Ferrari got itself into an awkward interference pattern with the strategies of its two cars in the Hungarian Grand Prix. Partly this came about through the experimental tyre allocation for this race, introduced as part of the joint sustainability drive of the FIA and Pirelli, whereby each car had only 11 tyre sets for the weekend rather than the usual 13 and each of the three qualifying sessions had its own stipulated compound – hards in Q1, mediums in Q2, softs in Q3.
