Lucky Strike BAR Honda's drivers are looking forward to Hungary, with Jenson Button after a podium, while Takuma Sato is determined to finally have a good race. "Our podium finish in the German Grand Prix has given everyone at the team a boost," said Button, "so we head to Hungary in high spirits.

"The Hungaroring is a very twisty circuit and it's also pretty bumpy," he adds. "It's not one of my favourites when it comes to the actual racing because it is so hard to overtake. It's also a tough race for the drivers physically because the temperatures are usually so hot.

"I did reasonably well in Hungary last year so I'm looking forward to going back, especially after the result we had in Hockenheim this weekend."

Last seasons race saw Jenson start form fourth on the grid, but finish fifth, over a minute behind race winner Michael Schumacher.

Takuma Sato started ahead of Jenson, lining up third. His race pace suffered slightly, and he followed Jenson home in sixth.

"The Hungaroring is a difficult circuit to overtake at so qualifying position is even more important," says Sato. "Even though I had a tough race in Hockenheim this weekend, I will start qualifying from a reasonable position which will help. The car is getting better all the time and performed well in Germany, so I am looking forward to getting to Hungary.

"I am determined to have a good race there."
