Kubica on top in Hungary practice

BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica set the quickest time in first practice for Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix.

The Pole held off the Ferrari pair of Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen.

Reigning Formula One champion Fernando Alonso was fourth fastest, less than a tenth of a second quicker than his McLaren team-mate Lewis Hamilton.

Three times Hamilton, who leads Alonso in the drivers' championship, set his fastest lap only for the Spaniard to come out and eclipse his times.
