Lewis Hamilton leads the way for McLaren during practice for Hungarian Grand Prix

From Reuters: "Happy Hamilton Puts McLaren on Top"
BUDAPEST - World champion Lewis Hamilton led a day of domination for McLaren at the Hungarian Grand Prix on Friday while Spanish teenager Jaime Alguersuari made a confident Formula One debut with 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.

There's also been lots of talk in the past few days about British Formula 3 champion Jaime Alguersuari. The Spaniard is set to become the youngest F1 racer in the sport's history at 19 years and 125 days - and his arrival has sparked lots of debate and fear that he will be a danger to the other drivers on the grid.
