Hamilton back on top form: Hungarian GP FP1 Results

Lewis Hamilton topped the timesheets by a tenth of a second from Max Verstappen an Sebastian Vettel as the championship leader looked to have shaken off his Hockenheim hangover in first practice for the Hungarian Grand Prix.

All three leading constructors were in close quarters in terms of lap time to start the Budapest weekend.

Ferrari showed impressive strength in the first sector, despite the SF90 having been predicted to struggle around one of the lower-speed circuits on the calendar.

Although Hamilton led the way, there was concern for the Silver Arrows as Valtteri Bottas spent almost the entire session in the garage after a power unit issue was found on the Finn's car. The team made a change, which will not incur Bottas any grid penalties.

Rain sprinkled the track early on and many drivers struggled with grip, notably Verstappen, who caught two spins in the session.
