0946: This cool weather chat is not good news for Brawn, you have to think, although yesterday Jenson Button was feeling quite optimistic. "Our pace is good, but I don't know how good. There's a lot of work we still need to do, we won't know until qualifying. I'm happy to be here, and in a position to drive this car. It's a good car to drive here. I don't know if it's the same as Turkey (where he had his last win), but it's nice, and I haven't felt that for the last two races."

BBC Sport's Andrew Benson at the Hungaroring: "It's one of those days when no-one quite knows what to wear. Some people in the paddock have got coats on - which seems a bit excessive considering it's at least 20C - while BMW driver Nick Heidfeld was in shorts and flip-flops half an hour before practice. But then he does have his beard to keep him warm. One thing's for sure, though - they've turned off the water-spray fans at the cool-off area in the paddock."

Force India on Twitter: "Overcast and high winds now. Rain overnight and roads were wet coming to the track. It's drying up now and blue skies coming through."


0940: If you want to check out that first corner and indeed the rest of the Hungaroring, why not allow Red Bull's Mark Webber to talk you through it?

Jenson Button on Twitter: "Good morning. Just about to jump on the couch for my pre practice massage. Not as enjoyable as u might think!"

0933: Some very exciting Twitter activity this morning, which means I might not have time to tell you what's going on in the final practice session at 1000 BST... tsk, I'm joking of course. At 1300 BST, it's qualifying. And if I tell you there's only really one overtaking corner at the Hungaroring - and that's the first one - you'll understand just how crucial that session is going to be.

0930: Udvozlet! Or welcome. Trust we find you in fine fettle this morning. Or fine Vettel should I say. Ahem. Sorry. Some people like a cup of tea, I like to start the day with a terrible pun. There'll be no more of that... oh, who am I kidding?
