Summary
LEWIS HAMILTON remains on course to complete his first Formula One hat-trick after continuing his domination of the Hungarian Grand Prix during yesterday's qualifying session.

Hamilton, who leads Ferrari rival Felipe Massa by four points in the wake of back-to-back victories in Britain and Germany, locked a front wheel on his final - and fastest - lap. "I just made a small mistake going into Turn Five," he said.
