Grand Prix of Great Britain F1 2011: Jaime Alguersuari fails to pass to the Q2 but beat Sebastien Buemi

Although Jaime Alguersuari has not managed to go to the Q2, finished ahead of Sebastien Buemi. The Catalan pilot come from eighteenth position, and unfortunately the rain has prevented getting (or try) in the Q2. You have done, it could perhaps have won some positions that not go you bad face the morning race.
Catalan pilot has struggled with desire, and indeed when it has started to rain, has been on track if it stopped raining and the track was not sufficiently wet, although in the end the sky has been downloaded and it has been forced to renounce their options. Therefore, another career dating from the eighteenth position, but it leave ahead of his teammate will offset relatively.
In fact, although the goal of Jaime has to be a good result, and not focus too much on what makes your partner, it is clear that his first opponent is Sebastien Buemi, is with whom you are going to compare, it would be normal that was relatively satisfied. In the face of tomorrow, there are real options do well, having saved tyres, as it did in Valencia.

Today was a good chance of being among the top diez-doce, because to not be able to used the DRS when it rains, we would have better pace. Tomorrow the race will probably be dry and soft tyres have a large difference to the hard. We have options to do well in career.

Dani Sordo is imposed on Jaime Alguersuari in the Stadium Race

 Late night yesterday, the Vicente Calderon stadium was the scene of the Stadium Race. The Race of Champions in the Spanish style had good reception by the public. It is difficult to fill a stadium of the Atletico de Madrid (55,000 seats), but still 15-20 thousand people gathered, put the note color to the event.
If we move quickly at least important, performances by Chris Pfeiffer, Ander Vilarino and his vehicle in the Nineteens Series, the drifters, or children of the Suzuki Swift Cup put his party and made that intervals would be more bearable. But what really all wanted to see was large pilot mediate with the Silver Car S2. Small prototypes of 185 HP and 450 kilograms of weight.
After the training sessions held on the morning of Thursday, the results showed the domain from the formula one drivers. Jaime Alguersuari scored the best time and along with Andy Soucek, Vitantonio Liuzzi and Sutil Adrain passed directly to the quarter-finals. The rest would have to fight for a place.
In these pairings of the KO, Marc Gene and Stephane Peterhansel fell eliminated after damaging his vehicle while Jacques Villeneuve under Carmen Jorda and Dani Sordo did the same with Joan Vinyes, this last from a preview which won his fellow officer Suzuki, Gorka Antxustegui team.
A. from there, again direct pairing. Two runs and amount of time. Deaf eliminated Soucek, Liuzzi to Pons, Alguersuari to Rome and finally Sutil to Villeneuve. The semifinals were served. Three formula one drivers and only a pilot from the sections.

Dani Sordo is full of Vitantonio Liuzzi in the semi-final winning both races while that Jaime Alguersuari also doblegaba twice the Force India pilot. Despite the problems with the CM throughout the night, Barcelona reached the final as favorite.
Two of the best national riders were face to face. Formula front world Rallye. In the end, not joined times but the battle was the best of three races. Alguersuari earned the first while Sordo was raised with victory in the second. In the third and final, and when passed by goal for the first time very evenly matched, the Toro Rosso driver had stopped with problems in your car, making Dani Sordo in second winner of the Stadium Race. Fireworks ended the feast of perfect for a wonderful evening.

Grand Prix of Europe F1 2011: Jaime Alguersuari returns to be eliminated in the Q1

Resigned Jaime Alguersuari, who returns to be eliminated in the Q1, after the umpteenth meeting of classification problems this season. The Catalan pilot already yesterday had engine problems and could not participate in the second official training session. Today, a tactic in my opinion wrong by Toro Rosso him sentenced to 18th position.
If I say that the tactic is wrong is because Toro Rosso have decided to leave too late and aiming to spend only a set of tyres. In normal situation, that would probably be a wise decision, but unlucky it went wrong. But when the number 19 car not shot at the second session of free practice, spending of tyres has been also much lower.
In a situation like this, "saving" a session of training, they should have more available tires, and no risk to happen what happened; Eighteenth position for Jaime Alguersuari, which could have been better if not for this tactic. Obviously played an important role the traffic met Jaime during which had to be his fastest lap.

We missed one hour and entrenamentos media yesterday, and unfortunately, have now left four cars that spoiled my round. Tomorrow is another day.

Jaime Alguersuari tired of rumors about his future

There are many rumors have appeared throughout the season putting in question the future of Sebastien Buemi and Jaime Alguersuari. Within the program of young pilots of Red Bull is the best thing that can happen to a young pilot, but instead, chosen must be aware that without results, finishing off, it is more than feasible.
And when you're in Toro Rosso getting good performances it is complicated. Daniel Ricciardo increasingly large shadow duo Buemi Alguersuari is constantly being challenged with more than one them has been placed outside the team before the end of the season. Therefore today Jaime Alguersuari has said enough stating that he is tired of rumors about his future and which today has nothing to prove. Barcelona's pilot indicates those interested to know something more about their future ask Helmut Marko. Perhaps there is the problem.

I thought it was one rumor of the thousands of rumors that converge in the F1 throughout the year. But at the end of the press conference, for the first time I noticed der I'm tired of so many silly and boring them. Apparently, any rumor comes from where come, signed by anyone, or perhaps, not signed, have stronger than statements Franz Tost or Helmut Marko

But beyond the own of the paddock rumours, would have to say that some of these statements have been both Tost and Marko. The Toro Rosso Team Principal and director of the Red Bull Junior Team have fueled the rumors with their words. And to them we have to do something case. It was Helmut Marko himself who said last April that Buemi and Alguersuari are fighting for a seat...

Jaime Alguersuari passing through Hong Kong to make a few donuts

Between Valencia and Canada What better to go through Hong Kong to take a break. That's what they thought of Red Bull, that they were Jaime Alguersuari to give an exhibition so picturesque place. Picturesque and attractive economically for many, many things, to bring a formula one and burn tyres and (almost) engine is pocket change compared to the counterpart.
More than 43,000 spectators attended the show, live view a Formula 1 by your city doing short sprints, burning wheel in full acceleration, and burning all quemable while making the famous "donuts". Not only that, attendees were able to enjoy more things like display of Superbike World Championship, a competition of drifting and with the presence of famous sportsmen and women of Hong Kong, among other Jacky Chan. Yes, but not the actor, if not an aspiring pilot to do very well in karting.
I have no doubt that it's not spectacular, but honestly I am not attracted me these events. Maybe if I really like the gymkhana or the drifting, I would appreciate. In addition at the end of the video carried it him on the one hand and the car by another...

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.

Grand Prix of Canada F1 2011: Jaime Alguersuari fails to pass to the Q2, come from the eighteenth position

Jaime Alguersuari fails to pass to the Q2, and will be released tomorrow from the eighteenth position, after a rather disappointing qualifying session. The pilot of Barcelona has been displaced by his compatriot, Pedro de la Rosa, with the Sauber. A real shame, because that Jaime is eager to do well, but not accompanied by the car.
In addition, the rumor mill on his future next to the magnificent State of form of his partner at Toro Rosso, Sebastien Buemi, do not help. Alguersuari is offset, and mixing great moments in race with errors that cannot be allowed in their current situation. Be overcome by Buemi isn't the underlying problem; or in any case, it would not be if career he could finish ahead.
The problem with that is the second pilot of the second team of Red Bull is to lose too much time with respect to the Swiss, in training pilot, resulting in too many positions on the grid. This results in a long time to recover in career, and although he manages to do so, as it was the case in Monaco, the nerves can cause results as happened it in that race, finishing against the guardrails.
Jaime recognizes that, although the problem that has prevented him from moving to the Q2 has been above all a plane in its tire, nor had much better pace. This honesty which can be a double-edged weapon lets us always see their real level, and for tomorrow has the objective of reaching the points, if the race is wet. Today we have seen an angry Jaime; We hope to see a very different face tomorrow.

GP of Monaco F1 2011: Jaime Alguersuari is forced to leave after a good career

Jaime Alguersuari has been forced to leave after a good career, due to an accident in the absence of few laps from the end, when he was already the tenth position. In Monaco, Jaime, who was dating from the 20th position, has decided to be aggressive, with a good strategy and making use of all his talent.
During the entire race, Alguersuari has been clever and has struggled to reach the final with options to get a good result. Although during much of the race he has shot in fifteenth and sixteenth position, the Catalan pilot knew that used tactic would allow him to reach the end close to the group which was fighting for points.
Arriving at lap 71, had already come to that group which was fighting for points, and had left behind to Sebastien Buemi, which assumed several positions ahead of him. But bad luck has been primed with Jaime. Paul di Resta has touched the wall, and that has created a moment of confusion in the group, Hamilton has made an aggressive maneuver and Jaime has followed him.
Unfortunately, Alguersuari has caught incorrectly one of the modified area of the pool, verges and his car has been lifted. Released into the air, it has gone to impact with the guardrails on the other side, leaving no space to Vitaly Petrov and hitting the rear wing of Lewis Hamilton, who has been saved by the hairs.
A real shame, because If the failure of yesterday could argue that it was his, the career of today was also his work, and although the final result does not prove (Moreover, Sebastien Buemi has taken a point), Alguersuari deserved today finish among the top ten. Let us hope that his action not her overlooked in Red Bull.
Within two weeks we're going to Canada, a circuit where last year the Toro Rosso was not bad and where the tires played a key, and being the Bridgestone. A good tactic could lead to a surprising result. Let us hope that Jaime is recovered from the moral blow of this weekend and get a good result soon. What it needs and deserves.

Jaime Alguersuari asserts that current tires do they not piloten 100 %

Revealing statements that Jaime alguersuari made Monday night in brand engine with a good question of Andy Soucek. Barcelona's pilot acknowledged that Pirelli tyres are so delicate that the pilots can only be 70 or 80% of his leadership. As soon as you're being aggressive, the degradation is such that you can to terminate benefits of that game.
For this reason, the Toro Rosso driver said to regulate the single-seat, seeking to be pedals already that if by contrast the car goes well back, degradation play against the pilot. Here is where Jaime Alguersuari recognizes that he's wrong this season and their tactic work us. In the two recent Grands Prix, Alguersuari has made one stop more than planned in his tactics.
It is clear that this very well see that in the current formula one tires of play a fundamental role in the face of the spectacle, but see how pilots are far from giving the best of themselves is serious enough to think that not everything is gold that glitters. The best pilots, with the best cars and better tyres. In those three things, one being ignored and another appears to not be 100% certain. Already is football not what it was I'd say Audi?.

Spain F1 2011 GP: Hamilton, Button, Webber and Alguersuari under investigation

Newly completed the Grand Prize of Spain entertaining us has come the information that Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button, Mark Webber and Jaime Alguersuari are under investigation. The reason is that not brought the foot with yellow track flags, as indicated by the rules in this regard.
The FIA has not indicated in that point of the race ignored those flags, but it is assumed that it was when Heikki Kovalainen had his accident, 17 laps from the end. However with the passage of 20 seconds that could receive, the positions of Hamilton, Button and Webber would remain unchanged, retaining the second, third and fourth place, respectively.
Update: the investigation had been concluded with a reprimand involved pilots, so the final classification of the Grand Prize of Spain does not change.
Newly completed the test Antonio Lobato stated that the FIA would investigate several pilots by not lowering the pace with yellow flags on track. Not I lent him much attention to the comment because I did not noticed in the names said the presenter of laSexta. Then I could confirm that the pilots quarantined were Hamilton, Button, Webber and Alguersuari.
We look forward to see how such research is developed. The FIA surprises us with its famous yardstick. Who knows?

Grand Prix of Spain F1 2011: Jaime Alguersuari will emerge from the thirteenth position

Jaime Alguersuari will come out tomorrow from the thirteenth position, after a Q2 of the truly contested qualifying session. The Catalan pilot has not been getting great results in the weekend-free training, and in the end has been superseded by his teammate.
The fact that Sebastien Buemi has finished ahead of Alguersuari is not very positive, since that is the relative dominance of the driver on the driver of Barcelona, at least in regards results. While James has been thirteenth, Sebastien was eleventh.
Unfortunately, Jaime it has been impossible to reach the Q3, although in some ways this is not a surprise, seeing the performance of the Toro Rosso in the last races. Despite this, it must be admitted that the workouts seemed to be the strength of the single-seat this year.
Alguersuari will be eager to achieve a good result in his home race. Hopefully the luck will smile and the car show competitive for what they saw in Turkey. Jaime deserved to score, he has done merits more than sufficient to achieve this, and it will eventually do so.

Grand Prix of Turkey F1 2011: Jaime Alguersuari sufe by tyres and sixteenth

Jaime Alguersuari has been victim today tyres and his enormous degradation, it has not been passed the sixteenth position. The Catalan pilot has had a difficult race, with tires that have been demoted in the last stint. That has meant that Alguersuari had been forced to make a last stop in boxes two laps from the end.
Jaime he had kept, as did Alonso, a game of soft, in official training tire, in order to use it in career, and be able to gain. In fact, during the time that he has used these tyres, he has shot well and fast, but in the end things have not gone as the pilot of Toro Rosso hoped.
The worst thing about this situation, for him, it is that Sebastien Buemi has made a career of book, with a virtually copied strategy to the Alguersuari, and leaving only a position ahead. The Swiss was seventh up to few laps from the flag to pictures. In the end, ninth position for Buemi, who tells Jaime that makes him very happy.

Interestingly, the result of Sebastien Buemi, 9th leaving sixteenth, beside me, great joy me and shows me that the strategy of the team has been good for me both Seb, and that we are increasingly closer understanding the behavior of the Pirelli tyres. To me I missed only five laps to have achieved the objective of the team.

Leaving part everything about the world of formula one, its results, and their expectations for the future, Jaime Alguersuari has wanted to take a short moment of remembrance and tribute to the golfer Severiano Ballesteros. "seve" left us Saturday morning, and Jaime has wanted to keep in mind, sending a hug to his family.

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.

What will happened exactly to Jaime Alguersuari?

The pace of Jaime Alguersuari in the race on Sunday was not good, and it seemed to us that the thing was very badly in the face of the aspirations of the Spanish in his particular duel with Sebastien Buemi. He himself stated that "gave penalty" on the track and the car was undrivable, giving clues that he didn't have any grip and that his career was frustrating, the most difficult of his life.
Reasons not lacked for thinking that, because after the round of the Sunday press, he and his team sat down to analyze what happened on Sunday to shoot at a pace so slow, what had been able to fail in the Toro Rosso to give that feeling of drag that surprised many, and at the same time frustrated after a remarkable rating.

In the second round already I I realized that the car not rotated

I don't even think what can happen by the head of a pilot of F1 than to the second round, after frankly out well, note that the car at Sepang was a chestnut with wheels. Me I simply cannot imagine but it must be very hard, bearing in mind that the Grand Prix of Malaysia usually not a bed of roses or with the car 100%. The explanation below:

We have discovered with surprise that the flaps on both sides were cracked and the lateral drifts (carbon fibre aerodynamic appendages), loose. Engineers are being evaluated and assessed these days before the Grand Prix of China the cause of these fissures, which probably began on Saturday.
The breakdown of these flaps produces a lower burden aerodynamics that has made me impossible to drive fast in key cornering of the circuit are discussed thoroughly and that I should attack a March less to protect the safety of the car and follow in race

Apart from rare and dangerous. I'll stick with the last sentence of Jaime Alguersuari, is those phrases that give you an idea of the level of motivation and determination of the pilots, and I hope so, compliance, and that us of much joy this season: "If all goes well, Sebastien and I are able to rate anywhere".

GP Australia F1 2011: Jaime Alguersuari stays at the gates of the Q3

A twelfth position is a good position, and that Jaime Alguersuari has been at the gates of the Q3, after a good session of official training for the Toro Rosso team. His teammate, Sebastien Buemi, will come from the 10th position on the grid.
The classification of the Catalan pilot has been good, and the result, although entry may be disappointing for the fact of being behind Buemi, is very good, since Alguersuari tends to be faster in race, so tomorrow we can expect very good things.
Jaime begins the 2011 season by a form of optimistic, given that has stated that we must fight for the points, leaving also very clear that they are where believed that they would be. In addition, James wanted to congratulate his teammate at Toro Rosso, who has entered the Q3.

We have done a good job. There to congratulate my colleague on the Q3. Exit 10 or 12 does not change much, and the race of tomorrow will be interesting. We are where we thought that we would be. We can take good advantage of tyres and will go out to attack. The goal are the points.
