A major aerodynamic upgrade came for the next Grand Prix in Hungary. A large amount of time and money had been used on the first upgrade of the season. Jean Alesi also joined the team in a surprise move after leaving the Prost team (Frentzen, ironically, would take his vacated seat for the balance of the season). Trulli started fifth, but gradually fell back and retired outside of the points after holding up a huge queue of cars early on. Alesi had a steady drive to a mere tenth after a poor qualifying performance and equally poor start. The team were now despairing, as the upgrade had made no difference to the car's performance, and the team were now sixth in the championship, behind BAR and Sauber, despite having the potentially faster car.
