The qualifying session of the 2009 Formula One Hungarian Grand Prix ended in a series of accidents at 25th evening in Beijing time: Ferrari driver Massa had a bizarre car crash and got injured, the "double Ba" of the Brown GP suddenly lost their brilliance, problems with timing led to delays in announcing final results... Amidst all these accident-induced chaos, Renault driver Alonso managed to edge out Red Bull drivers Vettel and Webber to win the pole position.
The performance of Brown GP in this station left people greatly disappointed. Compared to the stable performance of their biggest rival, Red Bull Racing, the "double Ba" combination's condition was very sluggish. Button, who was atop the driver standings, has completely lost the speed and confidence he had at the start of the season, and could only watch helplessly as drivers who were once easily overtaken by him now overtook him one by one, eventually only securing the eighth position. The other Brown GP driver Barrichello was eliminated early in the second section.
