Haug: Kimi faces tough time in Q.

Mercedes boss, Norbert Haug has admitted that Kimi Raikkonen faces a tough time at the Hungarian Grand Prix this weekend, as he will have to go out first in qualifying, when the track is at its slowest.

Speaking in the build-up though, Haug added that the MP4-20 has the speed and that should help both Raikkonen and his team-mate, Juan Pablo Montoya.

"After Kimi retired from the Hockenheim GP things have not become easier for us," said Haug. "However, everybody in the team is working hard to achieve top results at the Hungarian Grand Prix, although this won't be an easy task at the Hungaroring.

"The track's layout is completely different from what we have experienced in the last three races. With an average speed per lap of a little less than 200 kph the circuit is the second slowest on the calendar behind Monaco. Less than 60 percent of a lap is run under full throttle. There is only one line to be driven on and overtaking is nearly impossible.

"After he retired at Hockenheim, Kimi faces the difficult challenge of going out first in Saturday's qualifying. The speed is there as Kimi and Juan Pablo proved again at Hockenheim, and from now on we also want to be reliable enough to achieve the best possible results with both cars."
