Red Bull drivers Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel didn't make much noise on Friday at the Hungaroring.

In fact, the teammates were virtual non-factors in the two opening practices at the Budapest, Hungary circuit.

Oh how things can change in a day.

After struggling to keep up with the other top teams in Friday's first and second rounds of practice, the Red Bull boys turned it up a notch in Saturday's P3 session as Webber (1:21:550) led the way, with Vettel (1:21:671) stacking up a close third.

Sandwiched in between the Red Bulls was the man who paced both Friday practices, Lewis Hamilton (1:21:643), in the McLaren.

Bruno Senna and championship leader Fernando Alonso completed the top five, with the rest of the top 10 being Kimi Raikkonen, Romain Grosjean, Felipe Massa, Paul Di Resta and Jenson Button.

The one-hour session was run under entirely dry conditions after rain hampered part of Friday's second practice.

Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix is the 11th of 20 events on the 2012 Formula One calendar, and the last event before the annual month-long August break.

Coming into the weekend, Alonso leads the drivers' standings by 34 points over Webber and 44 over Vettel. Raikkonen (-56) and Hamilton (-62) complete the top five.

Alonso leads the series in victories with three, while Webber, with two victories, is the season's only other winner of multiple races.
