Sebastian Vettel ensured that Red Bull Racing remained on top in Hungary after topping second free practice for the Hungarian Grand Prix.
As was the case in the opening session, the fight for top spot was initially a fight between Vettel and team-mate Mark Webber as the Milton Keynes-based squad continued to lead the way, with the duo swapping position on top of the times.
Vettel eventually prevailed as he set a time of 1min 20.087secs on the super soft Bridgestone tyres although the German could have dipped into the 1min 19secs without hitting traffic entering the final corners on what was set to be an even quicker time.
