B. They were still saving fuel and engines.
Fuel and engine are fine, but people gotta remember that most of the performance from decent tires and pitting more is performance from cornering at a higher speed and better traction/less wheel spin out of corners. You don't at all have to increase fuel usage to go 2 seconds a lap from much better rubber, fuel usage can be exactly the same while going faster on new rubber or slower on older harder tires. So fuel/engine doesn't make much difference, but as per my comment above, yeah, the tires weren't great in Hungary. basically only worked particularly well for a single guy on the entire grid.
