Kevin Magnussen’s high-speed crash at the damp turn one alarmed Jenson Button during qualifying. Here’s the story of Saturday at the Hungaroring in Tweets.

Hamilton tops all three practice sessions in Hungary, but Rosberg is less than five-hundredths of a second slower. Qualifying will be great!

Qualifying
I would like to report that the main covered grandstand is full. But it isn't. More empty seats than people I reckon.

For the second Saturday in a row, a technical failure prevented Lewis Hamilton from fighting for pole position. His session was over in Q1 as his Mercedes caught fire.

Almost certain to be a chassis change and pitlane start for HAM – and he's probably lost all those power unit elements

Wowza, another big shock – Jules Bianchi knocks Kimi Raikkonen out of qualifying and will proceed to Q2. Next job, nick his seat at Ferrari

How ironic. It's now raining. @Lewishamilton could have done with that half an hour ago. #f1

Button radio "Is he ok, is he ok?" Yes Jenson" "Good. Very scary down there" #F1

.@lxznr Thank you so much for all your support Alex, I won't give up!!

Win as a team, lose as a team. A lot of us just as gutted as @LewisHamilton but we keep fighting for tomorrow!

Once again we'll be watching how far Lewis Hamilton can get through the F1 pack.His luck is appalling but they hand the points out on Sunday
— Martin Brundle (@MBrundleF1) July 26, 2014
Team allowed Hamilton to forgo his written media commitments, and he's gone back to his hotel. Not surprising given circumstances

Meanwhile, Ferrari were unhappy with the performance of their junior racer Raffaele Marciello in the afternoon’s GP2 event. The race was won by Charles Pic’s younger brother Arthur.

Phenomenal battle between #GP2 title rivals Nasr and Palmer at the moment in Hungary. Just what you want to see in any junior series

Another disappointing race from @R_Marciello. Blame neither bad luck nor the team but only two unacceptable driver's mistakes

It was a good qualifying session today, P8… I'll give it my 100% tomorrow & aim to finish the race as high as possible ;) #HungarianGP

Anyone got any of these 🍀
I know we had the pace for Q2 as well today so will push hard tomorrow.

Just to confirm to those asking, MAG will start ahead of HAM at the end of the pitlane. Hope they don't collide at Turn One!

No wonder really. Those tickets are truly expensive and I’ve been there two years ago – you can’t see anything from those stands apart from the main straight, but the overtaking/braking zone is far away from there and even the DRS doesn’t really work into T1. Really the only upside to those seats is the cover, but every other seat is better at the circuit as I’ve tried them at other series.

@adrianmorse That tweet has been removed, wonder if this one replaced it :)
Don’t think they should’ve tweeted out the original. Tell him that behind closed doors, fine, but not for all the world to see.
