| Welcome to F1-Live.com and our live coverage of the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend. The third and final practice session ahead of qualifying begins in a few minutes. |
| 10:52:35
| Fernando Alonso set the pace yesterday for McLaren Mercedes with a best lap of 1:20.919s. Team-mate and championship leader Lewis Hamilton was third fastest. |
| 10:54:09
| Heikki Kovalainen gave Renault a boost with the second fastest time. As the season has progressed, Kovalainen has got stronger following a rather shaky start. Giancarlo Fisichella was eighth fastest. |
| 10:56:12
| Nico Rosberg and Nick Heidfeld were fourth and fifth best for Williams Toyota and BMW Sauber while the Ferrari duo of Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa were just sixth and seventh. Raikkonen in particular was not happy with the handling of his F2007. |
| 10:58:09
| New drivers this weekend are Sakon Yamamoto who takes over full time from Christijan Albers at Spyker Ferrari and Sebastian Vettel who has taken over Scott Speed’s seat at Toro Rosso Ferrari. |
| 11:00:06
| It’s dry, sunny but pretty windy. The third practice session is now underway. |
| 11:00:44
| Anthony Davidson, Sakon Yamamoto, Kubica, Liuzzi, Trulli, Schumacher and Sutil head straight out. |
| 11:01:11
| Most will complete an installation lap and then pit for checks. |
| 11:01:42
| Wurz, Fisichella, Coulthard, Webber, Sato and Kovalainen also on track. |
| 11:02:57
| The early runners are all now returning to the pits. Liuzzi and Vettel have both started a second lap. |
| 11:03:16
| Only Massa and Raikkonen have yet to head out. |
| 11:04:13
| Liuzzi and Vettel both pit now after that second lap. No one has set a lap time yet. |
| 11:04:41
| They have all now returned to the pits. |
| 11:06:24
| Yamamoto heads back out. He will almost certainly be slowest all weekend as he is in the SPyker and has had no testing this year. Last year he completed the second half of the season with Super Aguri. |
| 11:07:24
| This year Yamamoto has been running in the GP2 series albeit with little success. |
| 11:07:44
| Adrian Sutil is now out in the second Spyker. |
| 11:08:55
| Yamamoto's first lap is only three tenths than his best yesterday. |
| 11:10:10
| Sutil runs wide and kicks up some dirt. He has been pretty ragged so far this weekend. Actually all season. |
| 11:10:48
| Sutil is on a better lap now and should move ahead of Yamamoto. |
| 11:11:42
| Adrian Sutil is now fastest ahead of Spyker team-mate Yamamoto. |
| 11:11:56
| Ralf Schumacher is getting ready to head out. |
| 11:12:38
| Schumacher now leaves the Toyota pit. He was 11th fastest yesterday but the TF107 has looked pretty good so far this weekend. |
| 11:13:07
| Barrichello, Trulli and Davidson join the action. |
| 11:14:12
| Liuzzi and Sato head out. |
| 11:14:51
| A better lap from Yamamoto as he gets within a second of Sutil who has pitted. |
| 11:15:45
| All change as Trulli, Schumacher, Davidson and Barrichello all move ahead of the Spyker duo. |
| 11:16:26
| Raikkonen is heading out. |
| 11:17:19
| Liuzzi moves third fastest in his Toro Rosso. His new team-mate Sebastian Vettel is now on track. |
| 11:18:11
| Nick Heidfeld is out in his BMW Sauber. |
| 11:18:31
| Schumacher (2nd) pits his Toyota. |
| 11:20:08
| Raikkonen moves fastest for Ferrari. He is on the hard tyre as are all of the others at this stage of the session. |
| 11:20:44
| Alex Wurz moves fourth fastest ahead of Liuzzi and Sato. |
| 11:21:08
| Kovalainen, second fastest yesterday, heads out in his Renault. |
| 11:21:31
| Raikkonen improves and sets the fastest time of the weekend so far. |
| 11:21:47
| Now Alonso and Massa head out. |
| 11:22:28
| Trulli runs wide and loses time. He heads to the pit. |
| 11:23:44
| Rosberg moves fourth fastest. Kovalainen gives up on that lap and backs off. |
| 11:24:01
| Hamilton and Alonso are both on fast laps. |
| 11:24:23
| Alonso moves second fastest. |
| 11:24:49
| Hamilton moves fastest ahead of Raikkonen and Alonso. |
| 11:26:05
| A big off track moment for one of the Ferrari drivers. It must be Massa I think as he sets the fifth fastest time. |
| 11:27:55
| They are all still on the hard tyre. At some other races this year the super-soft tyre has been too soft and it seems to be the case here. That means they will use it for qualifying and the last stint of the race. |
| 11:28:38
| The fastest four have pitted. Massa remains on track. |
| 11:28:55
| Massa gains one position and is now fourth fastest. |
| 11:29:46
| Kovalainen is working his way up the order. |
| 11:32:21
| Things are looking a bit grim at Honda. Button won this race last year but this year the car is not on the pace. He is 18th and team-mate Barrichello 19th. |
| 11:33:00
| Massa joins his rivals in the pits. Trulli and Heidfeld are on track. |
| 11:35:21
| Heidfeld improves and is now sixth fastest. |
| 11:35:34
| Raikkonen is back on track. |
| 11:36:32
| Heidfeld takes an interesting line through the final turn. He moves far-far, even off track, left to sweep right through the turn. |
| 11:37:34
| Rosberg locks a fdront right brake and runs wide. He is eighth in his Williams. |
| 11:38:12
| Raikkonen now movesfastest ahead of Hamilton and Alonso. He is still on the hard tyre. |
| 11:39:17
| Alonso now back out as Raikkonen loses a few tenths passing a slower car. |
| 11:39:32
| Hamilton joins his McLaren team-mate on track. |
| 11:40:39
| Button moves from 18th to 14th in his Honda. |
| 11:41:44
| Alonso moves fastest from Raikkonen. Hamilton on a fast lap. |
| 11:42:06
| Now Hamilton moves second fastest. |
| 11:42:32
| Webber runs wide. He was unable to make the apex and just understeered off. |
| 11:42:58
| Ralf Schumacher moves fourth fastest. Alonso pits. |
| 11:44:40
| Now Massa moves fastest in his Ferrari. Alonso, Hamilton and Raikkonen are now in the pits. |
| 11:45:22
| Kovalainen (8th) is out and is on soft tyres. |
| 11:46:35
| The soft tyres are not doing much for the Renault driver on this lap. He backs off and pits. Interesting... Davidson runs wide but is able to continue. |
| 11:47:32
| Now Fisichella is trying a run on the soft tyres. |
| 11:48:07
| He too backs off and lets a Red Bull through. Seems the soft tyres are not working at all for Renault today. |
| 11:49:31
| Davidson moves seventh fastest in his Super Aguri. |
| 11:51:00
| Fisichella remains on track but making no progress on the soft tyre. |
| 11:51:23
| Nine minutes remain. This is the time they will try a simulated qualifying run. |
| 11:51:53
| Schumacher runs wide at turn one. He is on the soft tyre. |
| 11:52:58
| Schumacher lost time through the lap and was unable to improve. |
| 11:53:36
| Now Trulli is heading out to try a run on the soft tyres. |
| 11:54:08
| Rosberg gains six positions and moves fifth. Soft tyres. |
| 11:54:44
| Webber is also on softs and looking to improve. |
| 11:55:14
| Webber moves seventh fastest. |
| 11:55:43
| Raikkonen, Alonso and Hamilton all going out. |
| 11:56:02
| A practice start for Hamilton at pit exit. |
| 11:56:21
| They all seem to be on the soft tyre for the final runs. |
| 11:57:37
| Circuit now busy with two minutes remaining. |
| 11:58:11
| Hedifeld moves third fastest for BMW Sauber. |
| 11:58:53
| Alonso does not improve. |
| 11:59:39
| The soft tyre is not working well. This will be a headache for the teams in qualifying and for the final stint in the race. |
| 11:59:58
| Hamilton moves third fastest ahead of Heidfeld. |
| 12:00:09
| The chequered flag is out. |
| 12:00:52
| Kubica does not improve and remains 12th. |
| 12:02:12
| So Massa leads the way for Ferrari. Alonso is second ahead of Hamilton, Heidfeld and Raikkonen. |
