| 13.30 | Welcome to F1-Live.com and our live coverage of the 70-lap Hungarian Grand Prix. It has been a dramatic weekend so far. |
| 13.32 | Qualifying yesterday brought yet more controversy to Formula One and once again it involved the McLaren Mercedes team. For once however, Ferrari were not involved in any way! |
| 13.34 | Fernando Alonso qualified on the pole position, but only after he waited in the pits long enough (for whatever reason) to deny team-mate Lewis Hamilton a chance to make his final run. Unsurprisingly, the stewards took a dim view on this and he was demoted five positions on the grid. |
| 13.36 | The team were also found guilty of breaking the rules, and they will not score any points in the constructors’ championship in this race, although that is under appeal. Lewis Hamilton therefore starts from the pole with Alonso sixth. |
| 13.37 | The actions of the team in the final minutes of qualifying are deemed prejudicial to the interests of the competition and to the interests of motor sport generally, said the stewards late last night in a statement addressed to McLaren boss Ron Dennis. |
| 13.38 | Alonso and McLaren were not the only ones to get a penalty after qualifying. Giancarlo Fisichella had qualified in eighth position, but he is demoted to 13th after he blocked Sakon Yamamoto. With Renault team-mate Heikki Kovalainen 11th on the grid, Renault face another tough race. |
| 13.40 | Nick Heidfeld starts second in his BMW Sauber after a great run in qualifying. It will be interesting to see if he can hang on to Hamilton at the start of the race or if he will perhaps try a different strategy and try to go for broke. Team-mate Robert Kubica starts seventh but has not been particularly comfortable with his F1.07 this weekend. |
| 13.42 | Kimi Raikkonen starts third in his Ferrari, but it is clear the team have problems with the handling of the F2007. Felipe Massa struggled in qualifying and a fuel problem hardly helped his cause as he qualified a dismal 14th. |
| 13.44 | Nico Rosberg starts fourth in his Williams Toyota and has a great chance to secure his first points since round four of the championship in Spain. Ralf Schumacher and the Toyota team also have a chance to score much needed points as he starts fifth ahead of Alonso. |
| 13.46 | With Kubica seventh, Jarno Trulli lines up eighth in the second Toyota ahead of the Red Bull Renault duo of Mark Webber and David Coulthard. For Red Bull, a reliable run will be the key after numerous issues with the gearbox and hydraulic system all season. |
| 13.48 | Alex Wurz starts 12th in his Williams Toyota ahead of Fisichella and Massa. Anthony Davidson leads the way for Super Aguri Honda in 15th ahead of Tonio Liuzzi who did a good job to make it into the second round of qualifying yesterday in his Toro Rosso. |
| 13.50 | Honda faces a long afternoon with Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello lining up 17th and 18th. The shortcomings of the RA107 are very apparent at this circuit and it seems that the team really has made no progress with this difficult car. For Button, one year on from his first win, things can only get better. |
| 13.52 | Towards the back, Takuma Sato starts 19th in the second Super Aguri after running off track at the end of his final qualifying lap. Sebastian Vettel is having a tough debut with Toro Rosso and starts 20th ahead of Spyker racers Adrian Sutil and Sakon Yamamoto. |
| 13.54 | Strategy and tyres will play a part in this race. The soft Bridgestone tyre is not lasting well and is most certainly the slower option over a race stint. Expect most to save the soft tyre until the final stint of the race. |
| 13.56 | Due to the tyre issues, many may well opt to make it a three stop race to minimise the time spent on the soft tyre. |
| 13.57 | The stands are full and the sun is shining. |
| 13.58 | The drivers are all on the grid and awaiting the crews to fire up the engines. |
| 13.59 | The engines are being fired up and the grid is being cleared. |
| 13.59 | The front runners are on the hard tyres. |
| 14.00 | The parade lap is now underway. |
| 14.00 | Fisichella (13th) is on soft tyres. |
| 14.02 | Hamilton lines up on his pole position with the rest of the grid getting into position. |
| Lap 1 | The Hungarian Grand Prix is underway. |

| Lap 5 | So Hamilton leads Raikkonen by three seconds. It was actually Sato who passed Massa on that first lap as well as Davidson |
| Lap 6 | Trulli was the main loser at the start as he lost four positions. He now runs in P12. |
| Lap 6 | Yamamoto has gone of and damaged the Spyker. |

| Lap 8 | Alonso is now trying to find a way passed Ralf Schumacher |
| Lap 8 | With Yamamoto out, Barrichello is now the final runner. |
| Lap 9 | Raikkonen actually takes a few tenths out of Hamilton on that last lap. |
| Lap 10 | Massa is still 16th and not making progress. He will have a lot of fuel on board at the moment, but still. |

| Lap 12 | Alonso need to get ahead of Schumacher as the front two are getting away. |

| Lap 29 | Alonso is still one position further back than where he started from while Hamilton is coming under pressure from Raikkonen. |
| Lap 30 | The gap is around a second at the front and Raikkonen seems to be the faster of the two. Of course passing is very hard at this circuit. |
| Lap 30 | Wurz pits his Williams from 11th. |
| Lap 31 | Davidson pits from tenth. |
| Lap 32 | Sato, Massa and Vettel yet to pit. |

| Lap 35 | Wurz was able to get ahead of both Sato and Davidson in the pits and now has some clear track for the first time in the race as he looks to close down Trulli. |
| Lap 36 | Heidfeld is closing on the race leader and it shows that Hamilton does not have much pace at the moment. |
| Lap 36 | Massa pits from 11th. That is his first stop. |
| Lap 37 | Massa exits ahead of Hamilton. Interesting! |
| Lap 37 | Raikkonen is right on the back of Hamilton, so a few key laps ahead for the championship leader. |
| Lap 38 | Button has pulled off and is out of the race. He was 19th in the awful RA107. |
| Lap 38 | Massa is actually pulling away from Hamilton, so perhaps blue flags will not come in. |

| Lap 41 | Massa gets out of the way and the leaders are through. |

| Lap 43 | Fisichella has made his second stop. Alonso is pushing Ralf Schumachetr hard for position now. |
| Lap 43 | Davidson (15th) has spun exiting turn one. Kubica pits his BMW Sauber. |
| Lap 43 | Davidson is stuck on the kerbing and climbs out. Actually he and Fisichella got together and that is why he spun. |

| Lap 59 | Webber pits his Red Bull for the third time. |
| Lap 60 | Alonso is now fourth and is pushing hard to try and make a move on Heidfeld. The three stop BMW Strategy has put Heidfeld in danager. |
| Lap 62 | Hamilton and Raikkonen run a few car lengths apart, but the pass will be very tough to make. |
| Lap 63 | Massa is closing in on Fisichella and keen to move P12. |
| Lap 65 | The closing stages now. It is close for the lead and close for third, but can anyone actually pass? |
