Sparky should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Prodrive Ford and JAS Honda were both disqualified after stewards discovered that teams may be using the tyre-heating guns, normally used to remove debri and 'pick-up' from used tyres, to warm the tyres prior to qualifying. The teams were reinstated on appeal.

Do you think that sufficient heat could be generated by these devices to affect a tyres performance? Or is it hyper-sensitivity on the part of their rivals?
