Webber tops final practice in Hungary

By on

Mark Webber moved Lewis Hamilton back to second place after the McLaren driver easily dominated both sessions on Friday. Webber set the pace in his Red Bull and was not matched in the closing stages. Sebastian Vettel was third fastest, showing Red Bull Racing's overnight progress.

Mark Webber set the early pace with a lap of 1:21.550, followed by Sebastian Vettel.

With 20 minutes left, Bruno Senna showed that his Williams is well balanced and has great pace around the Hungaroring as he set a 4th time on the soft tyres. This was faster than Alonso and Raikkonen.

Vettel had another go in the final minutes but went too wide in turn 4 and had to back off. Button did manage to run a clean lap at that stage but didn't manage better than 10, more than 6 tenths off the pace.
