Ferrari drivers Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen suggested they had put their team's technical problems behind them after setting the fastest times in Thursday's first practice session for the Hungarian Grand Prix.

Brazilian Massa had the morning's quickest lap of one minute 20.981 seconds with Finnish team-mate Raikkonen second fastest, in 1:21.345.

Ferrari's arch-rivals McLaren were the second fastest team in the opening session with Heikki Kovalainen setting the third best time of 1:21.410.
