Raikkonen claws back with Hungary GP win
The only consolation for Renault was McLaren's continuing reliability woes, with Montoya crawling into the pits to retire. While Schumacher failed to hold off Raikkonen's challenge, losing out in the pitstops, he could take heart from an encouragingly competitive day for the champions. The most satisfying moment by far for the German, whose championship hopes have all but vanished, came when he lapped Alonso before the half-way point. Two years ago it was Alonso, then only just 22, who lapped Schumacher in Hungary on his way to becoming the sport's youngest race winner. Ralf Schumacher took his first podium of the season, and first for Toyota, in third place ahead of Italian team mate Jarno Trulli in fourth. Briton Jenson Button, his BAR stripped of tobacco advertising before European legislation comes into force on Monday, was fifth with Germany's Nick Heidfeld sixth for Williams. Australian Mark Webber collected two more points for the BMW-powered team while Japan's Takuma Sato finally joined the point scorers in eighth place for BAR. Neither of the Red Bull drivers lasted a lap. Austrian Christian Klien barrel-rolled spectacularly at the first corner and Briton David Coulthard crashed out after Alonso's Renault shed its front wing in his path. Brazilian Rubens Barrichello, in the second Ferrari, also had a tough race after running into the back of Trulli's Toyota at the start and having to make an unscheduled pitstop for a replacement wing. He finished 10th.
