Round 11 of the 2008 F1 season at the Hungaroring.

Transcript

00:00:00It seems only yesterday the first formula one race behind the former iron curtain took

00:00:05place on a then new track called the hungaro ring.

00:00:09Here we are 23 years later welcoming you to the acura pre-race show for the hungarian

00:00:14round of the formula one world championship, the 2008 hungarian grand prix.

00:00:19Hello again, everyone.

00:00:20I'm bob varsha with steve matchett, david hobbs and peter windsor.

00:00:24Let's get right to the headlines of the weekend with our morning warm-up.

00:00:27David, get us started.

00:00:29Well, mclaren are looking very dominant here covering the front row there.

00:00:33Lewis hamilton on the pole coming off two wins in britain and germany.

00:00:36They did very very well in the tests.

00:00:38They've been a bit up and down this year as everybody does, but they seem to really got

00:00:42us a true note here.

00:00:44On board cameras both drivers look incredibly good and steady.

00:00:47The car looks great and they could be in an absolutely dominant weekend, but racing being

00:00:51racing who knows.

00:00:52Ferrari on the other side seem to be having a bit of a downturn.

00:00:56How about ferrari, steve?

00:00:57Yes, absolutely right.

00:00:59Dominant pace, but ferrari and kimi raikkonen despite wins in malaysia and spain for raikkonen

00:01:05second places in bahrain and france.

00:01:08There's no question that recently kimi raikkonen and ferrari are struggling.

00:01:12Much of that is down to mclaren's dramatic development of ferrari just unable to keep

00:01:16up with the development, but also raikkonen's mental state just seems to have drifted off

00:01:21a little bit.

00:01:22He comes into this race seven points behind the championship leader, but also behind his

00:01:27teammate.

00:01:28Well, for me the great story of the weekend is timo glock.

00:01:31Two weeks ago this was glock, a heavy and frightening backward impact into the wall

00:01:36at the hockenheim ring.

00:01:38He climbed out of the car, clutching his lower back, spent the night in the hospital, but

00:01:42he is back this weekend in hungary, says he's ready to go, went out and proved it in practice

00:01:47and then driving with flair, qualified the best he has ever qualified in formula one.

00:01:53He will start fifth on the grid for the surging toyota team in today's race.

00:01:58Toyota, red bull renault and the williams team locked in a battle for fourth in the

00:02:05constructors championship.

00:02:06Timo glock will have a lot of fans pulling for him today.

00:02:12The cars are on their reconnaissance lap.

00:02:14There's robert kubica.

00:02:15He'll be a big fan favorite.

00:02:17Lots of polish fans here this weekend.

00:02:19There's christian horner, leader of the red bull renault squad.

00:02:22Let's get down to the grid and join peter windsor.

00:02:28Thanks very much, bob.

00:02:29Yes, timo glock, certainly a talking point, but don't forget he also got food poisoning

00:02:33in between that accident in germany and coming here, testing in spain a severe bout of food

00:02:38poisoning.

00:02:39So he deserves that fifth position on the grid, and in some way, timo's qualifying summed

00:02:42up one of the conundrums of this weekend.

00:02:44He'd done a great lap on a used set of harder bridgestones.

00:02:48He put on the new set and went slower.

00:02:49That's a question mark.

00:02:50Everybody's been facing all weekend both the soft and the hard bridgestone not really performing

00:02:56the way people will predict.

00:02:57Is that going to be a factor in the race?

00:02:59Wait and see.

00:03:00The track's certainly going to pick up grip.

00:03:01Equally, it's very, very hot here.

00:03:03The soft tire is going to get a lot of punishment.

00:03:06All right.

00:03:09Thanks very much, peter.

00:03:10Let me correct myself.

00:03:11It is the renault team and not williams locked in that battle for fourth in the constructors.

00:03:15Three teams covered by just two points.

00:03:18As you can see, a beautiful day at the hungaro ring.

00:03:21It's going to be warm, and that will affect tire selection, pit strategy and so much more.

00:03:26But the fans on the hillsides here in three springs valley will love it.

00:03:33Welcome back live to the hockenheim ring.

00:03:35Bob varsha, david hoff, steve matchett and peter windsor glad to be back with you here

00:03:39on speed for formula one action live on sunday.

00:03:43There's sebastian bourdais climbing out of his scuderia toro rosso.

00:03:48He was penalized five places for blocking inadvertently during qualifying.

00:03:52He will start back on the last row for the race.

00:03:56Let's get back down live to the starting grid and rejoin peter windsor.

00:03:59Peter?

00:04:00Thanks very much, bob.

00:04:03Yes, yano truly just getting out of his toyota.

00:04:06We'll have a quick word to yano, I hope.

00:04:08Yano live on speed.

00:04:10Another great qualifying performance from toyota as a team.

00:04:12You must be a little bit disappointed with your own time yesterday.

00:04:15Oh, yeah, definitely with my grid position for sure I could do better, but we had some

00:04:22problem yesterday in my car.

00:04:24I wasn't happy as well with the balance, so I just have to make up some position today.

00:04:30The soft and the hard seems a very unpredictable situation.

00:04:33Certainly was in qualifying.

00:04:34How do you see it panning out in the race now in terms of the temperature and the track

00:04:37rubbering in?

00:04:38Well, certainly won't be an easy decision, so we have to look after the first thing,

00:04:44so we have to look after the first thing, so we have to look after the first thing,

00:35:21so we have to look after the first thing.

00:35:29You are laughing like Kovalainen.

00:35:31Same laugh for Kovalainen.

00:35:34Timo Glock having a great weekend, a great story coming into this weekend

00:35:38after his heavy crash in Germany two weeks ago.

00:35:41Just cleared on Thursday to begin practice on Friday for this race.

00:35:45Now you're on board with Felipe Massa.

00:35:47The running order is Massa, Hamilton nearly three seconds back in the McLaren,

00:35:51then Heikki Kovalainen, then Timo Glock in fourth,

00:35:55Robert Kubica's BMW Sauber fifth, Fernando Alonso sixth,

00:35:58Kimi Raikkonen seventh, followed by Mark Webber, Jarno Trulli,

00:36:01and Nelson Piquet, the top ten.

00:36:03As you watch, Raikkonen and now Kubica.

00:36:06Guys, I've got to believe Lewis Hamilton is three seconds behind Massa

00:36:10asking the McLaren pit wall, what are we going to do?

00:36:13This Ferrari is just flying.

00:36:15Yeah, the last couple of laps, Raikkonen really put in the pressure.

00:36:19On now, onto the Alonso.

00:36:22Onto Alonso, yeah, like seven tenths the last couple of laps.

00:36:25I don't think McLaren were expecting this at all.

00:36:27No, I don't think so either.

00:36:29Because all weekend, all day, Friday, every session,

00:36:32every session and Saturday morning practice,

00:36:34and of course the qualifying yesterday, they looked so dominant.

00:36:38And I don't think they expected Felipe Massa to be running up into the distance like this.

00:36:42As you guys have just said, Massa again just set another fast lap at 21.860.

00:36:49On board with Raikkonen.

00:36:52Hamilton just set his best at 21.9, but the last lap,

00:36:55well, we saw that graphic, he's significantly slower,

00:36:59three tenths plus every lap than Felipe Massa.

00:37:02That's right along with Raikkonen.

00:37:22Formula One gearboxes have to last four races,

00:37:49and nowhere did they take a bigger beating, one might argue, than here.

00:37:52Over 3,500 gear shifts during the course of the race.

00:37:56Wow, and Massa does it again, guys.

00:37:5921.479, another fastest lap.

00:38:02Fastest in all three sectors.

00:38:05Our sector times only go down to a tenth of a second,

00:38:07and looking at Hamilton's times, they're absolutely locked and locked.

00:38:1021.4, 21.6, 29.2, they're all the same.

00:38:14I mean, these two guys are absolutely locked there.

00:38:17Well, he is only 2.8 seconds behind.

00:38:19His teammate now is 5.5 seconds behind Hamilton,

00:38:22and Timo Glock is another 3.5 seconds adrift of Kovalainen.

00:38:26Robert Kubica again as a surprise.

00:38:28The BMW's been looking so strong this year.

00:38:30He's down in fifth spot, losing ground.

00:38:33His last, his best lap was a 22.9, as opposed to how Massa's 21.4.

00:38:38That's a big difference.

00:38:39Oh, boy.

00:38:40I'll tell you what, McLaren now must be just hoping

00:38:43that Massa is running light,

00:38:46because even if Massa's got just a couple of laps more fuel on board now,

00:38:51oh, boy, McLaren are really on the back foot.

00:38:54There are still five laps next time under the flag

00:38:57from the opening of the first pit window,

00:39:00if you're on a two-stop strategy.

00:39:07Looking very smooth, isn't he?

00:39:09Yeah.

00:39:12Look for the brake boards.

00:39:14There's one, there's another.

00:39:15Now he's on it.

00:39:19Oh, ladies.

00:39:22Banzo still holding off.

00:39:24Right, and here's Mark Webber.

00:39:26Oh, listen.

00:39:29This is good, Mark.

00:39:30You're pulling away from Trulia.

00:39:31Three tenths a lap.

00:39:32We can stay ahead of him at the stop.

00:39:36OK, I've got a question.

00:39:38Many years ago, when I ran track,

00:39:40our coach would get us to run better

00:39:42by lying to us about our split times

00:39:44and telling us we're going slower than we actually were.

00:39:47Would somebody on the pit wall ever consider

00:39:50trying to boost a driver's confidence

00:39:52by perhaps telling him he's faster than he is?

00:39:54Well, they always put the drivers under psychological stress

00:39:58by suggesting their drive's on the line, that's for sure.

00:40:01Well, they said he was pulling away at three tenths a lap.

00:40:03That graphic showed him pulling away at just over a tenth,

00:40:05but still and all, he is pulling away from Jarno Trulia,

00:40:08which is what he said to Peter right at the top of the show,

00:40:11that he wanted to make sure he got in front of Jarno Trulia.

00:40:14Of course, those radio broadcasts are not in real time either.

00:40:17It's just a snippet that's clipped out

00:40:19and then put on the world feed.

00:40:24And nowhere is the driver's psychology

00:40:26more critical right now than at Honda,

00:40:28where new team principal Ross Braun has said,

00:40:30we want Fernando Alonso next year.

00:40:32I don't know which of our drivers

00:40:34will leave to make room for him if we can get him.

00:40:37But right now, Rubens is doing a good job.

00:40:40Yes, ominous news for poor old Jenson Button,

00:40:43that by the sound of things.

00:40:45When he says one of our drivers will leave to make room for him,

00:40:48what he really means is the one that we'll have to fire

00:40:50to make room for, right?

00:41:02Lewis Hamilton has pulled his gap back from 3.3 to 2.9.

00:41:06His last lap was two tenths quicker than Massa's.

00:41:09His first sector on the current lap is at 29.

00:41:12It's a purple, so it's the quickest sector of the race so far.

00:41:16So maybe Hamilton's now on a bit of a charge,

00:41:18but he needs to be.

00:41:19Here comes a great corner.

00:41:20Oh, we won't see it right now.

00:41:22Hopefully, we'll get back on that for Turn 5.

00:41:25One of those corners where you go as quick as you dare.

00:41:28Well, Timo Glock back and forth

00:41:30is beginning to pull away from Robert Kubica's BMW Sauber

00:41:34and closing up just a bit

00:41:36on the third-place McLaren Mercedes of Heikki Kovalainen.

00:41:39Stay with us for more Hungary.

00:41:43Welcome back live to the Hungarian Grand Prix here on Speed.

00:41:47I'm Bob Barsha, David Hobbs, Peter Windsor, Steve Matchett.

00:41:50You're watching Timo Glock, who remains in fourth

00:41:53between Heikki Kovalainen and Robert Kubica.

00:41:55Meanwhile, up front, Felipe Massa has laid down another fast lap,

00:41:59a 1.21.355.

00:42:01Behind him, Lewis Hamilton, quicker than anybody else on the racetrack,

00:42:05but he is falling behind the fleeing Massa.

00:42:09Yeah, that gap now up to 3.2 seconds.

00:42:12We are now on lap 16.

00:42:14As you were suggesting earlier on, Bob,

00:42:16that pit window will now open up.

00:42:18It's very close call here

00:42:20for Hungary between a three-stop and a two-stop strategy.

00:42:23Both of those windows will open up around now.

00:42:28Ferrari swings on to the front straight.

00:42:30Let's go to Peter Windsor.

00:42:32And, Bob, one of the deciding factors on a two- or three-stop

00:42:35will be the amount of degradation on the tyres.

00:42:37You've got to say... Yeah, go for it, go for it.

00:42:40You've got to say that for a single-tyre manufacturer,

00:42:42we don't often have a chance to say this,

00:42:44Bridgestone are doing an outstanding job so far

00:42:46because the conditions today are terrible.

00:42:48Very, very hot.

00:42:50This is a very hard circuit on traction and turn-in.

00:42:52And at the moment, touch wood, no real sign of graining anywhere.

00:42:55Fantastic performance.

00:42:57Yeah, it's a very good point you bring up there.

00:42:59Talking to the engineers at the pit lane last night

00:43:01to try and get an idea or a handle

00:43:03on the difference between the tyres,

00:43:05they were still scratching their heads even after qualifying.

00:43:08So there's very, very little to choose between the two.

00:43:11Most engineers suggested that the harder of the two tyres

00:43:15will suffer less graining and a little bit more durable,

00:43:18so that'll be the tyre of choice.

00:43:20But be careful, because if it gets hotter

00:43:23or the track temperature changes,

00:43:25that will change the tyre choice as for the second stint.

00:43:28As we've seen now at the start of the race,

00:43:30only Coulthard, the only driver,

00:43:32sole driver on the softer compound now.

00:43:35Two cars and three world champions in your shot.

00:43:38Fernando Alonso has two, Kimi Raikkonen has one,

00:43:40and he is closing up on Alonso visibly for sixth place.

00:43:44McLaren's in the pit lane.

00:43:46And Ferrari as well.

00:43:48I was just going to say that's bad news for McLaren,

00:43:50but Ferrari are here too.

00:43:52Will they pit together?

00:43:54Here comes Massa from the race lead.

00:43:58Did Hamilton go by?

00:44:00I think he did too.

00:44:02I think that was a dummy run that McLaren showed Ferrari.

00:44:06New set of the prime tyres.

00:44:10And a pretty good load of fuel.

00:44:15It's a narrow pit lane here at the Ongaro Ring.

00:44:18Quick tear off of the visor.

00:44:20It's a narrow track.

00:44:22Here comes Robert Kubica.

00:44:24There's a number of teams now getting ready to set up there.

00:44:26They're coming in, as you say.

00:44:28Kubica now into the pits for BM.

00:44:37Steve, before we saw Felipe come in there

00:44:39and show that he was just that little bit lighter than Lewis,

00:44:42I was going to wonder with you

00:44:44whether to get Lewis out of that situation

00:44:46McLaren might try to short fuel him

00:44:48just to get him some track position.

00:44:50But now that we've seen Felipe come in,

00:44:52I guess McLaren will just stick to their standard strategy now

00:44:54and give Lewis every chance at the moment

00:44:56just to gain track position right now.

00:44:58Yeah, I would agree with that.

00:45:00Now, Hamilton's strategy now

00:45:03must be just to push as hard as possible now

00:45:05to try and open up the gap

00:45:07and make best use of the track position he has.

00:45:09Oh, now we've got a Renault sandwich.

00:45:11Right on Alonso's tail now.

00:45:13And Felipe Massa right in front of Alonso.

00:45:16This is going to slow Alonso down a bit

00:45:18as Massa's now full of fuel.

00:45:20Or slow him down a little bit, maybe.

00:45:22One lap later.

00:45:26Now, how much fuel will they put on him?

00:45:28Will they put in this car?

00:45:30Will they short fuel him?

00:45:32They could to change their strategy with three stops,

00:45:34but it's got to be very quick.

00:45:36No, they're not doing that.

00:45:38More prime tires.

00:45:40They changed the wing on the front too.

00:45:42He may actually have a little more fuel than Massa.

00:45:46And if he comes out behind Raikkonen,

00:45:48there they go.

00:45:50Raikkonen.

00:45:52Oh, boy.

00:45:53Well, it couldn't just be worse.

00:45:55Coming back.

00:45:57And the Ferrari crew knows it.

00:45:59That's true.

00:46:02I think there's about three laps more fuel

00:46:04on board the McLaren right now

00:46:06of Lewis Hamilton than on board Massa's car.

00:46:08So, Lewis, probably about three laps deeper

00:46:10into this second stint of the race.

00:46:12Boy, Hamilton seemed to have speed in hand.

00:46:15In fact, he said as much when talking to Peter

00:46:17in the post-qualifying press conference.

00:46:19He said, I have a little more if I need it.

00:46:21Boy, he needs it now.

00:46:23Boy, doesn't he ever.

00:46:25Because Raikkonen,

00:46:27because we know that Raikkonen and Alonso

00:46:29are heavy.

00:46:31They've probably got another three or four laps

00:46:33left here at least.

00:46:35Well, we're right in that window, David,

00:46:37so it could be any time now.

00:46:39Timo Glock now up into third.

00:46:41Make that second with Hamilton's pit stop.

00:46:43Kovalainen on the lead.

00:46:46And only four cars pitting thus far.

00:46:53Now Glock pits from second.

00:46:55There he is.

00:46:57Boy, having a great run.

00:46:59I mean, what a challenge to a driver's confidence

00:47:01to have a huge rearward impact

00:47:03like he did at Hockenheim.

00:47:05Especially because the car broke.

00:47:07If you make that mistake yourself, it's bad enough.

00:47:09But if the car breaks...

00:47:11Boy, are they having problems with the fuel?

00:47:15Long stop.

00:47:17They have to change hoses.

00:47:19I think they have problems with the fuel hose.

00:47:21He had a pretty good gap

00:47:23on Massa.

00:47:27But certainly not enough.

00:47:31We'll have to see where Glock rejoins.

00:47:35Only man to stop on that lap.

00:47:39He'll probably come out behind his teammate,

00:47:41I should think.

00:47:4348 laps of fuel.

00:47:45With 50 laps to go in the race.

00:47:47He said 138 litres.

00:47:49That seems a lot to me, Steve.

00:47:51Do you think that's right?

00:47:53Or did they adjust that time wrong?

00:47:55I wonder if the switch of the fuel hose

00:47:57caused him to mess up their strategy a little bit.

00:47:59I mean, you wouldn't leave him to run out

00:48:01with two laps to go in the race.

00:48:03Sebastian Vettel pits the Toro Rosso

00:48:05and rejoins.

00:48:07Here comes Kovalainen from the lead.

00:48:09130 odd litres.

00:48:11130 odd litres.

00:48:13It would be over 12 seconds delivery time.

00:48:15So I think they were just calculating that wrong.

00:48:17With the change of the hose.

00:48:19The crews had to change fuel rigs.

00:48:25No change to his wing.

00:48:27Oh, they got problems on the left rear.

00:48:29Are you happy, boys?

00:48:31Well, he did put his hand up.

00:48:33He got his hand up.

00:48:35Boy, that's what happened to

00:48:37Alonso here in 06,

00:48:39when the fuel came off.

00:48:41Right turn 2, he was in the tire wall.

00:48:43A lot of fuel went on board Kovalainen's car.

00:48:45That's Piquet's Renault going by.

00:48:51Kovalainen being very careful,

00:48:53heavy on fuel with fresh tires.

00:48:57Right here is where Alonso went off

00:48:59in that dramatic race a couple of years ago.

00:49:01But that's what we see at the Hungaro Ring.

00:49:03Now, Kimi Räikkönen

00:49:05is shown as stopped on track.

00:49:07There he is, moving though.

00:49:09Being passed by everybody.

00:49:11It's an anomaly of the timing

00:49:13and scoring system, Bob,

00:49:15that if you don't pass the sector times

00:49:17in a predesignated number of seconds,

00:49:19it will flash up the fact

00:49:21that the car has stopped,

00:49:23even if it hasn't.

00:49:25It goes out of whack in a way.

00:49:27We had that same problem in Germany

00:49:29two weeks ago with Kovalainen's McLaren.

00:49:31He's falling back a little bit

00:49:33from that fight

00:49:35between Masa and Alonso.

00:49:45Now Alonso pits,

00:49:47followed by Räikkönen.

00:49:49Masa moves back to the race lead.

00:49:51Let's see what happens

00:49:53to the world champion

00:49:55at his Ferrari pit stop.

00:49:57Boy, I'm sure they're definitely

00:49:59hoping they're going to get out

00:50:01in front of Alonso.

00:50:03It's going to be close.

00:50:05Alonso's moving.

00:50:07Oh, Räikkönen was there.

00:50:09Doesn't get much closer

00:50:11than that.

00:50:13Boy, I know it's the fastest way

00:50:15to do the pit stop,

00:50:17but it's the fastest way

00:50:19I know it's the fastest way

00:50:21to do the pit stop,

00:50:23to let the car down

00:50:25before the refueling is finished.

00:50:27But boy, it makes me very nervous

00:50:29when you let the car down

00:50:31and put it back into the driver's hands.

00:50:33Oh, Räikkönen can have a go here.

00:50:35This is it.

00:50:37If he could do it now,

00:50:39he might be able to pull it off.

00:50:41But if he waits...

00:50:43Yeah, I mean...

00:50:45Okay, we're coming into the spot

00:50:47where you can't pass on Stefan Johansson

00:50:49back in 1989,

00:50:51when the Lion of England passed 12 cars

00:50:53on a track where you supposedly

00:50:55can't pass anybody.

00:50:57Pretty much the same fuel load

00:50:59on these two cars now.

00:51:01We've got two champions,

00:51:03Räikkönen one champion,

00:51:05Alonso with two championships under his belt.

00:51:07But the Renault should be no match for the Ferrari,

00:51:09even considering the problems that Ferrari

00:51:11have had recently.

00:51:13I mean, the Renault has been struggling

00:51:15but it just goes to show

00:51:17how difficult it is to make a move

00:51:19on somebody around here.

00:51:2123 laps in, Jarno Trulli

00:51:23pits from 4th place.

00:51:25So the order is now Masa,

00:51:27Hamilton, Nelson Piquet

00:51:29maybe on a one-stop again this week

00:51:31as he was two weeks ago in Germany

00:51:33where he finished on the podium.

00:51:35So the Leinen will move up to 4th.

00:51:39Oh, there's some revs.

00:51:41Oh, boy!

00:51:43Back up, boys. I'm about to drop the clutch

00:51:45and I don't know what's going to happen.

00:51:51That's Räikkönen going by.

00:51:55Sebastian Vettel

00:51:57pits from 20th and the report

00:51:59is he took him right into the garage.

00:52:01Boy, what a lousy

00:52:03weekend Sebastian Vettel has had.

00:52:05No laps at all on Friday.

00:52:07Well, nine, a handful, four in the morning,

00:52:09five in the afternoon.

00:52:11Before flying laps here between him.

00:52:13Qualified well, though, in 11th.

00:52:15Qualified well in 11th.

00:52:21So it's Masa,

00:52:23Hamilton, Piquet,

00:52:25Kovalainen,

00:52:27Glock, Coulthard, Alonso.

00:52:31What's happened?

00:52:33That's Vettel slowing down.

00:52:35Taking Kimi Räikkönen.

00:52:37Yeah, I thought we'd seen this before.

00:52:39This is what happened to Räikkönen.

00:52:41This is what happened to Räikkönen in the first place.

00:52:43When we saw it stop.

00:52:45When Räikkönen disappeared, yeah.

00:52:47Then Vettel squeezed him out.

00:52:49That'll make old Räikkönen pretty cheesed up.

00:52:51And then does it again. Well, he takes the corner.

00:52:53He tried to let him by.

00:52:55And eventually did, I assume.

00:52:59Räikkönen has it all to do again

00:53:01to pull up on Fernando Alonso.

00:53:03Yeah, but he's

00:53:05fed up with that ING wing right in front of him.

00:53:09There's Vettel in the garage.

00:53:11Oh, Bourdais is in the garage.

00:53:15There's Vettel.

00:53:17Yeah, the driver is standing there.

00:53:19Curse you, font person.

00:53:21We were right.

00:53:23We made a mistake.

00:53:25We thought we made a mistake.

00:53:27We thought we made a mistake, but we were wrong.

00:53:3124 laps in the book.

00:53:3346 to go in the Hungarian

00:53:35Formula One Grand Prix

00:53:37here on Speed. We'll be back.

00:53:41Back live at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

00:53:43Round 11 of 18 in the 2008

00:53:45Formula One season here on Speed

00:53:47with Peter Windsor, David Hobbs, and Steve Matchett.

00:53:49I'm Bob Varsha. You ride with Lewis Hamilton

00:53:51and no sign on the road

00:53:53ahead of the race-leading Ferrari

00:53:55of Felipe Massa.

00:53:57Yeah, timing and scoring has shown that gap

00:53:59to be 2.7 seconds.

00:54:03There he goes around the corner ahead.

00:54:05I think Hamilton

00:54:07should be good to go to around lap 52.

00:54:09Massa to lap 49.

00:54:11So, Hamilton needs to

00:54:13keep on the tail now. He needs to keep

00:54:15that gap down. He doesn't want that gap to go over

00:54:173 seconds at all. He's got to close it down

00:54:19as much as possible, but certainly not

00:54:21anything over 3. The order is Massa,

00:54:23Hamilton, Kovalainen, Bloch,

00:54:25Coulthard, Alonso, and

00:54:27Raikkonen. Nelson Piquet Jr.

00:54:29pitted while we were in break and picked up

00:54:31two positions on the rotation over

00:54:33Giorno Trulli and Robert Kubica.

00:54:35Mark Webber's 11th, then Nick Heifeld,

00:54:37Jenson Button, Rubens Bottichiello,

00:54:39Sebastian Bordet, Nico Rosberg,

00:54:41Kazuki Nakajima,

00:54:43Giancarlo Fisichella, and Adrian

00:54:45Sutil. Sebastian Vettel is out of the race.

00:54:47Peter Windsor.

00:54:49Well, Bob, just to add to the complexity

00:54:51of this race between Felipe Massa and

00:54:53Lewis Hamilton, two guys very evenly

00:54:55matched. This is a fantastic motor race

00:54:57and it's a little bit like Silverstone.

00:54:59Who's quick in Sector 1 usually

00:55:01has to sacrifice a bit of speed in Sector 2,

00:55:03Sector 3. The tyre cannot

00:55:05take being hard for the entire

00:55:07lap. We see here, typically

00:55:09Felipe is slightly quicker on Sector 1.

00:55:11Lewis usually slightly

00:55:13quicker on Sector 2.

00:55:15It is very close and there's a tremendous harmony between

00:55:17these two drivers as well. They are good friends and

00:55:19in the unilateral interview yesterday after

00:55:21qualifying, Lewis just looked across

00:55:23at Felipe and said, how was your lap, mate?

00:55:25And Felipe was completely open with him

00:55:27and Lewis said, that was me, you passed

00:55:29on the out lap. You didn't have a problem, did you?

00:55:31And they were very open with one another. A great

00:55:33relationship between these two drivers and now

00:55:35a great motor race between them.

00:55:37There's David Coulthard. Thanks, Peter. David Coulthard

00:55:39in the Red Bull Renault. Notice the

00:55:41white stripes on the front bridge stones.

00:55:43No sign of them on the rears. That's because

00:55:45he hasn't stopped yet. He is pummeling

00:55:47those super soft

00:55:49option tyres. Apparently on a

00:55:51one-stop strategy. He started

00:55:5313th and he's up to 5th.

00:55:55Yeah, I mean, to do a one-stop

00:55:57strategy around here is almost unheard of,

00:55:59quite frankly. And especially

00:56:01on this tyre in these temperatures.

00:56:03Yeah, exactly. The soft tyres

00:56:05on this track.

00:56:07There's a floor stay

00:56:09loose on the car right there. There's a little

00:56:11titanium floor stay in front

00:56:13of the right rear tyre which attaches

00:56:15the bottom of the floor,

00:56:17the diffuser, up onto the

00:56:19kick-up panel on top of the car.

00:56:21And that is broken loose on the

00:56:23car which will affect to a degree right

00:56:25here. There's a little floor stay you can see

00:56:27and it's come loose at the bottom section. There's broken

00:56:29off. He shouldn't give a great deal

00:56:31of problem. He should be able to continue racing

00:56:33but the problem is that you get

00:56:35vibration on the floor and that'll

00:56:37upset the aerodynamics to a degree.

00:56:39It shouldn't put him out of the race at all.

00:56:41And he'll feel the vibration. Those bodywork

00:56:43vibrations are very severe and he'll think

00:56:45it's something to do with the

00:56:47running gear. He'll almost certainly think he's

00:56:49got either a big flat spot or

00:56:51something that's off

00:56:53his mechanical side.

00:56:55They're hard to tell but boy those

00:56:57aerodynamics can make the car

00:56:59vibrate like...

00:57:01It puts a flutter through the car.

00:57:03Well of course the engineers have the same world feat

00:57:05pictures that the rest of us do so

00:57:07hopefully their engineers have picked up on that as well

00:57:09and they'll be on the radio to Coulthard. Of course

00:57:11Coulthard will be on the radio also if he can feel that

00:57:13saying, you know, can you see anything on the

00:57:15camera? Speaking of

00:57:17David Coulthard, I mean long-time

00:57:19Formula One fans can remember when 100

00:57:21on 3 was a long career. This weekend

00:57:23David Coulthard

00:57:25and Rubens Bottichello become the first

00:57:27pair of active drivers with

00:57:29500 combined starts

00:57:31between them. And speaking of old things

00:57:33don't miss the 35th Rolex

00:57:35Monterey Historic Automobile Races

00:57:37at Laguna Seca in California.

00:57:39Hundreds of amazing

00:57:41historic racing cars

00:57:43and they will be on track running

00:57:45for you to watch and listen

00:57:47to. August 15th to the 17th

00:57:49You can find tickets at

00:57:51montereyhistorics.com or call

00:57:531-800-327-SECA

00:57:55S-E-C-A and we'll see you there

00:57:59I was just trying to see what the guys would

00:58:01do working around the right of the car

00:58:03I'm not sure whether or not they pulled that bodywork

00:58:05to stay clear of the car or not. I couldn't see

00:58:07because there were too many bodies blocking the way

00:58:09but Coulthard now onto the

00:58:11prime tyres, the hard tyres

00:58:13Oh sure he still has one stop

00:58:15Oh these two got together in a crash

00:58:17at Hockenheim

00:58:19The two most experienced drivers

00:58:21in Formula 1

00:58:23I guess

00:58:25well you could have fun with that all day. It was the oldest

00:58:27crash in Formula 1 history

00:58:29or something like that. Well that bodywork

00:58:31stays still flapping around on the red ball chassis

00:58:33so the mechanics didn't cut it loose

00:58:35What do boys learn in 500 starts

00:58:39That's an amazing number

00:58:41That's an amazing number

00:58:45David Coulthard did not

00:58:47take on enough fuel to go the distance

00:58:49so he will have to make another

00:58:51stop

00:58:57Giancarlo Fisichella

00:58:59pits and back out

00:59:01in the Force India Ferrari. Fisichella

00:59:03one of the veterans, rumoured to be

00:59:05racing for his career

00:59:07The team is not terribly happy

00:59:09It is rumoured

00:59:11with Giancarlo Fisichella's application

00:59:23That's what you think when you can

00:59:25About what?

00:59:27The new Batman movie?

00:59:31I suspected

00:59:33Maybe that David Coulthard

00:59:35had radioed in that we didn't hear saying

00:59:37Just as you suggested David

00:59:39There's something wrong with the car

00:59:41Maybe they called him in a little bit

00:59:43early to change the tyres

00:59:45Unaware that that

00:59:47floor stay was a problem. It could well be

00:59:49that David Coulthard wanted to make this a

00:59:51one-stop strategy on those

00:59:53soft tyres and switch to the hard but David

00:59:55came in a little bit too early because

00:59:57he thought he had a problem with the tyres

01:00:01Well I thought DC said

01:00:03have a drink when you can

01:00:05Moving swiftly on

01:00:07What we're not hearing of course is the radio from

01:00:09Felipe Massa and Lewis Hamilton. That's what we

01:00:11really want to hear

01:00:13Really want to hear because then we would know what

01:00:15these two teams actually think about fuel

01:00:17Steve I don't know what you think but I think

01:00:19if we could listen to Lewis' radio

01:00:21now he'd probably be saying

01:00:23Look guys you said you were comfortable at Hockenheim

01:00:25Are you really comfortable that three seconds

01:00:27is enough for me to take the lead in the second stop?

01:00:29That's probably what he's saying. I may be wrong

01:00:31but it's possible. Steve what do you think Massa

01:00:33is saying to his guys? I think Massa

01:00:35is just thrilled to be out there

01:00:37in front of the McLaren in this race quite frankly

01:00:39Earlier on we were suggesting that

01:00:41they didn't want that gap to open up above

01:00:43three seconds. Those seniors that

01:00:45made that first comment is it clicked over in time

01:00:47and it's going to three seconds and now it's up

01:00:49to 3.6 so I'm sure

01:00:51the McLaren engineers are telling Lewis Hamilton

01:00:53you've got to get back on pace with the Ferrari

01:00:55You must close that gap down

01:00:57More pit stops. Nico Rosberg

01:00:59Adrian Sutil have all pitted

01:01:01Jason Funton pits the Honda

01:01:03and Sebastian Bourdais in the Scuderia Toro Rosso

01:01:05Here's your top 8

01:01:07We'll be back in a moment to Hungary

01:01:11Welcome back to Hungary

01:01:13That was a shot of Kaznak Ajima leaving the

01:01:15Williams Toyota pits with fire but not as

01:01:17serious as this fire suffered by

01:01:19Rubens Barrichello in the Honda pit

01:01:21And this is the third fire that we've

01:01:23seen so far. Guys these fellas

01:01:25have got a problem with the refueling equipment

01:01:27and I'm going to put it down to the incredible high

01:01:29This is Bourdais. Keep your eye on Bourdais

01:01:31He has a problem with the fuel hose

01:01:33on fire here. Around here

01:01:35you see them spraying the

01:01:37fire extinguisher onto the car

01:01:39Keep your eyes around here. You'll see it all flash into the car

01:01:41right here. They send Bourdais on

01:01:43his way but it's clear that all

01:01:45this equipment. This is Kaznak Ajima

01:01:47Again keep your eye on the refueling

01:01:49There's another fire

01:01:51but we're not out of the woods yet because

01:01:53Honda as we've just seen, they have a problem

01:01:55too. Now bear in mind

01:01:57that all the refueling equipment is made

01:01:59by Intertechnique. None of the teams

01:02:01are allowed to manufacture the FIA

01:02:03approved equipment so it's all standard

01:02:05stock stuff that can't be modified at all

01:02:07But I'm going to put it down to

01:02:09it's just. I'm going to put it down to

01:02:11a heat problem. It's just so incredibly hot

01:02:13that the tolerances

01:02:15are so tight between the fuel

01:02:17hose and the nozzle on the car

01:02:19that they've just started to jam up

01:02:21You can see the confusion on the team's

01:02:23faces now. What do you want us to do?

01:02:25Boy this is a serious problem. The FIA

01:02:27have got to take a swift look at this and decide

01:02:29what to do about it. Well because

01:02:31the equipment is made by an outside contractor

01:02:33I would imagine nobody in the team really has

01:02:35the expertise to step in there and

01:02:37make whatever provisional repair

01:02:39you might need. Well the mechanics have the ability

01:02:41of course to be able to strip the things

01:02:43down, service and repair them but they're not allowed

01:02:45to modify them in any way

01:02:47I mean, you know, talking from

01:02:49personal experience back when I was racing

01:02:51we've had that problem when Benetton removed

01:02:53the filter

01:02:55from the rig thinking that they had permission

01:02:57to do so. But you're not allowed

01:02:59to do that and after the fire that we had

01:03:01at Hockenheim in 94

01:03:03they absolutely stamped it very clear

01:03:05the FIA say the teams will not

01:03:07in any way modify the equipment

01:03:09at all and it has been written in stone

01:03:11ever since

01:03:17The tyre belt on board now has not

01:03:19stopped yet. He's the only guy that hasn't

01:03:21stopped but he's still only up to 11th

01:03:23in spite of that so a little bit

01:03:25off the pace. His team mate Robert Kubica

01:03:27has stopped but he's only a couple of spots

01:03:29in front of him. So Robert Kubica has dropped from

01:03:314th on the grid to 9th in the race

01:03:33again BMW not having a very happy

01:03:35weekend. And now we're

01:03:37coming into that area where we've

01:03:39already lapped down to 14th and Massa

01:03:41is going to start running for traffic soon

01:03:43and obviously that has got to go

01:03:45in his favour although he now has a four

01:03:47second lead over Lewis Hamilton so

01:03:49the Ferrari showing an incredible

01:03:51turn of the pace here

01:03:53in this race. At least Massa's Ferrari

01:03:55Raikkonen is still 6th

01:03:57within a second of Fernando Alonso but

01:03:59unable to get by

01:04:03Getting back to that fuel situation in case

01:04:05you think a little spilled fuel fire is not a big

01:04:07deal. Those rigs are

01:04:09pressurised and they're meant to deliver fuel

01:04:11at 3 litres per second

01:04:1312 litres per second?

01:04:1512 litres per second yeah

01:04:17It's about 3 gallons

01:04:19a second. So you're right, there's a few, yeah

01:04:2112 litres a second

01:04:23And that fuel fire that Benetton had in

01:04:2594 was caused by just a quarter

01:04:27of a second. I mean it was a massive

01:04:29fireball. It was a quarter of a

01:04:31second of fuel flow so they are

01:04:33incredibly dangerous things

01:04:35Look at the way that

01:04:37Kovalainen is being dropped by his

01:04:39teammate. Kovalainen's last lap was

01:04:41a 23.4. Hamilton's

01:04:43was a 22.2 and Massa's was

01:04:45a 22.2. Massa and Hamilton

01:04:47the only two guys in the 22s

01:04:49and everybody else is in the 23s

01:04:51right down from

01:04:53Timo Glock

01:04:55right down to Jenson Button in 13th spot

01:04:57Well Kovalainen lost ground to

01:04:59his teammate ahead of him. He was also

01:05:01being caught up by Timo Glock

01:05:05at a pretty prodigious rate

01:05:07Peter Windsor

01:05:09Oh yes Bob, I was going to add to that

01:05:11Timo Glock has reduced what was a

01:05:13seven second gap to Heckey just

01:05:15after the pit stops down to four seconds

01:05:17Having said that, on that last lap he lost

01:05:19half a second to Kovalainen so the gap's

01:05:21back to five seconds but Timo Glock going

01:05:23really well in that Toyota

01:05:29Another shot here of Kovalainen going through that

01:05:31chicane at the top of the hill

01:05:36I must say that I thought

01:05:38we were looking for a McLaren 1-2

01:05:40this weekend

01:05:43Baymassa just absolutely

01:05:45gripped the whole thing by the throat

01:05:47he's done a magnificent job

01:05:49unlike his teammate Kimi Räikkönen

01:05:53There's Timo Glock, pit stop

01:05:55More problems, yes

01:05:57This is the first one

01:05:59we saw there where they had to switch rigs

01:06:01We're doing a little montage now of

01:06:03fuel rig problems but wow

01:06:07You can see how important it is to be right

01:06:09there with that fire extinguisher

01:06:14Oh, wow

01:06:18That's going to grab your attention

01:06:24We're just discussing contracts, we have to do this?

01:06:30Well, anybody who saw your Benetton fire

01:06:33in that German Grand Prix, Steve

01:06:36Oh, it's a frightening thing and all the teams

01:06:38have been worried about it ever since

01:06:40You have nightmares about it

01:06:42Peter Windsor

01:06:44Bob, I was only going to add

01:06:46we were talking at the start of the show about

01:06:48KERS for next year, can you imagine what this situation

01:06:50would be like if we had those big lithium KERS

01:06:52batteries in there as well?

01:06:54Well, those are the incidents you talked about

01:06:56in your lead up to those interviews with people

01:06:58about the KERS technology

01:07:00It's the Red Bull team that had to evacuate

01:07:02their team base because of a fire

01:07:04while crewmen were dealing with

01:07:06the R&D batteries

01:07:08and then the BMW Sauber team

01:07:10went off to test their system

01:07:12The car pulled into the pit lane

01:07:14one of the mechanics reached over to push it

01:07:16in the garage and got an electrical shock

01:07:18that knocked him several feet away

01:07:20and he spent the night in the hospital

01:07:24So it is a tricky and somewhat dangerous

01:07:26area of R&D that Formula 1

01:07:28is getting into

01:07:32In the name of environmental friendliness

01:07:34We'll take a break and return

01:07:36We'll take a break and return

01:07:38Right now it is Masa by 4.3 seconds

01:07:40over Luz Hamilton

01:07:42We'll be back

01:07:46Through the final corner and onto the front straightaway

01:07:48to complete lap 40

01:07:52We arrive with Felipe Masa

01:07:54on the map, on the left of your screen

01:07:56you see the relative positions of Masa, Hamilton

01:07:58and Kovalainen, the top three cars

01:08:00here in the Hungarian Formula 1 Grand Prix

01:08:02on speed

01:08:04And Peter Windsor on Bob Marcia

01:08:06The order is Masa, Hamilton, Kovalainen

01:08:08Then Timo Blach

01:08:10doing sterling work this weekend

01:08:12for Toyota. Fernando Alonso

01:08:14and Kimi Raikkonen continue their personal

01:08:16battle in 5th and 6th

01:08:18Nelson Piquet, 7th, and another good run

01:08:20by a rookie driver, Jarno Trulli is 8th

01:08:22Robert Kubica, 9th

01:08:24Mark Webber, 10th, then Nick Heidfeld

01:08:26in the second BMW Sauber, David Coulthard

01:08:28has dropped back to 12th

01:08:30Jensen Button, followed by

01:08:32Kazuki Nakajima, and then you've got

01:08:34four cars running very close together

01:08:36Nakajima, Fisichella, Rosberg, and Bordet

01:08:38and Adrian Sutil

01:08:40and the other four, Sandia Ferrari, pulling up

01:08:42Hamilton off at the top of the hill

01:08:48Something wrong, that left front is flat

01:08:50Oh it's flat, it is flat

01:08:54Get ready boys, get up, get up, and get out there

01:08:56Punctured left front

01:08:58The world championship leader

01:09:00coming in

01:09:02Oh boy

01:09:04There goes his teammate

01:09:06Kovalainen will move by in the second

01:09:08in replay

01:09:10It's already flat before he went wide

01:09:12here at the 6th corner

01:09:16Well if Lewis is capable of getting the car

01:09:18back to the pits

01:09:20which he should be able to do without

01:09:22any big suspension damage

01:09:24Remember he did it in Turkey last year

01:09:26Seven seconds of fuel will get him the rest of the way

01:09:28but boy oh boy, he's losing so much time now

01:09:30as a result of this

01:09:32This could be the world championship right here

01:09:34Like it was in Turkey last year really

01:09:38He's got to be so careful now

01:09:40That thing comes off

01:09:42or unwinds

01:09:44He made the pit in

01:09:50You can be sure the fans in that front stretch grandstand

01:09:52will take note

01:09:54The championship leader is in

01:09:56So it's Massa, Kovalainen, Glock moves up

01:09:58to the third and final podium position

01:10:00Fernando Alonso

01:10:02up into 4th

01:10:06Kimi Raikkonen will be 5th, Nelson Piquet 6th

01:10:14Oh, now of course he's got to do

01:10:16a long stint

01:10:18on the option tyre

01:10:20Here comes Nick Heidfeld for his one stop

01:10:24from 11th

01:10:28Hamilton rejoins, there's Mark Webber

01:10:30who, excuse me, David Coulthard

01:10:32in the other red bull

01:10:34Yeah, the last thing Hamilton wants now

01:10:36is to get stoked beyond that red bull

01:10:38So Hamilton rejoins 11th

01:10:40Now let's have a look at it

01:10:52Lewis Hamilton had just gone purple

01:10:54in sector 3

01:10:56before beginning this lap

01:10:58and down in turn 1

01:11:00he saw the tyre just mushroom up

01:11:02Oh boy, I mean that just couldn't be worse

01:11:04The whole lap on a flat tyre

01:11:06So that's going to cost him

01:11:08Keep it off the gravel

01:11:10He did a good job there

01:11:12and if you try too hard of course

01:11:14the temptation to rush back

01:11:16but of course then the thing will come unraveled

01:11:20Here's Ron Dennis

01:11:22Mansour Ojeh

01:11:24two of the partners in McLaren

01:11:26and you can almost see it in the body language

01:11:28of the crew

01:11:30Lewis, what are you doing?

01:11:32Oh, you've got a problem

01:11:34Meanwhile, Timo Glock

01:11:36newly arrived in 3rd place

01:11:38just turned in

01:11:40the fastest lap in the field

01:11:42that last time by

01:11:44a 21.671

01:11:46well quicker than

01:11:48Massa or Kovalainen ahead of him

01:11:50Yeah, there's only one guy that's running in the 21s

01:11:52and that's Glock

01:11:54He's only 4 seconds behind Kovalainen now

01:11:56Massa 22.2

01:11:58Kovalainen 22.3

01:12:00and then Glock 21.6

01:12:02A couple of laps ago

01:12:04he just set the fastest 3rd sector time of the race

01:12:06There it is

01:12:0810th place with Heidfeld's pit stop

01:12:10and as you just saw

01:12:12Lewis Hamilton is trying hard

01:12:14locking up that left front

01:12:18which may have been the kind of driving

01:12:20that contributed to that

01:12:22failure of the left front tyre

01:12:24We'll take a break

01:12:26a dramatic turn in both the Hungarian

01:12:28Grand Prix and the World Championship

01:12:32Back in Hungary moments ago

01:12:34this was race leader Felipe Massa's

01:12:36second stop for Ferrari

01:12:38I think what

01:12:40they're doing here, I think Ferrari have pit him in

01:12:42early, we have a

01:12:44Massa with about 4 laps more fuel on board

01:12:46and I think what they're doing

01:12:48is playing cautious here just in case

01:12:50of a safety car, they have such a lead now

01:12:52that to prevent

01:12:54Hamilton closing up in case

01:12:56of a safety car period and putting Hamilton

01:12:58in the pound seats

01:13:00because he has refueled to go the rest of the distance

01:13:02I think Ferrari just called him

01:13:04in early to get rid of that

01:13:06Just covering Hamilton's possible moves

01:13:08Kovalainen you just saw going out of your picture

01:13:10moves into the race lead

01:13:12Massa re-enters the track

01:13:14in 2nd just ahead of Timo Glock

01:13:162007

01:13:18GP2 champion

01:13:20really putting a stamp

01:13:22on this race for Toyota

01:13:24Having a great run, I mean he just

01:13:26doing very very quick laps

01:13:28Still doing quick laps

01:13:30Consider he's had 3 heavy crashes

01:13:32thus far this year

01:13:34Very rugged debut with Toyota

01:13:36Although he's not

01:13:38technically a rookie, he's in his 15th

01:13:40Formula 1 start

01:13:42And you're on board with him

01:24:14Back live to the Hungarian Grand Prix on Fox, you see Nelson Piquet making his final stop.

01:24:24Moments ago, Jarno Trulli made his final stop and dropped out of the top six.

01:24:30Piquet rejoins, Trulli coming around now, this is the two, the two guys we were waiting

01:24:36to stop have, and they come out as close together as they could possibly be.

01:24:40Piquet hip-jabbed you there, coming out of turn one.

01:24:43He said, I watched Lewis Hamilton do this to Felipe Massa two weeks ago in Germany,

01:24:48I can use the whole racetrack.

01:24:52So, the order right now is Massa, Kovalainen, Glock, Raikkonen, Alonso, Hamilton, and then

01:25:02Piquet and Trulli, and Trulli is truly irritated.

01:25:08Here it is again.

01:25:11I mean, this is a good go to legitimate pass, but by the same token, Nelson Piquet had every

01:25:18right to use all the road there.

01:25:20Here we see it from the outside, it was a very fast entry, something he wouldn't be

01:25:23able to maintain the momentum, he'd have to give up a little bit, but Piquet wasn't having

01:25:27any of it.

01:25:29Well, that was a very good pass there.

01:25:32And David, do you not think it crossed Nelson's mind what Giano did to him on the second lap

01:25:37of the race, when he just darted out from the toe and got him at turn one, exactly that

01:25:41corner.

01:25:42I think there was a bit of payback there from Nelson.

01:25:44Absolutely, Nelson Piquet, that was a very clean bit of driving by both drivers.

01:25:49And Nelson defended, and defended well.

01:25:54So here we go, with 15 laps to go.

01:25:58Coming up tonight here on Speed, step into the wind tunnel with Dave Despain, everybody

01:26:03has an opinion, or rightly so.

01:26:05Tonight, Tim Sindrick from Penske Racing steps into the tunnel to give you a different perspective

01:26:10on running multiple racing teams.

01:26:12Don't miss it, wind tunnel tonight, 9pm Eastern, live on Speed.

01:26:21On board with Timo Glock, looking for a podium finish here in Hungary.

01:26:25That would be the first, his first career podium, equaling Toyota's 2005 result here

01:26:31with Ralf Schumacher.

01:26:33Well, this will be a tremendous result, both Glock and the team, remember, Trulli's down

01:26:37there in eighth, there's another point for him.

01:26:39Well, of course, this track is a real mechanical grip track, you've got to have good traction,

01:26:43you've got to have good mechanical grip, and it's obvious that Toyota are getting closer.

01:26:47I mean, this is not a fluke, I mean, they've done very, very well.

01:26:51So the car's obviously good around here now, they need a bit of aerodynamic help.

01:26:55There's so many great stories coming out of this race, not only Glock, but Felipe Massa,

01:26:59as I mentioned, never finished in the top six on this track in five previous starts

01:27:03right now.

01:27:04He is in line for a dominant victory.

01:27:07Heikki Kovalainen looking for his first podium since the Malaysian round nine races ago,

01:27:11and on the downside, what has happened to BMW Sauber?

01:27:15This was the race where Robert Kubica came into the Formula One world with a bang a year

01:27:19ago, and though the car was just a couple of pounds underweight, he was robbed of that

01:27:24podium finish two years ago.

01:27:28Today, they just seem lost.

01:27:30Kubica currently ninth, Heidfeld eleventh, and this is the team that is second in the

01:27:34constructors' championship.

01:27:38Yeah, things are not going their way in this second stage of the season.

01:27:42As we said before, you know, the rate of development from the other teams has affected them,

01:27:46and Toyota, as we've just been saying, they are taking the fight to BMW for best of the rest now.

01:27:55If they miss out on the points, and that's the way they're running right now, it would

01:27:59be the first time in 28 races that BMW Sauber has not had at least one car in the points.

01:28:09This, of course, will be a heck of a setback for Lewis Hamilton's world championship quest,

01:28:15there's no doubt about it.

01:28:16They thought they were going to clean up here.

01:28:18Obviously, the next race is a complete unknown.

01:28:20Valencia in Spain in three weeks' time.

01:28:24So that's going to be an interesting battle there.

01:28:27But in all the testing in the last two races, McLaren have looked very dominant, but Felipe

01:28:31Massa, at least Felipe Massa, has looked very, very good in this race.

01:28:35Incredibly good.

01:28:36And, you know, it just makes you wonder how much of the swings and roundabouts has it

01:28:41been a McLaren resurgence or a temporary lapse for Ferrari.

01:28:47How about that battle for fourth place in the Constructors' Championship?

01:28:50I talked about Toyota, Red Bull and Renault.

01:28:52Toyota has two cars in the points, as does Renault.

01:28:55Red Bull, Renault has none.

01:28:59No, they've had a disappointing day too.

01:29:00Weber down in 10th, Guttal in 12th.

01:29:03On board now with Felipe, there he is.

01:29:08I would say that with just 12 laps to go, he's just cruising along there.

01:29:1411 seconds in front of Kovalainen.

01:29:20It does seem an extraordinary turnaround of fortunes for Ferrari because, you know, as

01:29:25you were saying there, going into this race, it was certainly McLaren were looking very

01:29:30strong and even in practice and qualifying.

01:29:33You know, with Massa saying, as Peter was suggesting earlier on, I just made a mistake.

01:29:37That was the time difference.

01:29:39I'm just not happy with the balance of the car.

01:29:41And as soon as the last guy in the race gets underway, he's just shot into the distance

01:29:45like a potential champion.

01:29:47Well, he will move into the championship lead, as you just saw.

01:29:50As they run right now, Massa will move into the lead by three points over Hamilton, who

01:29:56will have a five-point gap over Kimi Raikkonen, who will have an eight-point margin over Robert

01:30:02Kubica in fourth.

01:30:04And the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari will pad their lead.

01:30:08McLaren will leapfrog over BMW Sauber into second.

01:30:12And Toyota will take sole possession of fourth place.

01:30:20It's an opportunity to enjoy Felipe Massa and the Ferrari.

01:30:26Oh, Timo, wait, wait, wait.

01:30:27You've got this podium to go collect.

01:30:30Yes.

01:30:31Don't lose those points now.

01:30:32Don't toss it now.

01:30:33Not after all this work.

01:30:39So, 11 laps to go in the Hungarian Grand Prix.

01:30:43Round 11 of the 2008 Formula 1 season.

01:30:46We'll be back in just a moment.

01:30:51Welcome back to the Hungarian Grand Prix.

01:30:53You're watching the man who is fastest on track right now, Kimi Raikkonen, fourth place

01:30:57in his Ferrari.

01:30:58But he just set the first fast lap we've seen since lap 16.

01:31:03But that's a little early for Raikkonen.

01:31:05Last year, he prevented Lewis Hamilton from taking the grand slam of pole leading every

01:31:10lap victory and fast lap when Raikkonen scored fast lap of the race on the very last lap

01:31:16of the race.

01:31:17Well, Kimi Raikkonen is absolutely flying along.

01:31:21Every lap now is well into the 21s.

01:31:23He's only five seconds behind Timo Glock.

01:31:25He is determined in the next nine laps to try and nail down that final podium spot.

01:31:31And he's just driving incredibly.

01:31:33Where the heck has he been all the rest of the weekend?

01:31:36If Raikkonen holds on to it, it'll be his seventh fast lap in the last eight races.

01:31:41He was going for a record time seventh in a row in Germany two weeks ago.

01:31:45But he was nipped by Nick Heidfeld.

01:31:47Well, another fast lap for Raikkonen, guys.

01:31:50Yeah, 1.21.195 with nine laps to go.

01:31:54And look at it.

01:31:55Massa's pace is well up front.

01:31:57I mean, he's leading now by 9.6 seconds, but he's running now in the 23s.

01:32:02Well, the force India car is moving slowly.

01:32:05That's a brake failure.

01:32:07A brake failure or a rotor wind.

01:32:09You know, I was just about to say, looking at the way that Massa's pace dropped off at the last Grand Prix,

01:32:15and we understand that was down to rear brake problems.

01:32:18Looking at Massa's pace throughout the whole of the race,

01:32:20I wonder whether or not Massa is once again nursing problems with the brakes around here.

01:32:25Because 9.6 seconds is not a great, great safety margin.

01:32:29But I tell you, Massa now is in the 23s.

01:32:31The fellas behind him are all running 22s.

01:32:34Kovalainen, Glock and Raikkonen's down in the 21s.

01:32:37And Hamilton is consistently in the high 22s.

01:32:42He's nothing like as quick as Alonso.

01:32:44I don't understand why Hamilton with those tyres and the way that car's been going all weekend.

01:32:49I just don't know what they've done for their race setup.

01:32:52But Kimi Raikkonen now.

01:32:54There's Timo Glock just ahead.

01:32:57He just did a 21.195.

01:32:59His last three laps have been his fastest laps.

01:33:02I mentioned he did the fastest lap of the race on the last lap last year.

01:33:06This is a bit of a habit for Kimi.

01:33:08At Hockenheim two weeks ago, he set his fastest lap on the next-to-last lap of the race.

01:33:14He just seems to come alive at the end.

01:33:16Maybe he's worried about missing the flight home.

01:33:21Timo Glock now must be getting just a little bit nervous.

01:33:25He's only just two or three seconds behind Timo Glock, and he was about eight.

01:33:35Boy, oh boy, what a season we've had in Formula 1.

01:33:38If the current standings hold and Felipe Massa moves to the race lead,

01:33:42it'll be the sixth different race championship leader we've had.

01:33:47Sixth change of championship leader in 11 races.

01:33:55Steve, one other aspect of Kimi's performance perhaps we should look at

01:33:58is that maybe he just does a better job than most on the softer of the two Bridgestone tyres.

01:34:03We know Ferrari have been talking all year about getting the hard tyre.

01:34:08We have a radio transmission for Timo Glock.

01:34:12And it was a beauty.

01:34:17But no, just to finish what I was saying there,

01:34:20we know that Ferrari have had a problem getting the hard tyre to work

01:34:23and maybe the way Kimi drives is slightly less aggressive

01:34:26with all the functions in the steering and the throttle.

01:34:29Massa can get a little bit more out of the hard tyre,

01:34:31but on the soft tyre, Kimi comes into his own.

01:34:34There's Mike Gascoigne, the technical director at the Force India team.

01:34:37He had a close look at Adrian Sutil's brakes.

01:34:40Well, what we thought was a brake problem was the fact that his right front tyre was flat.

01:34:48I think he just made a massive lock-up.

01:34:51Maybe so.

01:34:54There goes Timo Glock and here comes Kimi.

01:34:57He's Kimi Räikkönen and he's not the sort of guy you want coming up behind you.

01:35:03We'll take one more break and then take you all the way to the chequered flag.

01:35:06Glock versus Räikkönen for the final podium position in Hungary.

01:35:13Back live at the Hungaro Ring.

01:35:16Five laps remaining.

01:35:17There is Kimi Räikkönen and just ahead of him, the third place Toyota of Timo Glock.

01:35:23Buckling his way to hopefully a podium finish here in Hungary.

01:35:35Of course, for Kimi Räikkönen, finding Timo is one issue.

01:35:38Passing Timo is another.

01:35:42Well, you know, we don't know what Timo is like under extreme pressure.

01:35:45And when you've got someone like Kimi Räikkönen breathing down your neck, that is serious pressure.

01:35:51It looks like Adrian Sutil will take the Force India car to the garage.

01:35:56I'm amazed he came back out after what looked like a pretty significant mechanical issue.

01:36:02I'm also a little surprised they take those just red hot race cars straight into the garage.

01:36:12Four laps to go for race leader Felipe Massa.

01:36:16Heikki Kovalainen 6.7 seconds back in second place.

01:36:21Timo Glock in third.

01:36:23And Kimi Räikkönen just behind him, as you watch.

01:36:25Then Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton, Nelson Piquet and Jarno Trulli fill out the points.

01:36:30Well, if Kimi Räikkönen gets around Timo Glock, that will add a huge amount of points to the championship total for the Ferrari team, too.

01:36:39With a first and a third, boy, they'll really pull ahead of McLaren.

01:36:44Look at the lap times between Glock and Räikkönen on that last lap.

01:36:47It's just three one-thousandths of a second between them and they're absolutely lost there.

01:36:51Unbelievable.

01:36:53There's Adrian Sutil.

01:36:55Yeah, great show.

01:37:00So, David, if you're driving Kimi Räikkönen's car now and you're hunting down Glock around the Hongaro ring, what do you do?

01:37:05Where do you make the move?

01:37:06Well, you've just got to keep easing up with him and you've got to get right behind him as you come out of that turn 14.

01:37:12Because going down into that turn one is really the place to get him.

01:37:17And he keeps moving up on...

01:37:20It's no good making a great job of these top-of-the-hill corners because you can't do anything with him.

01:37:26But here he comes into turn 12.

01:37:28He can get through turn 12 and 13 and stay right on Glock's tail.

01:37:32And as he goes through 14, try and get a tow down the straight and get him into turn one.

01:37:37Both cars.

01:37:38Masa, the race leader, has lost the engine in the Ferrari.

01:37:44There's the podium that Masa will not see.

01:37:47Well, you know, I was just saying earlier on about that gap.

01:37:50It didn't seem to be a very comfortable lead.

01:37:52And was he potentially nursing a problem?

01:37:54It looks to me, guys, like that's exactly what he was doing.

01:37:57He was trying to mask a problem, overheating problem on the car.

01:38:01Oh, with three laps to go.

01:38:03Unbelievable.

01:38:05Awful.

01:38:06Oh, my gosh.

01:38:07Oh, Felipe Masa just can't do...

01:38:10Get it right here at Hungaroring.

01:38:13And this is obviously nothing to do with him, obviously.

01:38:15Look at the fluid pool of oil underneath.

01:38:17Oh.

01:38:18Back in 97, Damon Hill had, of all cars, the arrows in position to take its first-ever Formula One win here in Hungary.

01:38:26And the car failed him with a lap to go.

01:38:29This is that kind of heartbreak.

01:38:31Oh, goodness me, how he must be feeling.

01:38:35Oh, my gosh.

01:38:37Well, Masa will not get a victory, but behind him, Heikki Kovalainen is now in position to get his first career win.

01:38:45What a great drive, too.

01:38:47The start, just absolutely brilliant.

01:38:51Well, over the years, McLaren and Ferrari have dominated on this racetrack on the two occasions in the last dozen years or so when they didn't.

01:38:59It was because somebody came through with one of those Hungarian surprises I talked about.

01:39:03Fernando Alonso took his first win here.

01:39:06Jenson Button took his first and, thus far, only win here.

01:39:09And now, Heikki Kovalainen, his joy is Masa's heartbreak.

01:39:14Kovalainen is in position to win.

01:39:17But he's got two laps to go yet.

01:39:19Bob, don't tell me anything could happen here.

01:39:21As you talk about, it could be a real surprise that Timo Glock could win it.

01:39:27And Raikkonen has suddenly dropped off the pace.

01:39:30Big time. Raikkonen's last lap was at 25 as opposed to...

01:39:33He's suddenly four and a half seconds behind him.

01:39:35That's right. I don't want to be...

01:39:36As opposed to just a couple of tenths behind him.

01:39:38So maybe he's been told to dial it back, sunshine.

01:39:41I'm not going to do a Lee Diffie here and give somebody the victory before the flag.

01:39:45Oh, wow.

01:39:47Heikki Kovalainen and McLaren, they must be...

01:39:50What on earth has just happened to us?

01:39:53BMW now back in the points, too.

01:39:57What an amazing race.

01:39:58And as you guys were saying, Raikkonen dialing it back.

01:40:02I'm sure about that.

01:40:03I'm sure they would have been on the radio, too, from the pit wall saying,

01:40:06Kimi, dial it back.

01:40:08He's now, what, four and a half seconds behind Glock.

01:40:12Well, you'll hear from...

01:40:14You'll hear from Masa tonight on the speed report.

01:40:17It's a shame we don't get to hear from any but the top three finishers

01:40:22in the post-race press conference.

01:40:24It might be just my eyes deceiving me, guys, but we missed the shot.

01:40:27The corner, the left front corner of the car.

01:40:30It looked very odd, didn't it?

01:40:31Yeah, it did seem to be moving a lot more than is normal.

01:40:36I can't say I saw anything broken on there,

01:40:38but it seemed to have a lot of roll in the chassis.

01:40:43Now, there he comes in the front.

01:40:46On screen right.

01:40:52It doesn't look right.

01:40:53I wonder whether or not the roll bar, David,

01:40:55the sway bar's broken, maybe.

01:40:58Or damper's given up, probably.

01:41:00Shock absorber's given up.

01:41:02There's something not right with the left front of the Ferrari.

01:41:07He's got Lion's heart in his mouth.

01:41:11Yeah, that gap now between Raikkonen and Glock is up to 6.2.

01:41:15So now Raikkonen is just holding on, hoping, just hoping, hoping

01:41:19to cross the finish line with this car.

01:41:21Hamilton not going to be able to get around Alonso.

01:41:24He's still two seconds behind.

01:41:26So Timo Glock is going to end up second.

01:41:29What a day for GP2 drivers, Kovalainen and Glock.

01:41:37Well, a few races ago in the British Grand Prix,

01:41:40he picked up his first career Formula One pole.

01:41:43And now, in the most unlikely way, unless you're in Hungary,

01:41:47Heikki Kovalainen is the surprise winner of the Hungarian Grand Prix.

01:41:54Amazing.

01:41:55And with that, he becomes the 100th different driver

01:41:59to score a victory in Formula One.

01:42:04Timo Glock, second for Toyota.

01:42:07Kimi Raikkonen brings the Ferrari home third.

01:42:11Fernando Alonso will be surprised to know he's in fourth place.

01:42:15Lewis Hamilton comes back to fifth.

01:42:18Nelson Piquet, back-to-back points, finishes for Renault

01:42:22in Germany and here in Hungary.

01:42:24Jarno Trulli will make it two Toyotas in the points in seventh.

01:42:28And unofficially, Robert Kubica will salvage a little bit of honor

01:42:32for BMW Sauber with the eighth and final point.

01:42:40Well done, Heikki, mate.

01:42:41Well done. Absolutely brilliant job there.

01:42:43Fantastic.

01:42:44Well, a lot of hard work has gone into that one, Heikki.

01:42:46Well done.

01:42:48You don't have that trouble at the end, but this time it worked for us.

01:42:51Fantastic.

01:42:55Welcome to the world of winning, Heikki.

01:42:59First of many.

01:43:00Well-deserved win.

01:43:07Well, Heikki Kovalainen, who was confirmed for 2009

01:43:11as Lewis Hamilton's teammate at McLaren Mercedes this week,

01:43:14has had to endure an awful lot of questions about being the number two guy.

01:43:18And maybe he is at McLaren Mercedes.

01:43:21But today, it's his turn to shine in the sunlight

01:43:25as a Formula One Grand Prix winner.

01:43:28We'll be back to hear from him and see the podium.

01:43:34Back in Hungary as winner Heikki Kovalainen

01:43:38pulls his McLaren Mercedes into the pit lane

01:43:41after an amazing day.

01:43:44Just as we were all getting puffed up to salute Felipe Massa on Ferrari's comeback,

01:43:49the Ferrari failed the Brazilian,

01:43:52and Kovalainen gets his first win.

01:43:55And spare a thought for this guy, Timo Glock,

01:43:57who left the Hockenheimring in Germany two weeks ago

01:44:00in the back of an ambulance,

01:44:02qualified fifth,

01:44:04and now picks up his first career podium in second place.

01:44:09Yeah, good run, but Timo Glock drove well all weekend.

01:44:12It certainly was not a fluke.

01:44:14He qualified right up there near the front and drove a great race

01:44:17and managed to hold off Raikkonen,

01:44:19although Raikkonen suddenly slowed up towards the end.

01:44:21Maybe he thought he had a problem.

01:44:23A lot of Finns here in Hungary.

01:44:26There's a Finnish discount airline

01:44:30that makes a lot of trips to Budapest.

01:44:32So there's a lot of Finns, a lot of Finnish flags up on the hillsides,

01:44:35and they got a treat today.

01:44:37Heikki Kovalainen picks up his first win.

01:44:41What a way to confirm your status

01:44:45on the weekend when you sign a new contract.

01:44:48Yes, absolutely perfect. No doubt about it.

01:44:50And Timo Glock looks like he's celebrating a victory.

01:44:52Why not?

01:44:53Well, he would be feeling lucky, so...

01:44:56That was a great run for him all weekend.

01:44:59Two weeks ago he was seeing stars. Now he's going to see a trophy.

01:45:02It was a great run, and he did a great job to keep Raikkonen at bay.

01:45:06And as we so often see with first-time podium standers,

01:45:09he doesn't know where to go.

01:45:15Here's the weigh-in for Heikki.

01:45:17Congratulations from his countryman, Kimi Raikkonen.

01:45:20Talk about an improbable performance. He's on the podium.

01:45:23Absolutely.

01:45:25He has been lost in the woods the past couple of weeks.

01:45:29But this may be a very important weekend

01:45:31for the reigning world champion as well.

01:45:34We'll take another break and be back for the anthems.

01:45:37Stay with us for more here on Speed.

01:45:42Back in Hungary, the fourth Finnish driver

01:45:45to win a Formula 1 world championship race

01:45:48takes the top step of the podium.

01:45:50Now it'll be Heikki Kovalainen's job

01:45:52to match his three countrymen

01:45:54by going on to win the world championship.

01:46:34CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

01:47:04ANTHEM PLAYS

01:47:24Well done to...

01:47:26Well, the small Finnish town of Suomassalmi

01:47:29now has a new distinction.

01:47:32Home of a Formula 1 winner.

01:47:35And in case you're wondering,

01:47:37those other three Finns are KK Rosberg,

01:47:39Kimi Raikkonen on the podium there with Heikki,

01:47:42and, of course, Mika Häkkinen.

01:47:44All-world champion.

01:47:46Yeah, it's a long time since we heard that Finnish national anthem.

01:47:49We heard so much of it in the late 90s.

01:47:53There's Martin Whitmarsh from McLaren International.

01:47:58Been there forever.

01:48:00Noted as well within the company.

01:48:02Hungarian pottery that he was holding there.

01:48:04Obviously a very big speciality in Hungary.

01:48:07The winner's trophy also of Hungarian pottery.

01:48:11Well, the teams will now take a three-week break

01:48:14before their first ever visit

01:48:16to the street circuit in Valencia, Spain.

01:48:19Budapest is a wonderful town to have a celebration in.

01:48:22I would imagine Heikki Kovalainen and McLaren Mercedes

01:48:25are going to have a big one.

01:48:27And maybe that fellow will show up.

01:48:29He's known to be partial to the occasional party.

01:48:31I mean, can you believe how Raikkonen came alive

01:48:33in about the last ten laps?

01:48:35He's been half asleep all weekend.

01:48:37And suddenly, at the end of the race,

01:48:39he just drove like mad.

01:48:42Both Finns having a quick swig before they wasted on the ground.

01:48:45See how much actually hits the ground.

01:48:49Well, Kovalainen's first win,

01:48:51and I'm sure it won't be the last.

01:48:56Well done. A storybook weekend for him.

01:48:58A new contract, his first win,

01:49:01and a big step up in the championship.

01:49:03And a huge weekend for Timo Duck, too.

01:49:05I mean, and Toyota.

01:49:09So we do not have that sixth different championship leader.

01:49:14Because Lewis Hamilton, by salvaging fifth-place points,

01:49:17will remain the championship leader,

01:49:19but it will close up.

01:49:21Hamilton over Raikkonen,

01:49:23who leaps ahead of his teammate Felipe Massa,

01:49:25who must be on suicide watch right now.

01:49:27Absolutely.

01:49:28And Robert Kubica remains in fourth place.

01:49:31Lots more to come here in the post-race

01:49:33for the Hungarian Formula One Grand Prix on Speed.

01:49:36So stick around. We'll be right back.

01:49:40Welcome back. As has become traditional,

01:49:42the racetrack has turned over to the fans

01:49:44here at the Hungaroring.

01:49:46Meanwhile, our top three finishers

01:49:48are up in the interview room with our Peter Windsor.

01:49:51Winner of the ING Hungarian Grand Prix,

01:49:53for Vodafone, McLaren, Mercedes,

01:49:55Heikki Kovalainen.

01:49:56Heikki, what an amazing day for you.

01:49:59It's been a long walk to this race.

01:50:01Describe your feelings as you cross the line.

01:50:04Yeah, of course. Of course, very happy.

01:50:07You know, like you mentioned,

01:50:09there's been various incidents earlier this year,

01:50:11when we've been in a position after Saturday

01:50:14quite a few times to fight for a victory.

01:50:17But always something has gone wrong

01:50:19and it hasn't functioned perfectly.

01:50:23And today, obviously, you know,

01:50:26Massa and Luis were both very fast

01:50:28at the beginning of the race.

01:50:29About halfway through the race,

01:50:30I felt this was starting to work for me

01:50:32a little bit better.

01:50:34And then at the end,

01:50:35I just tried to put pressure on Massa,

01:50:37hoped that, you know, something would happen.

01:50:40And it obviously looked like he had a mechanical failure.

01:50:43So, you know, it all worked fine for me today.

01:50:46And I'm very, very happy about it, of course.

01:50:48And all the hard work that the whole team

01:50:52has put in the last few months,

01:50:54and, you know, through difficult times,

01:50:56just keep pushing.

01:50:57It's very respectable.

01:50:59And I'm very, very glad to score the first victory.

01:51:03The car looked particularly good,

01:51:04as you say, in that last stint on the softer tyres.

01:51:07How quick was the car then relative to Felipe, do you think?

01:51:11Well, it's difficult to say what he was doing,

01:51:13but I was catching him, you know,

01:51:15quite a big chunk every lap.

01:51:17And the target was to try to put pressure on him

01:51:20and, you know, take all the power from his engine

01:51:23and, you know, everything that I could do

01:51:26to put pressure on him.

01:51:27And like you said,

01:51:28my car felt particularly good on the last stint.

01:51:30And the first two stints,

01:51:32I was a little bit cautious earlier this year.

01:51:34I've had some troubles with the tyre degradation

01:51:37and I was just worried that if I crossed that edge again

01:51:40that I might start to struggle.

01:51:41So I just kept my own pace

01:51:44and tried to increase bit by bit.

01:51:48And then on the last stint, it all worked fine for me.

01:51:51And in the last couple of laps,

01:51:52as you knew you were leading the race

01:51:54heading towards your first victory,

01:51:55and then hearing the Finnish anthem being played for you

01:51:58on this occasion on the podium.

01:51:59Yeah, it's fantastic. It's a great moment.

01:52:02And of course, it's been a moment

01:52:03that I've been targeting for many, many years now

01:52:06since I started to get an idea about the possibility

01:52:10to become a Formula One driver in the junior categories,

01:52:12starting to work very hard and, you know,

01:52:15improve my fitness and spend a lot of time

01:52:17to achieve this goal, to finally achieve it.

01:52:19You know, it's very, very, very pleasing.

01:52:21And hopefully this is first of many.

01:52:24And, you know, now we just need to keep the concentration

01:52:27and have a little break,

01:52:28trying to maximise even this break

01:52:30and then go to the next round and trying to repeat it.

01:52:34Congratulations to you, Heikki.

01:52:35Thank you.

01:52:36And Timo, congratulations to you too.

01:52:38Two weeks ago, you were leaving the circuit

01:52:40on a stretcher in an ambulance.

01:52:41Now here you are celebrating your first ever

01:52:43podium finish in Formula One for Panasonic Toyota.

01:52:47It's just unbelievable.

01:52:49I couldn't believe when I saw Philippe's engine going off

01:52:53and I knew I was P2 and got the pressure from Kimi.

01:52:57And with the soft tyres at the end,

01:52:58I struggled quite a lot.

01:53:00We knew that already on Friday,

01:53:02that soft tyres will be difficult.

01:53:05But at the end, it's just unbelievable.

01:53:07And after the race in Hockenheim,

01:53:09where we had a good race pace and the big crash,

01:53:13and now we came to Budapest

01:53:15and just kept the speed here

01:53:17and just had a really good car from Friday on.

01:53:21And we never did a really big change on the car

01:53:23and it was just perfect until the last stint with soft tyres.

01:53:26It was a bit tricky, but unbelievable.

01:53:29I mean, my first year, half of the season over,

01:53:32and I'm on the podium.

01:53:33It's just a perfect weekend.

01:53:35And a great start to the race too,

01:53:36to get by Robert Kubica.

01:53:38Talk about that and then also that moment

01:53:40at the top of the hill there in the closing stages,

01:53:42under pressure from Kimi when he did run a bit wide.

01:53:45Yeah, I mean, you know,

01:53:47I had to improve myself a little bit

01:53:49in terms of the start,

01:53:50in terms of my reaction time was not perfect

01:53:53in the first couple of races

01:53:54and I just improved myself on it.

01:53:56And I think the start time was just really, really good

01:53:59and could accelerate out Robert

01:54:02and had a good first corner.

01:54:04And then the last stint,

01:54:06when I saw I was nine seconds in front of Kimi,

01:54:09I had a reasonable pace.

01:54:11But then they told me he's just five tenths quicker per lap

01:54:14by nearly a second.

01:54:15And I just tried to push more and more

01:54:18and I just destroyed the tyre every time.

01:54:19So I had to really be focused on the tyre

01:54:21and just keep it easy, keep it cool

01:54:24and don't get too much under pressure from Kimi.

01:54:26Well, Kimi did back off in the last couple of laps,

01:54:28but prior to that, what was your mindset?

01:54:30Were you thinking he can catch me,

01:54:32but no way he's going to get past?

01:54:34Yeah, I knew.

01:54:35I mean, last year from GP2,

01:54:36I stuck in the middle of the field here.

01:54:38I think we had a really, really quick car,

01:54:39but I couldn't get past anybody.

01:54:41And even in Formula One, it's just more difficult.

01:54:45And when he was close to me,

01:54:47I could see in the mirror that for two laps,

01:54:49he nearly couldn't catch up more.

01:54:52So I thought, OK, just no mistakes

01:54:54and keep it on the track and that's it.

01:54:56Congratulations, a fantastic result for you.

01:54:59And Kimi, well done from where you were on the grid,

01:55:01a difficult qualifying session.

01:55:02And then for most of the race,

01:55:03trapped behind Fernando Alonso's Renault,

01:55:06but it all came alive for you

01:55:07in the last stint on the soft tyres,

01:55:09a great pit stop leading up to that too.

01:55:11Yeah, I mean, I think we could have managed

01:55:14to do the race a little bit better,

01:55:17but we were stuck behind Alonso

01:55:19all the way until the second stop.

01:55:22And then on the in-lap,

01:55:23I was like eight inches faster on my own.

01:55:25But I mean, it was a bit late on that point,

01:55:28but at least we had a good car.

01:55:30We got in front of him and I was able to catch Timo,

01:55:32but then we needed to back off in the end.

01:55:36I mean, we were a bit lucky

01:55:38with all the people going all over the places

01:55:41and end up most of the points

01:55:43from the first three guys in the championship.

01:55:46But I mean, we have the speed in the race,

01:55:49but if I cannot get the qualifying right,

01:55:51we're going to end up every race in the same situation

01:55:54like here in the last race.

01:55:56So we need to sort it out.

01:55:57If we can be in the front, then we can fight for wins.

01:56:01But in this position, we just follow people

01:56:04and we cannot use the speed.

01:56:05So the guys did a good job,

01:56:07but we just need to fix a few problems

01:56:10and then for sure we can be back in the hunt for wins.

01:56:15What was it like when you were catching Timo towards the end there?

01:56:17Were you thinking there was going to be a possibility to pass him?

01:56:20I was ready to try anything.

01:56:22So I don't really care if I would have lost or win at one point,

01:56:27but unfortunately we needed to back off.

01:56:30So we were much faster like we were with Alonso,

01:56:33which is why it's so difficult.

01:56:34If the guy in the front doesn't make a mistake,

01:56:36it's really, really difficult to get past.

01:56:38So you need to get something very special on one corner

01:56:42to get close enough.

01:56:43But at least we got him behind,

01:56:49but unfortunately I couldn't try to pass him.

01:56:51But I mean, third place in the end after a very difficult weekend

01:56:55for me was a good result.

01:56:59Congratulations to you, Kimi.

01:57:00And Heikki, just returning to you for some final thoughts.

01:57:03Firstly, again, just reflect as time goes on

01:57:06on this first victory of yours and the feeling of that.

01:57:09But beyond that, where do you think the balance of power now lies?

01:57:12Felipe Massa led the race for a long time for Ferrari.

01:57:15Luis was second.

01:57:16You were there spectating, if you like.

01:57:19And now we go to Valencia with a three-week break.

01:57:21How do you see the Ferrari-McLaren battle?

01:57:24I think it's still very, very close

01:57:26and it's very difficult to draw any conclusions

01:57:29which one is ahead.

01:57:30It just depends on the day.

01:57:32Whoever nails it on that day is just a little bit ahead.

01:57:35And it's so sensitive at the moment

01:57:38that if you don't get the setup perfect

01:57:40and if you don't get the tyres feeling perfect

01:57:42and you're driving perfect,

01:57:44there can be three, four guys straight away ahead of you.

01:57:47And I think it's quite interesting.

01:57:49I think it's really spectacular for the fans

01:57:52and also for us.

01:57:54It puts a lot of pressure for everybody to maximise everything

01:57:57and it should be a very interesting end of the season

01:58:00to see when all the teams and all the people are pushing really hard

01:58:03and see who comes out on top at the end.

01:58:06Congratulations to you.

01:58:08That's a battle we're all going to enjoy.

01:58:10Heikki, still all to play for

01:58:12in the Formula One World Championship

01:58:14with seven rounds to go.

01:58:15We'll be back.

01:58:18Welcome back.

01:58:19There's the McLaren Brand Centre

01:58:21where a big party will be going on shortly

01:58:23to celebrate Heikki Kovalainen's maiden Formula One victory.

01:58:26Here's a look at the final results of the Hungarian Grand Prix.

01:58:30Well, there you see it.

01:58:31Kovalainen with his first ever victory at Hungary.

01:58:33Timo Glock a great run there to second spot in the Toyota.

01:58:36Kimi Räikkönen a bit lucky to finish third, quite honestly.

01:58:38Alonso had a good run in the Renault.

01:58:40Lewis Hamilton had that flat tyre

01:58:41and managed to pull himself back to fifth.

01:58:43The BK scoring points again.

01:58:44The Arno truly scoring more points for Toyota.

01:58:46And Robert Kubica just salvaging that last point

01:58:49for BMW Sauber.

01:58:52Down nine through to 14.

01:58:54Mark Webber for Red Bull and his teammate down there

01:58:57started on those soft tyres.

01:58:59David Coulthard down in 11th out of the points.

01:59:01Nick Heidfeld also out of the points for BMW.

01:59:04And the runners 15 through to 20.

01:59:06Look at Felipe Massa.

01:59:08So nearly won the race.

01:59:10He finishes up P17.

01:59:12And here are the championship standings.

01:59:14The swings and roundabouts of fortune.

01:59:16Hamilton still leads.

01:59:17But look at that.

01:59:18Very closely followed by Kimi Räikkönen

01:59:20and Felipe Massa.

01:59:21Robert Kubica still not that far behind.

01:59:23Nick Heidfeld still in 41.

01:59:25Heikki Kovalainen obviously scored 10 points today.

01:59:27The Arno truly scored some more points today.

01:59:29And Fernando Alonso scored more points today.

01:59:31As did Timo Glock.

01:59:33So a lot of drivers there.

01:59:35Close together really.

01:59:36Nelson Piquet scored points today.

01:59:38And there you see down Sebastien Bordet

01:59:39with just two points.

01:59:41How about the constructors, Steve?

01:59:43Ferrari still out in front.

01:59:44111.

01:59:45But look at this.

01:59:46McLaren Mercedes jump over BMW Sauber.

01:59:49McLaren now on 100.

01:59:50And the other big mover is Renault.

01:59:52They leapfrog over Red Bull.

01:59:5424 points to 31 in favour of Renault.

01:59:57Toyota scored but they don't...
