40'
Webber and Hamilton have emerged on track - will be worth watching how the Mercedes man fares in particular.
41'
Ricciardo into 7th. He'll know that his every performance will be watched by Red Bull more closely than ever.
42'
Decent lap from Perez to split the Lotuses - his McLaren has looked better than it has for much of the season. Which isn't saying much, admittedly.

Meanwhile Grosjean eclipses Raikkonen on medium tyres - 1:22.345 - good effort from the junior driver at Lotus.
44'
Still plenty of chatter about whether Raikkonen will be the man to replace Webber at Red Bull - one thing is for sure, it's not sorted out yet. He's not happy at Lotus, reportedly because he's not being paid on time. Will make it hard for them to keep him...

Raikkonen moves the session along with a much quicker lap - 1:22.717 leads the lap times now.
46'
Marussia join the track with Bianchi, and a Lotus emerges (it's Raikkonen). Pretty quiet otherwise.
47'
Vettel puts a lap time down - nothing dramatic - a 1:25.888 which slots in behind the Caterham duo.

Current temperature 35C - on track it's into 43C. The predictions for this afternoon's qualifying are for 50C on the tarmac.
49'
Pic warned that his tyres are 'at the limit'. Worth noting because it is scorching in Hungary today. Tyres will suffer.
50'
A team to watch out for today is Mercedes - they missed the Silverstone tyre test through suspension, and having dominated qualifying this season they were well off the pace yesterday.
51'
Ah - he's woken up! Seb Vettel out for an installation lap - he'd made a quiet start to the day, but given how well Friday went perhaps that's no surprise.
52'

Pic comes around for another lap and sets a much better 1:24.692.

Yes, sure enough, around comes Charles Pic with a 1:30.044 - and it looks like Van der Garde will follow. Fair to say we'll see that time drop some way this morning.
55'
Most drivers now tucked back up in the garage - but it looks like the Caterhams will be the first to set some times.
56'
Is that everyone done with their installations? Looks like Button was amongst the last.
57'
In fact, instead of that, why not check in on the ultimate race weekend guide quickly?
58'
Drivers out early as usual, mainly for installation and set-up laps. Don't expect any lap times just yet.
59'
It was Red Bull 1-2 in both the morning and afternoon sessions on Friday. Doesn't bode well for Seb Vettel's title rivals.
