Turn 1 Full opposite lock with the right-front lit up - in 2011-speak it was a lsquoYouTube momentrsquo
Great moves at the Hungaroring have often been inventive as well Think Michael Schumacher being outfoxed by Jacques Villenueve while negotiating traffic in the 1996 race Nigel Mansell executed a similarly spectacular trick on Senna in 1989 - a race where the lion-hearted Brit stormed through from 12th on the grid to take the winnerrsquos trophy
Jenson Button trumped his countrymanrsquos efforts 17 years later winning in mixed conditions from the outside of the seventh row That 2006 race which included a spectacular outside pass from Fernando Alonso on Michael Schumacher marked Buttonrsquos first Grand Prix victory Heikki Kovalainen (2008) Alonso (2003) and Damon Hill (1993) have also celebrated their first wins at the venue while twice it has decided the World Championship (Mansell 1992 Schumacher 2001)
Adding Hillrsquos 1997 last lap heartbreak in the Arrows and the 2007 qualifying stoush between McLaren team-mates Alonso and Lewis Hamilton to the mix shows one never knows what to expect in Hungary With four different winners across the last four races this season the 2011 Hungarian Grand Prix is sure unlikely to be boring

COVER STORY
By contrast to the early season dominance of Sebastian Vettel and Red
Bull Racing the Formula One circus heads to Hungary this weekend having seen four different winners in the last four races
Excitingly for Formula One fans the German Grand Prix marked the first time all season that McLaren and Ferrari both challenged Red Bull in the same race
The final result was Lewis Hamilton first and Fernando Alonso second with the RB6 mounted duo Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel third and fourth
Vettelrsquos remarkable start to the year came to an end - failing to start and finish among the top two for the first time since the year season kicked off in March at Albert Park
While Red Bull enters the Budapest weekend looking to maintain its unbeaten 2011 qualifying record Hamilton and Alonso are on the attack
Both drivers however admit that the performance order this weekend is extremely hard to predict
ldquoItrsquos going to be a completely
different challenge this weekendrdquo says Hamilton
ldquoThe weather conditions will be much hotter than they were at the lsquoRing and the nature of the circuit will be very different too
ldquoThe Hungaroring is a tight and twisty racetrack not dissimilar to Monaco in terms of downforce levels and it offers no let up for the drivers
ldquoThere wasnrsquot much between McLaren Ferrari and Red Bull in Germany Itrsquos going to be fascinating to see which team holds the advantagerdquo
Increased temperatures will certainly suit the Ferraris which have struggled for tyre warm-up this season
Alonso has scored the more
points than anyone over the last three races but is also cautious when making predictions
ldquoWe have made up a lot of ground compared to the very early part of the season in terms of performance but we must take a further step forwardrdquo says the double World Champion
ldquoWe still lack something especially in qualifying Itrsquos true that in the race we can make up for this but itrsquos not always possible to move up two places compared to our grid position as happened in Monaco Valencia Silverstone and Nurburgringrdquo
With a four-week mid-season break to come after Hungary bragging rights are well and truly on the line
Battle RoyaleRed Bull McLaren and Ferrari are locked in combat as the second half of the season kicks off

Round 2 ndash Malaysia
F rom time to time I get asked about the process we go through in order to bring you the coverage of each
and every Formula One race during the season
Essentially for me Irsquom not a producer but I really enjoy getting involved in a great many of the production aspects
During the week leading up to a race our team will sit down as a group and pick the key topics that we think are worth chasing We then start liaising with the relevant people for the weekend whether itrsquos (on the ground correspondents) James Allen or Tom Clarkson and get a mud map together of what wersquore looking for
Tom goes to every round and James doesnrsquot so it varies a bit as to who does what The boys are very good they donrsquot stick hard and fast to the plan they change it on the run depending on whatrsquos topical and what theyrsquove got Sometimes things on your wish list donrsquot come together you may want Fernando Alonso but the planets donrsquot align in terms of when yoursquove got camera time and things like that
Then yoursquove got other times when it works absolutely beautifully The amount of Tweets wersquove had from people about what Nikki Lauda has had to say when hersquos been on has been amazing People love his frankness
A key thing to remember with our telecasts is that essentially we are graphically disadvantaged Wersquod love to do what the BBC do and go to every round with a small army of people on hand to go and collate content What we did in Abu Dhabi with James and I (for the 2010 season finale) was a real high for me but itrsquos not possible to be doing that all the time so we do the best with the resources we have
James and Tom have been excellent for us James knows television very well obviously (having previously headed ITVrsquos Formula One coverage) and TC is essentially from a print background but he has come on in leaps and bounds this year
I enjoy getting my hands pretty heavily involved in what we do I canrsquot always promise that wersquoll get it right for everyone but itrsquos about walking that tight rope of catering for the hardcore viewers and those who are completely new to it Our ratings indicate that the success of Mark Webber and the variety and excitement wersquove had in Formula One of late has grown and changed the audience Wersquove had to adapt to that
Of course the whole thing is made possible by the tremendous group of people behind the scenes Our overseeing producer is a guy called Michael Heaton who has a long motorsport background in this country
two wheels and four The nuts and bolts producer on race weekends Nina Harlan has been around since the Channel 9 days with Alan Jones and Darrell Eastlake so shersquos got a long history with the sport as well
As far as my on-air colleagues go Daz (Darryl Beattie) and I have known one another for over a decade and hersquos become like a brother I think that sort of repour is something that you canrsquot create it really has to be genuinely there Bairdo (Craig Baird) has slotted into the mix so easily for very similar reasons Wersquove been dealing with one another through Super Tourers and V8 Supercars since 1997 when he was a stand by driver for the Diet Coke BMW team
When the management at Ten decided to make the telecasts a mix of a BBQ style conversation with the good stuff from on the ground sprinkled in between it wasnrsquot something that we had to think twice about
At the end of the day we donrsquot always get it right but wersquore constantly thinking of ways to do things better I really think itrsquos critical to have that attitude

RED BULL RACING THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYBy Sebastian Vettelrsquos standards
fourth place at the Nurburgring was a disaster
Missing the front-row of the grid for the first time all season spinning wildly in the opening stint and suffering an unexplained brake issue contrived to keep the rapid German off the podium
Donrsquot expect a repeat this weekend however with Red Bull returning to a track where it dominated last year
In 2010 Vettelrsquos pole time was 12s faster than Ferrarirsquos best effort
While a front-row lockout wonrsquot guarantee a one-two finish with the Super Soft and Soft tyres on such an abrasive surface it wonrsquot hurt either

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYOff throttle diffuser blowing
returned in Germany and so did McLaren
After a dismal showing at the British Grand Prix particularly in qualifying Hamilton took his second win of the season at the Nurburgring thanks to a mix of speed race craft and strategy
This weekend is one of milestones at McLaren with the 24 litre Mercedes engine celebrating its 100th race and Button enjoying his 200th Grand Prix start
The 2009 World Champion will need a change of luck if he is to remember this race fondly however after mechanical failures in the last two races
Hamilton is a genuine chance

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile Red Bull has been quick
on every circuit this year taking all 10 pole positions Ferrarirsquos form has - like that of McLaren - been more difficult to predict
Alonso only narrowly lost out on victory in Germany - emerging from the second round of stops with the lead before finding himself on the wrong side of a brilliant manoeuvre by Hamilton
Tyre warm-up has hampered the F150th Italia this season but will not be such an issue this weekend thanks to the higher ambient
Alonso is an outside chance for the win providing the teamrsquos trick new wheel nuts donrsquot prove the problem they did for Massa in Germany

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYMercedes GP looks set to
continue its trend of plugging away in the back half of the top 10 this weekend
The team has a long way to go before it can be considered a threat to Red Bull McLaren or Ferrari but has steadily eased away from Renault in recent races
With fourth place in the Constructorsrsquo Championship the teamrsquos only achievable target more points this weekend will be a solid result
Schumacher will hope to have a rare trouble-free race after incidents in Europe (collision with Petrov) Britain (collision with Kobayashi) and Germany (solo spin) Expect Rosberg to once again be faster and more consistent than his team-mate

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile the Renault R31s
campaigned at the Nurburgring proved far more competitive than those seen two weeks earlier at Silverstone - particularly in qualifying - a single point was hardly a strong outcome
Renault continued to race with its forward facing exhaust package on both cars in Germany despite trialling its rearward facing solution in practice Balance issues may see the team again refrain from racing the new design this weekend
The Hungaroring will see Bruno Senna take the wheel of Heidfeldrsquos car in Practice 1 as speculation continues to mount over the Germanrsquos future
Torquey Renault engine should help secure more points this weekend

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWIlliams struggled badly with
tyre degradation last weekend in Germany - a fact that does not bode well heading to the highly abrasive high-temperature Hungaroring
Adding the Super Soft tyre into the mix this weekend is likely to compound matters further
The team will try a revised version of the rear wing it practised with last weekend - abandoning it before the race due to structural issues
KERS also remains a question mark with Barrichello having raced without it in order to access its impact on tyre wear
Points will be a stretch

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAdrian Sutil enjoyed his
strongest race of the season at the Nurburgring - qualifying eighth and finishing sixth
The final result was a mixture of speed and strategy however with Sutil the only driver to finish in the points having stopped just twice
The strategy allowed Sutil to finish ahead of Rosbergrsquos Mercedes despite being almost a full second slower than his fellow German in qualifying
Di Resta will be extra keen to return to the points prior to the mid-season break having failed to record a top 10 finish since Malaysia

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYThe Sauber C30 has time and

Kobayashi stormed through the field at the Nurburgring finishing ninth after an embarrassing Q1 exit on Saturday that saw him start18th

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYExpect the Toro Rosso drivers
to be up to their usual trick this weekend in Hungary - qualifying at the back of the Q2 pack before moving forward in the race armed with an extra set of brand new soft tyres
The strategy has been continually employed by the team over recent races and may work wonders if tyre wear is as heavy as expected in Budapest
Buemirsquos chance at points in Germany evaporated thanks to an awkward early race collision with Heidfeldrsquos Renault while Alguersuari was unable to make it four points finishes in a row coming home 12th

Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely

moment of the season on Sunday at the Nurburgring - with lead driver Timo Glock resigning for another three years prior to the race

With a noticeable step forward again unlikely to occur this weekend the teamrsquos target will once again involve running between Team Lotus and Hispania

2011TEXAS
T he Hungarian Grand Prix is perhaps the most underrated race on the Formula One World Championship calendar
Sure the tight nature of the 44km 16-turn Hungaroring layout makes overtaking highly difficult - an issue extenuated by a low-grip surface thatrsquos typically sandy off-line
Therersquos no denying that like every circuit the Hungaroring has seen the odd dull race Ferrarirsquos demolition of the 2004 event is a case in point Perhaps paradoxically however the Hungarian Grand Prix has showcased some of the very best of what Formula One has to offer across the last 25 years
The first Hungarian Grand Prix of the modern era run in 1986 while the country was still under a communist regime saw Nelson Piquet take the win after pulling off a frankly ridiculous pass around the outside of Ayrton Senna at Turn 1 Full opposite lock with the right-front lit up - in 2011-speak it was a lsquoYouTube momentrsquo
Great moves at the Hungaroring have often been inventive as well Think Michael Schumacher being outfoxed by Jacques Villenueve while negotiating traffic in the 1996 race Nigel Mansell executed a similarly spectacular trick on Senna in 1989 - a race where the lion-hearted Brit stormed through from 12th on the grid to take the winnerrsquos trophy
Jenson Button trumped his countrymanrsquos efforts 17 years later winning in mixed conditions from the outside of the seventh row That 2006 race which included a spectacular outside pass from Fernando Alonso on Michael Schumacher marked Buttonrsquos first Grand Prix victory Heikki Kovalainen (2008) Alonso (2003) and Damon Hill (1993) have also celebrated their first wins at the venue while twice it has decided the World Championship (Mansell 1992 Schumacher 2001)
Adding Hillrsquos 1997 last lap heartbreak in the Arrows and the 2007 qualifying stoush between McLaren team-mates Alonso and Lewis Hamilton to the mix shows one never knows what to expect in Hungary With four different winners across the last four races this season the 2011 Hungarian Grand Prix is sure unlikely to be boring
Green means go

COVER STORY
By contrast to the early season dominance of Sebastian Vettel and Red
Bull Racing the Formula One circus heads to Hungary this weekend having seen four different winners in the last four races
Excitingly for Formula One fans the German Grand Prix marked the first time all season that McLaren and Ferrari both challenged Red Bull in the same race
The final result was Lewis Hamilton first and Fernando Alonso second with the RB6 mounted duo Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel third and fourth
Vettelrsquos remarkable start to the year came to an end - failing to start and finish among the top two for the first time since the year season kicked off in March at Albert Park
While Red Bull enters the Budapest weekend looking to maintain its unbeaten 2011 qualifying record Hamilton and Alonso are on the attack
Both drivers however admit that the performance order this weekend is extremely hard to predict
ldquoItrsquos going to be a completely
different challenge this weekendrdquo says Hamilton
ldquoThe weather conditions will be much hotter than they were at the lsquoRing and the nature of the circuit will be very different too
ldquoThe Hungaroring is a tight and twisty racetrack not dissimilar to Monaco in terms of downforce levels and it offers no let up for the drivers
ldquoThere wasnrsquot much between McLaren Ferrari and Red Bull in Germany Itrsquos going to be fascinating to see which team holds the advantagerdquo
Increased temperatures will certainly suit the Ferraris which have struggled for tyre warm-up this season
Alonso has scored the more
points than anyone over the last three races but is also cautious when making predictions
ldquoWe have made up a lot of ground compared to the very early part of the season in terms of performance but we must take a further step forwardrdquo says the double World Champion
ldquoWe still lack something especially in qualifying Itrsquos true that in the race we can make up for this but itrsquos not always possible to move up two places compared to our grid position as happened in Monaco Valencia Silverstone and Nurburgringrdquo
With a four-week mid-season break to come after Hungary bragging rights are well and truly on the line
Battle RoyaleRed Bull McLaren and Ferrari are locked in combat as the second half of the season kicks off

Round 2 ndash Malaysia
F rom time to time I get asked about the process we go through in order to bring you the coverage of each
and every Formula One race during the season
Essentially for me Irsquom not a producer but I really enjoy getting involved in a great many of the production aspects
During the week leading up to a race our team will sit down as a group and pick the key topics that we think are worth chasing We then start liaising with the relevant people for the weekend whether itrsquos (on the ground correspondents) James Allen or Tom Clarkson and get a mud map together of what wersquore looking for
Tom goes to every round and James doesnrsquot so it varies a bit as to who does what The boys are very good they donrsquot stick hard and fast to the plan they change it on the run depending on whatrsquos topical and what theyrsquove got Sometimes things on your wish list donrsquot come together you may want Fernando Alonso but the planets donrsquot align in terms of when yoursquove got camera time and things like that
Then yoursquove got other times when it works absolutely beautifully The amount of Tweets wersquove had from people about what Nikki Lauda has had to say when hersquos been on has been amazing People love his frankness
A key thing to remember with our telecasts is that essentially we are graphically disadvantaged Wersquod love to do what the BBC do and go to every round with a small army of people on hand to go and collate content What we did in Abu Dhabi with James and I (for the 2010 season finale) was a real high for me but itrsquos not possible to be doing that all the time so we do the best with the resources we have
James and Tom have been excellent for us James knows television very well obviously (having previously headed ITVrsquos Formula One coverage) and TC is essentially from a print background but he has come on in leaps and bounds this year
I enjoy getting my hands pretty heavily involved in what we do I canrsquot always promise that wersquoll get it right for everyone but itrsquos about walking that tight rope of catering for the hardcore viewers and those who are completely new to it Our ratings indicate that the success of Mark Webber and the variety and excitement wersquove had in Formula One of late has grown and changed the audience Wersquove had to adapt to that
Of course the whole thing is made possible by the tremendous group of people behind the scenes Our overseeing producer is a guy called Michael Heaton who has a long motorsport background in this country
two wheels and four The nuts and bolts producer on race weekends Nina Harlan has been around since the Channel 9 days with Alan Jones and Darrell Eastlake so shersquos got a long history with the sport as well
As far as my on-air colleagues go Daz (Darryl Beattie) and I have known one another for over a decade and hersquos become like a brother I think that sort of repour is something that you canrsquot create it really has to be genuinely there Bairdo (Craig Baird) has slotted into the mix so easily for very similar reasons Wersquove been dealing with one another through Super Tourers and V8 Supercars since 1997 when he was a stand by driver for the Diet Coke BMW team
When the management at Ten decided to make the telecasts a mix of a BBQ style conversation with the good stuff from on the ground sprinkled in between it wasnrsquot something that we had to think twice about
At the end of the day we donrsquot always get it right but wersquore constantly thinking of ways to do things better I really think itrsquos critical to have that attitude

RED BULL RACING THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYBy Sebastian Vettelrsquos standards
fourth place at the Nurburgring was a disaster
Missing the front-row of the grid for the first time all season spinning wildly in the opening stint and suffering an unexplained brake issue contrived to keep the rapid German off the podium
Donrsquot expect a repeat this weekend however with Red Bull returning to a track where it dominated last year
In 2010 Vettelrsquos pole time was 12s faster than Ferrarirsquos best effort
While a front-row lockout wonrsquot guarantee a one-two finish with the Super Soft and Soft tyres on such an abrasive surface it wonrsquot hurt either

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYOff throttle diffuser blowing
returned in Germany and so did McLaren
After a dismal showing at the British Grand Prix particularly in qualifying Hamilton took his second win of the season at the Nurburgring thanks to a mix of speed race craft and strategy
This weekend is one of milestones at McLaren with the 24 litre Mercedes engine celebrating its 100th race and Button enjoying his 200th Grand Prix start
The 2009 World Champion will need a change of luck if he is to remember this race fondly however after mechanical failures in the last two races
Hamilton is a genuine chance

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile Red Bull has been quick
on every circuit this year taking all 10 pole positions Ferrarirsquos form has - like that of McLaren - been more difficult to predict
Alonso only narrowly lost out on victory in Germany - emerging from the second round of stops with the lead before finding himself on the wrong side of a brilliant manoeuvre by Hamilton
Tyre warm-up has hampered the F150th Italia this season but will not be such an issue this weekend thanks to the higher ambient
Alonso is an outside chance for the win providing the teamrsquos trick new wheel nuts donrsquot prove the problem they did for Massa in Germany

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYMercedes GP looks set to
continue its trend of plugging away in the back half of the top 10 this weekend
The team has a long way to go before it can be considered a threat to Red Bull McLaren or Ferrari but has steadily eased away from Renault in recent races
With fourth place in the Constructorsrsquo Championship the teamrsquos only achievable target more points this weekend will be a solid result
Schumacher will hope to have a rare trouble-free race after incidents in Europe (collision with Petrov) Britain (collision with Kobayashi) and Germany (solo spin) Expect Rosberg to once again be faster and more consistent than his team-mate

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile the Renault R31s
campaigned at the Nurburgring proved far more competitive than those seen two weeks earlier at Silverstone - particularly in qualifying - a single point was hardly a strong outcome
Renault continued to race with its forward facing exhaust package on both cars in Germany despite trialling its rearward facing solution in practice Balance issues may see the team again refrain from racing the new design this weekend
The Hungaroring will see Bruno Senna take the wheel of Heidfeldrsquos car in Practice 1 as speculation continues to mount over the Germanrsquos future
Torquey Renault engine should help secure more points this weekend

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWIlliams struggled badly with
tyre degradation last weekend in Germany - a fact that does not bode well heading to the highly abrasive high-temperature Hungaroring
Adding the Super Soft tyre into the mix this weekend is likely to compound matters further
The team will try a revised version of the rear wing it practised with last weekend - abandoning it before the race due to structural issues
KERS also remains a question mark with Barrichello having raced without it in order to access its impact on tyre wear
Points will be a stretch

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAdrian Sutil enjoyed his
strongest race of the season at the Nurburgring - qualifying eighth and finishing sixth
The final result was a mixture of speed and strategy however with Sutil the only driver to finish in the points having stopped just twice
The strategy allowed Sutil to finish ahead of Rosbergrsquos Mercedes despite being almost a full second slower than his fellow German in qualifying
Di Resta will be extra keen to return to the points prior to the mid-season break having failed to record a top 10 finish since Malaysia

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYExpect the Toro Rosso drivers
to be up to their usual trick this weekend in Hungary - qualifying at the back of the Q2 pack before moving forward in the race armed with an extra set of brand new soft tyres
The strategy has been continually employed by the team over recent races and may work wonders if tyre wear is as heavy as expected in Budapest

Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely

T he Hungarian Grand Prix is perhaps the most underrated race on the Formula One World Championship calendar
Sure the tight nature of the 44km 16-turn Hungaroring layout makes overtaking highly difficult - an issue extenuated by a low-grip surface thatrsquos typically sandy off-line
Therersquos no denying that like every circuit the Hungaroring has seen the odd dull race Ferrarirsquos demolition of the 2004 event is a case in point Perhaps paradoxically however the Hungarian Grand Prix has showcased some of the very best of what Formula One has to offer across the last 25 years
The first Hungarian Grand Prix of the modern era run in 1986 while the country was still under a communist regime saw Nelson Piquet take the win after pulling off a frankly ridiculous pass around the outside of Ayrton Senna at Turn 1 Full opposite lock with the right-front lit up - in 2011-speak it was a lsquoYouTube momentrsquo
Great moves at the Hungaroring have often been inventive as well Think Michael Schumacher being outfoxed by Jacques Villenueve while negotiating traffic in the 1996 race Nigel Mansell executed a similarly spectacular trick on Senna in 1989 - a race where the lion-hearted Brit stormed through from 12th on the grid to take the winnerrsquos trophy
Jenson Button trumped his countrymanrsquos efforts 17 years later winning in mixed conditions from the outside of the seventh row That 2006 race which included a spectacular outside pass from Fernando Alonso on Michael Schumacher marked Buttonrsquos first Grand Prix victory Heikki Kovalainen (2008) Alonso (2003) and Damon Hill (1993) have also celebrated their first wins at the venue while twice it has decided the World Championship (Mansell 1992 Schumacher 2001)
Adding Hillrsquos 1997 last lap heartbreak in the Arrows and the 2007 qualifying stoush between McLaren team-mates Alonso and Lewis Hamilton to the mix shows one never knows what to expect in Hungary With four different winners across the last four races this season the 2011 Hungarian Grand Prix is sure unlikely to be boring

COVER STORY
By contrast to the early season dominance of Sebastian Vettel and Red
Bull Racing the Formula One circus heads to Hungary this weekend having seen four different winners in the last four races
Excitingly for Formula One fans the German Grand Prix marked the first time all season that McLaren and Ferrari both challenged Red Bull in the same race
The final result was Lewis Hamilton first and Fernando Alonso second with the RB6 mounted duo Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel third and fourth
Vettelrsquos remarkable start to the year came to an end - failing to start and finish among the top two for the first time since the year season kicked off in March at Albert Park
While Red Bull enters the Budapest weekend looking to maintain its unbeaten 2011 qualifying record Hamilton and Alonso are on the attack
Both drivers however admit that the performance order this weekend is extremely hard to predict
ldquoItrsquos going to be a completely
different challenge this weekendrdquo says Hamilton
ldquoThe weather conditions will be much hotter than they were at the lsquoRing and the nature of the circuit will be very different too
ldquoThe Hungaroring is a tight and twisty racetrack not dissimilar to Monaco in terms of downforce levels and it offers no let up for the drivers
ldquoThere wasnrsquot much between McLaren Ferrari and Red Bull in Germany Itrsquos going to be fascinating to see which team holds the advantagerdquo
Increased temperatures will certainly suit the Ferraris which have struggled for tyre warm-up this season
Alonso has scored the more
points than anyone over the last three races but is also cautious when making predictions
ldquoWe have made up a lot of ground compared to the very early part of the season in terms of performance but we must take a further step forwardrdquo says the double World Champion
ldquoWe still lack something especially in qualifying Itrsquos true that in the race we can make up for this but itrsquos not always possible to move up two places compared to our grid position as happened in Monaco Valencia Silverstone and Nurburgringrdquo
With a four-week mid-season break to come after Hungary bragging rights are well and truly on the line
Battle RoyaleRed Bull McLaren and Ferrari are locked in combat as the second half of the season kicks off

Round 2 ndash Malaysia
F rom time to time I get asked about the process we go through in order to bring you the coverage of each
and every Formula One race during the season
Essentially for me Irsquom not a producer but I really enjoy getting involved in a great many of the production aspects
During the week leading up to a race our team will sit down as a group and pick the key topics that we think are worth chasing We then start liaising with the relevant people for the weekend whether itrsquos (on the ground correspondents) James Allen or Tom Clarkson and get a mud map together of what wersquore looking for
Tom goes to every round and James doesnrsquot so it varies a bit as to who does what The boys are very good they donrsquot stick hard and fast to the plan they change it on the run depending on whatrsquos topical and what theyrsquove got Sometimes things on your wish list donrsquot come together you may want Fernando Alonso but the planets donrsquot align in terms of when yoursquove got camera time and things like that
Then yoursquove got other times when it works absolutely beautifully The amount of Tweets wersquove had from people about what Nikki Lauda has had to say when hersquos been on has been amazing People love his frankness
A key thing to remember with our telecasts is that essentially we are graphically disadvantaged Wersquod love to do what the BBC do and go to every round with a small army of people on hand to go and collate content What we did in Abu Dhabi with James and I (for the 2010 season finale) was a real high for me but itrsquos not possible to be doing that all the time so we do the best with the resources we have
James and Tom have been excellent for us James knows television very well obviously (having previously headed ITVrsquos Formula One coverage) and TC is essentially from a print background but he has come on in leaps and bounds this year
I enjoy getting my hands pretty heavily involved in what we do I canrsquot always promise that wersquoll get it right for everyone but itrsquos about walking that tight rope of catering for the hardcore viewers and those who are completely new to it Our ratings indicate that the success of Mark Webber and the variety and excitement wersquove had in Formula One of late has grown and changed the audience Wersquove had to adapt to that
Of course the whole thing is made possible by the tremendous group of people behind the scenes Our overseeing producer is a guy called Michael Heaton who has a long motorsport background in this country
two wheels and four The nuts and bolts producer on race weekends Nina Harlan has been around since the Channel 9 days with Alan Jones and Darrell Eastlake so shersquos got a long history with the sport as well
As far as my on-air colleagues go Daz (Darryl Beattie) and I have known one another for over a decade and hersquos become like a brother I think that sort of repour is something that you canrsquot create it really has to be genuinely there Bairdo (Craig Baird) has slotted into the mix so easily for very similar reasons Wersquove been dealing with one another through Super Tourers and V8 Supercars since 1997 when he was a stand by driver for the Diet Coke BMW team
When the management at Ten decided to make the telecasts a mix of a BBQ style conversation with the good stuff from on the ground sprinkled in between it wasnrsquot something that we had to think twice about
At the end of the day we donrsquot always get it right but wersquore constantly thinking of ways to do things better I really think itrsquos critical to have that attitude

RED BULL RACING THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYBy Sebastian Vettelrsquos standards
fourth place at the Nurburgring was a disaster
Missing the front-row of the grid for the first time all season spinning wildly in the opening stint and suffering an unexplained brake issue contrived to keep the rapid German off the podium
Donrsquot expect a repeat this weekend however with Red Bull returning to a track where it dominated last year
In 2010 Vettelrsquos pole time was 12s faster than Ferrarirsquos best effort
While a front-row lockout wonrsquot guarantee a one-two finish with the Super Soft and Soft tyres on such an abrasive surface it wonrsquot hurt either

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYOff throttle diffuser blowing
returned in Germany and so did McLaren
After a dismal showing at the British Grand Prix particularly in qualifying Hamilton took his second win of the season at the Nurburgring thanks to a mix of speed race craft and strategy
This weekend is one of milestones at McLaren with the 24 litre Mercedes engine celebrating its 100th race and Button enjoying his 200th Grand Prix start
The 2009 World Champion will need a change of luck if he is to remember this race fondly however after mechanical failures in the last two races
Hamilton is a genuine chance

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile Red Bull has been quick
on every circuit this year taking all 10 pole positions Ferrarirsquos form has - like that of McLaren - been more difficult to predict
Alonso only narrowly lost out on victory in Germany - emerging from the second round of stops with the lead before finding himself on the wrong side of a brilliant manoeuvre by Hamilton
Tyre warm-up has hampered the F150th Italia this season but will not be such an issue this weekend thanks to the higher ambient
Alonso is an outside chance for the win providing the teamrsquos trick new wheel nuts donrsquot prove the problem they did for Massa in Germany

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYMercedes GP looks set to
continue its trend of plugging away in the back half of the top 10 this weekend
The team has a long way to go before it can be considered a threat to Red Bull McLaren or Ferrari but has steadily eased away from Renault in recent races
With fourth place in the Constructorsrsquo Championship the teamrsquos only achievable target more points this weekend will be a solid result
Schumacher will hope to have a rare trouble-free race after incidents in Europe (collision with Petrov) Britain (collision with Kobayashi) and Germany (solo spin) Expect Rosberg to once again be faster and more consistent than his team-mate

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile the Renault R31s
campaigned at the Nurburgring proved far more competitive than those seen two weeks earlier at Silverstone - particularly in qualifying - a single point was hardly a strong outcome
Renault continued to race with its forward facing exhaust package on both cars in Germany despite trialling its rearward facing solution in practice Balance issues may see the team again refrain from racing the new design this weekend
The Hungaroring will see Bruno Senna take the wheel of Heidfeldrsquos car in Practice 1 as speculation continues to mount over the Germanrsquos future
Torquey Renault engine should help secure more points this weekend

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWIlliams struggled badly with
tyre degradation last weekend in Germany - a fact that does not bode well heading to the highly abrasive high-temperature Hungaroring
Adding the Super Soft tyre into the mix this weekend is likely to compound matters further
The team will try a revised version of the rear wing it practised with last weekend - abandoning it before the race due to structural issues
KERS also remains a question mark with Barrichello having raced without it in order to access its impact on tyre wear
Points will be a stretch

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAdrian Sutil enjoyed his
strongest race of the season at the Nurburgring - qualifying eighth and finishing sixth
The final result was a mixture of speed and strategy however with Sutil the only driver to finish in the points having stopped just twice
The strategy allowed Sutil to finish ahead of Rosbergrsquos Mercedes despite being almost a full second slower than his fellow German in qualifying
Di Resta will be extra keen to return to the points prior to the mid-season break having failed to record a top 10 finish since Malaysia

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYExpect the Toro Rosso drivers
to be up to their usual trick this weekend in Hungary - qualifying at the back of the Q2 pack before moving forward in the race armed with an extra set of brand new soft tyres
The strategy has been continually employed by the team over recent races and may work wonders if tyre wear is as heavy as expected in Budapest

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYSanity has been restored at Team
Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAll eyes were on Ricciardo in
Q1 at the Nurburgring and the Australian didnrsquot disappoint
In just his second Formula One qualifying session the West Aussie was within 0025s of the experienced Liuzzi and will again challenge the Italian strongly this weekend
The teamrsquos real target must remain Virgin Racing however having fallen behind its fellow second-year squad in recent races

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYVirgin Racing enjoyed its best
moment of the season on Sunday at the Nurburgring - with lead driver Timo Glock resigning for another three years prior to the race
The fast and experienced German is arguably the teamrsquos biggest asset and will play a crucial role in the teamrsquos plans to move up the pecking order
With a noticeable step forward again unlikely to occur this weekend the teamrsquos target will once again involve running between Team Lotus and Hispania

COVER STORY
By contrast to the early season dominance of Sebastian Vettel and Red
Bull Racing the Formula One circus heads to Hungary this weekend having seen four different winners in the last four races
Excitingly for Formula One fans the German Grand Prix marked the first time all season that McLaren and Ferrari both challenged Red Bull in the same race
The final result was Lewis Hamilton first and Fernando Alonso second with the RB6 mounted duo Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel third and fourth
Vettelrsquos remarkable start to the year came to an end - failing to start and finish among the top two for the first time since the year season kicked off in March at Albert Park
While Red Bull enters the Budapest weekend looking to maintain its unbeaten 2011 qualifying record Hamilton and Alonso are on the attack
Both drivers however admit that the performance order this weekend is extremely hard to predict
ldquoItrsquos going to be a completely
different challenge this weekendrdquo says Hamilton
ldquoThe weather conditions will be much hotter than they were at the lsquoRing and the nature of the circuit will be very different too
ldquoThe Hungaroring is a tight and twisty racetrack not dissimilar to Monaco in terms of downforce levels and it offers no let up for the drivers
ldquoThere wasnrsquot much between McLaren Ferrari and Red Bull in Germany Itrsquos going to be fascinating to see which team holds the advantagerdquo
Increased temperatures will certainly suit the Ferraris which have struggled for tyre warm-up this season
Alonso has scored the more
points than anyone over the last three races but is also cautious when making predictions
ldquoWe have made up a lot of ground compared to the very early part of the season in terms of performance but we must take a further step forwardrdquo says the double World Champion
ldquoWe still lack something especially in qualifying Itrsquos true that in the race we can make up for this but itrsquos not always possible to move up two places compared to our grid position as happened in Monaco Valencia Silverstone and Nurburgringrdquo
With a four-week mid-season break to come after Hungary bragging rights are well and truly on the line
Battle RoyaleRed Bull McLaren and Ferrari are locked in combat as the second half of the season kicks off

Round 2 ndash Malaysia
F rom time to time I get asked about the process we go through in order to bring you the coverage of each
and every Formula One race during the season
Essentially for me Irsquom not a producer but I really enjoy getting involved in a great many of the production aspects
During the week leading up to a race our team will sit down as a group and pick the key topics that we think are worth chasing We then start liaising with the relevant people for the weekend whether itrsquos (on the ground correspondents) James Allen or Tom Clarkson and get a mud map together of what wersquore looking for
Tom goes to every round and James doesnrsquot so it varies a bit as to who does what The boys are very good they donrsquot stick hard and fast to the plan they change it on the run depending on whatrsquos topical and what theyrsquove got Sometimes things on your wish list donrsquot come together you may want Fernando Alonso but the planets donrsquot align in terms of when yoursquove got camera time and things like that
Then yoursquove got other times when it works absolutely beautifully The amount of Tweets wersquove had from people about what Nikki Lauda has had to say when hersquos been on has been amazing People love his frankness
A key thing to remember with our telecasts is that essentially we are graphically disadvantaged Wersquod love to do what the BBC do and go to every round with a small army of people on hand to go and collate content What we did in Abu Dhabi with James and I (for the 2010 season finale) was a real high for me but itrsquos not possible to be doing that all the time so we do the best with the resources we have
James and Tom have been excellent for us James knows television very well obviously (having previously headed ITVrsquos Formula One coverage) and TC is essentially from a print background but he has come on in leaps and bounds this year
I enjoy getting my hands pretty heavily involved in what we do I canrsquot always promise that wersquoll get it right for everyone but itrsquos about walking that tight rope of catering for the hardcore viewers and those who are completely new to it Our ratings indicate that the success of Mark Webber and the variety and excitement wersquove had in Formula One of late has grown and changed the audience Wersquove had to adapt to that
Of course the whole thing is made possible by the tremendous group of people behind the scenes Our overseeing producer is a guy called Michael Heaton who has a long motorsport background in this country
two wheels and four The nuts and bolts producer on race weekends Nina Harlan has been around since the Channel 9 days with Alan Jones and Darrell Eastlake so shersquos got a long history with the sport as well
As far as my on-air colleagues go Daz (Darryl Beattie) and I have known one another for over a decade and hersquos become like a brother I think that sort of repour is something that you canrsquot create it really has to be genuinely there Bairdo (Craig Baird) has slotted into the mix so easily for very similar reasons Wersquove been dealing with one another through Super Tourers and V8 Supercars since 1997 when he was a stand by driver for the Diet Coke BMW team
When the management at Ten decided to make the telecasts a mix of a BBQ style conversation with the good stuff from on the ground sprinkled in between it wasnrsquot something that we had to think twice about
At the end of the day we donrsquot always get it right but wersquore constantly thinking of ways to do things better I really think itrsquos critical to have that attitude

RED BULL RACING THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYBy Sebastian Vettelrsquos standards
fourth place at the Nurburgring was a disaster
Missing the front-row of the grid for the first time all season spinning wildly in the opening stint and suffering an unexplained brake issue contrived to keep the rapid German off the podium
Donrsquot expect a repeat this weekend however with Red Bull returning to a track where it dominated last year
In 2010 Vettelrsquos pole time was 12s faster than Ferrarirsquos best effort
While a front-row lockout wonrsquot guarantee a one-two finish with the Super Soft and Soft tyres on such an abrasive surface it wonrsquot hurt either

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYOff throttle diffuser blowing
returned in Germany and so did McLaren
After a dismal showing at the British Grand Prix particularly in qualifying Hamilton took his second win of the season at the Nurburgring thanks to a mix of speed race craft and strategy
This weekend is one of milestones at McLaren with the 24 litre Mercedes engine celebrating its 100th race and Button enjoying his 200th Grand Prix start
The 2009 World Champion will need a change of luck if he is to remember this race fondly however after mechanical failures in the last two races
Hamilton is a genuine chance

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile Red Bull has been quick
on every circuit this year taking all 10 pole positions Ferrarirsquos form has - like that of McLaren - been more difficult to predict
Alonso only narrowly lost out on victory in Germany - emerging from the second round of stops with the lead before finding himself on the wrong side of a brilliant manoeuvre by Hamilton
Tyre warm-up has hampered the F150th Italia this season but will not be such an issue this weekend thanks to the higher ambient
Alonso is an outside chance for the win providing the teamrsquos trick new wheel nuts donrsquot prove the problem they did for Massa in Germany

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYMercedes GP looks set to
continue its trend of plugging away in the back half of the top 10 this weekend
The team has a long way to go before it can be considered a threat to Red Bull McLaren or Ferrari but has steadily eased away from Renault in recent races
With fourth place in the Constructorsrsquo Championship the teamrsquos only achievable target more points this weekend will be a solid result
Schumacher will hope to have a rare trouble-free race after incidents in Europe (collision with Petrov) Britain (collision with Kobayashi) and Germany (solo spin) Expect Rosberg to once again be faster and more consistent than his team-mate

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile the Renault R31s
campaigned at the Nurburgring proved far more competitive than those seen two weeks earlier at Silverstone - particularly in qualifying - a single point was hardly a strong outcome
Renault continued to race with its forward facing exhaust package on both cars in Germany despite trialling its rearward facing solution in practice Balance issues may see the team again refrain from racing the new design this weekend
The Hungaroring will see Bruno Senna take the wheel of Heidfeldrsquos car in Practice 1 as speculation continues to mount over the Germanrsquos future
Torquey Renault engine should help secure more points this weekend

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWIlliams struggled badly with
tyre degradation last weekend in Germany - a fact that does not bode well heading to the highly abrasive high-temperature Hungaroring
Adding the Super Soft tyre into the mix this weekend is likely to compound matters further
The team will try a revised version of the rear wing it practised with last weekend - abandoning it before the race due to structural issues
KERS also remains a question mark with Barrichello having raced without it in order to access its impact on tyre wear
Points will be a stretch

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAdrian Sutil enjoyed his
strongest race of the season at the Nurburgring - qualifying eighth and finishing sixth
The final result was a mixture of speed and strategy however with Sutil the only driver to finish in the points having stopped just twice
The strategy allowed Sutil to finish ahead of Rosbergrsquos Mercedes despite being almost a full second slower than his fellow German in qualifying
Di Resta will be extra keen to return to the points prior to the mid-season break having failed to record a top 10 finish since Malaysia

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYThe Sauber C30 has time and
again shown its tyre preserving prowess this season meaning the Swiss team will head to the Hungaroring confident of another points finish
Kobayashi stormed through the field at the Nurburgring finishing ninth after an embarrassing Q1 exit on Saturday that saw him start18th
For Perez returning to Budapest will bring back memories of his disastrous 2010 weekend at the circuit The Mexican crashed out of Sundayrsquos GP2 event - severely damaging his title chances

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYExpect the Toro Rosso drivers
to be up to their usual trick this weekend in Hungary - qualifying at the back of the Q2 pack before moving forward in the race armed with an extra set of brand new soft tyres
The strategy has been continually employed by the team over recent races and may work wonders if tyre wear is as heavy as expected in Budapest
Buemirsquos chance at points in Germany evaporated thanks to an awkward early race collision with Heidfeldrsquos Renault while Alguersuari was unable to make it four points finishes in a row coming home 12th

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYSanity has been restored at Team
Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely

moment of the season on Sunday at the Nurburgring - with lead driver Timo Glock resigning for another three years prior to the race
The fast and experienced German is arguably the teamrsquos biggest asset and will play a crucial role in the teamrsquos plans to move up the pecking order
With a noticeable step forward again unlikely to occur this weekend the teamrsquos target will once again involve running between Team Lotus and Hispania

Round 2 ndash Malaysia
F rom time to time I get asked about the process we go through in order to bring you the coverage of each
and every Formula One race during the season
Essentially for me Irsquom not a producer but I really enjoy getting involved in a great many of the production aspects
During the week leading up to a race our team will sit down as a group and pick the key topics that we think are worth chasing We then start liaising with the relevant people for the weekend whether itrsquos (on the ground correspondents) James Allen or Tom Clarkson and get a mud map together of what wersquore looking for
Tom goes to every round and James doesnrsquot so it varies a bit as to who does what The boys are very good they donrsquot stick hard and fast to the plan they change it on the run depending on whatrsquos topical and what theyrsquove got Sometimes things on your wish list donrsquot come together you may want Fernando Alonso but the planets donrsquot align in terms of when yoursquove got camera time and things like that
Then yoursquove got other times when it works absolutely beautifully The amount of Tweets wersquove had from people about what Nikki Lauda has had to say when hersquos been on has been amazing People love his frankness
A key thing to remember with our telecasts is that essentially we are graphically disadvantaged Wersquod love to do what the BBC do and go to every round with a small army of people on hand to go and collate content What we did in Abu Dhabi with James and I (for the 2010 season finale) was a real high for me but itrsquos not possible to be doing that all the time so we do the best with the resources we have
James and Tom have been excellent for us James knows television very well obviously (having previously headed ITVrsquos Formula One coverage) and TC is essentially from a print background but he has come on in leaps and bounds this year
I enjoy getting my hands pretty heavily involved in what we do I canrsquot always promise that wersquoll get it right for everyone but itrsquos about walking that tight rope of catering for the hardcore viewers and those who are completely new to it Our ratings indicate that the success of Mark Webber and the variety and excitement wersquove had in Formula One of late has grown and changed the audience Wersquove had to adapt to that
Of course the whole thing is made possible by the tremendous group of people behind the scenes Our overseeing producer is a guy called Michael Heaton who has a long motorsport background in this country
two wheels and four The nuts and bolts producer on race weekends Nina Harlan has been around since the Channel 9 days with Alan Jones and Darrell Eastlake so shersquos got a long history with the sport as well
As far as my on-air colleagues go Daz (Darryl Beattie) and I have known one another for over a decade and hersquos become like a brother I think that sort of repour is something that you canrsquot create it really has to be genuinely there Bairdo (Craig Baird) has slotted into the mix so easily for very similar reasons Wersquove been dealing with one another through Super Tourers and V8 Supercars since 1997 when he was a stand by driver for the Diet Coke BMW team
When the management at Ten decided to make the telecasts a mix of a BBQ style conversation with the good stuff from on the ground sprinkled in between it wasnrsquot something that we had to think twice about
At the end of the day we donrsquot always get it right but wersquore constantly thinking of ways to do things better I really think itrsquos critical to have that attitude

RED BULL RACING THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYBy Sebastian Vettelrsquos standards
fourth place at the Nurburgring was a disaster
Missing the front-row of the grid for the first time all season spinning wildly in the opening stint and suffering an unexplained brake issue contrived to keep the rapid German off the podium
Donrsquot expect a repeat this weekend however with Red Bull returning to a track where it dominated last year
In 2010 Vettelrsquos pole time was 12s faster than Ferrarirsquos best effort
While a front-row lockout wonrsquot guarantee a one-two finish with the Super Soft and Soft tyres on such an abrasive surface it wonrsquot hurt either

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYOff throttle diffuser blowing
returned in Germany and so did McLaren
After a dismal showing at the British Grand Prix particularly in qualifying Hamilton took his second win of the season at the Nurburgring thanks to a mix of speed race craft and strategy
This weekend is one of milestones at McLaren with the 24 litre Mercedes engine celebrating its 100th race and Button enjoying his 200th Grand Prix start
The 2009 World Champion will need a change of luck if he is to remember this race fondly however after mechanical failures in the last two races
Hamilton is a genuine chance

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile Red Bull has been quick
on every circuit this year taking all 10 pole positions Ferrarirsquos form has - like that of McLaren - been more difficult to predict
Alonso only narrowly lost out on victory in Germany - emerging from the second round of stops with the lead before finding himself on the wrong side of a brilliant manoeuvre by Hamilton
Tyre warm-up has hampered the F150th Italia this season but will not be such an issue this weekend thanks to the higher ambient
Alonso is an outside chance for the win providing the teamrsquos trick new wheel nuts donrsquot prove the problem they did for Massa in Germany

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYMercedes GP looks set to
continue its trend of plugging away in the back half of the top 10 this weekend
The team has a long way to go before it can be considered a threat to Red Bull McLaren or Ferrari but has steadily eased away from Renault in recent races
With fourth place in the Constructorsrsquo Championship the teamrsquos only achievable target more points this weekend will be a solid result
Schumacher will hope to have a rare trouble-free race after incidents in Europe (collision with Petrov) Britain (collision with Kobayashi) and Germany (solo spin) Expect Rosberg to once again be faster and more consistent than his team-mate

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile the Renault R31s
campaigned at the Nurburgring proved far more competitive than those seen two weeks earlier at Silverstone - particularly in qualifying - a single point was hardly a strong outcome
Renault continued to race with its forward facing exhaust package on both cars in Germany despite trialling its rearward facing solution in practice Balance issues may see the team again refrain from racing the new design this weekend
The Hungaroring will see Bruno Senna take the wheel of Heidfeldrsquos car in Practice 1 as speculation continues to mount over the Germanrsquos future
Torquey Renault engine should help secure more points this weekend

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWIlliams struggled badly with
tyre degradation last weekend in Germany - a fact that does not bode well heading to the highly abrasive high-temperature Hungaroring
Adding the Super Soft tyre into the mix this weekend is likely to compound matters further
The team will try a revised version of the rear wing it practised with last weekend - abandoning it before the race due to structural issues
KERS also remains a question mark with Barrichello having raced without it in order to access its impact on tyre wear
Points will be a stretch

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAdrian Sutil enjoyed his
strongest race of the season at the Nurburgring - qualifying eighth and finishing sixth
The final result was a mixture of speed and strategy however with Sutil the only driver to finish in the points having stopped just twice
The strategy allowed Sutil to finish ahead of Rosbergrsquos Mercedes despite being almost a full second slower than his fellow German in qualifying
Di Resta will be extra keen to return to the points prior to the mid-season break having failed to record a top 10 finish since Malaysia

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYExpect the Toro Rosso drivers
to be up to their usual trick this weekend in Hungary - qualifying at the back of the Q2 pack before moving forward in the race armed with an extra set of brand new soft tyres
The strategy has been continually employed by the team over recent races and may work wonders if tyre wear is as heavy as expected in Budapest

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYSanity has been restored at Team
Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAll eyes were on Ricciardo in
Q1 at the Nurburgring and the Australian didnrsquot disappoint
In just his second Formula One qualifying session the West Aussie was within 0025s of the experienced Liuzzi and will again challenge the Italian strongly this weekend
The teamrsquos real target must remain Virgin Racing however having fallen behind its fellow second-year squad in recent races

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYVirgin Racing enjoyed its best
moment of the season on Sunday at the Nurburgring - with lead driver Timo Glock resigning for another three years prior to the race
The fast and experienced German is arguably the teamrsquos biggest asset and will play a crucial role in the teamrsquos plans to move up the pecking order
With a noticeable step forward again unlikely to occur this weekend the teamrsquos target will once again involve running between Team Lotus and Hispania

Round 2 ndash Malaysia
F rom time to time I get asked about the process we go through in order to bring you the coverage of each
and every Formula One race during the season
Essentially for me Irsquom not a producer but I really enjoy getting involved in a great many of the production aspects
During the week leading up to a race our team will sit down as a group and pick the key topics that we think are worth chasing We then start liaising with the relevant people for the weekend whether itrsquos (on the ground correspondents) James Allen or Tom Clarkson and get a mud map together of what wersquore looking for
Tom goes to every round and James doesnrsquot so it varies a bit as to who does what The boys are very good they donrsquot stick hard and fast to the plan they change it on the run depending on whatrsquos topical and what theyrsquove got Sometimes things on your wish list donrsquot come together you may want Fernando Alonso but the planets donrsquot align in terms of when yoursquove got camera time and things like that
Then yoursquove got other times when it works absolutely beautifully The amount of Tweets wersquove had from people about what Nikki Lauda has had to say when hersquos been on has been amazing People love his frankness
A key thing to remember with our telecasts is that essentially we are graphically disadvantaged Wersquod love to do what the BBC do and go to every round with a small army of people on hand to go and collate content What we did in Abu Dhabi with James and I (for the 2010 season finale) was a real high for me but itrsquos not possible to be doing that all the time so we do the best with the resources we have
James and Tom have been excellent for us James knows television very well obviously (having previously headed ITVrsquos Formula One coverage) and TC is essentially from a print background but he has come on in leaps and bounds this year
I enjoy getting my hands pretty heavily involved in what we do I canrsquot always promise that wersquoll get it right for everyone but itrsquos about walking that tight rope of catering for the hardcore viewers and those who are completely new to it Our ratings indicate that the success of Mark Webber and the variety and excitement wersquove had in Formula One of late has grown and changed the audience Wersquove had to adapt to that
Of course the whole thing is made possible by the tremendous group of people behind the scenes Our overseeing producer is a guy called Michael Heaton who has a long motorsport background in this country
two wheels and four The nuts and bolts producer on race weekends Nina Harlan has been around since the Channel 9 days with Alan Jones and Darrell Eastlake so shersquos got a long history with the sport as well
As far as my on-air colleagues go Daz (Darryl Beattie) and I have known one another for over a decade and hersquos become like a brother I think that sort of repour is something that you canrsquot create it really has to be genuinely there Bairdo (Craig Baird) has slotted into the mix so easily for very similar reasons Wersquove been dealing with one another through Super Tourers and V8 Supercars since 1997 when he was a stand by driver for the Diet Coke BMW team
When the management at Ten decided to make the telecasts a mix of a BBQ style conversation with the good stuff from on the ground sprinkled in between it wasnrsquot something that we had to think twice about
At the end of the day we donrsquot always get it right but wersquore constantly thinking of ways to do things better I really think itrsquos critical to have that attitude

RED BULL RACING THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYBy Sebastian Vettelrsquos standards
fourth place at the Nurburgring was a disaster
Missing the front-row of the grid for the first time all season spinning wildly in the opening stint and suffering an unexplained brake issue contrived to keep the rapid German off the podium
Donrsquot expect a repeat this weekend however with Red Bull returning to a track where it dominated last year
In 2010 Vettelrsquos pole time was 12s faster than Ferrarirsquos best effort
While a front-row lockout wonrsquot guarantee a one-two finish with the Super Soft and Soft tyres on such an abrasive surface it wonrsquot hurt either

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYOff throttle diffuser blowing
returned in Germany and so did McLaren
After a dismal showing at the British Grand Prix particularly in qualifying Hamilton took his second win of the season at the Nurburgring thanks to a mix of speed race craft and strategy
This weekend is one of milestones at McLaren with the 24 litre Mercedes engine celebrating its 100th race and Button enjoying his 200th Grand Prix start
The 2009 World Champion will need a change of luck if he is to remember this race fondly however after mechanical failures in the last two races
Hamilton is a genuine chance

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile Red Bull has been quick
on every circuit this year taking all 10 pole positions Ferrarirsquos form has - like that of McLaren - been more difficult to predict
Alonso only narrowly lost out on victory in Germany - emerging from the second round of stops with the lead before finding himself on the wrong side of a brilliant manoeuvre by Hamilton
Tyre warm-up has hampered the F150th Italia this season but will not be such an issue this weekend thanks to the higher ambient
Alonso is an outside chance for the win providing the teamrsquos trick new wheel nuts donrsquot prove the problem they did for Massa in Germany

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYMercedes GP looks set to
continue its trend of plugging away in the back half of the top 10 this weekend
The team has a long way to go before it can be considered a threat to Red Bull McLaren or Ferrari but has steadily eased away from Renault in recent races
With fourth place in the Constructorsrsquo Championship the teamrsquos only achievable target more points this weekend will be a solid result
Schumacher will hope to have a rare trouble-free race after incidents in Europe (collision with Petrov) Britain (collision with Kobayashi) and Germany (solo spin) Expect Rosberg to once again be faster and more consistent than his team-mate

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile the Renault R31s
campaigned at the Nurburgring proved far more competitive than those seen two weeks earlier at Silverstone - particularly in qualifying - a single point was hardly a strong outcome
Renault continued to race with its forward facing exhaust package on both cars in Germany despite trialling its rearward facing solution in practice Balance issues may see the team again refrain from racing the new design this weekend
The Hungaroring will see Bruno Senna take the wheel of Heidfeldrsquos car in Practice 1 as speculation continues to mount over the Germanrsquos future
Torquey Renault engine should help secure more points this weekend

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWIlliams struggled badly with
tyre degradation last weekend in Germany - a fact that does not bode well heading to the highly abrasive high-temperature Hungaroring
Adding the Super Soft tyre into the mix this weekend is likely to compound matters further
The team will try a revised version of the rear wing it practised with last weekend - abandoning it before the race due to structural issues
KERS also remains a question mark with Barrichello having raced without it in order to access its impact on tyre wear
Points will be a stretch

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAdrian Sutil enjoyed his
strongest race of the season at the Nurburgring - qualifying eighth and finishing sixth
The final result was a mixture of speed and strategy however with Sutil the only driver to finish in the points having stopped just twice
The strategy allowed Sutil to finish ahead of Rosbergrsquos Mercedes despite being almost a full second slower than his fellow German in qualifying
Di Resta will be extra keen to return to the points prior to the mid-season break having failed to record a top 10 finish since Malaysia

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYThe Sauber C30 has time and
again shown its tyre preserving prowess this season meaning the Swiss team will head to the Hungaroring confident of another points finish
Kobayashi stormed through the field at the Nurburgring finishing ninth after an embarrassing Q1 exit on Saturday that saw him start18th
For Perez returning to Budapest will bring back memories of his disastrous 2010 weekend at the circuit The Mexican crashed out of Sundayrsquos GP2 event - severely damaging his title chances

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYExpect the Toro Rosso drivers
to be up to their usual trick this weekend in Hungary - qualifying at the back of the Q2 pack before moving forward in the race armed with an extra set of brand new soft tyres
The strategy has been continually employed by the team over recent races and may work wonders if tyre wear is as heavy as expected in Budapest
Buemirsquos chance at points in Germany evaporated thanks to an awkward early race collision with Heidfeldrsquos Renault while Alguersuari was unable to make it four points finishes in a row coming home 12th

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYSanity has been restored at Team
Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely

Q1 at the Nurburgring and the Australian didnrsquot disappoint
In just his second Formula One qualifying session the West Aussie was within 0025s of the experienced Liuzzi and will again challenge the Italian strongly this weekend

moment of the season on Sunday at the Nurburgring - with lead driver Timo Glock resigning for another three years prior to the race
The fast and experienced German is arguably the teamrsquos biggest asset and will play a crucial role in the teamrsquos plans to move up the pecking order
With a noticeable step forward again unlikely to occur this weekend the teamrsquos target will once again involve running between Team Lotus and Hispania

F rom time to time I get asked about the process we go through in order to bring you the coverage of each
and every Formula One race during the season
Essentially for me Irsquom not a producer but I really enjoy getting involved in a great many of the production aspects
During the week leading up to a race our team will sit down as a group and pick the key topics that we think are worth chasing We then start liaising with the relevant people for the weekend whether itrsquos (on the ground correspondents) James Allen or Tom Clarkson and get a mud map together of what wersquore looking for
Tom goes to every round and James doesnrsquot so it varies a bit as to who does what The boys are very good they donrsquot stick hard and fast to the plan they change it on the run depending on whatrsquos topical and what theyrsquove got Sometimes things on your wish list donrsquot come together you may want Fernando Alonso but the planets donrsquot align in terms of when yoursquove got camera time and things like that
Then yoursquove got other times when it works absolutely beautifully The amount of Tweets wersquove had from people about what Nikki Lauda has had to say when hersquos been on has been amazing People love his frankness
A key thing to remember with our telecasts is that essentially we are graphically disadvantaged Wersquod love to do what the BBC do and go to every round with a small army of people on hand to go and collate content What we did in Abu Dhabi with James and I (for the 2010 season finale) was a real high for me but itrsquos not possible to be doing that all the time so we do the best with the resources we have
James and Tom have been excellent for us James knows television very well obviously (having previously headed ITVrsquos Formula One coverage) and TC is essentially from a print background but he has come on in leaps and bounds this year
I enjoy getting my hands pretty heavily involved in what we do I canrsquot always promise that wersquoll get it right for everyone but itrsquos about walking that tight rope of catering for the hardcore viewers and those who are completely new to it Our ratings indicate that the success of Mark Webber and the variety and excitement wersquove had in Formula One of late has grown and changed the audience Wersquove had to adapt to that
Of course the whole thing is made possible by the tremendous group of people behind the scenes Our overseeing producer is a guy called Michael Heaton who has a long motorsport background in this country
two wheels and four The nuts and bolts producer on race weekends Nina Harlan has been around since the Channel 9 days with Alan Jones and Darrell Eastlake so shersquos got a long history with the sport as well
As far as my on-air colleagues go Daz (Darryl Beattie) and I have known one another for over a decade and hersquos become like a brother I think that sort of repour is something that you canrsquot create it really has to be genuinely there Bairdo (Craig Baird) has slotted into the mix so easily for very similar reasons Wersquove been dealing with one another through Super Tourers and V8 Supercars since 1997 when he was a stand by driver for the Diet Coke BMW team
When the management at Ten decided to make the telecasts a mix of a BBQ style conversation with the good stuff from on the ground sprinkled in between it wasnrsquot something that we had to think twice about
At the end of the day we donrsquot always get it right but wersquore constantly thinking of ways to do things better I really think itrsquos critical to have that attitude

RED BULL RACING THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYBy Sebastian Vettelrsquos standards
fourth place at the Nurburgring was a disaster
Missing the front-row of the grid for the first time all season spinning wildly in the opening stint and suffering an unexplained brake issue contrived to keep the rapid German off the podium
Donrsquot expect a repeat this weekend however with Red Bull returning to a track where it dominated last year
In 2010 Vettelrsquos pole time was 12s faster than Ferrarirsquos best effort
While a front-row lockout wonrsquot guarantee a one-two finish with the Super Soft and Soft tyres on such an abrasive surface it wonrsquot hurt either

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYOff throttle diffuser blowing
returned in Germany and so did McLaren
After a dismal showing at the British Grand Prix particularly in qualifying Hamilton took his second win of the season at the Nurburgring thanks to a mix of speed race craft and strategy
This weekend is one of milestones at McLaren with the 24 litre Mercedes engine celebrating its 100th race and Button enjoying his 200th Grand Prix start
The 2009 World Champion will need a change of luck if he is to remember this race fondly however after mechanical failures in the last two races
Hamilton is a genuine chance

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile Red Bull has been quick
on every circuit this year taking all 10 pole positions Ferrarirsquos form has - like that of McLaren - been more difficult to predict
Alonso only narrowly lost out on victory in Germany - emerging from the second round of stops with the lead before finding himself on the wrong side of a brilliant manoeuvre by Hamilton
Tyre warm-up has hampered the F150th Italia this season but will not be such an issue this weekend thanks to the higher ambient
Alonso is an outside chance for the win providing the teamrsquos trick new wheel nuts donrsquot prove the problem they did for Massa in Germany

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYMercedes GP looks set to
continue its trend of plugging away in the back half of the top 10 this weekend
The team has a long way to go before it can be considered a threat to Red Bull McLaren or Ferrari but has steadily eased away from Renault in recent races
With fourth place in the Constructorsrsquo Championship the teamrsquos only achievable target more points this weekend will be a solid result
Schumacher will hope to have a rare trouble-free race after incidents in Europe (collision with Petrov) Britain (collision with Kobayashi) and Germany (solo spin) Expect Rosberg to once again be faster and more consistent than his team-mate

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile the Renault R31s
campaigned at the Nurburgring proved far more competitive than those seen two weeks earlier at Silverstone - particularly in qualifying - a single point was hardly a strong outcome
Renault continued to race with its forward facing exhaust package on both cars in Germany despite trialling its rearward facing solution in practice Balance issues may see the team again refrain from racing the new design this weekend
The Hungaroring will see Bruno Senna take the wheel of Heidfeldrsquos car in Practice 1 as speculation continues to mount over the Germanrsquos future
Torquey Renault engine should help secure more points this weekend

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWIlliams struggled badly with
tyre degradation last weekend in Germany - a fact that does not bode well heading to the highly abrasive high-temperature Hungaroring
Adding the Super Soft tyre into the mix this weekend is likely to compound matters further
The team will try a revised version of the rear wing it practised with last weekend - abandoning it before the race due to structural issues
KERS also remains a question mark with Barrichello having raced without it in order to access its impact on tyre wear
Points will be a stretch

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAdrian Sutil enjoyed his
strongest race of the season at the Nurburgring - qualifying eighth and finishing sixth
The final result was a mixture of speed and strategy however with Sutil the only driver to finish in the points having stopped just twice
The strategy allowed Sutil to finish ahead of Rosbergrsquos Mercedes despite being almost a full second slower than his fellow German in qualifying
Di Resta will be extra keen to return to the points prior to the mid-season break having failed to record a top 10 finish since Malaysia

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYExpect the Toro Rosso drivers
to be up to their usual trick this weekend in Hungary - qualifying at the back of the Q2 pack before moving forward in the race armed with an extra set of brand new soft tyres
The strategy has been continually employed by the team over recent races and may work wonders if tyre wear is as heavy as expected in Budapest

Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAll eyes were on Ricciardo in
Q1 at the Nurburgring and the Australian didnrsquot disappoint
In just his second Formula One qualifying session the West Aussie was within 0025s of the experienced Liuzzi and will again challenge the Italian strongly this weekend
The teamrsquos real target must remain Virgin Racing however having fallen behind its fellow second-year squad in recent races

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYVirgin Racing enjoyed its best
moment of the season on Sunday at the Nurburgring - with lead driver Timo Glock resigning for another three years prior to the race
The fast and experienced German is arguably the teamrsquos biggest asset and will play a crucial role in the teamrsquos plans to move up the pecking order
With a noticeable step forward again unlikely to occur this weekend the teamrsquos target will once again involve running between Team Lotus and Hispania

Round 2 ndash Malaysia
F rom time to time I get asked about the process we go through in order to bring you the coverage of each
and every Formula One race during the season
Essentially for me Irsquom not a producer but I really enjoy getting involved in a great many of the production aspects
During the week leading up to a race our team will sit down as a group and pick the key topics that we think are worth chasing We then start liaising with the relevant people for the weekend whether itrsquos (on the ground correspondents) James Allen or Tom Clarkson and get a mud map together of what wersquore looking for
Tom goes to every round and James doesnrsquot so it varies a bit as to who does what The boys are very good they donrsquot stick hard and fast to the plan they change it on the run depending on whatrsquos topical and what theyrsquove got Sometimes things on your wish list donrsquot come together you may want Fernando Alonso but the planets donrsquot align in terms of when yoursquove got camera time and things like that
Then yoursquove got other times when it works absolutely beautifully The amount of Tweets wersquove had from people about what Nikki Lauda has had to say when hersquos been on has been amazing People love his frankness
A key thing to remember with our telecasts is that essentially we are graphically disadvantaged Wersquod love to do what the BBC do and go to every round with a small army of people on hand to go and collate content What we did in Abu Dhabi with James and I (for the 2010 season finale) was a real high for me but itrsquos not possible to be doing that all the time so we do the best with the resources we have
James and Tom have been excellent for us James knows television very well obviously (having previously headed ITVrsquos Formula One coverage) and TC is essentially from a print background but he has come on in leaps and bounds this year
I enjoy getting my hands pretty heavily involved in what we do I canrsquot always promise that wersquoll get it right for everyone but itrsquos about walking that tight rope of catering for the hardcore viewers and those who are completely new to it Our ratings indicate that the success of Mark Webber and the variety and excitement wersquove had in Formula One of late has grown and changed the audience Wersquove had to adapt to that
Of course the whole thing is made possible by the tremendous group of people behind the scenes Our overseeing producer is a guy called Michael Heaton who has a long motorsport background in this country
two wheels and four The nuts and bolts producer on race weekends Nina Harlan has been around since the Channel 9 days with Alan Jones and Darrell Eastlake so shersquos got a long history with the sport as well
As far as my on-air colleagues go Daz (Darryl Beattie) and I have known one another for over a decade and hersquos become like a brother I think that sort of repour is something that you canrsquot create it really has to be genuinely there Bairdo (Craig Baird) has slotted into the mix so easily for very similar reasons Wersquove been dealing with one another through Super Tourers and V8 Supercars since 1997 when he was a stand by driver for the Diet Coke BMW team
When the management at Ten decided to make the telecasts a mix of a BBQ style conversation with the good stuff from on the ground sprinkled in between it wasnrsquot something that we had to think twice about
At the end of the day we donrsquot always get it right but wersquore constantly thinking of ways to do things better I really think itrsquos critical to have that attitude

RED BULL RACING THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYBy Sebastian Vettelrsquos standards
fourth place at the Nurburgring was a disaster
Missing the front-row of the grid for the first time all season spinning wildly in the opening stint and suffering an unexplained brake issue contrived to keep the rapid German off the podium
Donrsquot expect a repeat this weekend however with Red Bull returning to a track where it dominated last year
In 2010 Vettelrsquos pole time was 12s faster than Ferrarirsquos best effort
While a front-row lockout wonrsquot guarantee a one-two finish with the Super Soft and Soft tyres on such an abrasive surface it wonrsquot hurt either

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYOff throttle diffuser blowing
returned in Germany and so did McLaren
After a dismal showing at the British Grand Prix particularly in qualifying Hamilton took his second win of the season at the Nurburgring thanks to a mix of speed race craft and strategy
This weekend is one of milestones at McLaren with the 24 litre Mercedes engine celebrating its 100th race and Button enjoying his 200th Grand Prix start
The 2009 World Champion will need a change of luck if he is to remember this race fondly however after mechanical failures in the last two races
Hamilton is a genuine chance

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile Red Bull has been quick
on every circuit this year taking all 10 pole positions Ferrarirsquos form has - like that of McLaren - been more difficult to predict
Alonso only narrowly lost out on victory in Germany - emerging from the second round of stops with the lead before finding himself on the wrong side of a brilliant manoeuvre by Hamilton
Tyre warm-up has hampered the F150th Italia this season but will not be such an issue this weekend thanks to the higher ambient
Alonso is an outside chance for the win providing the teamrsquos trick new wheel nuts donrsquot prove the problem they did for Massa in Germany

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYMercedes GP looks set to
continue its trend of plugging away in the back half of the top 10 this weekend
The team has a long way to go before it can be considered a threat to Red Bull McLaren or Ferrari but has steadily eased away from Renault in recent races
With fourth place in the Constructorsrsquo Championship the teamrsquos only achievable target more points this weekend will be a solid result
Schumacher will hope to have a rare trouble-free race after incidents in Europe (collision with Petrov) Britain (collision with Kobayashi) and Germany (solo spin) Expect Rosberg to once again be faster and more consistent than his team-mate

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile the Renault R31s
campaigned at the Nurburgring proved far more competitive than those seen two weeks earlier at Silverstone - particularly in qualifying - a single point was hardly a strong outcome
Renault continued to race with its forward facing exhaust package on both cars in Germany despite trialling its rearward facing solution in practice Balance issues may see the team again refrain from racing the new design this weekend
The Hungaroring will see Bruno Senna take the wheel of Heidfeldrsquos car in Practice 1 as speculation continues to mount over the Germanrsquos future
Torquey Renault engine should help secure more points this weekend

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWIlliams struggled badly with
tyre degradation last weekend in Germany - a fact that does not bode well heading to the highly abrasive high-temperature Hungaroring
Adding the Super Soft tyre into the mix this weekend is likely to compound matters further
The team will try a revised version of the rear wing it practised with last weekend - abandoning it before the race due to structural issues
KERS also remains a question mark with Barrichello having raced without it in order to access its impact on tyre wear
Points will be a stretch

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAdrian Sutil enjoyed his
strongest race of the season at the Nurburgring - qualifying eighth and finishing sixth
The final result was a mixture of speed and strategy however with Sutil the only driver to finish in the points having stopped just twice
The strategy allowed Sutil to finish ahead of Rosbergrsquos Mercedes despite being almost a full second slower than his fellow German in qualifying
Di Resta will be extra keen to return to the points prior to the mid-season break having failed to record a top 10 finish since Malaysia

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYThe Sauber C30 has time and
again shown its tyre preserving prowess this season meaning the Swiss team will head to the Hungaroring confident of another points finish
Kobayashi stormed through the field at the Nurburgring finishing ninth after an embarrassing Q1 exit on Saturday that saw him start18th

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYExpect the Toro Rosso drivers
to be up to their usual trick this weekend in Hungary - qualifying at the back of the Q2 pack before moving forward in the race armed with an extra set of brand new soft tyres
The strategy has been continually employed by the team over recent races and may work wonders if tyre wear is as heavy as expected in Budapest

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYSanity has been restored at Team
Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAll eyes were on Ricciardo in
Q1 at the Nurburgring and the Australian didnrsquot disappoint
In just his second Formula One qualifying session the West Aussie was within 0025s of the experienced Liuzzi and will again challenge the Italian strongly this weekend
The teamrsquos real target must remain Virgin Racing however having fallen behind its fellow second-year squad in recent races

moment of the season on Sunday at the Nurburgring - with lead driver Timo Glock resigning for another three years prior to the race
The fast and experienced German is arguably the teamrsquos biggest asset and will play a crucial role in the teamrsquos plans to move up the pecking order
With a noticeable step forward again unlikely to occur this weekend the teamrsquos target will once again involve running between Team Lotus and Hispania

Round 2 ndash Malaysia
F rom time to time I get asked about the process we go through in order to bring you the coverage of each
and every Formula One race during the season
Essentially for me Irsquom not a producer but I really enjoy getting involved in a great many of the production aspects
During the week leading up to a race our team will sit down as a group and pick the key topics that we think are worth chasing We then start liaising with the relevant people for the weekend whether itrsquos (on the ground correspondents) James Allen or Tom Clarkson and get a mud map together of what wersquore looking for
Tom goes to every round and James doesnrsquot so it varies a bit as to who does what The boys are very good they donrsquot stick hard and fast to the plan they change it on the run depending on whatrsquos topical and what theyrsquove got Sometimes things on your wish list donrsquot come together you may want Fernando Alonso but the planets donrsquot align in terms of when yoursquove got camera time and things like that
Then yoursquove got other times when it works absolutely beautifully The amount of Tweets wersquove had from people about what Nikki Lauda has had to say when hersquos been on has been amazing People love his frankness
A key thing to remember with our telecasts is that essentially we are graphically disadvantaged Wersquod love to do what the BBC do and go to every round with a small army of people on hand to go and collate content What we did in Abu Dhabi with James and I (for the 2010 season finale) was a real high for me but itrsquos not possible to be doing that all the time so we do the best with the resources we have
James and Tom have been excellent for us James knows television very well obviously (having previously headed ITVrsquos Formula One coverage) and TC is essentially from a print background but he has come on in leaps and bounds this year
I enjoy getting my hands pretty heavily involved in what we do I canrsquot always promise that wersquoll get it right for everyone but itrsquos about walking that tight rope of catering for the hardcore viewers and those who are completely new to it Our ratings indicate that the success of Mark Webber and the variety and excitement wersquove had in Formula One of late has grown and changed the audience Wersquove had to adapt to that
Of course the whole thing is made possible by the tremendous group of people behind the scenes Our overseeing producer is a guy called Michael Heaton who has a long motorsport background in this country
two wheels and four The nuts and bolts producer on race weekends Nina Harlan has been around since the Channel 9 days with Alan Jones and Darrell Eastlake so shersquos got a long history with the sport as well
As far as my on-air colleagues go Daz (Darryl Beattie) and I have known one another for over a decade and hersquos become like a brother I think that sort of repour is something that you canrsquot create it really has to be genuinely there Bairdo (Craig Baird) has slotted into the mix so easily for very similar reasons Wersquove been dealing with one another through Super Tourers and V8 Supercars since 1997 when he was a stand by driver for the Diet Coke BMW team
When the management at Ten decided to make the telecasts a mix of a BBQ style conversation with the good stuff from on the ground sprinkled in between it wasnrsquot something that we had to think twice about
At the end of the day we donrsquot always get it right but wersquore constantly thinking of ways to do things better I really think itrsquos critical to have that attitude

RED BULL RACING THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYBy Sebastian Vettelrsquos standards
fourth place at the Nurburgring was a disaster
Missing the front-row of the grid for the first time all season spinning wildly in the opening stint and suffering an unexplained brake issue contrived to keep the rapid German off the podium
Donrsquot expect a repeat this weekend however with Red Bull returning to a track where it dominated last year
In 2010 Vettelrsquos pole time was 12s faster than Ferrarirsquos best effort
While a front-row lockout wonrsquot guarantee a one-two finish with the Super Soft and Soft tyres on such an abrasive surface it wonrsquot hurt either

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYOff throttle diffuser blowing
returned in Germany and so did McLaren
After a dismal showing at the British Grand Prix particularly in qualifying Hamilton took his second win of the season at the Nurburgring thanks to a mix of speed race craft and strategy
This weekend is one of milestones at McLaren with the 24 litre Mercedes engine celebrating its 100th race and Button enjoying his 200th Grand Prix start
The 2009 World Champion will need a change of luck if he is to remember this race fondly however after mechanical failures in the last two races
Hamilton is a genuine chance

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile Red Bull has been quick
on every circuit this year taking all 10 pole positions Ferrarirsquos form has - like that of McLaren - been more difficult to predict
Alonso only narrowly lost out on victory in Germany - emerging from the second round of stops with the lead before finding himself on the wrong side of a brilliant manoeuvre by Hamilton
Tyre warm-up has hampered the F150th Italia this season but will not be such an issue this weekend thanks to the higher ambient
Alonso is an outside chance for the win providing the teamrsquos trick new wheel nuts donrsquot prove the problem they did for Massa in Germany

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYMercedes GP looks set to
continue its trend of plugging away in the back half of the top 10 this weekend
The team has a long way to go before it can be considered a threat to Red Bull McLaren or Ferrari but has steadily eased away from Renault in recent races
With fourth place in the Constructorsrsquo Championship the teamrsquos only achievable target more points this weekend will be a solid result
Schumacher will hope to have a rare trouble-free race after incidents in Europe (collision with Petrov) Britain (collision with Kobayashi) and Germany (solo spin) Expect Rosberg to once again be faster and more consistent than his team-mate

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile the Renault R31s
campaigned at the Nurburgring proved far more competitive than those seen two weeks earlier at Silverstone - particularly in qualifying - a single point was hardly a strong outcome
Renault continued to race with its forward facing exhaust package on both cars in Germany despite trialling its rearward facing solution in practice Balance issues may see the team again refrain from racing the new design this weekend
The Hungaroring will see Bruno Senna take the wheel of Heidfeldrsquos car in Practice 1 as speculation continues to mount over the Germanrsquos future
Torquey Renault engine should help secure more points this weekend

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWIlliams struggled badly with
tyre degradation last weekend in Germany - a fact that does not bode well heading to the highly abrasive high-temperature Hungaroring
Adding the Super Soft tyre into the mix this weekend is likely to compound matters further
The team will try a revised version of the rear wing it practised with last weekend - abandoning it before the race due to structural issues
KERS also remains a question mark with Barrichello having raced without it in order to access its impact on tyre wear
Points will be a stretch

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAdrian Sutil enjoyed his
strongest race of the season at the Nurburgring - qualifying eighth and finishing sixth
The final result was a mixture of speed and strategy however with Sutil the only driver to finish in the points having stopped just twice
The strategy allowed Sutil to finish ahead of Rosbergrsquos Mercedes despite being almost a full second slower than his fellow German in qualifying
Di Resta will be extra keen to return to the points prior to the mid-season break having failed to record a top 10 finish since Malaysia

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYExpect the Toro Rosso drivers
to be up to their usual trick this weekend in Hungary - qualifying at the back of the Q2 pack before moving forward in the race armed with an extra set of brand new soft tyres
The strategy has been continually employed by the team over recent races and may work wonders if tyre wear is as heavy as expected in Budapest
Buemirsquos chance at points in Germany evaporated thanks to an awkward early race collision with Heidfeldrsquos Renault while Alguersuari was unable to make it four points finishes in a row coming home 12th

Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYVirgin Racing enjoyed its best
moment of the season on Sunday at the Nurburgring - with lead driver Timo Glock resigning for another three years prior to the race
The fast and experienced German is arguably the teamrsquos biggest asset and will play a crucial role in the teamrsquos plans to move up the pecking order
With a noticeable step forward again unlikely to occur this weekend the teamrsquos target will once again involve running between Team Lotus and Hispania

Round 2 ndash Malaysia
F rom time to time I get asked about the process we go through in order to bring you the coverage of each
and every Formula One race during the season
Essentially for me Irsquom not a producer but I really enjoy getting involved in a great many of the production aspects
During the week leading up to a race our team will sit down as a group and pick the key topics that we think are worth chasing We then start liaising with the relevant people for the weekend whether itrsquos (on the ground correspondents) James Allen or Tom Clarkson and get a mud map together of what wersquore looking for
Tom goes to every round and James doesnrsquot so it varies a bit as to who does what The boys are very good they donrsquot stick hard and fast to the plan they change it on the run depending on whatrsquos topical and what theyrsquove got Sometimes things on your wish list donrsquot come together you may want Fernando Alonso but the planets donrsquot align in terms of when yoursquove got camera time and things like that
Then yoursquove got other times when it works absolutely beautifully The amount of Tweets wersquove had from people about what Nikki Lauda has had to say when hersquos been on has been amazing People love his frankness
A key thing to remember with our telecasts is that essentially we are graphically disadvantaged Wersquod love to do what the BBC do and go to every round with a small army of people on hand to go and collate content What we did in Abu Dhabi with James and I (for the 2010 season finale) was a real high for me but itrsquos not possible to be doing that all the time so we do the best with the resources we have
James and Tom have been excellent for us James knows television very well obviously (having previously headed ITVrsquos Formula One coverage) and TC is essentially from a print background but he has come on in leaps and bounds this year
I enjoy getting my hands pretty heavily involved in what we do I canrsquot always promise that wersquoll get it right for everyone but itrsquos about walking that tight rope of catering for the hardcore viewers and those who are completely new to it Our ratings indicate that the success of Mark Webber and the variety and excitement wersquove had in Formula One of late has grown and changed the audience Wersquove had to adapt to that
Of course the whole thing is made possible by the tremendous group of people behind the scenes Our overseeing producer is a guy called Michael Heaton who has a long motorsport background in this country
two wheels and four The nuts and bolts producer on race weekends Nina Harlan has been around since the Channel 9 days with Alan Jones and Darrell Eastlake so shersquos got a long history with the sport as well
As far as my on-air colleagues go Daz (Darryl Beattie) and I have known one another for over a decade and hersquos become like a brother I think that sort of repour is something that you canrsquot create it really has to be genuinely there Bairdo (Craig Baird) has slotted into the mix so easily for very similar reasons Wersquove been dealing with one another through Super Tourers and V8 Supercars since 1997 when he was a stand by driver for the Diet Coke BMW team
When the management at Ten decided to make the telecasts a mix of a BBQ style conversation with the good stuff from on the ground sprinkled in between it wasnrsquot something that we had to think twice about
At the end of the day we donrsquot always get it right but wersquore constantly thinking of ways to do things better I really think itrsquos critical to have that attitude

RED BULL RACING THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYBy Sebastian Vettelrsquos standards
fourth place at the Nurburgring was a disaster
Missing the front-row of the grid for the first time all season spinning wildly in the opening stint and suffering an unexplained brake issue contrived to keep the rapid German off the podium
Donrsquot expect a repeat this weekend however with Red Bull returning to a track where it dominated last year
In 2010 Vettelrsquos pole time was 12s faster than Ferrarirsquos best effort
While a front-row lockout wonrsquot guarantee a one-two finish with the Super Soft and Soft tyres on such an abrasive surface it wonrsquot hurt either

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYOff throttle diffuser blowing
returned in Germany and so did McLaren
After a dismal showing at the British Grand Prix particularly in qualifying Hamilton took his second win of the season at the Nurburgring thanks to a mix of speed race craft and strategy
This weekend is one of milestones at McLaren with the 24 litre Mercedes engine celebrating its 100th race and Button enjoying his 200th Grand Prix start
The 2009 World Champion will need a change of luck if he is to remember this race fondly however after mechanical failures in the last two races
Hamilton is a genuine chance

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile Red Bull has been quick
on every circuit this year taking all 10 pole positions Ferrarirsquos form has - like that of McLaren - been more difficult to predict
Alonso only narrowly lost out on victory in Germany - emerging from the second round of stops with the lead before finding himself on the wrong side of a brilliant manoeuvre by Hamilton
Tyre warm-up has hampered the F150th Italia this season but will not be such an issue this weekend thanks to the higher ambient
Alonso is an outside chance for the win providing the teamrsquos trick new wheel nuts donrsquot prove the problem they did for Massa in Germany

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYMercedes GP looks set to
continue its trend of plugging away in the back half of the top 10 this weekend
The team has a long way to go before it can be considered a threat to Red Bull McLaren or Ferrari but has steadily eased away from Renault in recent races
With fourth place in the Constructorsrsquo Championship the teamrsquos only achievable target more points this weekend will be a solid result
Schumacher will hope to have a rare trouble-free race after incidents in Europe (collision with Petrov) Britain (collision with Kobayashi) and Germany (solo spin) Expect Rosberg to once again be faster and more consistent than his team-mate

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile the Renault R31s
campaigned at the Nurburgring proved far more competitive than those seen two weeks earlier at Silverstone - particularly in qualifying - a single point was hardly a strong outcome
Renault continued to race with its forward facing exhaust package on both cars in Germany despite trialling its rearward facing solution in practice Balance issues may see the team again refrain from racing the new design this weekend
The Hungaroring will see Bruno Senna take the wheel of Heidfeldrsquos car in Practice 1 as speculation continues to mount over the Germanrsquos future
Torquey Renault engine should help secure more points this weekend

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWIlliams struggled badly with
tyre degradation last weekend in Germany - a fact that does not bode well heading to the highly abrasive high-temperature Hungaroring
Adding the Super Soft tyre into the mix this weekend is likely to compound matters further
The team will try a revised version of the rear wing it practised with last weekend - abandoning it before the race due to structural issues
KERS also remains a question mark with Barrichello having raced without it in order to access its impact on tyre wear
Points will be a stretch

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAdrian Sutil enjoyed his
strongest race of the season at the Nurburgring - qualifying eighth and finishing sixth
The final result was a mixture of speed and strategy however with Sutil the only driver to finish in the points having stopped just twice
The strategy allowed Sutil to finish ahead of Rosbergrsquos Mercedes despite being almost a full second slower than his fellow German in qualifying
Di Resta will be extra keen to return to the points prior to the mid-season break having failed to record a top 10 finish since Malaysia

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYExpect the Toro Rosso drivers
to be up to their usual trick this weekend in Hungary - qualifying at the back of the Q2 pack before moving forward in the race armed with an extra set of brand new soft tyres
The strategy has been continually employed by the team over recent races and may work wonders if tyre wear is as heavy as expected in Budapest
Buemirsquos chance at points in Germany evaporated thanks to an awkward early race collision with Heidfeldrsquos Renault while Alguersuari was unable to make it four points finishes in a row coming home 12th

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYSanity has been restored at Team
Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAll eyes were on Ricciardo in
Q1 at the Nurburgring and the Australian didnrsquot disappoint
In just his second Formula One qualifying session the West Aussie was within 0025s of the experienced Liuzzi and will again challenge the Italian strongly this weekend
The teamrsquos real target must remain Virgin Racing however having fallen behind its fellow second-year squad in recent races

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYVirgin Racing enjoyed its best
moment of the season on Sunday at the Nurburgring - with lead driver Timo Glock resigning for another three years prior to the race
The fast and experienced German is arguably the teamrsquos biggest asset and will play a crucial role in the teamrsquos plans to move up the pecking order
With a noticeable step forward again unlikely to occur this weekend the teamrsquos target will once again involve running between Team Lotus and Hispania

Round 2 ndash Malaysia
F rom time to time I get asked about the process we go through in order to bring you the coverage of each
and every Formula One race during the season
Essentially for me Irsquom not a producer but I really enjoy getting involved in a great many of the production aspects
During the week leading up to a race our team will sit down as a group and pick the key topics that we think are worth chasing We then start liaising with the relevant people for the weekend whether itrsquos (on the ground correspondents) James Allen or Tom Clarkson and get a mud map together of what wersquore looking for
Tom goes to every round and James doesnrsquot so it varies a bit as to who does what The boys are very good they donrsquot stick hard and fast to the plan they change it on the run depending on whatrsquos topical and what theyrsquove got Sometimes things on your wish list donrsquot come together you may want Fernando Alonso but the planets donrsquot align in terms of when yoursquove got camera time and things like that
Then yoursquove got other times when it works absolutely beautifully The amount of Tweets wersquove had from people about what Nikki Lauda has had to say when hersquos been on has been amazing People love his frankness
A key thing to remember with our telecasts is that essentially we are graphically disadvantaged Wersquod love to do what the BBC do and go to every round with a small army of people on hand to go and collate content What we did in Abu Dhabi with James and I (for the 2010 season finale) was a real high for me but itrsquos not possible to be doing that all the time so we do the best with the resources we have
James and Tom have been excellent for us James knows television very well obviously (having previously headed ITVrsquos Formula One coverage) and TC is essentially from a print background but he has come on in leaps and bounds this year
I enjoy getting my hands pretty heavily involved in what we do I canrsquot always promise that wersquoll get it right for everyone but itrsquos about walking that tight rope of catering for the hardcore viewers and those who are completely new to it Our ratings indicate that the success of Mark Webber and the variety and excitement wersquove had in Formula One of late has grown and changed the audience Wersquove had to adapt to that
Of course the whole thing is made possible by the tremendous group of people behind the scenes Our overseeing producer is a guy called Michael Heaton who has a long motorsport background in this country
two wheels and four The nuts and bolts producer on race weekends Nina Harlan has been around since the Channel 9 days with Alan Jones and Darrell Eastlake so shersquos got a long history with the sport as well
As far as my on-air colleagues go Daz (Darryl Beattie) and I have known one another for over a decade and hersquos become like a brother I think that sort of repour is something that you canrsquot create it really has to be genuinely there Bairdo (Craig Baird) has slotted into the mix so easily for very similar reasons Wersquove been dealing with one another through Super Tourers and V8 Supercars since 1997 when he was a stand by driver for the Diet Coke BMW team
When the management at Ten decided to make the telecasts a mix of a BBQ style conversation with the good stuff from on the ground sprinkled in between it wasnrsquot something that we had to think twice about
At the end of the day we donrsquot always get it right but wersquore constantly thinking of ways to do things better I really think itrsquos critical to have that attitude

RED BULL RACING THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYBy Sebastian Vettelrsquos standards
fourth place at the Nurburgring was a disaster
Missing the front-row of the grid for the first time all season spinning wildly in the opening stint and suffering an unexplained brake issue contrived to keep the rapid German off the podium
Donrsquot expect a repeat this weekend however with Red Bull returning to a track where it dominated last year
In 2010 Vettelrsquos pole time was 12s faster than Ferrarirsquos best effort
While a front-row lockout wonrsquot guarantee a one-two finish with the Super Soft and Soft tyres on such an abrasive surface it wonrsquot hurt either

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYOff throttle diffuser blowing
returned in Germany and so did McLaren
After a dismal showing at the British Grand Prix particularly in qualifying Hamilton took his second win of the season at the Nurburgring thanks to a mix of speed race craft and strategy
This weekend is one of milestones at McLaren with the 24 litre Mercedes engine celebrating its 100th race and Button enjoying his 200th Grand Prix start
The 2009 World Champion will need a change of luck if he is to remember this race fondly however after mechanical failures in the last two races
Hamilton is a genuine chance

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile Red Bull has been quick
on every circuit this year taking all 10 pole positions Ferrarirsquos form has - like that of McLaren - been more difficult to predict
Alonso only narrowly lost out on victory in Germany - emerging from the second round of stops with the lead before finding himself on the wrong side of a brilliant manoeuvre by Hamilton
Tyre warm-up has hampered the F150th Italia this season but will not be such an issue this weekend thanks to the higher ambient
Alonso is an outside chance for the win providing the teamrsquos trick new wheel nuts donrsquot prove the problem they did for Massa in Germany

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYMercedes GP looks set to
continue its trend of plugging away in the back half of the top 10 this weekend
The team has a long way to go before it can be considered a threat to Red Bull McLaren or Ferrari but has steadily eased away from Renault in recent races
With fourth place in the Constructorsrsquo Championship the teamrsquos only achievable target more points this weekend will be a solid result
Schumacher will hope to have a rare trouble-free race after incidents in Europe (collision with Petrov) Britain (collision with Kobayashi) and Germany (solo spin) Expect Rosberg to once again be faster and more consistent than his team-mate

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile the Renault R31s
campaigned at the Nurburgring proved far more competitive than those seen two weeks earlier at Silverstone - particularly in qualifying - a single point was hardly a strong outcome
Renault continued to race with its forward facing exhaust package on both cars in Germany despite trialling its rearward facing solution in practice Balance issues may see the team again refrain from racing the new design this weekend
The Hungaroring will see Bruno Senna take the wheel of Heidfeldrsquos car in Practice 1 as speculation continues to mount over the Germanrsquos future
Torquey Renault engine should help secure more points this weekend

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWIlliams struggled badly with
tyre degradation last weekend in Germany - a fact that does not bode well heading to the highly abrasive high-temperature Hungaroring
Adding the Super Soft tyre into the mix this weekend is likely to compound matters further
The team will try a revised version of the rear wing it practised with last weekend - abandoning it before the race due to structural issues
KERS also remains a question mark with Barrichello having raced without it in order to access its impact on tyre wear
Points will be a stretch

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAdrian Sutil enjoyed his
strongest race of the season at the Nurburgring - qualifying eighth and finishing sixth
The final result was a mixture of speed and strategy however with Sutil the only driver to finish in the points having stopped just twice
The strategy allowed Sutil to finish ahead of Rosbergrsquos Mercedes despite being almost a full second slower than his fellow German in qualifying
Di Resta will be extra keen to return to the points prior to the mid-season break having failed to record a top 10 finish since Malaysia

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYThe Sauber C30 has time and

Kobayashi stormed through the field at the Nurburgring finishing ninth after an embarrassing Q1 exit on Saturday that saw him start18th

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYExpect the Toro Rosso drivers
to be up to their usual trick this weekend in Hungary - qualifying at the back of the Q2 pack before moving forward in the race armed with an extra set of brand new soft tyres
The strategy has been continually employed by the team over recent races and may work wonders if tyre wear is as heavy as expected in Budapest
Buemirsquos chance at points in Germany evaporated thanks to an awkward early race collision with Heidfeldrsquos Renault while Alguersuari was unable to make it four points finishes in a row coming home 12th

Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely

moment of the season on Sunday at the Nurburgring - with lead driver Timo Glock resigning for another three years prior to the race

With a noticeable step forward again unlikely to occur this weekend the teamrsquos target will once again involve running between Team Lotus and Hispania

RED BULL RACING THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYBy Sebastian Vettelrsquos standards
fourth place at the Nurburgring was a disaster
Missing the front-row of the grid for the first time all season spinning wildly in the opening stint and suffering an unexplained brake issue contrived to keep the rapid German off the podium
Donrsquot expect a repeat this weekend however with Red Bull returning to a track where it dominated last year
In 2010 Vettelrsquos pole time was 12s faster than Ferrarirsquos best effort
While a front-row lockout wonrsquot guarantee a one-two finish with the Super Soft and Soft tyres on such an abrasive surface it wonrsquot hurt either

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYOff throttle diffuser blowing
returned in Germany and so did McLaren
After a dismal showing at the British Grand Prix particularly in qualifying Hamilton took his second win of the season at the Nurburgring thanks to a mix of speed race craft and strategy
This weekend is one of milestones at McLaren with the 24 litre Mercedes engine celebrating its 100th race and Button enjoying his 200th Grand Prix start
The 2009 World Champion will need a change of luck if he is to remember this race fondly however after mechanical failures in the last two races
Hamilton is a genuine chance

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile Red Bull has been quick
on every circuit this year taking all 10 pole positions Ferrarirsquos form has - like that of McLaren - been more difficult to predict
Alonso only narrowly lost out on victory in Germany - emerging from the second round of stops with the lead before finding himself on the wrong side of a brilliant manoeuvre by Hamilton
Tyre warm-up has hampered the F150th Italia this season but will not be such an issue this weekend thanks to the higher ambient
Alonso is an outside chance for the win providing the teamrsquos trick new wheel nuts donrsquot prove the problem they did for Massa in Germany

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYMercedes GP looks set to
continue its trend of plugging away in the back half of the top 10 this weekend
The team has a long way to go before it can be considered a threat to Red Bull McLaren or Ferrari but has steadily eased away from Renault in recent races
With fourth place in the Constructorsrsquo Championship the teamrsquos only achievable target more points this weekend will be a solid result
Schumacher will hope to have a rare trouble-free race after incidents in Europe (collision with Petrov) Britain (collision with Kobayashi) and Germany (solo spin) Expect Rosberg to once again be faster and more consistent than his team-mate

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile the Renault R31s
campaigned at the Nurburgring proved far more competitive than those seen two weeks earlier at Silverstone - particularly in qualifying - a single point was hardly a strong outcome
Renault continued to race with its forward facing exhaust package on both cars in Germany despite trialling its rearward facing solution in practice Balance issues may see the team again refrain from racing the new design this weekend
The Hungaroring will see Bruno Senna take the wheel of Heidfeldrsquos car in Practice 1 as speculation continues to mount over the Germanrsquos future
Torquey Renault engine should help secure more points this weekend

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWIlliams struggled badly with
tyre degradation last weekend in Germany - a fact that does not bode well heading to the highly abrasive high-temperature Hungaroring
Adding the Super Soft tyre into the mix this weekend is likely to compound matters further
The team will try a revised version of the rear wing it practised with last weekend - abandoning it before the race due to structural issues
KERS also remains a question mark with Barrichello having raced without it in order to access its impact on tyre wear
Points will be a stretch

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAdrian Sutil enjoyed his
strongest race of the season at the Nurburgring - qualifying eighth and finishing sixth
The final result was a mixture of speed and strategy however with Sutil the only driver to finish in the points having stopped just twice
The strategy allowed Sutil to finish ahead of Rosbergrsquos Mercedes despite being almost a full second slower than his fellow German in qualifying
Di Resta will be extra keen to return to the points prior to the mid-season break having failed to record a top 10 finish since Malaysia

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYExpect the Toro Rosso drivers
to be up to their usual trick this weekend in Hungary - qualifying at the back of the Q2 pack before moving forward in the race armed with an extra set of brand new soft tyres
The strategy has been continually employed by the team over recent races and may work wonders if tyre wear is as heavy as expected in Budapest

Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYVirgin Racing enjoyed its best
moment of the season on Sunday at the Nurburgring - with lead driver Timo Glock resigning for another three years prior to the race
The fast and experienced German is arguably the teamrsquos biggest asset and will play a crucial role in the teamrsquos plans to move up the pecking order
With a noticeable step forward again unlikely to occur this weekend the teamrsquos target will once again involve running between Team Lotus and Hispania

RED BULL RACING THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYBy Sebastian Vettelrsquos standards
fourth place at the Nurburgring was a disaster
Missing the front-row of the grid for the first time all season spinning wildly in the opening stint and suffering an unexplained brake issue contrived to keep the rapid German off the podium
Donrsquot expect a repeat this weekend however with Red Bull returning to a track where it dominated last year
In 2010 Vettelrsquos pole time was 12s faster than Ferrarirsquos best effort
While a front-row lockout wonrsquot guarantee a one-two finish with the Super Soft and Soft tyres on such an abrasive surface it wonrsquot hurt either

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYOff throttle diffuser blowing
returned in Germany and so did McLaren
After a dismal showing at the British Grand Prix particularly in qualifying Hamilton took his second win of the season at the Nurburgring thanks to a mix of speed race craft and strategy
This weekend is one of milestones at McLaren with the 24 litre Mercedes engine celebrating its 100th race and Button enjoying his 200th Grand Prix start
The 2009 World Champion will need a change of luck if he is to remember this race fondly however after mechanical failures in the last two races
Hamilton is a genuine chance

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile Red Bull has been quick
on every circuit this year taking all 10 pole positions Ferrarirsquos form has - like that of McLaren - been more difficult to predict
Alonso only narrowly lost out on victory in Germany - emerging from the second round of stops with the lead before finding himself on the wrong side of a brilliant manoeuvre by Hamilton
Tyre warm-up has hampered the F150th Italia this season but will not be such an issue this weekend thanks to the higher ambient
Alonso is an outside chance for the win providing the teamrsquos trick new wheel nuts donrsquot prove the problem they did for Massa in Germany

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYMercedes GP looks set to
continue its trend of plugging away in the back half of the top 10 this weekend
The team has a long way to go before it can be considered a threat to Red Bull McLaren or Ferrari but has steadily eased away from Renault in recent races
With fourth place in the Constructorsrsquo Championship the teamrsquos only achievable target more points this weekend will be a solid result
Schumacher will hope to have a rare trouble-free race after incidents in Europe (collision with Petrov) Britain (collision with Kobayashi) and Germany (solo spin) Expect Rosberg to once again be faster and more consistent than his team-mate

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile the Renault R31s
campaigned at the Nurburgring proved far more competitive than those seen two weeks earlier at Silverstone - particularly in qualifying - a single point was hardly a strong outcome
Renault continued to race with its forward facing exhaust package on both cars in Germany despite trialling its rearward facing solution in practice Balance issues may see the team again refrain from racing the new design this weekend
The Hungaroring will see Bruno Senna take the wheel of Heidfeldrsquos car in Practice 1 as speculation continues to mount over the Germanrsquos future
Torquey Renault engine should help secure more points this weekend

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWIlliams struggled badly with
tyre degradation last weekend in Germany - a fact that does not bode well heading to the highly abrasive high-temperature Hungaroring
Adding the Super Soft tyre into the mix this weekend is likely to compound matters further
The team will try a revised version of the rear wing it practised with last weekend - abandoning it before the race due to structural issues
KERS also remains a question mark with Barrichello having raced without it in order to access its impact on tyre wear
Points will be a stretch

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAdrian Sutil enjoyed his
strongest race of the season at the Nurburgring - qualifying eighth and finishing sixth
The final result was a mixture of speed and strategy however with Sutil the only driver to finish in the points having stopped just twice
The strategy allowed Sutil to finish ahead of Rosbergrsquos Mercedes despite being almost a full second slower than his fellow German in qualifying
Di Resta will be extra keen to return to the points prior to the mid-season break having failed to record a top 10 finish since Malaysia

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYExpect the Toro Rosso drivers
to be up to their usual trick this weekend in Hungary - qualifying at the back of the Q2 pack before moving forward in the race armed with an extra set of brand new soft tyres
The strategy has been continually employed by the team over recent races and may work wonders if tyre wear is as heavy as expected in Budapest
Buemirsquos chance at points in Germany evaporated thanks to an awkward early race collision with Heidfeldrsquos Renault while Alguersuari was unable to make it four points finishes in a row coming home 12th

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYSanity has been restored at Team
Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAll eyes were on Ricciardo in
Q1 at the Nurburgring and the Australian didnrsquot disappoint
In just his second Formula One qualifying session the West Aussie was within 0025s of the experienced Liuzzi and will again challenge the Italian strongly this weekend
The teamrsquos real target must remain Virgin Racing however having fallen behind its fellow second-year squad in recent races

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYVirgin Racing enjoyed its best
moment of the season on Sunday at the Nurburgring - with lead driver Timo Glock resigning for another three years prior to the race
The fast and experienced German is arguably the teamrsquos biggest asset and will play a crucial role in the teamrsquos plans to move up the pecking order
With a noticeable step forward again unlikely to occur this weekend the teamrsquos target will once again involve running between Team Lotus and Hispania

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYOff throttle diffuser blowing
returned in Germany and so did McLaren
After a dismal showing at the British Grand Prix particularly in qualifying Hamilton took his second win of the season at the Nurburgring thanks to a mix of speed race craft and strategy
This weekend is one of milestones at McLaren with the 24 litre Mercedes engine celebrating its 100th race and Button enjoying his 200th Grand Prix start
The 2009 World Champion will need a change of luck if he is to remember this race fondly however after mechanical failures in the last two races
Hamilton is a genuine chance

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile Red Bull has been quick
on every circuit this year taking all 10 pole positions Ferrarirsquos form has - like that of McLaren - been more difficult to predict
Alonso only narrowly lost out on victory in Germany - emerging from the second round of stops with the lead before finding himself on the wrong side of a brilliant manoeuvre by Hamilton
Tyre warm-up has hampered the F150th Italia this season but will not be such an issue this weekend thanks to the higher ambient
Alonso is an outside chance for the win providing the teamrsquos trick new wheel nuts donrsquot prove the problem they did for Massa in Germany

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYMercedes GP looks set to
continue its trend of plugging away in the back half of the top 10 this weekend
The team has a long way to go before it can be considered a threat to Red Bull McLaren or Ferrari but has steadily eased away from Renault in recent races
With fourth place in the Constructorsrsquo Championship the teamrsquos only achievable target more points this weekend will be a solid result
Schumacher will hope to have a rare trouble-free race after incidents in Europe (collision with Petrov) Britain (collision with Kobayashi) and Germany (solo spin) Expect Rosberg to once again be faster and more consistent than his team-mate

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile the Renault R31s
campaigned at the Nurburgring proved far more competitive than those seen two weeks earlier at Silverstone - particularly in qualifying - a single point was hardly a strong outcome
Renault continued to race with its forward facing exhaust package on both cars in Germany despite trialling its rearward facing solution in practice Balance issues may see the team again refrain from racing the new design this weekend
The Hungaroring will see Bruno Senna take the wheel of Heidfeldrsquos car in Practice 1 as speculation continues to mount over the Germanrsquos future
Torquey Renault engine should help secure more points this weekend

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWIlliams struggled badly with
tyre degradation last weekend in Germany - a fact that does not bode well heading to the highly abrasive high-temperature Hungaroring
Adding the Super Soft tyre into the mix this weekend is likely to compound matters further
The team will try a revised version of the rear wing it practised with last weekend - abandoning it before the race due to structural issues
KERS also remains a question mark with Barrichello having raced without it in order to access its impact on tyre wear
Points will be a stretch

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAdrian Sutil enjoyed his
strongest race of the season at the Nurburgring - qualifying eighth and finishing sixth
The final result was a mixture of speed and strategy however with Sutil the only driver to finish in the points having stopped just twice
The strategy allowed Sutil to finish ahead of Rosbergrsquos Mercedes despite being almost a full second slower than his fellow German in qualifying
Di Resta will be extra keen to return to the points prior to the mid-season break having failed to record a top 10 finish since Malaysia

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYThe Sauber C30 has time and
again shown its tyre preserving prowess this season meaning the Swiss team will head to the Hungaroring confident of another points finish
Kobayashi stormed through the field at the Nurburgring finishing ninth after an embarrassing Q1 exit on Saturday that saw him start18th
For Perez returning to Budapest will bring back memories of his disastrous 2010 weekend at the circuit The Mexican crashed out of Sundayrsquos GP2 event - severely damaging his title chances

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYExpect the Toro Rosso drivers
to be up to their usual trick this weekend in Hungary - qualifying at the back of the Q2 pack before moving forward in the race armed with an extra set of brand new soft tyres
The strategy has been continually employed by the team over recent races and may work wonders if tyre wear is as heavy as expected in Budapest
Buemirsquos chance at points in Germany evaporated thanks to an awkward early race collision with Heidfeldrsquos Renault while Alguersuari was unable to make it four points finishes in a row coming home 12th

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYSanity has been restored at Team
Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAll eyes were on Ricciardo in
Q1 at the Nurburgring and the Australian didnrsquot disappoint
In just his second Formula One qualifying session the West Aussie was within 0025s of the experienced Liuzzi and will again challenge the Italian strongly this weekend
The teamrsquos real target must remain Virgin Racing however having fallen behind its fellow second-year squad in recent races

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYVirgin Racing enjoyed its best
moment of the season on Sunday at the Nurburgring - with lead driver Timo Glock resigning for another three years prior to the race
The fast and experienced German is arguably the teamrsquos biggest asset and will play a crucial role in the teamrsquos plans to move up the pecking order
With a noticeable step forward again unlikely to occur this weekend the teamrsquos target will once again involve running between Team Lotus and Hispania

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile Red Bull has been quick
on every circuit this year taking all 10 pole positions Ferrarirsquos form has - like that of McLaren - been more difficult to predict
Alonso only narrowly lost out on victory in Germany - emerging from the second round of stops with the lead before finding himself on the wrong side of a brilliant manoeuvre by Hamilton
Tyre warm-up has hampered the F150th Italia this season but will not be such an issue this weekend thanks to the higher ambient
Alonso is an outside chance for the win providing the teamrsquos trick new wheel nuts donrsquot prove the problem they did for Massa in Germany

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYMercedes GP looks set to
continue its trend of plugging away in the back half of the top 10 this weekend
The team has a long way to go before it can be considered a threat to Red Bull McLaren or Ferrari but has steadily eased away from Renault in recent races
With fourth place in the Constructorsrsquo Championship the teamrsquos only achievable target more points this weekend will be a solid result
Schumacher will hope to have a rare trouble-free race after incidents in Europe (collision with Petrov) Britain (collision with Kobayashi) and Germany (solo spin) Expect Rosberg to once again be faster and more consistent than his team-mate

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile the Renault R31s
campaigned at the Nurburgring proved far more competitive than those seen two weeks earlier at Silverstone - particularly in qualifying - a single point was hardly a strong outcome
Renault continued to race with its forward facing exhaust package on both cars in Germany despite trialling its rearward facing solution in practice Balance issues may see the team again refrain from racing the new design this weekend
The Hungaroring will see Bruno Senna take the wheel of Heidfeldrsquos car in Practice 1 as speculation continues to mount over the Germanrsquos future
Torquey Renault engine should help secure more points this weekend

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWIlliams struggled badly with
tyre degradation last weekend in Germany - a fact that does not bode well heading to the highly abrasive high-temperature Hungaroring
Adding the Super Soft tyre into the mix this weekend is likely to compound matters further
The team will try a revised version of the rear wing it practised with last weekend - abandoning it before the race due to structural issues
KERS also remains a question mark with Barrichello having raced without it in order to access its impact on tyre wear
Points will be a stretch

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAdrian Sutil enjoyed his
strongest race of the season at the Nurburgring - qualifying eighth and finishing sixth
The final result was a mixture of speed and strategy however with Sutil the only driver to finish in the points having stopped just twice
The strategy allowed Sutil to finish ahead of Rosbergrsquos Mercedes despite being almost a full second slower than his fellow German in qualifying
Di Resta will be extra keen to return to the points prior to the mid-season break having failed to record a top 10 finish since Malaysia

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYThe Sauber C30 has time and
again shown its tyre preserving prowess this season meaning the Swiss team will head to the Hungaroring confident of another points finish
Kobayashi stormed through the field at the Nurburgring finishing ninth after an embarrassing Q1 exit on Saturday that saw him start18th
For Perez returning to Budapest will bring back memories of his disastrous 2010 weekend at the circuit The Mexican crashed out of Sundayrsquos GP2 event - severely damaging his title chances

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYExpect the Toro Rosso drivers
to be up to their usual trick this weekend in Hungary - qualifying at the back of the Q2 pack before moving forward in the race armed with an extra set of brand new soft tyres
The strategy has been continually employed by the team over recent races and may work wonders if tyre wear is as heavy as expected in Budapest
Buemirsquos chance at points in Germany evaporated thanks to an awkward early race collision with Heidfeldrsquos Renault while Alguersuari was unable to make it four points finishes in a row coming home 12th

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYSanity has been restored at Team
Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAll eyes were on Ricciardo in
Q1 at the Nurburgring and the Australian didnrsquot disappoint
In just his second Formula One qualifying session the West Aussie was within 0025s of the experienced Liuzzi and will again challenge the Italian strongly this weekend
The teamrsquos real target must remain Virgin Racing however having fallen behind its fellow second-year squad in recent races

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYVirgin Racing enjoyed its best
moment of the season on Sunday at the Nurburgring - with lead driver Timo Glock resigning for another three years prior to the race
The fast and experienced German is arguably the teamrsquos biggest asset and will play a crucial role in the teamrsquos plans to move up the pecking order
With a noticeable step forward again unlikely to occur this weekend the teamrsquos target will once again involve running between Team Lotus and Hispania

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile Red Bull has been quick
on every circuit this year taking all 10 pole positions Ferrarirsquos form has - like that of McLaren - been more difficult to predict
Alonso only narrowly lost out on victory in Germany - emerging from the second round of stops with the lead before finding himself on the wrong side of a brilliant manoeuvre by Hamilton
Tyre warm-up has hampered the F150th Italia this season but will not be such an issue this weekend thanks to the higher ambient
Alonso is an outside chance for the win providing the teamrsquos trick new wheel nuts donrsquot prove the problem they did for Massa in Germany

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYMercedes GP looks set to
continue its trend of plugging away in the back half of the top 10 this weekend
The team has a long way to go before it can be considered a threat to Red Bull McLaren or Ferrari but has steadily eased away from Renault in recent races
With fourth place in the Constructorsrsquo Championship the teamrsquos only achievable target more points this weekend will be a solid result
Schumacher will hope to have a rare trouble-free race after incidents in Europe (collision with Petrov) Britain (collision with Kobayashi) and Germany (solo spin) Expect Rosberg to once again be faster and more consistent than his team-mate

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile the Renault R31s
campaigned at the Nurburgring proved far more competitive than those seen two weeks earlier at Silverstone - particularly in qualifying - a single point was hardly a strong outcome
Renault continued to race with its forward facing exhaust package on both cars in Germany despite trialling its rearward facing solution in practice Balance issues may see the team again refrain from racing the new design this weekend
The Hungaroring will see Bruno Senna take the wheel of Heidfeldrsquos car in Practice 1 as speculation continues to mount over the Germanrsquos future
Torquey Renault engine should help secure more points this weekend

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWIlliams struggled badly with
tyre degradation last weekend in Germany - a fact that does not bode well heading to the highly abrasive high-temperature Hungaroring
Adding the Super Soft tyre into the mix this weekend is likely to compound matters further
The team will try a revised version of the rear wing it practised with last weekend - abandoning it before the race due to structural issues
KERS also remains a question mark with Barrichello having raced without it in order to access its impact on tyre wear
Points will be a stretch

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAdrian Sutil enjoyed his
strongest race of the season at the Nurburgring - qualifying eighth and finishing sixth
The final result was a mixture of speed and strategy however with Sutil the only driver to finish in the points having stopped just twice
The strategy allowed Sutil to finish ahead of Rosbergrsquos Mercedes despite being almost a full second slower than his fellow German in qualifying
Di Resta will be extra keen to return to the points prior to the mid-season break having failed to record a top 10 finish since Malaysia

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYThe Sauber C30 has time and
again shown its tyre preserving prowess this season meaning the Swiss team will head to the Hungaroring confident of another points finish
Kobayashi stormed through the field at the Nurburgring finishing ninth after an embarrassing Q1 exit on Saturday that saw him start18th

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYExpect the Toro Rosso drivers
to be up to their usual trick this weekend in Hungary - qualifying at the back of the Q2 pack before moving forward in the race armed with an extra set of brand new soft tyres
The strategy has been continually employed by the team over recent races and may work wonders if tyre wear is as heavy as expected in Budapest
Buemirsquos chance at points in Germany evaporated thanks to an awkward early race collision with Heidfeldrsquos Renault while Alguersuari was unable to make it four points finishes in a row coming home 12th

Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely

moment of the season on Sunday at the Nurburgring - with lead driver Timo Glock resigning for another three years prior to the race
The fast and experienced German is arguably the teamrsquos biggest asset and will play a crucial role in the teamrsquos plans to move up the pecking order
With a noticeable step forward again unlikely to occur this weekend the teamrsquos target will once again involve running between Team Lotus and Hispania

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYMercedes GP looks set to
continue its trend of plugging away in the back half of the top 10 this weekend
The team has a long way to go before it can be considered a threat to Red Bull McLaren or Ferrari but has steadily eased away from Renault in recent races
With fourth place in the Constructorsrsquo Championship the teamrsquos only achievable target more points this weekend will be a solid result
Schumacher will hope to have a rare trouble-free race after incidents in Europe (collision with Petrov) Britain (collision with Kobayashi) and Germany (solo spin) Expect Rosberg to once again be faster and more consistent than his team-mate

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile the Renault R31s
campaigned at the Nurburgring proved far more competitive than those seen two weeks earlier at Silverstone - particularly in qualifying - a single point was hardly a strong outcome
Renault continued to race with its forward facing exhaust package on both cars in Germany despite trialling its rearward facing solution in practice Balance issues may see the team again refrain from racing the new design this weekend
The Hungaroring will see Bruno Senna take the wheel of Heidfeldrsquos car in Practice 1 as speculation continues to mount over the Germanrsquos future
Torquey Renault engine should help secure more points this weekend

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWIlliams struggled badly with
tyre degradation last weekend in Germany - a fact that does not bode well heading to the highly abrasive high-temperature Hungaroring
Adding the Super Soft tyre into the mix this weekend is likely to compound matters further
The team will try a revised version of the rear wing it practised with last weekend - abandoning it before the race due to structural issues
KERS also remains a question mark with Barrichello having raced without it in order to access its impact on tyre wear
Points will be a stretch

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAdrian Sutil enjoyed his
strongest race of the season at the Nurburgring - qualifying eighth and finishing sixth
The final result was a mixture of speed and strategy however with Sutil the only driver to finish in the points having stopped just twice
The strategy allowed Sutil to finish ahead of Rosbergrsquos Mercedes despite being almost a full second slower than his fellow German in qualifying
Di Resta will be extra keen to return to the points prior to the mid-season break having failed to record a top 10 finish since Malaysia

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYThe Sauber C30 has time and
again shown its tyre preserving prowess this season meaning the Swiss team will head to the Hungaroring confident of another points finish
Kobayashi stormed through the field at the Nurburgring finishing ninth after an embarrassing Q1 exit on Saturday that saw him start18th

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYExpect the Toro Rosso drivers
to be up to their usual trick this weekend in Hungary - qualifying at the back of the Q2 pack before moving forward in the race armed with an extra set of brand new soft tyres
The strategy has been continually employed by the team over recent races and may work wonders if tyre wear is as heavy as expected in Budapest
Buemirsquos chance at points in Germany evaporated thanks to an awkward early race collision with Heidfeldrsquos Renault while Alguersuari was unable to make it four points finishes in a row coming home 12th

Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely

Q1 at the Nurburgring and the Australian didnrsquot disappoint

moment of the season on Sunday at the Nurburgring - with lead driver Timo Glock resigning for another three years prior to the race
The fast and experienced German is arguably the teamrsquos biggest asset and will play a crucial role in the teamrsquos plans to move up the pecking order
With a noticeable step forward again unlikely to occur this weekend the teamrsquos target will once again involve running between Team Lotus and Hispania

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWhile the Renault R31s
campaigned at the Nurburgring proved far more competitive than those seen two weeks earlier at Silverstone - particularly in qualifying - a single point was hardly a strong outcome
Renault continued to race with its forward facing exhaust package on both cars in Germany despite trialling its rearward facing solution in practice Balance issues may see the team again refrain from racing the new design this weekend
The Hungaroring will see Bruno Senna take the wheel of Heidfeldrsquos car in Practice 1 as speculation continues to mount over the Germanrsquos future
Torquey Renault engine should help secure more points this weekend

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWIlliams struggled badly with
tyre degradation last weekend in Germany - a fact that does not bode well heading to the highly abrasive high-temperature Hungaroring
Adding the Super Soft tyre into the mix this weekend is likely to compound matters further
The team will try a revised version of the rear wing it practised with last weekend - abandoning it before the race due to structural issues
KERS also remains a question mark with Barrichello having raced without it in order to access its impact on tyre wear
Points will be a stretch

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAdrian Sutil enjoyed his
strongest race of the season at the Nurburgring - qualifying eighth and finishing sixth
The final result was a mixture of speed and strategy however with Sutil the only driver to finish in the points having stopped just twice
The strategy allowed Sutil to finish ahead of Rosbergrsquos Mercedes despite being almost a full second slower than his fellow German in qualifying
Di Resta will be extra keen to return to the points prior to the mid-season break having failed to record a top 10 finish since Malaysia

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYThe Sauber C30 has time and
again shown its tyre preserving prowess this season meaning the Swiss team will head to the Hungaroring confident of another points finish
Kobayashi stormed through the field at the Nurburgring finishing ninth after an embarrassing Q1 exit on Saturday that saw him start18th

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYExpect the Toro Rosso drivers
to be up to their usual trick this weekend in Hungary - qualifying at the back of the Q2 pack before moving forward in the race armed with an extra set of brand new soft tyres
The strategy has been continually employed by the team over recent races and may work wonders if tyre wear is as heavy as expected in Budapest
Buemirsquos chance at points in Germany evaporated thanks to an awkward early race collision with Heidfeldrsquos Renault while Alguersuari was unable to make it four points finishes in a row coming home 12th

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYSanity has been restored at Team
Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely

Q1 at the Nurburgring and the Australian didnrsquot disappoint
In just his second Formula One qualifying session the West Aussie was within 0025s of the experienced Liuzzi and will again challenge the Italian strongly this weekend

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYVirgin Racing enjoyed its best
moment of the season on Sunday at the Nurburgring - with lead driver Timo Glock resigning for another three years prior to the race
The fast and experienced German is arguably the teamrsquos biggest asset and will play a crucial role in the teamrsquos plans to move up the pecking order
With a noticeable step forward again unlikely to occur this weekend the teamrsquos target will once again involve running between Team Lotus and Hispania

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYWIlliams struggled badly with
tyre degradation last weekend in Germany - a fact that does not bode well heading to the highly abrasive high-temperature Hungaroring
Adding the Super Soft tyre into the mix this weekend is likely to compound matters further
The team will try a revised version of the rear wing it practised with last weekend - abandoning it before the race due to structural issues
KERS also remains a question mark with Barrichello having raced without it in order to access its impact on tyre wear
Points will be a stretch

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAdrian Sutil enjoyed his
strongest race of the season at the Nurburgring - qualifying eighth and finishing sixth
The final result was a mixture of speed and strategy however with Sutil the only driver to finish in the points having stopped just twice
The strategy allowed Sutil to finish ahead of Rosbergrsquos Mercedes despite being almost a full second slower than his fellow German in qualifying
Di Resta will be extra keen to return to the points prior to the mid-season break having failed to record a top 10 finish since Malaysia

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYThe Sauber C30 has time and
again shown its tyre preserving prowess this season meaning the Swiss team will head to the Hungaroring confident of another points finish
Kobayashi stormed through the field at the Nurburgring finishing ninth after an embarrassing Q1 exit on Saturday that saw him start18th
For Perez returning to Budapest will bring back memories of his disastrous 2010 weekend at the circuit The Mexican crashed out of Sundayrsquos GP2 event - severely damaging his title chances

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYExpect the Toro Rosso drivers
to be up to their usual trick this weekend in Hungary - qualifying at the back of the Q2 pack before moving forward in the race armed with an extra set of brand new soft tyres
The strategy has been continually employed by the team over recent races and may work wonders if tyre wear is as heavy as expected in Budapest
Buemirsquos chance at points in Germany evaporated thanks to an awkward early race collision with Heidfeldrsquos Renault while Alguersuari was unable to make it four points finishes in a row coming home 12th

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYSanity has been restored at Team
Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAll eyes were on Ricciardo in
Q1 at the Nurburgring and the Australian didnrsquot disappoint
In just his second Formula One qualifying session the West Aussie was within 0025s of the experienced Liuzzi and will again challenge the Italian strongly this weekend
The teamrsquos real target must remain Virgin Racing however having fallen behind its fellow second-year squad in recent races

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYVirgin Racing enjoyed its best
moment of the season on Sunday at the Nurburgring - with lead driver Timo Glock resigning for another three years prior to the race
The fast and experienced German is arguably the teamrsquos biggest asset and will play a crucial role in the teamrsquos plans to move up the pecking order
With a noticeable step forward again unlikely to occur this weekend the teamrsquos target will once again involve running between Team Lotus and Hispania

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYExpect the Toro Rosso drivers
to be up to their usual trick this weekend in Hungary - qualifying at the back of the Q2 pack before moving forward in the race armed with an extra set of brand new soft tyres
The strategy has been continually employed by the team over recent races and may work wonders if tyre wear is as heavy as expected in Budapest

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYSanity has been restored at Team
Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAll eyes were on Ricciardo in
Q1 at the Nurburgring and the Australian didnrsquot disappoint
In just his second Formula One qualifying session the West Aussie was within 0025s of the experienced Liuzzi and will again challenge the Italian strongly this weekend
The teamrsquos real target must remain Virgin Racing however having fallen behind its fellow second-year squad in recent races

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYVirgin Racing enjoyed its best
moment of the season on Sunday at the Nurburgring - with lead driver Timo Glock resigning for another three years prior to the race
The fast and experienced German is arguably the teamrsquos biggest asset and will play a crucial role in the teamrsquos plans to move up the pecking order
With a noticeable step forward again unlikely to occur this weekend the teamrsquos target will once again involve running between Team Lotus and Hispania

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAdrian Sutil enjoyed his
strongest race of the season at the Nurburgring - qualifying eighth and finishing sixth
The final result was a mixture of speed and strategy however with Sutil the only driver to finish in the points having stopped just twice
The strategy allowed Sutil to finish ahead of Rosbergrsquos Mercedes despite being almost a full second slower than his fellow German in qualifying
Di Resta will be extra keen to return to the points prior to the mid-season break having failed to record a top 10 finish since Malaysia

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYExpect the Toro Rosso drivers
to be up to their usual trick this weekend in Hungary - qualifying at the back of the Q2 pack before moving forward in the race armed with an extra set of brand new soft tyres
The strategy has been continually employed by the team over recent races and may work wonders if tyre wear is as heavy as expected in Budapest
Buemirsquos chance at points in Germany evaporated thanks to an awkward early race collision with Heidfeldrsquos Renault while Alguersuari was unable to make it four points finishes in a row coming home 12th

again shown its tyre preserving prowess this season meaning the Swiss team will head to the Hungaroring confident of another points finish
Kobayashi stormed through the field at the Nurburgring finishing ninth after an embarrassing Q1 exit on Saturday that saw him start18th

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYExpect the Toro Rosso drivers
to be up to their usual trick this weekend in Hungary - qualifying at the back of the Q2 pack before moving forward in the race armed with an extra set of brand new soft tyres
The strategy has been continually employed by the team over recent races and may work wonders if tyre wear is as heavy as expected in Budapest

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYSanity has been restored at Team
Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYAll eyes were on Ricciardo in
Q1 at the Nurburgring and the Australian didnrsquot disappoint
In just his second Formula One qualifying session the West Aussie was within 0025s of the experienced Liuzzi and will again challenge the Italian strongly this weekend
The teamrsquos real target must remain Virgin Racing however having fallen behind its fellow second-year squad in recent races

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYVirgin Racing enjoyed its best
moment of the season on Sunday at the Nurburgring - with lead driver Timo Glock resigning for another three years prior to the race
The fast and experienced German is arguably the teamrsquos biggest asset and will play a crucial role in the teamrsquos plans to move up the pecking order
With a noticeable step forward again unlikely to occur this weekend the teamrsquos target will once again involve running between Team Lotus and Hispania

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYSanity has been restored at Team
Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely

THE BAGMANrsquoS SAYSanity has been restored at Team
Lotus with Jarno Trulli returning to the role of race driver after Karun Chandhokrsquos brief promotion for the German Grand Prix
Team technical director Mike Gascoyne is optimistic that the team can push towards Q2 this weekend thanks to the tight circuitrsquos lack of emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency
With Kovalainen who scored his only Formula One victory in Hungary in 2008 a full two seconds shy of making Q2 last weekend in Germany progressing through Q1 appears highly unlikely
