Saturday Second Free Practice

Briton Jenson Button finished fastest ahead of World Champion Michael Schumacher in the final practice session for the Hungarian Grand Prix on Saturday, after setting his time in the dying seconds.

BAR-Honda driver Button set a time of 1:19.556 to finish 0.191 seconds ahead of World Champion Michael Schumacher, who also set his time right at the end of the session in his Ferrari.

German Schumacher pushed his Brazilian teammate Rubens Barrichello down to third with Brazilian Antonio Pizzonia, of Williams, the only other man to break through the one minute and 20 seconds barrier.

Italian Jarno Trulli continued to put in strong times for Renault as he claimed fifth fastest time ahead of Japanese BAR-Honda driver Takuma Sato in sixth and his own Spanish teammate Fernando Alonso in seventh.

Colombian Juan Pablo Montoya finished eighth in the second Williams while compatriot Ricardo Zonta, making his race debut for Toyota this weekend, claimed ninth and Finn Kimi Raikkonen closed out the top ten in his McLaren-Mercedes.

Brazilian Felipe Massa came to a halt at turn three 26 minutes into the session with a smoking Sauber but Italian Giorgio Pantano was the only other driver to experience an incident when he went off briefly at turn 11.
