The Mercedes and Red Bull Formula 1 teams were surprised by the Championship-dominating outfit's advantage over the rest of the field in Practice for the Hungarian Grand Prix on Friday. Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg led the way for Mercedes and Sebastian Vettel led the way for Red Bull.
The drivers from both teams suggested the gap between the two title contenders and the chasing pack was bigger than they were expecting this weekend.
Rosberg told reporters after the session: "The gap is surprising. We thought the engine doesn't count for much at this track. We thought the others would be a bit closer - especially the Red Bull."
Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo added: "Mercedes showed today they were quick again. Unfortunately quicker than we hoped. I don't think we found too many positives for today. We tried to find the pace but it wasn't there."
Mercedes are far ahead and other teams are trying their best to catch them.
