...do you think he would have overtaken Alonso?
No, the Hungaroring is a track completely unsuitable for overtaking, Barrichello needed a three second a lap advantage to blow his way by Michael Schumacher (and even then it took a few laps). The Red Bull might have been the class of the field but it never had enough of an advantage to pass the Ferrari. It would have taken a mistake by Fernando Alonso for anyone to have passed him.
Not really.Quote:

Well, Hamilton overtook Petrov after the first couple of laps, with a pretty good maneuver on the outside, although I admit the Renault was a bit out of shape coming out of the corner.Quote:

However, Hungaroring is probably the worst track to talk about any possibility of overtaking.
I reckon he at least would have been able to try a couple of times, unlike Vettel who was never in the frame. The kid is surely fast according to the lap times, but he's no real fighter.. He's too mistake-prone , not wise enough and Webbo clearly knows that as we could see in the post race press conference. ;)
It's not that Vettel was being cautious behind Alonso , he just couldn't do it.... :)
