Raikkonen fastest in practice 1 - Hungary
Kimi Raikkonen topped the times in Friday's opening practice for Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix, the Finn in his McLaren Mercedes-Benz winding up ahead of Briton Anthony Davidson in a Honda at the end of a dull and overcast session
Davidson, the test and reserve driver, was seven tenths of a second behind the pace-setting lap of 1:21.624 clocked by Raikkonen, with German Michael Schumacher in his Ferrari third fastest.
Spaniard Pedro de la Rosa was fourth for McLaren ahead of Austrian Alexander Wurz, in a Williams, and the two Hondas driven by Brazilian Rubens Barrichello and Briton Jenson Button.
After heavy overnight showers, the circuit was damp and drying, but the weather was heavy, cool and threatening as the session began.
There were few incidents other than brief off-track excursions that claimed Neel Jani in a Toro Rosso-Cosworth, Italian Giancarlo Fisichella in his Renault, German Markus Winkelhock in a Midland and Dutchman Christijan Albers, his teammate. Pos Driver Team Time Laps
