Max Verstappen was third-fastest but 0.281 secs off Norris, with George Russell in fourth and Carlos Sainz fifth!

6-10: Ricciardo, Albon, Hulkenberg, Tsunoda, Hamilton

Leclerc in P11 with Perez P13!

Just as Oscar Piastri moves up to P2 for a McLaren one-two, Lewis Hamilton has a spin in turn 10 as he loses the Mercedes car!

The seven-time world champion not satisfied with his machinery at the moment, languishing down in P10.

Meanwhile, Max Verstappen goes P3 with a late run on the softs, Perez only P13.

That was a terrific lap from the McLaren as he goes even faster with a 1:16:098, four-tenths quicker than George Russell in second!

Still no signs of the softs on the Red Bulls, nor the Aston Martins.

The McLaren driver – quickest in FP2 on Friday – goes top with a 1:16:931, 0.358 secs quicker than Carlos Sainz in second.

Daniel Ricciardo a surprise name up in third, with Yuki Tsunoda in fourth and Oscar Piastri fifth!

6-10: Hulkenberg, Magnussen, Hamilton, Albon, Alonso

Both Red Bulls yet to go on the softs though, with Verstappen P12 and Perez P20.

Meanwhile, Pierre Gasly has had an off without his tyres not yet warmed up and Charles Leclerc had a big lock-up at turn one.

Twenty minutes in and after 15 minutes of not a lot of action, nearly all the cars are now out on track at the Hungaroring!

Albon top with a 1:17:646 on softs, three-tenths quicker than Verstappen in second. Fernando Alonso a touch behind in third.

Most drivers on soft tyres now as they prepare for qualifying later..

Session underway – but no rush from most of the drivers!

It’s the Sauber of Zhou Guanyu out on track, with Red Bull’s Sergio Perez also joining him – both need a good weekend in Budapest!

It’s a bit more overcast in Budapest than it was yesterday as the drivers get ready for their third and final practice session this weekend!

Sky F1 pundit Chandhok was interviewing a trio of Red Bull drivers including Verstappen, Perez and Daniel Ricciardo at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last weekend.

Chandhok, having spoken to Ricciardo about the prospect of appearing in the Goodwood Revival in September, then asked three-time F1 world champion Verstappen whether he’d like to appear and drive cars from pre-1996.

“I think that will clear his head and open up some performance and opportunity. He’s been carrying some demons since Abu Dhabi 2021, it’s been a struggle – when the car did win a couple of races, it was in the hands of George Russell

“It’s too strong to say he’s been to hell and back, but he’s been through some difficult times.”
