    It does give the teams to do what they want instead of the mandated rule.

    Not really because they're being forced to a specific tire for each session. Some teams would obviously need the soft to get into the next session.

    By 2025, F1 will be a totally spec series and just a 2 day event, but with more parade laps and celebrities in the pits.

    I hope he does well also. But let's be realistic - It's still the Alpha Tauri.

    How many races left? 12 ?
    Ricciardo will have his work cut out to do a lot more than Tsunoda.
    Alpha Tauri isn't a bed of roses ... The car is probably worse than a Williams.

    Rics goal is to match/beat Tsunoda. Points etc are not the target.

    I'm really anxious to see how McLaren do. Was last race a fluke or are they truly top 5 contenders now? I always thought this was kind of a weird track so it'll be interesting. I'd really like to see Lando and Oscar up there fighting. Watching Lando fend of Lewis on better tires was just fantastic. I was waiting for the "he's driving so dangerous man" radio call.

    Red Bull at its Machiavellian finest. Push Yuki, evaluate Daniel, and see what happens.

    What to expect from F1’s new tyre allocation rule in Hungary
    This weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix will see the first use of Formula 1’s new alternative tyre allocation regulations after the originally planned debut at Imola was lost to the race cancellation.

    The ATA rules are designed to improve F1’s sustainability credentials by reducing the number of sets that Pirelli has to bring to each weekend while also potentially creating some strategic variety on race day.

    The format will also be trialled at the Italian GP before its impact is assessed by the FIA and a more extensive use in the future is considered.

    The standard weekend allocation of dry tyres is 13 sets, comprised of two hards, three mediums and eight softs.

    Under the ATA rules, drivers get only 11 sets, with three hards, four mediums and four softs. One set has to be returned after FP1, another after FP2, and two more after FP3. Drivers must retain a set of hards and a set of mediums for race day, but they should end up with two sets of each and thus more options for race strategy.

    Crucially, how teams use the tyres in qualifying is now prescribed. They can only use hards in Q1, mediums in Q2 and softs in Q3.

    A similar format has also been adopted this year for the sprint shootout, and as was the case on Saturday in Austria if the session is declared wet, the slick restrictions are voided.

    Pirelli has added another element of intrigue by going one step softer than last year and taking its C3, C4 and C5 compounds to Hungary, having done the same for the aborted Imola event. In other words, last year’s Budapest medium is this year’s hard.

    Why not build tires that last (oh say) a whole race weekend ?!?
    Then they would increase sustainability by 13×.

    Sustainability is a complete sham in racing. The whole point of racing is to consume things {fuel, brakes, planks, tires, wheels, and other parts.}

    Yes agree'd. Small silly efforts are useless drills.

    They could, at least, make tyres that can last the whole race, and take all the pitstop strategy away.

    GPs are about 200 miles races, and it's a scandal they need 2 or 3 sets of tyres to cover that !

    We had that in 2005 and it was dull. Just like fuel and engine saving is dull, adding tyre saving to it won't make the racing any better.
