Spain8217;s Fernando Alonso, seeking to become the youngest race winner in Formula One history, put Renault on pole position for Sunday8217;s Hungarian Grand Prix.

The 22-year-old roared to the second pole position of his career, his first coming in Malaysia in March this year, with a lap of one minute 21.688 seconds in final qualifying at the Hungaroring.

He will share the front row with Williams8217;s Ralf Schumacher, who had been due to start 10 places further down the grid before his punishment for causing an accident at the last race was translated into a 50,000 fine.

Ralf was the highest placed title contender but he must start on the dirty side of the track going into a tight first corner.
