Sebastian Vettel has offered a lukewarm assessment of the revised Hungaroring following free pracᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚtice for the Hungarian Grand Prix, saying it is a shame to lose 'the typical Hungary bumps'

The four-time champion ended FP2 third fastest as Ferrari found itself in competition with Red Bull for a 'best of the rest' role behind Mercedes, Vettel three tenths adrift of second place Daniel Ricciardo but almost a second in arrears of pace setꦜter Nico Rꦍosberg.

Indeed, though Vettel says the SF16-T 'felt fine' in FP꧃2, he says there are improvements to be made in all areas overnight.

"We need to better in sectors one, two and three - there is not one sector that stands out. As I said, I am not entirely happy with the balance, so naturally if the balance comes more together I think we can improve overnight and improve in sectors one, two and three. It's not a surprise that Mercedes is good.

"We lost a bit of time in the beginning with the red flag it was not ideal. We had to come in a couple of times and re-programme the car, so we had to come in and go out, but we were able to fix it so that's good news. We lost a bit of t🤪he rhythm, but it was OK and the car felt fine and I think we can improve th💖e set-up for tomorrow and find a better balance in the car."

On a weekend that has seen Vettel - winner in Hungary last season - scathingly criticise the move by the FIA to tweak the 💃radio rules and introduce an electronic track limits detection device, he was also left unimpressed by the smoot🐽her surface of the Hungarian circuit.

"It's a shame because a lot of the bumps are gone," he continued. "It was typical Hungary to have a very bumpy track and I hope in a couple of years the 💦bumps will come back.🍌 It's very grippy, so obviously it's nice to go faster."
