Hungarian Grand Prix Mystery

Question

How did Kimi managed to gain track position from Alonso? Kimi loses grip

and time about 2-3secs, maybe, like in last Monaco GP when he tried to attack Alonso on turn. But amazingly, after Kimi went to his pitstop, he was now in front of the Spaniard. Where did Kimi come from?. Did he make a shortcut?. Now, that's what Renault making busy of and looking to data if the pitstop of Kimi had broken some rules.

Answer 1

actually i think it has happend due to i think ders this part of circuit wer ders no camera...or something like tht.........cause once wen kimi was closing in on glock and suddenly in couple of seconds he wasnt no where glock ....and even commentators were wondering tht...has glock had an spin and kimi went ahead or wht.....but actually i think something happened to kimi and due to which kimi was i think suddenly somethng 4sec behind glock....and tht was on the first corner .....i think there isnt an proper camera coverage....or maybe they dont show the final corner of the circuit tht often and alonso and kimi both lost time at tht corner itself and it wasnt broadcasted on time...esp the alonso one....hence the confusion.......this is my thinkin...........but i dont remember kimis pitstop.......and even commentators were wondering how alonso lost so much time or kimi gained so much time...as during a pitstop usually a driver loses couple of positions but kimi rather gained one...!!!!!.....or could be kimi started race on heavy fuel load and ferrari put only some amt of fuel during tht pitstop and hence they only changed tires with bit of fuel.....and hence they had an very short stop........

Answer 2

I think he was just really frustrated being stuck behind Alonso, so he made up a h**l of a lot of time.

He set 3 fastest laps in succession when unstuck.

Answer 3

Our broadcast missed it as well but they did mention that alonso lost three seconds shortly after his last pit stop.

Answer 4

Alonso reckons that Ferrari had an illegal way to fill the car up faster, I reckon Ferrari made a superior pit stop as only a short fuel up was needed at that stage of the GP, maybe Renault were worried about having one of the pit fires that other teams were suffering from and Ferrari didn't worry so much.

Answer 5

It's not really a mystery, seeing as Renault went public with all of this on Monday morning.
