Saturday Practice Times

This morning's practice was once again dominated by the Ferrari duo of Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello. However, the increased  track temperatures compared to yesterday appeared to benefit both Kimi Raikkonen and Juan Pablo Montoya as they posted the 3rd and 4th fastest times respectively.

Giancarlo Fisichella finished the session 7th quickest, although had it not been for the infamous Hungaroring traffic, a top 5 placing would have been possible.  Takuma Sato's best timed lap put him 17th on the time charts.

Gary Anderson said, "This morning things didn't go quite as smoothly as I'd have liked.  Between the two sessions we made a set-up change on Giancarlo's car which doesn't seem to have proved beneficial.  It would have taken too long to adjust it mid-session but we will change it back for qualifying.  We are finding that there's a graining problem with the tyres but hopefully we can solve that with some more set-up work."
