MOGYOROD, Hungary, July 29 -- Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel of Germany won the third practice session on Saturday before the qualifying session of the Hungarian F1 Grand Prix at Hungaroring in Mogyorod, Hungary.

Vettel won the last practice session with a time of 1 minute 17.017 seconds. His teammate Kimi Raikkonen of Finland placed second in 1:17.492, increasing the expectation of the Maranello-based team for the upcoming qualifying session. Mercedes' Finnish driver Valtteri Bottas placed third in 1:17.914.

Vettel's closest rival in the overall championship standing, Mercedes' driver Lewis Hamilton of Britain managed only 5th, trailing more than a second.

The fastest driver of Friday's two sessions, Australian Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo was 8th. He had to stop after only seven laps in Turn 9 due to apparent electronics issue - his gearbox was stuck in 5th gear.

Unlike Friday's sessions, which saw three red flags, the Saturday's morning session had no accidents, with only Hass' French driver Romain Grosjean spinning in one of the corners.
