Fisichella Pleased with 'Great Result'

Italian Giancarlo Fisichella was pleased to return to the points after more than two months of drought for him.

Italian Giancarlo Fisichella was pleased to return to the points after more than two months of drought for him.

Fisichella, who had last finished in the top six at June's Canadian Grand Prix, completed a strong weekend with a solid sixth place at the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday.

The Jordan star was unable to keep McLaren drivers Kimi Raikkonen and David Coulthard at bay, and was relegated to sixth after running in ahead of the Mercedes-powered cars for the most part of the race.

Despite that, the Roman was happy with the point scored and was encouraged ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix in two weeks time.

"I am pleased. I was quite confident today that we might score more points and possibly finish even higher than this, but unfortunately the McLarens were quicker and we lost a couple of positions," said Fisichella.

"The hot conditions don't suit us so well and during the lapping stages, I was held up behind a Toyota and that lost me some time. Nevertheless, sixth is a great result and I'm really looking forward to the next race as it's at one of my favourite circuits."

Jordan's Japanese driver Takuma Sato finished down in tenth place.
