The Red Bull driver set the quickest time of the weekend so far, covering a lap of the Hungaroring in 1’21.550.
Kimi Raikkonen set the pace to begin with on medium tyres with a 1’22.718. That was beaten by Lewis Hamilton, the McLaren driver taking a couple of laps to string together a series of fastest sectors.
Once he did the McLaren was flying, Hamilton eventually lowering his best to a 1’21.706.
Meanwhile Red Bull were making an early start on assessing the soft tyres. Sebastian Vettel’s first lap on them was just 0.035s faster than Hamilton’s on mediums.
Vettel improved his middle sector time on his second effort but wasn’t able to lower his lap time. Team mate Mark Webber was, however, setting a 1’21.550 to go fastest.
That stood as the fastest time of the session as Hamilton was unable to beat it after he switched to soft tyres. A 1’21.643 left him less than a tenth of a second off.
Team mate Jenson Button couldn’t get much out of the soft tyres either – he ended the session tenth, 0.683s off the pace.
Bruno Senna repeated his strong performance from yesterday and was fourth with a lap of 1’21.876.
The Ferrari drivers stayed in the pits for the first 20 minutes of the session. Once they emerged, Fernando Alonso went fifth quickest with a lap of 1’21.884.
