Four runs brought this 2011 season and four pole positions leads Sebastian Vettel. The German is used in each qualifying session while nobody SBI cough him. The reigning world champion has been far superior to its rivals at Istanbul Park. Vettel is cementing its title defense in the fight against the Cronus from Saturday, which is showing intractable.
Mark Webber has finished second to four tenths of his team-mate, with Nico Rosberg racing its attempt until the end of the Q3 and which served to be third. The Mercedes was pleasant to the Q3 surprise, Lewis Hamilton, who finished fourth, and Fernando Alonso, who ended fifth. The Spanish is paid to that position on the grid.
This has been the trust they had in Red Bull, to both Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber have reserved the second game of the Q3 soft tire for the race tomorrow. Ferrari have been saved that second game with only a lap in the final attempt, the so-called outlap Felipe Massa for its part did not take part in the Q3. Ferrari's strategy or problems with your car? It should not be forgotten that they had to change the engine to its 150 ? Italy Ferrari after the last session of free practice.
In the Q1 Kamui Kobayashi was linked to the fixed six that do not normally reach the Q2, the two Hispania F1 Racing Team of Narain Karthikeyan and Vitantoni Liuzzi, the couple of Virgin Racing formed by Jerome D'Ambrosio and Timo Glock and both Team Lotusboth Jarno Trulli as Heikki Kovalainen. In the case of the Japanese a problem prevented him from marking time and had to leave the session ahead of schedule.
The Q2 was, as always, more exciting than the previous round. Occasionally there is some unexpected misfortune, and this time the shock almost takes Nick Heidfeld. The German Renault almost does not happen until the Q1, but at the last minute cut managed to save the furniture in extremis; It was fought by just 24 thousandths.They were by the way, Rubens Barrichello, Adrian Sutil, Paul di Resta, Pastor Maldonado, Sergio Perez, Sebastien Buemi and Jaime Alguersuari.
Tomorrow we will witness a race with one interesting range of strategies. The pilots who have chosen to reserve games of tyres with regard to the race, and of those who have chosen to secure a good place on the grid to cope with a more comfortable position booting and with fewer scares.
