the 13th race of the season, and the 4th race in perhaps the busiest month ever, the Hungarian Grand Prix at the Hungaroring! :D :beer:
Toyota fastest: well, it's Zonta, the test driver, whilst Trulli and ralf are in 4th and 5th. Wurz and Kimi are in 2nd and 3rd for McLaren, whilst JPM is in 6th. Rubens in 7th, Alonso in 8th and Button in 9th. Schumie dod not record a time, admitting defeat for the championship (and it didn't help that his car crapped out). if McLaren can keep their cars together, things are looking good for them this weekend, as for Toyota, who have had an inconsistent season. DC in 13th, JV, who is still hopeful that he will be with Sauber-BMW next year (instead of Massa) was in 16th, followed by Sato and Massa. the BMWs were in 12th and 15th, with Heidfeld outperforming his teammate in practice.

some news:
the best driver in F1 (never to win a race) wanted to leave BAR last year, even though he was still under contract, and join Williams for this season. he was prevented form doing that, since he had a contract to race for BAR for one more year. now that the teams fortunes have changed, and Williams is likely to use Cosworth engines next year instead of BMW, and seems to be in decline, suddenly Button thinks the best thing for him to do is to stay at BAR, and has even offered to pay Williams $3.5 mill in order not to join his team:http://www.tsn.ca/auto_racing/formula_one/news_story.asp?ID=131596&hubName=auto_racing-formula_one
but, oh, what's this, now Sir Frank Williams says "A deal is a deal, A contract is a contract" and still wants Button. this couldn't happen to a better person:http://www.tsn.ca/auto_racing/formula_one/news_story.asp?ID=131793&hubName=auto_racing-formula_one
Kimi may be out of McLaren after next season if things do not improve for the team (namely the reliability issues). still, unlike Button, he will honour his contract. note to Button: a signed deal is a deal, stop whining and suck it up:http://www.tsn.ca/auto_racing/news_story.asp?id=131694
Schumie is encouraged by the practice sessions, but i wouldn't be. start building next year's car, and try to introduce it at the start of the season:http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?PO_ID=33644
Williams: an engine decision still two weeks away, but the rumour is Cosworth in 2006 and Toyota the next year:http://www.tsn.ca/auto_racing/news_story.asp?id=131785
the EU has banned tobacco ads and teams could face prosecution if they use subliminal messages (such as designs, symbols, colours, etc), because, as we all know, people are simpleminded fools, and anything we see on TV immediately compels us to buy buy buy. so, Ferrari's red, white and black design would have to be changed because those colours can be associated with a cigarette company. man, i need a Marlboro:http://www.tsn.ca/auto_racing/news_story.asp?id=131594 and British based teams could be fined:http://www.tsn.ca/auto_racing/news_story.asp?id=131594
