Kovalainen hope sits the first of many victories
Heiki Kovalainen wins!Heikki Kovalainen hopes there are many more wins to come for him in Formula 1 after scoring his maiden win at Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix. The McLaren driver saw Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa run in to trouble and finished ahead of Toyota's Timo Glock.

Speaking about his first win in Formula One Kovalainen said: "This is a great moment, it feels fantastic really. This is a moment I have been targeting for many years now and to achieve this goal is pleasing. I hope this is the first of many."

Kovalainen did admit his team mate Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari's Felipe Massa were quicker than him during the race but he said he kept pushing hoping Massa would run in to trouble. "Of course I'm very happy with this win. We have been in a position to fight for race wins this season but there was always something going wrong. Today Lewis (Hamilton) and Massa were fastest in the r ace but I tried to push Massa hoping he would have a mechanical failure and it seemed to have worked."
