Sainz says he 'paid the price' for F1's alternative tyre allocation trial in Hungary after failing to reach Q3.
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.
"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? However, he accepted that the knock-on effect of the tyre allocations had nonetheless produced an interesting qualifying session.also concurred that the reduced running in Friday practice was not a particularly desirable by-product of the ATA trial, and also voiced his disagreement that the session format did not need to be changed.
"I think it's more important, like Lewis said on Friday that we just run, instead of just sit in the box. People are paying so much money to sit on the grandstand and you're not doing a lot of laps, so that's not ideal."was stronger in his opposition to the reduced quantity of tyre sets, labelling it a"disaster" and felt that the spectators had been short-changed by less on-track running during practice.
