‘Rain, rain go away’ would be the reaction in the Ferrari camp after qualifying in Hungary, as Ferrari once again failed to deliver in wet conditions, with Mercedes running away with the front row, thanks to some impressive driving on part of Hamilton and Bottas.

Q1 was fairly dry, but Q2 got worse with all drivers shifter to intermediates. But the heavens opened up slightly more in Q3, forcing every driver to shift to wet tyres.

It was a tricky, tricky session with Raikkonen setting the pace initially. But the two Mercedes cars were clearly finding the correct lines and more grip in order to push the two Ferrari away.

And in the end, the duo was just too good for both Vettel and Raikkonen.

Hamilton and Bottas now find themselves on the front row, with both the Ferraris just behind them.

It is going to be an interesting front row tomorrow.

Also, surprisingly Ricciardo couldn’t make it to Q3 and will be starting from 12th place on the grid tomorrow.

This is how Twitter reacted:
