.Carlossainz55 will start the HungarianGP from 11th having felt like he 'paid the price' for F1's alternate tyre allocation. The rest of the grid also chimed in on this change. Story:
Carlos Sainz reckons he"paid the price" for Formula 1's alternative tyre allocation trial in qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix, having been eliminated in Q2 by just 0.002s.For the round at the Hungaroring, F1 changed the rules governing tyre allocation and restricted each car to just 11 sets of slick Pirelli rubber over the weekend. This also locked the teams into running hard tyres in Q1, medium tyres in Q2, and softs in Q3.
In his reactions to the ATA format trial, Sainz felt that he had been collateral in F1's desire to boost qualifying - and, although he did not agree that the format needed livening up, he felt that it was the championship's prerogative and had more issue with reduced practice running. "Why even bother doing two one-hour practice sessions if you don't have tyres to run? Or why even having Friday if we have no tyres to run on them and to learn from the car, the track and put on a show for the fans?
"That's what I think comes [from trying to] spice up the things. Today, I have paid the price for it. But for F1, if they want to spice it up, I mean I don't think they need to, but if they want to mix things up a bit, then mix them up. But that's why I don't complain about qual and I complain a bit more about the free practice stuff.
