The meeting had a black with the accident of Sergio Perez part against protections after the tunnel, where the braking has today had the prominence of two serious accident that should make us think about the danger of this track, and in my opinion the decision to ban the use of the DRS in that part of the track is todaySadly, more than justified.
The traffic during the Q1 has determined the performance of pilots with options, which have remained intact to marking enough times to move smoothly to the Q2. I left with the question of why Massa has gone back to the end of the session, because it did not theoretically need, but the rest have been expected: mark time and wait in the box.
Pilots of average grid as Perez and Maldonado have bet strong to get placed sixth and fourth respectively, making a pass to the Q2 and showing that this circuit can do well. A real shame the Czech, gruesome accident. Well also Sebastian Buemi, ahead of the Renault and marked differences with team-mate who has not had the luck or the ability to avoid the touch with Kobayashi, and that ultimately it has not had time to react and go out one last time to the track. Jaime morning race is going to be tough and difficult, leaving the position 20 behind the two Lotus of Trulli and Kovalainen.
More of the same in the Q2, you "front" marking times below 1: 15 and soon assuring square for the Q3, while behind the things have been perhaps most striking, with Sergio Perez and Pastor Maldonado inside and their respective team-mates eliminated. Exciting news in this qualifying session, we see that the rookies will take positions in a circuit which is quite "pilot".
The two Renault also eliminated, something that after reading Eric Boullier statements saying that they would be a victory for leave us somewhat ashamed. They have not been able to move on to the Q3 and that does not mean to be able to fight for the victory, unless tomorrow elephants fly. Both Force india was also and Sebastian Buemi which has not been able to improve the number 17. All selling fish, all those elected in the Q3 and us preparing for a meeting of heart attack. We turn to the Q3.
The session begins with all the favorite drivers a priori with two sets of superblandos tires. McLaren, RedBull and Ferrari have been able to have the maximum number of tires in perfect conditions to give the best of themselves. Expectations in 10 minutes of meeting!
The red flag by the accident of Sergio Perez has left us ice cream by the severity of the impact. It has wrecked the car and the barriers in a lateral blow that has shrunk us the heart by the violence and the image of Sergio holding his head moments before impact. Lamentable image the track than a cruel reminds us of the danger of shooting in formula one in the streets of the Principality. In the early days Sergio has been aware and has been able to speak, what we hope that the thing does not get more.
After this serious drubbing, the session was 2: 26 to go, but had to see if the protective barrier could be repaired in time. The pole is important, but rather is the integrity of the pilots. The two and a half minutes remaining have been inconsequential in the face of a pole, taking the finally Sebastian Vettel with an incredible record of 1: 13. 556. We will be attentive to the situation of Sergio Perez to update as soon as you know something.
I'll take the words of Alonso, saying that it is very easy to criticize from the couch but the reality is that it goes very fast and this is a risk sport. Certainly, the reality is that and today we have seen it with two notices of that Cricket is very dangerous. That normally does not pass anything doesn't mean that this is a parlour game. It is sad when you read or hear opinions in other directions.
