Lewis Hamilton maintained his advantage at the top of the timesheets during second practice for the Hungarian Grand Prix, setting the fastest time of Friday practice with a 1:21.018.
He was 0.241s faster than his nearest competitor Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso, with Jenson Button third fastest in the second McLaren, 0.304s off his team-mate’s pace. The Red Bulls were fourth and fifth with Mark Webber leading Sebastian Vettel by 0.041s.
The times were significantly faster than the morning session as drivers bolted on the sticky supersoft tyres and track temperatures rose by 10C. It’s clear that the top three teams will be closely matched this weekend, and Red Bull showed none of the early signs of dominance they displayed at the same circuit last year. ESPN.co.uk
