Hamilton tops in both sessions

LEWIS HAMILTON continued his resurgent return to form by taking the honours in both of yesterday’s practice sessions for Sunday’s Hungarian Grand Prix.

Hamilton finished the opening 90-minute practice session at the Hungaroring 0.214secs clear of championship leader Sebastian Vettel in his Red Bull, posting a lap of one minute 23.350secs.

In the afternoon Hamilton slashed over two seconds off that time as he maintained top spot. Around what is rightly regarded as a tight and twisty track, the 26-year-old covered the 14 turns of the 2.722-mile circuit in a time of 1:21.018secs.
