Gives equal to be KERS, which not, allowing the DRS that turns loose the RedBull no… are where they want and when they want, and this has been demonstrated Sebastian Vettel, first classified in the first session of the Monaco Grand Prix-free. Also the German has completed more laps than usual, while by contrast Mark Webber has only been with 3 turns to Monaco, perhaps because of mechanical problems. Fernando Alonso has been second to 113 thousandths of the RedBull.
When Webber came out of the box to give the typical stages of installation we saw him too slow, so that hardly reached the position in the pitlane, going almost to the idling. As always, If there are problems in RedBull there is Mark Webber to absorb them. We have seen the very spirited Ferrari and I would say that competitive in view of the marked time. Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton have also been long track rolling with consistent and fast times.
Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso were the only ones to fall 1: 17 at this meeting, time that we will see lower in each training session to be depositing more rubber on the track. The more spin the cars, better times will see between now and Saturday. Behind these two, which in the last minutes of the meeting had a give-and-take with the return which would be better at this meeting, we are Felipe Massa and Nico Rosberg (in the second row of Friday)Hamilton and Button in the third, Maldonado and subtle in the fourth and Petrov and Schumacher in the fifth.
Itbeen not been absent too the Renault in this first session of free, which always is important to take the point on the runway, adjust the development of the single-seat and return to find the limits, which in Monaco is also different from the rest and it shows at the beginning of the meeting on Thursday. Provided that we came here we see how pilots go out, give a spin to see how everything is and get into the box, passing a ratillo until they go back to the track.
That Yes, this time seems that Ferrari found the faster setup than on other occasions, but the best will come to 2 p.m., and Saturday for granted. Both Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso have given many laps (24 each) and have been adjusting more and more. Two Mercedes GP pointed high as it has done Nico Rosberg, while Michael Schumacher has come out of track in his final attempt, losing control of the braking in Santa Devota and impacting against the protections. The does not cause, in my has given me the impression of rear wheels without pressure, tapping or something. They already confirmed because he has been regular and also seems a steering failure simply.
vitantonio liuzzi has not escaped kiss the guardarrailes, this time to the end of the tunnel in the middle of lowered and braking for the chicane, where he lost (probably because it was not too well) the rear and is injured directly, breaking the nose and leaving the meeting halfway. Both HRT in the tail of the provisional classification with many rounds in the bag for Karthikeyan.
The typical story of Monaco is that something to happen with the streets. Or the lid of a culvert, is lifted or someone is left an open tap and gets wet runway. Indeed, this is the red flag of the day, a water leak has left a reguerito on the track, full line of goal, causing that the technicians of the place have had to go where it was the aforementioned source and… well screw the nut. I think that the culprit was tito Bernie, who wants to impose the wet track "by surprise", but they have been caught.
Anecdotes aside, an interesting meeting, with many laps in general, and the two Ferrari fastest four, Vettel at the helm as always, Webber with mechanical problems (we believe confirmed), Mercedes GP, McLaren strong as expected. Others see it in the following table, but in general few surprises in the installation session except again seventh Maldonado. We will see at 14: 00 what's cooking, surely we have more and more interesting to have.
