F1 2004 Hungarian Grand Prix - Race
Welcome back to Hungary. Yesterdays qualifying session saw Jacques Villeneuve take pole position in the rain. Now the rain is gone and the forecast is for a completely dry race. Can Villeneuve win or will someone else get the job done?
We are underway in Hungary
Villeneuve and Schumacher battle at the front....looks like there's a crash at the back
I'm pretty sure Sato isn't meant to be facing that way
Da Matta is out
Sato is too
Anthony Davidson will also retire
Raikkonen has damage and will need to pit
It looks like Da Matta ran into Sato
Before Zonta smashed into the back of Davidson
Trulli has spun
He's wide again
2 spins in one lap.....get a grip Jarno
Villeneuve sets a fastest lap
Great move down the inside by Button
Hang on! Schumacher is down the inside and into the lead
The German then sets a fastest lap
Coulthard looks to get past Alonso
And he's through
Zonta runs wide
Another fastest lap for Schumacher
Webber seems to be having problems
He's holding up the Jordan
Alonso runs wide
So does Webber
They are both down the order now
Webber has a water leak, that explains his lack of pace
He's out of the race
Zonta spins
The top 8
A new fastest lap for Schumacher
Alonso is having an awful race, one of the Jordans has passed him
No points for Rubeno today, that's his engine gone
An Alonso train
The Renault has got past Alonso
A new fastest lap for Schumacher
Alonso has spun it. Deary me. Could this be his last Mclaren race?
Timo Glock has spun too, did Barrichello put down some oil during his engine blow?
Now Schumacher has spun!
And Trulli!!
Luckily for Schumacher, he still leads after the pitstops
The top 8 as it stands
Verstappen passes Coulthard
But he's spun it.
He'll rejoin in 8th
Zonta spins again
Verstappen sets a new fastest lap
Villeneuve is having a look down the inside of Schumi
He's done it!!!
Another fastest lap for Verstappen
Disaster! Villeneuve has a suspension problem and is out. That's cruel!
McNish pits for the 3rd time. He's the only 3 stopper today
Montoya is pulling off and is out! A double DNF for Williams
A new fastest lap for the Dutchman in the Ferrari
Michael Schumacher wins!
Coulthard is second
Button is 3rd

DOTD - I'm going to give it to Michael Schumacher. Without that spin he would have walked this race.
Top 8 for Mobile Users
1. Michael Schumacher
2. David Coulthard
3. Jenson Button
4. Andre Lotterer
5. Nick Heidfeld
6. Allan McNish
7. Giancarlo Fisichella
8. Jos Verstappen
Well done Couthard for the second place.
Mclaren Mercedes Statement
Absolutely brilliant by Jenson! It's a shame we are losing him at the end of the season, unless we can do a deal with Sauber, which is unlikely. I can confirm that Fernando Alonso has raced for the last time for Mclaren Mercedes. He was awful today and I feel it would be good to give Bjorn a go. We have a few targets in mind to partner Sebastian in next years car and we've put in an offer for Ryan Briscoe as a second reserve driver.

I knew it was one of the midfield teams :P No problem Twigster. If you ever need a race director let me know
Verstappen and Alonso Sign for Ferrari
After losing out on their start driver Michael Schumacher to Williams earlier in the season today Ferrari confirmed that current McLaren driver Fernando Alonso will replace the German in the team. The Spaniard who has endured a very difficult season and who has just been demoted to test driver following another poor performance, looked set to spend next season on the sidelines before Ferrari approached him. Ferrari were not the only team interested in signing Alonso as his current employers had also put a bid in before withdrawing their offer. The team also confirmed that Verstappen will also be staying on another year to partner Alonso. The deals are reported to be worth £16.5m and £7m respectively.
Liuzzi to race in GP2
Rising star in F3000 Vitantonio Liuzzi will be racing in GP2 for Red Bull Racing Junior after signing a contract reported to be worth £7m. The deal means that there maybe a chance of seeing Liuzzi in Formula One in the near future in a Red Bull due to the sister team agreement. The team faced no opposition in signing the driver.
Lotterer Staying on at Jordan
After picking up his first points of the season with a strong fourth place at the Hungaroring it was today confirmed that Andre Lotterer will be racing for Jordan again in 2005. Again the team faced no opposition in signing the driver, acquiring his services for £2m
Briscoe Signs for McLaren
Current Toyota test driver Ryan Briscoe is set to become part of the McLaren outfit for the 2005 season. The Aussie today confirmed he had signed a contract worth £3m to test for the team in the upcoming season. A few other teams also showed interest including one from the newly formed GP2 series, but the offer from McLaren was apparently 'too good to turn down'.

Forgot to add this but do you think you could send me those 2004 TV graphics please John, as the only reason I don't use the correct ones is that I have the GPGSL graphics installed and I don't think they'd be very happy if I used them for the race coverages

Yes we won!
Too bad Verstappen made some mistakes
Could've been real something with double podium towards Williams with their double DNF! Still we won a little back at them
I also would like to welcome Fernando Alonso to the team, together with Felipe Massa he will make the drivers pairing for 2005 (Massa nr 3, Alonso nr 4) while Jos Verstappen will be going to test for us in 2005.
If you are racing, keep on racing and get some points!
