The Hungarian grand prix looks set to be a fight between Red Bull and Ferrari.<\/p>\n
Championship leaders McLaren were more than a second off the pace during Friday practice at the twisty Hungaroring.<\/p>\n
“We’re losing quite a bit of time in the middle sector, and a couple of tenths in the first and third sectors, too,” admitted Lewis Hamilton.<\/p>\n
Red Bull were untouchable in the morning, and easily fastest again in the afternoon, but Sebastian Vettel said he expects a strong challenge from Ferrari.<\/p>\n
“On the long runs, the times were quite similar,” said the German.<\/p>\n
Hockenheim winner Fernando Alonso, second fastest in the afternoon but with a half-second deficit to Vettel, agreed.<\/p>\n
“We are confident the difference is not as big as it seems, but obviously they (Red Bull) seem stronger than Hockenheim in a way,” said the Ferrari driver.<\/p>\n
And Mark Webber is not ruling out the McLarens.<\/p>\n
“We shouldn’t forget them; they have proven many times this year that they can make a step forward from Friday to Saturday,” said the Australian.<\/p>\n
