HUNGARORING -- Friday practice was somewhat inconclusive when it came to analysing tyre strategies for Sunday's race. Two red flags temporarily halted the second practice session, interrupting the teams' runs on the super-soft and soft compound tyres as they tried to gauge degradation levels. The Hungaroring's tight layout means the tyres are prone to overheating and drivers only have one straight where they can attempt to cool them down. Combined with the high track temperatures expected on Sunday (as much as 10 degrees higher than those on Friday), controlling degradation in the heat of the battle could be tough.
