This weekend has been circled on the calendars of everyone at Red Bull – from the moment Daniel Ricciardo crossed the line to win in Monaco in May – as the team's next big chance.
But Friday practice at the Hungaroring proved that Ferrari is a serious threat and that Red Bull has its work cut out if it's to steal a fourth victory of the season, after Sebastian Vettel set the pace in practice two. Red Bull will have a shot at victory on race pace, but those anticipating a Monaco-style walkover will be disappointed.
