As part of F1’s move to become more sustainable, along꧙side Pirelli, they’re looking to reduce the amount of tyres available to ꦆeach driver at a given weekend.

As a result, a new qualifying format 𒅌will take place this we🌠ekend at the Hungaroring.

The 'Alternative Tyre Allocation' will only be trialled at two race weekends in F1 2023.

How will it work?

Quite simply, drivers are mandated to use a certain tyre in the thr🎀ee qualifying segments.

Q1: Only the hard tyre can be used.

Q2: Only the medium tyre can be used.

Q3: Only the soft tyre can be used.

This will only apply if 🍃the session iꦗs dry, otherwise teams will have free choice.

The form🍸at is similar to the one used during sprint weekends.

In the sprint shootout on Saturday morning, drivers can only use hards in Q1, mediums i🥀n Q2 and softs in Q3.

Why Hungary?

Orꩵiginally, the format was going to debut at Imola, however, due to unforeseen flooding in the Emilia Romagna region, the race was cancelled.

The fo💎rmat is expected to be tested 👍again at Monza in September.

Why the new format?

It’s a move to🍷 reduce the number of tyre sets each weekend.

In Hungary, drivers will only have 11 dry tyre sets available, rather than the u🅰sual 13.

This quickly adds up as it's 4𒉰0 sets of tyres saved across the whole grid or 160 individual tyres meaning that over 3600 tyres in total that would be saved throughout an e☂ntire season if the format was implemented at each event.
