Lewis Hamilton put in some scorching laps late on in Saturday's final session to continue McLaren's dominance in Hungarian Grand Prix practice.

Hamilton's fastest lap of of one minute 21.009 was 0.399 seconds quicker than BMW Sauber's Nick Heidfeld in second.

Williams' Nico Rosberg set the third fastest time ahead of Hamilton's McLaren team-mate Heikki Kovalainen.

Brawn's Jenson Button was 17th as his Red Bull title rivals Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel were ninth and 10th.

The McLaren's led the way in Friday's two practice sessions and Hamilton made it a clean sweep with his flying lap in the strong Budapest breeze.

Cloudy and changeable conditions at the Hungaroring on Saturday meant track temperatures dropped significantly, which presented the teams with a new set of challenges.
