HUNGARORING -- After qualifying a season's-best seventh on the grid at the Hungarian Grand Prix, Fernando Alonso said the result was in line with McLaren's expectations but well short of his ambitions.
Alonso set the eighth fastest time in qualifying at the Hungaroring but will move up to seventh on Sunday's grid once Nico Hulkenberg's grid penalty is factored in. The starting position is equal to Alonso's best of the year at the Spanish Grand Prix and also comes on his 36th birthday, but the Spaniard said it would take more than P7 in qualifying to get him excited.
