Motor Sport:Sebastian Vettel returned to top spot on the grid at the end of one of the most hotly contested qualifying sessions of the season. Lewis Hamilton led the way after the first run in the top-10 shoot-out for tomorrow's Hungarian Grand Prix, only to be deposed by the reigning world champion.

The pole at Hungaroring is Vettel’s 23rd of his career, and eighth in 11 grands prix this season, but his first for three races following a lean run by his own high standards.

Hamilton, who endured a poor middle sector in his second run at the 2.722-mile circuit, missed out by 0.163secs to Vettel who posted a lap of one minute 19.815secs for his second successive pole at this track.
