With a record 12th win in 13 races in the most soporific Grand Prix of the season, Michael Schumacher made sure Ferrari clinched the Constructors' Championship as he took what is likely to be the penultimate step towards his seventh title. Atlas F1's Pablo Elizalde reviews the events and results from the Hungarian Grand Prix
The slow and twisty Hungarian circuit has provided very few exciting races over the years, and any overtaking is usually something extraordinary there. No one ever expects much from the Budapest race in terms of entertainment, and this year was no exception as the Formula One fans were treated to over 1.5 hours of pure boredom.
As if every driver was in a race of his own instead of racing against 19 other men, the laps went by tediously, and apart from Ricardo Zonta spinning his Toyota at the start of the race, the images of the Ferrari mechanics solving a problem with the fuel hose, and Ross Brawn eating a banana, the 70 laps of Sunday's event offered just a high-speed procession from start to finish.
It's easy to guess that even the most loyal of tifosi were left yawning by the way their German hero dominated the race.
After a record 12 wins in 13 races, anyone would be hard-pressed to put a positive spin on Schumacher's supremacy this season after the Hungarian Grand Prix, especially because even if the Ferraris would have been removed from the race, the show would not have improved much.
Formula One team bosses met in Budapest on Saturday in the hope of agreeing to radical changes for next season, but no progress was made. With five races remaining in the season, the teams are still in the dark about what kind of car they will have to build for next year.
It was little wonder to hear the likes of Eddie Jordan or Paul Stoddart complaining about the situation: they will face the biggest challenge when they have to build a new car in record time with a tenth of the resources of the biggest teams. Sunday's race showed, among other problems F1 faces, the huge gap between the haves and the have-nots; Saturday's meeting showed a solution to those problems is nowhere near as the sport continues to lose momentum.
As it has usually been the case this season, the aftermath of a race leaves no other choice but to mention Schumacher's and Ferrari's achievements. One just needs to look at last year's Hungarian race to see what the Italian squad have managed this season: from struggling to finish in the points and being lapped, to crushing the opposition in the most dominant manner to score the seventh one-two of the year and to clinch an unprecedented sixth consecutive constructors' title.
Despite Schumacher's assurances, there doesn't seem to be an end to his dominance in sight, and not only because of Ferrari's package superiority, but also because the Italian squad's rivals continue to play the inconsistency game.
If Jenson Button and BAR looked like the World Champions' main threat in Germany, the British squad were nowhere near the Italian team in Hungary. Instead it was Renault, read Fernando Alonso, who looked like the best of the rest, even if the Spaniard was never in contention for a position in the Ferrari vicinity.
A year made a huge difference for Alonso, who after lapping Schumacher on his way to his maiden F1 win last season, had to settle for a distant third place this time. Given the circumstances, however, the young Spaniard left Hungary with the best possible result, and singlehandedly defended Renault from the BAR challenge as he had done before the summer break in Germany.
For the second race in succession, it was BAR who had both cars in the points while Renault had to rely on Alonso to keep their advantage in the Constructors' Championship. In the end, the Honda-powered team gained just one point on the French squad after both Button and teammate Takuma Sato underperformed in the race following a promising qualifying.
As usual at the Hungaroring, the start makes or breaks a driver's race, and while in Alonso's case it meant a podium finish, for Button and Sato it meant they struggled for most of the race and had to settle for distant fifth and sixth positions behind Juan Pablo Montoya in the Williams.
For the Grove-based squad, the weekend did not bring much to celebrate either, and despite the introduction of a new aerodynamic package - conventional front wing and nose included - their pace was no match for the Renault of Alonso, let alone the Ferraris. Still, and with fourth place in the Championship looking like the only realistic goal for Williams right now, the weekend was positive for them after McLaren endured another nightmare race.
Qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix was all about tyres and weather. Although the rain - a serious threat for most of the session - held off in the end, the lower track temperatures at the Hungaroring played a big role in defining the grid. Some teams were affected by the very few drops of rain which fell during the session, while others, namely McLaren, struggled badly after the temperatures dropped, thus making their tyre choice wrong. In the end, however, there was no stopping Michael Schumacher and Ferrari.

20. Felipe Massa
Massa was hoping that the Hungarian Grand Prix would be one of Sauber's strongest races of the season, but the Brazilian's hopes were soon dashed when his Petronas engine suffered a problem in Saturday's practice. Like his teammate Fisichella, Massa showed his speed in pre-qualifying, but being penalised for replacing his engine, the Sauber driver did not even go out in the grid-deciding session. Starting from the back of the grid at the Hungaroring was always going to make Massa's life incredibly difficult come Sunday.
The Race
The Spanish driver benefitted from the poor start of the BAR duo, with Sato being very slow off the line, dropping down to eighth place. Button, meanwhile, dropped to fifth behind Montoya. Like his teammate, Trulli also made a good start and moved to sixth ahead of Raikkonen.
The first corner saw some action at the back of the pack, as Zonta ran into the back of Webber's Jaguar after being pushed from behind by one of the Jordans. The Toyota driver came off worst, spinning and rejoining the race at the back of the pack.
The start has always been crucial at the Hungaroring, which despite last year's revisions, continues to offer very little overtaking opportunities. This year was no different, and the first lap order stayed unchanged as the drivers completed several action-less laps.
Schumacher immediately began to open the gap to Barrichello, while Alonso could do nothing to keep up with the Ferraris. The Renault driver was already in no-man's land, as Montoya was not close enough to challenge, when the first round of pitstops began on lap 10. Alonso was the first man to stop, and he was slowly followed by the rest of the field. With everybody on a three-stop strategy there was no room for surprises.
After everybody had pitted, Schumacher was still in the lead followed by Barrichello, Alonso, Montoya, Button and Trulli, who had gained a position on lap 14, when Raikkonen retired when his McLaren suffered yet another mechanical problem. It was the Finn's eighth retirement in 13 races.
"I'm not sure what the problem was, but the engine kept cutting out for a few laps, so there was nothing for me to do but retire," said Raikkonen. "It's a shame as we could have been in the points, but I look forward to Spa where I think we will be more competitive."
While their cars continued to run flawlessly on track, there was some drama in the Ferrari pits as the mechanics worked on the fuel rigs after a problem during the first pitstop. As precaution, the team replaced the couplings and the problem was solved. The distraction did not last long and the soporific race continued with the red cars in front.
By lap 25, Schumacher was nearly seven seconds ahead of Barrichello, with Alonso already over 20 behind. The German six-times World Champion needed until lap 28 to lap half the field as he continued towards a relentless victory.
The halfway point of the race was reached with Schumacher around 10 seconds ahead of Barrichello. Alonso was miles away from the Brazilian, while Montoya was over 12 seconds behind the Spaniard. Button continued in fifth ahead of Sato and Pizzonia, who had moved in front of Trulli as the Italian struggled with the front end of his Renault.
The Renault driver's race, however, would not last much longer, as he would retire on lap 43 with his engine gone. That promoted Fisichella to the point-scoring positions, the Sauber driver followed by Coulthard, who was more than seven seconds behind and not looking fast enough to catch, let alone pass, the Italian.
Schumacher continued to stretch his lead over Barrichello, who with some 20 laps to go was almost 20 seconds adrift. Further behind, Button was closing the gap to Montoya, but the BAR driver was never less than three seconds behind the Williams.
The final round of pitstops did not bring any changes to the running order, and although Button had pushed hard to get close to Montoya, the Briton had to settle for fifth place. Further behind, Pizzonia was also trying to catch Sato, but to no avail, the Brazilian staying in seventh place ahead of Fisichella, who gave Sauber the last point.
Schumacher eased his pace in the final laps and crossed the finish line less than five seconds in front of Barrichello to clinch his 82nd Grand Prix win and to secure Ferrari's 14th constructors' title, the sixth in succession.
"It is just so perfect. It's outstanding. To win in the style we have is just so great. Even after a superb start to the season everyone still kept going," who left his seventh title at a stone's throw heading to his favourite circuit for the Belgian Grand Prix.
The German only needs to score two more points than Barrichello to finally secure a title that should have been in his pocket a long time ago, but that has been delayed by the incoherence of the current points system. At Spa in two weeks time, and as much as it can hurt the show, justice is likely to be made.
On Sunday afternoon it was hard for anyone involved in Formula One to talk about anything other than the poor state the sport was left in following the Hungarian Grand Prix and the umpteenth demonstration of superiority from Michael Schumacher and his Ferrari team.
The Hungaroring race epitomized the most one-sided season in the history of the sport as Schumacher gave the impression that he could have lapped almost the whole field had he wanted to. In reality, he almost did lap the whole field, crushing the opposition with such apparent ease that the thought of the German going unbeaten in the five remaining races of 2004 is becoming quite a reasonable idea. And that, as far as the sport goes, is a scary prospect.
"After being here last year and not doing very well, knowing our work was so good, it was a good feeling throughout the break," said Schumacher after the race. "I had great preparation and I pushed very hard during that phase just to be really spot on and ready for the race. It just keeps going and I like to enjoy it as long as it does. One day it will finish and we all know that."
After their strong performances in recent races, McLaren faltered badly in Hungary due to a combination of the car's characteristics and a wrong tyre choice which had already hampered all their chances of a good result in qualifying. In the end, Kimi Raikkonen succumbed to yet another mechanical problem and David Coulthard was unable to beat Sauber's Giancarlo Fisichella to the final point.
First Qualifying: 1:19.107; Second Qualifying: 1:19.146
As if determined to take revenge after last year's disastrous race, Schumacher proved unbeatable when it mattered. Ferrari had done their homework and arrived in Hungary with a package that was the class of the field by miles, aided in part by the efficiency of the Bridgestone rubber. The World Champion completed a flawless flying lap to clinch his 62nd pole position - just three away from Ayrton Senna's record - and to place himself in the perfect spot to clinch a record win.
First Qualifying: 1:18.436; Second Qualifying: 1:19.323
Barrichello was on top form in Hungary, and he would have been the dominant force had he not had Schumacher as teammate. Nothing new there. The Brazilian too extracted a lot from the Ferrari package, but in the end had to concede to the World Champion's superiority. Barrichello claimed he had suffered from understeer during his flying lap. The worst of not beating Schumacher was having to take the start from the dirty side, which is usually a problem in Hungary.
3. Takuma Sato
First Qualifying: 1:19.695; Second Qualifying: 1:19.693
After a couple of races being overshadowed by Button, the Japanese driver seemed to be back on form at the Hungaroring. Sato, who had not driven at the revised circuit before, was strong all weekend long and a superb flying lap saw him lose out only to the untouchable Ferraris. As an added bonus, his time allowed him to take the start from the clean side of the track.
First Qualifying: 1:19.878; Second Qualifying: 1:19.700
The British driver arrived in Hungary determined to do his talking on the track after a week of controversy following the announcement that he will drive for the Williams team. Everyone at BAR seemed to be happy with the level of professionalism despite the expected move, and Button could concentrate on the job in hand. Although the Briton was never in contention for a place on the front row, he, along with Sato, made BAR look like Ferrari's main threat. Button completed an error-free flying lap, but he claimed he had not warmed up his tyres enough and so had failed to do his best.
First Qualifying: 1:20.435; Second Qualifying: 1:19.996
Things looked quite different for last year's pole setter and race winner, as the Michelin tyres did not seem to hold the upper hand at the Hungaroring this time around. Alonso was never in contention for pole position this time, and although he was happy with the balance of his Renault, he complained about the grip levels, which changed from pre-qualifying. Even so, the Spaniard completed a clean lap and placed himself on the clean side of the track which, given his flying start, was a big bonus.
First Qualifying: 1:20.019; Second Qualifying: 1:20.170
Williams arrived in Hungary with a new aerodynamic package whose main attraction came in the form of a conventional nose, having ditched the radical-looking "walrus". Due to the testing ban, the new parts had not been tested on track, and so the team faced an uncertain weekend. However, Pizzonia admitted he was pleased with the package right from the start and the Brazilian showed good speed in his second race for Williams. Managing to outqualify Montoya was no mean feat.
7. Juan Pablo Montoya
First Qualifying: 1:19.821; Second Qualifying: 1:20.199
For only the second time this season the Colombian had to start behind his teammate. Although he was also happy with the new aerodynamic package, qualifying saw him suffering problems with his car's balance and Montoya was forced to take it easy. Both him and Pizzonia claimed they were slowed down slightly by the light rain at the end of their respective flying laps.
First Qualifying: 1:19.668; Second Qualifying: 1:20.324
After suffering from problems with his car's balance on Friday, Fisichella's prospects improved immensely on Saturday. Sauber's problem with the tyres over a single lap were not so evident at the Hungaroring, and so Fisichella was not forced to opt for the usual two-stop strategy, thus carrying more or less the same amount of fuel as his rivals. The Italian took full advantage of that to complete his best qualifying effort of the season.
First Qualifying: 1:19.879; Second Qualifying: 1:20.411
The Renault driver was one of the unlucky few, if not the only, who was hampered by the brief moment of rain seen during final qualifying. Although the French car did not look as competitive as last year, it was easy to believe there was more speed in Trulli's machine judging by Alonso's time. As it was, however, the Italian finished nearly half a second behind his teammate.
First Qualifying: 1:20.066; Second Qualifying: 1:20.570
Raikkonen's highlight of the weekend was topping the times in Friday's practice. After that, it was all downhill for the Finn. Although the team did not expect to be as competitive as they were in Germany, their biggest problem was choosing tyres for higher temperatures, which proved to be a big mistake. With an overcast sky covering the circuit on Saturday, the temperatures went down and Raikkonen was unable to find the pace, his car sliding too much during his flying lap.
11. Mark Webber
First Qualifying: 1:21.452; Second Qualifying: 1:20.730
Jaguar took some new parts which debuted at the Hungaroring, and although Webber continued to perform as strongly as usual, they didn't seem to make a very big difference in the times. The Australian's weekend started off poorly, as he could only complete four installation laps in first practice. But things got better later on and he faced qualifying with a good set-up and a balanced car. His flying lap was good and clean, but he admitted he had been too conservative in the first sector.
First Qualifying: 1:21.192; Second Qualifying: 1:20.897
Like teammate Raikkonen, Coulthard's performance was not what was expected prior to the race. Although the poor pre-qualifying pace suggested both McLaren drivers had gone slowly to avoid a late rain, in the end the truth was seen: the MP4-19B lacked pace. The Scot said later that the Hungaroring was not the best track for the McLaren package, and a wrong tyre choice did not help either. He was not far off Raikkonen's pace, but 12th position at a track where it's virtually impossible to overtake left Coulthard in a difficult situation for the race.
First Qualifying: 1:21.491; Second Qualifying: 1:21.068
Despite no testing between the German and Hungarian Grands Prix, more was expected from the revised Toyota which made its debut at the Hockenheim circuit. With better knowledge of the revised aerodynamic package, Panis kicked off his weekend in fine style by finishing near the top of the times on Friday. In the end, however, it was a fluke. The Frenchman was baffled by his lack of pace, which he attributed to the stronger winds. Whatever the cause, the Toyota lost grip and Panis struggled.
First Qualifying: 1:21.510; Second Qualifying: 1:21.118
For the fifth race in a row, Klien had to settle for a place behind his teammate Webber, and although the gap to the Australian was relatively small, the rookie's performance was not enough to set the world alight. The Austrian had driven around the Hungaroring in an F3000 car, but had to spend Friday familiarizing with the revised layout. Ending up in the gravel after just 10 laps in Friday's first practice session didn't help his chances.
15. Ricardo Zonta
First Qualifying: 1:20.199; Second Qualifying: 1:21.135
Although Zonta had driven the third Toyota all year, Saturday's qualifying was his first attempt at the new one-lap system, which has proven not too easy to get used to. With that in mind, and considering he had not raced a Formula One car since 2001, his qualifying showing was solid, finishing less than a tenth of a second behind teammate Panis. Despite being close to the Frenchman, however, his performance could not hide the fact that Toyota had a disappointing day.
First Qualifying: 1:20.439; Second Qualifying: 1:22.180
The Jordan driver enjoyed a strong start to his weekend that suggested the Mickey Mouse circuit would suit his and his car's style better than other circuits. Heidfeld finished less than two seconds off the pace in Friday practice, which was an improvement over recent performances, but final qualifying proved different, his car handling very differently and the German driver finishing over three seconds behind the pole position time.
First Qualifying: 1:21.187; Second Qualifying: 1:22.356
Pantano had a promising Saturday practice that boosted his hopes of a somewhat strong result: he was very happy with the balance of his Jordan on used tyres. That, unfortunately for the Italian, changed drastically when the EJ14 used new rubber for qualifying, and Pantano had a difficult time when completing his flying lap, losing a lot of time in the last two sectors.
First Qualifying: 1:24.656; Second Qualifying: 1:24.329
Celebrating one year since his Grand Prix debut, the Hungarian driver wanted to do well in front of his home crowd, and so he tried his best every time he was on track. The Minardi, however, seemed to handle very poorly over the slippery circuit and Baumgartner never had a chance of getting close to his rivals. On the positive side, at least he managed to outqualify his teammate Bruni and escaped the final row of the grid thanks to Massa's problems.
First Qualifying: 1:23.362; Second Qualifying: 1:24.679
An image is worth a thousand words, and watching a lap of Hungaroring on-board one of the Minardis was the only explanation needed to know the struggle Bruni and his teammate were facing at the twisty circuit. The Italian driver fought with the steering wheel of his car all weekend, and the ill-handling nature of his machine reflected on the times. Bruni finished over 2.3 seconds behind the closest of the non-Minardi rivals, and that in the second shortest circuit of the calendar.
First Qualifying: 1:19.658; Second Qualifying: No time
Despite a downpour on Saturday afternoon, there was no sign of rain come race day, and so when the start took place there was no fear of a first ever wet Hungarian Grand Prix. At the start, Schumacher got away cleanly and had no problems to keep his lead as Barrichello, on the dirty side of the track, came close to losing second place to Alonso, who made one his trademark start to jump from fifth to third in the space of a few meters.
On the following lap, it was Alonso again who triggered the second round of pitstops, the Spaniard being followed by the rest of the field. Barrichello pitted on lap 31, the team using Schumacher's fuel rig to avoid any problems, and resumed his race without any dramas.
