Summary Looking to end first half of Formula One season with something he has never accomplished before.
BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) - Sebastian Vettel is looking to end the first half of the Formula One season with something the three-time defending world champion and current points leader has never accomplished before a victory at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Vettel, who has been driving for Red Bull since 2009, has won two of the last three races and leads Ferrari s Fernando Alonso by 34 points, 157 to 123. Kimi Raikkonen of Lotus is third with 116.
However, like the rest of the drivers, Vettel is hoping the tires cope with what are expected to be hot conditions.
Last week, the teams held in-season testing sessions in Silverstone to assess new tires provided by Pirelli and dispel safety concerns after several blowouts on the same circuit at the British Grand Prix in June.
