The 2005 Hungarian Grand Prix Review
Formula One goes into the summer break with revived hopes of a having a fight for this year's title after Kimi Raikkonen eased to victory in the Hungarian Grand Prix as his main rival Fernando Alonso failed to score. Will Gray reviews the events and results from the fourteenth race of the 2005 season
After three disasters, Hungary was a dream result for Kimi Raikkonen.
The Finn started the weekend claiming, as World Champion Michael Schumacher had earlier in the week, that he had little chance in the title race, but he left Budapest for the summer break with renewed confidence of a fightback.
He did what he needed to do by becoming the first driver to start first in qualifying and go on to win the race, albeit thanks to yet another McLaren failure taking his teammate Juan Pablo Montoya out of the equation.
