Lewis Hamilton set the pace in practice in Hungary on FridayLewis Hamilton strengthened his bid for a record eighth world championship by setting the fastest time in practice for Sunday’s Hungarian Grand Prix. Hamilton heads into the concluding round before Formula One’s three-week summer shutdown trailing Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli by 45 points. The Hungaroring is a track where Hamilton has so often ruled – winning eight times here – a feat no other driver can match. The 19-year-old then struggled to get up to speed in the second running, making mistakes on both of his quick laps, to leave him almost two seconds back. Lance Stroll’s rear suspension failed in first practice, meaning he was unable to take part in the second running.
