GP of China F1 2011: Jaime Alguersuari is forced to leave due to a wrong tight wheel


It came from the seventh place, his best result in qualifying training of formula 1. It had everything in order, but in the end the result was not the desired. Toro Rosso has not worked, the car wasn't fast, and to end Jaime Alguersuari has been forced to leave by a wrong tight wheel in its first (and last) stop in boxes.
After the output has been already very clear that today was the day to get a good result, while a seventh position did presage points, at least. Immediately, Alguersuari fell to ninth position, and in few laps it was already tenth, and still wasting time and positions, until that Sebastien Buemi has been reached.
At that time, the two pilots of Toro Rosso, aware of what they are playing with each other, have had a time of struggle, that Alguersuari has emerged victorious. Then stop in boxes Nico Rosberg, and Toro Rosso have been able to play their cards and have stopped in boxes, in what was a good strategic move.
But the good played strategic are of no avail if the wheels are not well made. The wheel of Jaime Alguersuari has dropped in the first curve, and the Catalan has had to leave, ending a career that a priori was likely to be very important for him. Without a doubt, Toro Rosso can not be happy, who have now lost a golden opportunity.
The car does not work as it should, and this is something that must be remedied in the three weeks that separate US from the Grand Prize of Turkey. Always say that the first race in Europe shows what will be the reality of the season. I have no doubt that this year will also be as well.
