Hungarian GP - Practice 2 - Lotus...
TAGS CLOUD
--> 
AP: It was a difficult day for us. Both drivers reported that the car felt better in FP3 after we had made changes on Friday night following on from what we learnt on the first two practice runs. Although we had made improvements, we simply did not have the pace yesterday to challenge for the top ten, which is not good enough.
What are the tyre considerations here at the Hungaroring?
AP: The soft tyre was between 1-1.5 seconds slower, so tyre strategy in qualifying was not difficult today. For the race, I expect it will be reasonably straightforward in terms of tyre choice, with probably a three pit stop race. Vitaly's final run in Q2 was compromised; he was on his out lap and was slowed down by another car. This prevented him from warming his tyres, which is critical for a qualifying lap on the super soft tyres.
What were the issues with Nick's car in FP3?
AP: We did have an issue with fuel delivery on Nick's car yesterday morning, so we changed the relevant parts in the fuel system and did not suffer a repeat of the issues in qualifying.
