Lewis Hamilton continued to set the ultimate pace in second practice for the Hungarian Grand Prix as the McLaren man led the way with a 1m21.018s lap ahead of Fernando Alonso’s Ferrari.
In a session dominated by long runs and analysis on the relative degradation of Pirelli’s supersoft option and harder prime tyres, Hamilton went fastest on an early short run with his red-walled tyres 50 minutes in and was never headed thereafter, though it was Red Bull that looked strong in the late soft-tyre analysis.
Hamilton’s team-mate Jenson Button was third quickest ahead of Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel’s Red Bulls, proving if nothing else that the weekend promises to be very close between the top three teams once again.

An initial threat of a shower prompted the teams to fire out of the pits early in P2 and very quickly Hamilton was back to the top of the timesheets with a time of 1m22.969s. Yahoo! Eurosport UK
Behind the leading quintet, it was a case of as you were to earlier in the day, with Ferrari’s Felipe Massa a second adrift in sixth.
The Brazilian was followed by Mercedes duo Nico Rosberg - competing in his 100th race - and seven-times champion Michael Schumacher.
Force India again look strong, with Paul di Resta ninth and team- mate Adrian Sutil 10th, both just under two seconds off the pace.
The Hispania duo of Daniel Ricciardo and Vitantonio Liuzzi again sat at the bottom of the timesheet, around seven seconds down.
However, Australian Ricciardo at least managed to turn the tables on his Italian team-mate compared to their positions in the morning as he finished half a second quicker. Telegraph.co.uk
