Hamilton leads McLaren one-two in practice

Budapest: World champion Lewis Hamilton led a McLaren one-two in Hungarian Grand Prix practice on Friday while Spanish teenager Jaime Alguersuari made a confident Formula One debut for Toro Rosso.Hamilton was quickest overall with a lap of one minute 22.079 seconds, ahead of last year`s winner and team mate Heikki Kovalainen in 1:22.126, in the afternoon.

Kovalainen was fastest in the morning in 1:22.278. With clear skies and temperatures of around 26 Celsius, McLaren`s new aerodynamic package immediately looked competitive. The former champions have yet to get on the podium this season but that could change this weekend with Hamilton also third fastest in the morning. "What a podium result would do for this team, you can`t imagine how good the feeling would be," Hamilton had said on his arrival on Thursday. "Even though we`ve had podiums for our whole two years (at the team) this would feel very special." Bureau Report
