Sixth & seventh on the Hungarian GP Grid was all the BMW WilliamsF1 drivers were able to achieve. Pizzonia would beat team-mate Juan Pablo by the smallest of margins. As to whether the team can achive a good result will come down to strategy on Sunday.

| For the
BMW WilliamsF1 team the final qualifying session for the Hungarian Grand
Prix would produce a some what disappointing result that would see
Pizzonia and Juan Pablo in sixth and seventh positions. Pizzonia would
finish just ahead of the Colombian answering any concerns that were had
about his qualifying after his poor performance in Germany.
The opening qualifying
session would see the Ferrari team the one to beat with Barrichello
leading team-mate Michael Schumacher. They were followed by the Sauber's
of Felipe Massa and Giancarlo Fisichella. But now it was down to the
final qualifying to make up the grid for the Hungarian Grand Prix. The Sauber pair was next
followed by the Ferrari's. First out was Fisichella. He would be seven
tenths down after sector two, and would finish his lap in sixth with a
time of 1m:20.324. Team-mate Massa was meant to be the next out but the
team has decided to start him from the back of the grid. |

Both
drivers were over a second behind the pole time and Sundays race again
will end up with the team looking to score points rather than challenge
for a win.
With
a few spots of rain now it was Jenson Button who would take to the
track. The BAR driver would see him pick up time in the final two
sectors to go fastest, a time of 1m:19.700. The second FW26 was next out
and Juan Pablo was ahead of Button's time in sector one but would lose
time over the rest of the lap to finish in fourth, behind team-mate
Pizzonia. Now it was down to the final group of drivers. The first was
Takuma Sato. The BAR driver would be three tenths up after sector one,
four tenths up after sector two, to finish his lap in provisional pole
with a time of 1m:19.693 and beat team-mate Button by seven thousands of
a second.
