Hungarian GP Friday practice

17:43 That's it for Autosport Live this afternoon - but stayed tuned to Autosport.com and Motorsport.com for all the post-practice F1 reaction from Hungary, as well as reports on Formula 2, Formula 3, WRC Finland and the Spa 24 Hours.

See you back here for FP3 tomorrow morning.

17:41 Here’s our report on second practice for the Hungarian Grand Prix, which was topped by Vettel ahead of Verstappen and Ricciardo, while the Mercedes drivers struggled for single-lap pace.

Hungarian Grand Prix practice: Sebastian Vettel puts Ferrari ahead

Sebastian Vettel topped the second Formula 1 free practice session for the Hungarian Grand Prix in his Ferrari, shading Red Bull's Max Verstappen by 0.074 seconds

17:33 Ricciardo was getting pretty annoyed by the traffic towards the end of the session. "Another f*cker that's using DRS. I just have to pass out of principle," he tells Red Bull.

17:31 So here’s the final standings for FP2

1 Vettel
2 Verstappen
3 Ricciardo
4 Raikkonen
5 Hamilton
6 Bottas
7 Grosjean
8 Sainz
9 Gasly
10 Ocon
11 Perez
12 Alonso
13 Magnussen
14 Hulkenberg
15 Hartley
16 Ericsson
17 Leclerc
18 Stroll
19 Vandoorne
20 Sirotkin

17:30 That's it for FP2 - Vettel tops the session with a 1m16.834s ahead of Verstappen.

17:29 Just a minute remaining in FP2 if any more drivers want to block a rival or complain about being blocked. Gripping stuff.

17:28 Two minutes left on the clock.

17:28

17:27 Hartley furious with Alonso for the second time in FP2 - "He's done it again," the New Zealander says of the McLaren getting in the way at the penultimate corner.

17:25 Missing the first half of FP2 has understandably hurt Hulkenberg's lap count in this session - he's on 18, the fewest of anyone, in P14 for Renault.

17:23

17:22 The Mercedes drivers lead the milage charts in FP2, both Hamilton and Bottas have completed 40 laps.

17:21 Just nine minutes of FP2 left. Yes, nine.

17:19

17:19 Toro Rosso tells Hartley the track temperature has "dropped eight degrees" under the heavy cloud cover.

17:18

17:17 Vettel not impressed to be cut off by Sainz approaching Turn 2.

17:14 Vandoorne is told that the "rainstorm is not coming closer".

17:12 Raikkonen has moved to the medium tyres, will both Mercedes drivers have switched to the softs.

17:10 Less than 20 minutes to go in FP2.

17:10 Ericsson comes in for a practice pitstop but he's urgently told to stop and switch off his car at the end of pitlane - a possible unsafe release for the Sauber driver.

17:08 "I'm disturbed all the time, is there not another gap I can fit into?" Verstappen asks Red Bull, which tells the Dutch driver there isn't.

17:07

17:07 "I just had Hulkenberg blocking me," Perez reports to Force India. The Mexican driver had caught the Renault at the Turn 13 left hander.

17:06 All the drivers are circulating on the ultrasofts - except for Hulkenberg on the mediums and Vandoorne on the softs.

17:02

17:02 With just 30 minutes remaining, here’s the order:

1 Vettel
2 Verstappen
3 Ricciardo
4 Raikkonen
5 Hamilton
6 Bottas
7 Grosjean
8 Sainz
9 Gasly
10 Ocon
11 Perez
12 Alonso
13 Magnussen
14 Hulkenberg
15 Hartley
16 Ericsson
17 Leclerc
18 Stroll
19 Vandoorne
20 Sirotkin

17:00

17:00 "It's quite dark here," Verstappen tells Red Bull.

16:58

16:57 It is certainly very overcast at the track now.

16:56 The storm clouds that Mercedes told Hamilton were moving away from the Hungaroring are building up, nevertheless.

16:56 The field are now well into their race simulations.

16:55 "Stroll just cut me off completely, don't think he saw me," Ericsson tells Sauber.

16:54 Replays show Ericsson nearly ran into the back of Stroll at Turn 13 - the Williams came across late, possibly unsighted, but it was clumsy.

16:53 Vandoorne lost the rear of his McLaren as he clipped the grass with his left-rear tyre and he spun through 360 degrees onto the run-off area. But he's able to get going again and returns to the pits.

16:51 Vandoorne is off at Turn 5!
