"The car looked different when it left the pits to when it came back," Michael Schumacher is quoted by Bild newspaper. Mercedes was waiting on an order of incombustible space-craft material called Pyrosic, made exclusively by Pyromeral Systems in France. But there were problems with delivery, with Ross Brawn confirming: "We are now trying a different material."

Williams Mechanic Knocked Out By Rosberg Tire: A Williams mechanic was knocked unconscious in a pitlane accident on Sunday. Nigel Hope found himself in the path of the loose wheel that came off former team driver Nico Rosberg's Mercedes car during the Hungarian Grand Prix. Hope, a team truck driver, was reportedly knocked unconscious in the incident and was taken to the medical center. It is believed he suffered a broken rib, but he bravely returned to pitstop duty after returning from the medical center. "After I heard that my tire hit 'big Nige', I was more concerned about my tire than him!" joked Rosberg.
