Sebastian Vettel set the fastest time in the second round of the Hungarian Grand Prix, where the Mercedes did not show good speed.
On a day-long duel for Ferrari, after the death this week of his former President Sergio Marchionne, Vettel was faster than Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo of Red Bull.
The same three pilots commanded the first hours of training earlier, with Ricciardo ahead of Vettel and Verstappen.
Vettel's Ferrari partner Kimi Raikkonen was fourth in both sessions. Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas, Mercedes' drivers, fifth and sixth respectively.
The narrow dimensions of the Hungaroring circuit is one of the most difficult to overcome in Formula One, and benefits the Red Bull single-seaters and Ferrari with better aerodynamic load. The Ferrari's made it 1-2 last year, when Vettel dominated Raikkonen
judging by the practice, all indications are that Mercedes will have a lot to do during the night to make their cars more competitive Saturday.
Hamilton, who has just won the Grand Prix of Germany after taking 14th place on the grid, lost control of his car for a brief moment and complained about the l '. condition of his tires.
