Hungarian GP, ​​Free Practice 3: Vettel ahead of Alonso

Best time for Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull Racing) in the third and final free practice session of the Hungarian Formula 1 GP. On Saturday morning at the Hungaroring the German managed to make the most of the work of the Red Bull mechanics who attempted to improve the tuning of the two RB7s during the night. Second time for Fernando Alonso's Ferrari ahead of Jenson Button's McLaren and the other Red Bull of Mark Webber.
Fifth time for the other Ferrari of Felipe Massa.

Vettel led the standings from mid-session after lapping 1.22.021 on hard tyres. Alonso, however, was the first driver to set a good time on the soft tires and overtook the German in the lead, lapping in 10 with 1.21.469 minutes to go. The world champion, however, responded with 1.21.168, taking 3 tenths of a second from the Spaniard. Despite Button's third fastest time, Lewis Hamilton was unable to express his full potential. Having run wide at Turn 1 at the start of his first fast lap on soft tyres, the Englishman reported that he had brake problems and therefore returned to the pits after another lap. Hamilton then finished seventh fastest.

Some mistakes for Massa in his lap on supersoft tires with the Brazilian having previously narrowly avoided the barriers after an excursion on the grass.

Nico Rosberg's Mercedes completes the top 6 ahead of Hamilton and Michael Schumacher's other Mercedes. Vitaly Petrov's Renault and Paul di Resta's Force India follow. Fuel system problems for Nick Heidfeld's Renault.
