Sebastian Vettel edged out Red Bull's Max Verstappen to go fastest for Ferrari on the opening day of practice for tomorrow's Hungarian Grand Prix. The German, who crashed out of the lead of the last race in Hockenheim and fell 17 points behind Mercedes rival Lewis Hamilton, set a benchmark time of one minute 16.834 seconds, beating Verstappen by just 0.074 seconds.

The two men were the only drivers to lap faster than the one minute 17 second mark. Hamilton, who capitalised on Vettel's mistake in Germany by scoring a resounding win from 14th on the grid, could only manage the fifth fastest time on Friday ahead of team-mate Valtteri Bottas.
