F1 Results Today: Hungarian Grand Prix practice times and positions

Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari dominated FP2 in Friday practice by thrashing title rivals Mercedes ahead of Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix.

Charles Leclerc had gone fastest ahead of Max Verstappen and Hamilton in the morning's FP1 session, but it was the seven-time world champion who set the fastest time in the afternoon ahead of his Ferrari team-mate and nearly half-a-second quicker than McLaren's Lando Norris.

Kimi Antonelli had sat out the morning session for Mercedes, being replaced by development driver Fred Vesti, but the world championship leader struggled in the afternoon, posting only the 13th fastest time having struggled to find a balance in his car.

Team-mate George Russell had slightly more joy in his Mercedes finishing fifth as he looks to get back into the title race at the Hungaroring, 50 points behind the Italian.

This was the weekend Aston Martin introduced 16 upgrades to their car and while Fernando Alonso was an encouraging 13th fastest in FP1, he could only finish 19th in FP2, only ahead of Cadillac's Sergio Perez, Franco Colapinto (who crashed for Alpine) and team-mate Lance Stroll.

Stroll didn't even make it out on track in FP2, having suffered a rear suspension failure in FP1 that team boss Adrian Newey admitted needing further investigation.
