Although the Polish driver of BMW-Sauber surprised everyone after being the fastest driver in first free practice session, McLaren-Mercedes drivers has won the first and third places in the second session.

The Polish driver needed one minute 22.390 seconds for the 4.384 km course, beating Massa and Raikkonen into second and third place.

But in the second practice session, Fernando Alonso, who won the European Grand Prix in Germany two weeks ago, managed the fastest time with one minute 20.919 seconds.

Behind him, Heikki Kovalainen was slower with only .364 seconds. Lewis Hamilton, Alonso’s team-mate and the current leader of the championship, Lewis Hamilton, ended the session prematurely after slipping off the track, but even in this situation he managed to achieve the third place.

Ferrari’s Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen, have had a disappointing session as they were sixth and seventh-fastest drivers.

The second Renault of Giancarlo Fisichella was followed by the Toyotas of Jarno Trulli and Ralf Schumacher sandwiching Kubica, with the top 11 all within a second of one another.

David Coulthard was 14th for Red Bull Racing, with Anthony Davidson 15th in his Super Aguri and Jenson Button – at the scene of his one and only victory a year ago – down in 16th for Honda.

Sunday’s race at Hungaroring is very important for Fernando Alonso as he is only two points behind his younger team-mate, Hamilton.
