Grand Prix of Canada F1 2011: difficult career for Pedro de la Rosa, near the points

On Friday we surprised all the news that Sergio Perez would not be able to compete in the race and, above all, the name of his replacement for the weekend of the Grand Prize of Canada. In the end, Pedro de la Rosa has had a difficult, very close to the points race, although he has not seen real reward for Catalan, if he has left a good taste in its performance.
The test driver for McLaren explains that has played with Jenson Button in the first stages of career, and this has damaged the front wing, which has led to a stop in the Sauber pit. This, says Peter, has cost him a position in the points, and is the twelfth position knows little, having shot long time among the top ten.
When the race, Peter filming in ninth position, a good tactic, as the Kamui Kobayashi has been stopped. From there, in the "second round", Pedro has been many twists and turns among the top ten, but the pace of their rivals, the positions lost after curfew with Button and recognizes it, filming little, made that he could not meet its objective.
Despite this, De la Rosa explains that it has gone very well, the race has been difficult, challenging, and also has the advantage that helps you prepare if McLaren they needed him pilotara. In principle it should not happen, but with the problems that Lewis Hamilton lately, perhaps one day receives a penalty, never be knows...

Grand Prix of Canada F1 2011: Jaime Alguersuari gets its first points of the year

Finally it has been achieved. If during this year the bad luck had been a pervasive factor in in all races, today we must acknowledge that, apart from its good make, a good dose of luck has helped Jaime Alguersuari to get their first points of the year, after a daring race car metered water, coming out of the pit lane.
The race was not starting with the best news, then exit from the pit lane was not the best way to start the Grand Prix. But leave behind the safety car perhaps somewhat downplaying the importance of this fact. In principle, should be able to advance to the Hispania, Virgin and Lotus with relative ease. In the end, many laps after the safety car without the start of the race have not helped too.
Despite this, Jaime Alguersuari and Toro Rosso have been especially working in the tactics of the career management, and soon were winning positions thanks to a few stops in well planned boxes. Unfortunately, then the race has been stopped, and we had to wait hours before resumption is to be able to follow the outcome of the same.
In the end, a little more of the same, good strategy and forward by Jaime, struggling with Nico Rosberg to try to achieve their best result since that is in formula one, an octave position more than deserved, and about four points which we are sure that they will help a little to dispel those rumors that they fly over his head. I said it once, Jaime has quality, and slowly you will get results.

The Grand Prize of Bahrain points to December

Still there is hope of holding the Grand Prize of Bahrain. A few weeks ago my colleague Igor Zamorano commented that the suspension was planning on the horizon, but was left clear that the final decision would be, at the latest, on 1 May. A date imposed by the FIA, in which we will know what happens with the appointment of Bahrain, though at the moment the idea of placing it in December seems far-fetched.
The date that is handled at the moment suggests that it would be the last race of the season. The play is to advance the Grand Prix of Brazil and delay the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Thus, taking advantage of that Abu Dhabi and Bahrain are quite close, everything would be easier. Logistics costs would be reduced significantly due to the geographical proximity of both circuits.
From Italiaracing indicate that Bernie Ecclestone welcomed the relocation of the Bahrain race, and they even claim that it is considering the idea. Everything that is not to stop the machine to generate money which is the formula one always is to the liking of the small Warhol. The problem can come from the teams; a lengthening of the schedule would impact on increased costs for them. Sure that to the good of Ecclestone comes up with some ingenious idea to satisfy them.

Kobayashi: "I want to be from the beginning to the end points"

Looking back on his first year with Sauber, admitted its first year wasn't easy. "The start was difficult - almost more than could endure for six to eight races." However, the Japanese driver renoce that from the middle of the season, the situation had improved.

But for this year, Kobayashi perspectives have changed, beside it no longer has an experienced pilot, but it will be the 2010 GP2 runner-up Sergio Perez, a rookie.

In addition, since the Swiss team, Peter Sauber announced does not have a hierarchical order. "There is no number one and number two." Despite the fact that they have more experience, but most importantly, work closely together to help build the team. Our ability is not so great, do "therefore remains important", said Kobayashi.?
