Grand Prix of Europe F1 2011: free first with Webber in the lead, third Alonso


Returns the action to track and back with much more movement in a first session of free than it expected. Nice but with much time humidity, some cloud than another, but in general the track conditions seem to be kind. There have been all exits of track, intensity of work in boxes, work on the track, and although they have finally met probably programmes predefined in each team and the positions of classification not say much, hence we have to Mark Webber first, followed Petrov and Alonso.
Nico Hulkenberg caused a yellow flag shortly before the first half hour, the first part more free practice stop, when to stop for the curve 12 lost stability and hit against the wall. Nothing serious, given little damage and in one couple of minutes all cleared, and another thing. Before continuing I can not comment on two things: Sergio Perez has returned, and Sebastian Vettel has been the 16th with the new Pirelli PZero White. Interestingly.

Sergio Perez has returned to the wheel of his Sauber and has done so at 100% it seems (touch wood), 20 laps and placing 14 ahead of Pastor Maldonado and Sebastian Vettel. For its part Jaime Alguersuari has been ahead of Daniel Ricciardo to more than two-tenths, also within the top 10. This is good, very good news, at least for the moment and thanks to the extra motivation that I guess it will be run in Spain. So I say now, I hope to eat potatoes with the words I had towards Alguersuari on its continuity or not…
The two Ferrari worked well during the meeting, although not have been able to approach to the times of Mark Webber, with a 1'40. 403 is the driver faster with nearly 9 tenths on Vitaly Petrov. Striking Russian although Nick Heidfeld was fifth. Behind the two McLarens have been fourth (Lewis Hamilton) and seventh (Jenson Button) and complete the top 10 three pilots of other many teams: the eighth Adrian Sutil, Nico Rosberg ninth and as said, Jaime Alguersuari tenth. We will return with more chicha surely after second free practice that will compete at 14: 00.
