BUDAPEST, Shawwal 18, 1437 H, July 23, 2016, SPA -- Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo will keep his third place on the Hungarian Formula One Grand Prix grid after a rules debate threatened to drop him and other drivers on Saturday, Reuters reported. Regulations state any driver who sets a time slower than 107 percent of the fastest lap in the opening part of qualifying cannot take part in the race except under certain conditions, such as setting a competitive time during other sessions. A driver allowed to race under such conditions will start at the back of the grid and if more than one driver falls short of the required lap time, the order is decided by their placings in Saturday morning's final practice session. In treacherous conditions on the track, Australian Ricciardo, fourth-placed team mate Max Verstappen and nine other drivers were unable to complete a lap within 107 percent of Nico Rosberg's benchmark in the opening part of qualifying. --SPA 03:02 LOCAL TIME 00:02 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
