Practice One – Hamilton leads Vettel in Hungary

Lewis Hamilton gave McLaren another fillip by setting the fastest time in Friday morning’s first practice session for the Hungarian round, which was run in overcast but dry conditions with a track temperature of 23 degrees Celsius.

The 2008 champion, a winner here in 2007 and 2009, set the pace with 1m 23.350s, 0.214s clear of Sebastian Vettel’s Red Bull on 1m 23.564s and 0.292s up on Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso who lapped in 1m 23.642s.
