Formula One: Formula One championship leader Lewis Hamilton set the fastest time of today's two practice sessions for the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Hamilton, who will be chasing his third successive win in Sunday's race, powered his McLaren round the Hungaroring track in one minute, 20.554 seconds.
The 23-year-old Briton had been fourth fastest in the opening session behind Ferrari's Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen and his own team mate Heikki Kovalainen but improved in the afternoon to beat Massa's morning benchmark of 1:20.981.
Brazilian Renault driver Nelson Piquet set the afternoon's second fastest time of 1:20.748, spinning off shortly after crossing the line, followed by Kovalainen in 1:20.760.
Piquet's team mate Fernando Alonso improved from 1:21.802 in the first session to record the afternoon's fourth fastest time of 1:21.928.
Following their 1-2 in the morning, the Ferraris had to settle for fifth and sixth in the second session.
Toro Rosso's Sebastian Vettel suffered a frustrating day after being stopped in each session by what he later told reporters had been a hydraulic problem.
The German, competing in his first full Formula One season, completed a total of just nine laps, finishing bottom of the timesheets each time.
