Lap 54: Nakajima is all over the back of Button's Brawn GP as the duo fight over the last points-paying position

Lap 52: Raikkonen is coming under serious pressure from Glock but the Toyota driver does still have to stop
Lap 51: Webber stops. He's fighting for a podium finish here today. The Australian comes out ahead of Rosberg in fourth place. But Glock still has to stop, which means Webber should get third
Lap 50: Now Rosberg pits, which will drop him out of the battle for the podium places. He comes out in fifth place
Lap 49: Piquet pits. Is this the Brazilian's very last F1 pit stop? Rumours say yes it is

Lap 38: Toyota are also have a great afternoon with Glock sixth and Trulli seventh after the first round of stops
Lap 37: Buemi is off into the gravel and has to pit. He is now behind Alguersuari on the track
Lap 36: Meanwhile, Rosberg is having a solid race. The Williams man is in fifth place and going strong
Lap 35: Webber is driving fantastically as he holds Kovalainen at bay despite the McLaren man's KERS. It does, however, look as if it's only a matter of time before Kovalainen takes Webber for third
SKYBET SAYS: "Hamilton, Raikkonen, Webber is our latest prediction at Skybet, with the trio available at 1/8, 9/2, and 25/1 for the win respectively. It's good news for Webber in the title, but he will have mixed feelings if it stays this way until the end"
Lap 34: Hamilton is maintaining a lead of roughly 6.5s over Raikkonen
Lap 33: Barrichello comes into the pits from sixth place. The Brazilian, who is not having the best race, comes out in 13th place

Lap 30: Vettel comes into the garage and parks his car. Race over
Lap 29: Alguersuari comes in for his first ever pit stop to great applause from his sister in the Toro Rosso garage. No problems for the Spanish teenage

Lap 26: Buemi comes in from 11th place while Vettel complains "nothing is broken, nothing broken but i can't control the car any more"
Lap 25: Button pits from second place. He stops for 8.7s and comes out behind Barrichello and under attack from Fisichella. Fisichella overtakes him on his much lighter fuel load
SKYBET SAYS: "Hamilton is driving so consistently quickly, we've put him into 1/8, with Raikkonen 10/1 now second favourite. Webber might yet receive a penalty is 16/1"
Lap 24: Piuqet pits while team-mate Alonso is seen giving interviews outside the Renault motorhome. Disappointing afternoon for the pole-sitter
Lap 23: So Hamilton is leading ahead of Button and Trulli with Piquet behind them. Those three, though, all still have to stop, which means technically it is Raikkonen who is second even though he's fifth on the track
Lap 22: Nakajima pits from third place and comes out 15th
Lap 21: Kovalainen and Vettel pit. Vettel comes out ahead of Buemi
Lap 20: Hamilton pits for 10.3s and puts on the super soft tyres. He came out ahead of Glock

Lap 19: Webber and Raikkonen pit with the Ferrari getting out ahead of the Australian driver. The two almost hit as Red Bull release Webber into the path of Raikkonen. There could be a stewards' investigation into that
Lap 18: Heidfeld pits in what is yet another dismal afternoon for the BMW team. He was 13th while his team-mate Robert Kubica is 12th

Lap 15: Alonso has dropped from first to stone last
Lap 14: That could have been a really bad accident. What is going on in Formula One this weekend?
Lap 13: Problems for Alonso who has a loose wheel. He slows down to make his way back to the pits when WOW the front right wheel comes flying off. It bounces harmlessly across the track and he's back in the pits
Lap 12: Alonso pits from the lead with extremely worn tyres. He stop s for 6.4s and comes out in tenth place ahead of Nelson Piquet

Lap 11: Alonso, Hamilton, Webber, Raikkonen and Rosberg are all separated by just six seconds as Alonso starts to hold the pack up

Lap 8: Vettel is told to 'save fuel' as he team wants to jump Kovalainen and Rosberg in the first round of pit stops

Lap 6: The boys on the Renault pit wall warn Alonso that Hamilton is by Webber and catching fast
Lap 5: Vettel is still holding onto seventh place despite his earlier problems. Button is right behind him as the two title rivals duke it out
Lap 4: Hamilton powers by Webber around the outside. Amazing to watch that KERS power boost in action
Lap 3: Alonso is pulling away from the field, helped by the battle behind him which has Webber doing all he can to make his car big enough to keep Hamilton at bay while Lewis girlfriend, Nicole, jumps around in the pits like a ... well, can't quite put that one into words!

Lap 2: Button takes Nakajima for eighth place, nice aggressive driving from the Championship leader
Lap 1: Vettel is reporting possible front wing damage from his gamesmanship with Raikkonen at the start
Lap 1: Great start from Alonso while leaves Hamilton and Webber to fight for second place with the Aussie taking it after Raikkonen gives Hamilton a bit of a nudge. Kimi goes on to play with Vettel, dropping him down the order as the Ferrari takes fourth place
START: And it's go in Hungary!
13H02: The front runners are starting on the super soft tyres
13H00: The formation lap is underway
12H59: Track temperature is 43'C and the air temperature is 24'C
12H57: Almost ready for the start as the grid is cleared
SKYBET SAYS: "It's been the most competitive betting heat of the year, with plenty of opinions about who will win. Pole Position has a great record here over the years, but Alonso is Skybet's fourth favourite despite holding P1 at 11/2.
"Vettel is our 5/4 favourite, with Hamilton's KERS assisted McLaren available at 10/3 and Market Webber third in the betting at 7/2"
12H52: Alonso is having a last minute chat with his Renault team
12H49: Blue skies are overnight with light, white puffy clouds... therefore no rain expected
12H45: Pit lane is now closed
12H39: Button, Alonso and Rubens Barrichello are also heading out
12H36: Alguersuari is also on his way out of the pits as he prepares for his first ever F1 start
12H34: Raikkonen is making his way to the grid. He is the sole Ferrari lining up today
12H30: Pit lane is open
12H25: It was a great qualifyingfrom the Swiss driver while his rookie team-mate Jaime Alguersuari, who is taking part in his first GP this weekend, will line up 19th and last on the grid
12H21: Nico Rosberg, Heikki Kovalainen, Kimi Raikkonen and Jenson Button make up the top eight with Kazuki Nakajima lining up behind them. Next would've been Massa but instead that position will go to Toro Rosso's Sebastien Buemi
12H16: The two Brawn GPs are behind him on the grid with Sebastian Vettel ahead of Mark Webber. The duo look to be on similar strategies as is Lewis Hamilton behind them. The McLaren man, though, is armed with KERS which should allow him to take the fight to Red Bull at the start
12H12: The Spaniard, though, has already written off any chance of winning the race and given his extremely light fuel load, points are probably his best bet
12H09: Therefore only 19 drivers will be starting today's race, which sees Fernando Alonso on the pole position slot. It's the Renault driver's first pole since 2007
12H05: Massa will not compete today after undergoing emergency surgery in Budapest last night. The Brazilian suffered a brain concussion and damage to his skull when he was hit by a spring that had come loose from Rubens Barrichello's car at the end of Saturday's second qualifying segment. Massa was knocked unconscious by the impact and crashed into the barriers. It was yet another reminder of the dangers of motorsport and the risk the drivers take for a sport they - and we - love
12H03: Before we start off the coverage, we just want to wish Felipe Massa a speedy recovery with all our thoughts going out to the Brazilian, his wife and family
12H00: Welcome to coverage of the 2009 Hungarian GP, which takes place over 70 laps around the Hungaroring - a circuit that can best be described as Monaco but without the barriers or glamour
