| Welcome to F1-Live.com and our live coverage of the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend. Today we have two 90-minute practice sessions, the first of which gets underway shortly. |
| 09:57:33
| The big news since the last Grand Prix at Nurburgring was the McLaren hearing in Paris. The team were found to be guilty of breaching article 151c of the sporting code but were not penalised. The issue is now being taken to appeal by the Italian sporting authorities. |
| 09:58:12
| On track Sebastian Vettel has taken over Scott Speed’s seat at Toro Rosso falling a fall out between the American and the team. Vettel has been released from his testing contract with BMW Sauber. |
| 09:59:20
| Over at Spyker Ferrari and the team has now found a full-time replacement for Christijan Albers. Sakon Yamamoto, formerly of Super Aguri, takes over the tide alongside Adrian Sutil. |
| 10:00:08
| The first practice session is now underway. |
| 10:00:44
| Adrian Sutil and others head out for what will be an installation lap. |
| 10:02:21
| Sutil pits his Spyker Ferrari. As expected it is a bright sunny day at the Hungaroring. |
| 10:03:02
| Hamilton, Vettel and Kovalainen no on installation laps. |
| 10:03:47
| Vettel, now a race driver with Toro Rosso, returns to the pit. |
| 10:04:52
| Mark Webber heads out as Alonso returns to the pits. |
| 10:09:06
| No one on track at the moment. |
| 10:10:02
| Now Rubens Barrichello heads out for his first lap. These laps are all about system checking for the team and driver. |
| 10:10:42
| Sakon Yamamoto is back out in his Spyker. The team selected him for his money and the fact he has a few Grand Prix under his belt. |
| 10:11:18
| Barrichello makes a practice starts in the pit lane. |
| 10:11:55
| A lot of work going on on Sato's Super Aguri Honda. He has completed an installation lap. |
| 10:13:13
| Yamamoto completes the first timed lap of the session. |
| 10:14:10
| Yamamoto's first lap is about 12s off Michael Schumacher's 2004 lap record. |
| 10:14:38
| The Toyota duo of Ralf Schumacher and Jarno Trulli head out. |
| 10:15:02
| Yamamoto shaves 1.3s off his lap time next time around. |
| 10:15:41
| Massa is not yet in his car, but things seem relaxed in the Ferrari garage. |
| 10:17:36
| Trulli and Schumacher pit together. Yamamoto remains on track. |
| 10:18:31
| Yamamoto takes too much kerbing and then runs wide. He continues. |
| 10:20:01
| Nick Heidfeld and Timo Glock are chatting in the BMW Sauber pit. No sign of Heidfeld going out for now. |
| 10:20:59
| Yamamoto continues his long stint as the others all remain in the pit. |
| 10:21:30
| Adrian Sutil is heading out in his Spyker. |
| 10:21:49
| Sutil has proven relatively fast but pretty accident prone. |
| 10:22:37
| The Toyota crew are working on Trulli's brakes. Stopping power is critical at this tight and twisty circuit. The cars all run high downforce for as much grip as possible. |
| 10:22:48
| Yamamoto has pitted. |
| 10:23:32
| The two tyres available this weekend are the super-soft and soft. So far this year the super-soft has only been much use for a qualifying lap and no good for racing. |
| 10:24:59
| Sutil's first lap is a good two seconds faster than Yamamoto, despite wild ride over the kerbing at the end of the lap. |
| 10:26:03
| Vettel heads out in his Toro Rosso as Sutil improves his own best time. |
| 10:29:32
| Vettel posts his first lap time so we have three times set at the moment with one hour remaining in this session. |
| 10:30:46
| Vettel picks up the pace and is now second fastest behind Sutil. |
| 10:32:34
| Liuzzi heads out in the second STR2. Vettel is now fastest. |
| 10:33:10
| Liuzzi runs off track but is able to continue. |
| 10:33:32
| Trulli and Schumacher back on track. |
| 10:34:49
| Liuzzi moves second fastest. Alonso is in his car and ready to go out shortly. |
| 10:35:05
| Webber heads back out for Red Bull. |
| 10:36:15
| The first timed laps from Trulli and Schumacher move them fastest and fifth. |
| 10:36:38
| Schumacher spins his Toyota at the first turn. He keeps the engine running and is able to resume. |
| 10:37:26
| Schumacher turned in too early and had to turn out of the tight right hander and then ran wide and spun. |
| 10:37:57
| Jenson Button moves second fastest. |
| 10:38:16
| Now Webber takes over the second position. |
| 10:38:30
| Lewis Hamilton is now on track in his McLaren. |
| 10:38:48
| Kimi Raikkonen on track. |
| 10:39:14
| Ralf Schumacher vaults to the head of the timesheets. |
| 10:40:30
| Hamilton is on his first flying lap. |
| 10:41:40
| Sure enough, Hamilton moves to the top of the timesheets. Raikkonen's first lap is good for P4. |
| 10:42:10
| Robert Kubica, Alex Wurz and Nico Roisberg head out. |
| 10:42:40
| Ralf Schumacher improves his time but remains second. |
| 10:42:58
| Kubica moves third fastest. |
| 10:43:38
| Raikkonen is following Trulli on track and does not improve on that lap. |
| 10:43:58
| Kovalainen and Fisichella on track for Renault. |
| 10:45:16
| Nick Heidfeld moves fifth fastest. |
| 10:46:52
| Heidfeld improves and is now third fastest, half a second ahead of team-mate Kubica. |
| 10:47:27
| Alonso is now out in his McLaren. |
| 10:47:57
| Raikkonen's first stint is not proving rapid, but it is too early to read much into that. |
| 10:48:32
| Massa heads out for the first time today. |
| 10:50:08
| Hamilton remains in the pits after a short first stint. Alonso is now on a hot lap. |
| 10:50:50
| Fernando Alonso moves fastest on his first timed lap. McLaren are strong this weekend it seems. The tighter circuits suit the car. |
| 10:51:59
| Massa finds traffic on his first lap and backs off. |
| 10:53:02
| Massa moves fifth fastest in his F2007. |
| 10:53:24
| Liuzzi has improved and moved clear of new team-mate Vettel. |
| 10:54:34
| Kovalainen finally records a lap time. He is now 20th in the Renault. |
| 10:56:11
| Kovalainen picks up three positions and is now 17th as Barrichello spins at the first turn. |
| 10:56:44
| A lot of people struggling for grip, but that is traditional at this dusty circuit. |
| 10:58:25
| Most of the front-runners are in the pits. |
| 10:59:35
| Kovalainen moves tenth in his Renault just behind Raikkonen. |
| 10:59:58
| Yamamoto is still slowest but he takes over a second off his own best on that last lap. |
| 11:01:27
| Mark Webber has pulled the Red Bull to a halt. He has a mechanical problem. |
| 11:02:05
| The Red Bull Renault is being pushed back up the pit lane. He had only gone a few metres before it halted. |
| 11:03:05
| Webber is currently 12th fastest. It will probably be a gearbox or hydraulic failure. He catually pulled up at the pit lane exit after completing a lap. |
| 11:03:17
| Heidfeld runs wide at turn two. |
| 11:04:10
| Hamilton, Heidfeld, Kubica, Raikkonen and Fisichella on track. |
| 11:05:22
| Tonio Liuzzi has stopped. Looks the same as Webber! |
| 11:05:57
| The Toro Rosso is being wheeled back up the pit lane. Liuzzi was 18th fastest. |
| 11:06:45
| Hamilton and Alonso on track for McLaren. |
| 11:07:30
| Hamilton moves fastest by three tenths from Alonso. |
| 11:08:51
| Hamilton on another fast lap, as is Alonso. Hamilton runs a bit wide though... |
| 11:09:28
| Alonso takes over the fastest time by nearly three tenths as Heidfeld kicks up some dust. |
| 11:09:40
| Raikkonen is back out and on a fast lap. |
| 11:10:50
| Raikkonen hits traffic. He was on a fast lap and came across Vettel. |
| 11:11:32
| Alonso remains on track, Hamilton and Schumacher in the pits. |
| 11:12:04
| Raikkonen moves third fastest. |
| 11:13:32
| Alonso now joins Hamilton in the pits. |
| 11:14:51
| Nico Rosberg moves ninth fastest. He needs a strong weekend as he is currently in a bit of a mid-season slump in the Williams Toyota. |
| 11:15:33
| Felipe Massa moves fourth in his Ferrari, so now we have the top two teams in the top four positions. |
| 11:16:09
| Massa improves again and is now third fastest. |
| 11:17:07
| Ralf Schumacher is back out in his Toyota. |
| 11:18:20
| Massa (3rd) needs to find three-tenths to challenge Alonso. |
| 11:19:10
| Massa finds a lot more than three tenths as he moves fastest by half a second. |
| 11:19:57
| Ten minutes remain. |
| 11:20:59
| Nick Heidfeld is on track in his BMW Sauber. He is on the super-soft tyre. |
| 11:21:17
| Team-mate Kubica is also out on the softer tyre. |
| 11:21:45
| Heidfeld runs off track at the final turn and still is second fastest. |
| 11:22:05
| Kubica moves fastest ahead of Massa and Heidfeld. |
| 11:22:35
| So we now know the super-soft is as expeted a lot faster. |
| 11:23:09
| Most of the front runners are now on track. |
| 11:24:03
| Heidfeld remains on track, but the softer tyre is now not as grippy as it was on his first lap of the stint. |
| 11:24:44
| Hamilton gets a slide at the penultimate turn. He's still on the older harder tyre. |
| 11:26:33
| Rosberg (13th) is on the soft tyre |
| 11:27:03
| Now Rosberg vaults up to fourth position. |
| 11:28:26
| Raikkonen pits as Massa heads out. |
| 11:29:20
| Raikkonen went straight back out. |
| 11:30:06
| The chequered flag is out. |
| 11:30:21
| Hamilton improves and is third fastest. |
| 11:30:32
| Raikkonen is on a fast lap. |
| 11:30:54
| Raikkonen remains on the harder tyre. |
| 11:31:58
| Raikkonen moves third fastest desite getting stuck behind one of the BMWs. |
| 11:32:22
| It looks like Massa went out after the flag and is now being pushed back to the pit. |
| 11:33:12
| So Kubica is fastest on the soft tyre from Massa and Raikkonen on the hard tyre. Alonso and Hamilton are fourth and fifth on hard tyres ahead of Heidfeld and Rosberg on softs. |
