Vettel Fastest in Friday Practices
BUDAPEST — Sebastian Vettel delivered a day of near-metronomic speed and precision on Friday as he and Red Bull dominated both free practice sessions ahead of Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix.
The 26-year-old defending triple world champion, who is seeking his first win in Hungary, twice outpaced his Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber in sweltering conditions at the Hungaroring.
His second performance in the afternoon saw him clock a lap in one minute and 21.264 seconds that lifted him clear of Webber by just four-hundredths of a second in a closely-contested contest at the top.
It was almost demonstration driving by the pair as they confirmed Red Bull's superiority in the conditions to the dismay of those, including Ferrari and their fans, hoping to find a way of halting their express charge towards another title.
Vettel, in particular, appeared to relish his car's performance and justify his claim that he needs no motivation to carry on racing. "I don't think much, I think that helps," he quipped.
Romain Grosjean was third fastest for Lotus ahead of two-time champion Fernando Alonso and his Ferrari team-mate Felipe Massa.
Alonso recorded the first win of his career in Hungary while Massa suffered the blackest day of his at the circuit when he suffered serious head injuries in 2009.
Lewis Hamilton, the 2008 champion, was eighth fastest after a day spent struggling with the new Pirelli tyres. He finished just ahead of his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg, Kimi Raikkonen of Lotus and Jenson Button of McLaren.
