Disagree slightly, an extra stop only costs 4 seconds more than it used to. A fresh set of tyres can gain you 2-3 seconds a lap. So in 1-2 laps you can negate the difference.

True, but a difference of 2-3 seconds per lap is probably a little too optimistic and would be a comparison between very new and very old tires. Plus, its 4 "more" seconds you have to make up. So your new tires need to give you the usually pitstop time PLUS 4 or so more seconds.

I think Sky said the pit lane loss is now 21 seconds. So if we say the new tyres give you 2 seconds a lap, you can still catch the guy ahead in around 10 laps. Plus, the guys that stay out risking their tyres falling off the cliff, which could cost them 4-5 seconds a lap, especially around Hungary.

Would you like a Sky streaming link,I only use Sky streams during races where BBC aren't live,I also use F1 official site live timing since the streams can be 30secs behind real time.

I can't get sky go in France, bloody frustrating!! But I've found it on the computer somewhere.
Mercs one/ two . Grosjean looking good. Perez in q3 despite having to have a car rebuild after 3rd practise. Webber in q3 despite having no KERS.

[cheekybru]

If Lewis was in a redbull hed of beaten seb by .4-.5 seconds today! Stunning Lap!

[Nin-Chin]

I was on my stream,watched the sectors,purple s1,then vettel went 2nd,I just had a massive choking after that

[Hammer278]

Mercedes were not even expecting that! What a LAP....sweet seeing Vettel's pouty face at the weighing bridge.

[Nin-Chin]

Yeah that was just hilarious,I was choking like hell laughing

This is his 6th consecutive front row start

[Hammer278]

Webber's interview was hilarious!! He has no contract to worry about anymore, so why not run out his frustrations how he likes to.

[elfinitty]

I couldn't get to see the quali,I really wonder Webber's interview and also I'm disappointed that I didn't get to see Vettel's pouty face

I'm happy to see Lewis on pole but we know Mercedes' race performance...I expect some more from Lotus though

Grosjean has a high chance of being DSQ:



Romain Grosjean could be facing exclusion from qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix after his car was found to be in breach of technical regulations.

The FIA tested the deflection of the front floor on the top three cars after qualifying, and while Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes and Sebastian Vettel's Red Bull conformed with the regulations, Grosjean's Lotus was found to deflect more than the permitted 5mm and as a result is in breach of regulations.

The report from FIA technical delegate Jo Bauer reads:

"After the qualifying practice session an asymmetric RHS front floor deflection test was carried out on car numbers 01, 08 and 10 according to Article 3.17.5.

"Car number 01 and 10 were found in conformity with Article 3.17.5 of the 2013 FIA Formula One Technical Regulations.

"However car number 08 did not comply with Article 3.17.5 of the 2013 FIA Formula One Technical Regulations as the front floor deflected more than 5mm vertically when the load was applied vertically to it at the point which lies 100mm of car centre line on the RHS.

"I am referring this matter to the stewards for their consideration."
