Grand Prix of F1 2011 Canada: Yes this is Michael Schumacher we wanted to see


After displeasure by neglect, Fernando Alonso and considerable joy for the results achieved by Jaime Alguersuari and Pedro de la Rosa seems to me that the next point to note it would be the performance of Michael Schumacher. Yesterday the German showed because it has always been considered one of the most intelligent track pilots.
Rain equalled a little cars and allowed to see the real pilotajand some of the participants in a grand prize of Montreal passed through water, lot of water. One of them was the own Schumacher at the controls of his Mercedes, alias "maltrata-neumaticos". Obviously this fact not is left to see a track while it remained wet was the perfect territory for the single-seat silver.
Overtaking that we saw yesterday of the seven-time champion of the world of formula 1 would describe as it show. Some like the dual advancement to Kamui Kobayashi and Felipe Massa showed "perreria" of a pilot who could be in his last season in the Grand Circus. Others, such as that made to Nick Heidfeld it could not see the television signal not caught, but what is certain is that the DRS was not served.
Later with the track drying to forced marches by the Sun and the passage of cars left to see the real level of each of the teams. In the case of the Mercedes was seen as a destroza-neumaticos and this allowed the fastest cars such as the Red Bull of Mark Webber and the Jenson Button McLaren exceeded very clearly to Schumacher, partly aided by the use of the DRS.
As a final result a fourth because that to me, fan of German from his early years at Ferrari, at least I knew little. However was the best way to redeem himself of other poor performances this season (and the previous) in part by the degradation of tyres and partly by one or another error of pilotage and excess of fogosidad of the considered one of the best drivers in formula one history.

Grand Prix of Canada F1 2011: there is no penalty for Jenson Button and preserves victory


After the meeting of the Commissioners at the end of the Grand Prize of Canada, they have believed appropriate that Jenson Button is not sanctioned as a result of the incidents which starred in during the race. First had an encounter with Lewis Hamilton and then another with Fernando Alonso. In both cases his rivals were forced to abandon the career.
The Commissioners have indicated that in his opinion no two actions is subject to sanction, allowing you to preserve the achieved victory in extremis a few hours ago. Therefore the two incidents by Button are simple lances of career. A decision that comes later than ideal, but that, at least to me, I think of the logical
In the clash with Lewis Hamilton is likely to not even see coming to his teammate and continued drawing as you would normally. How was he going to think that his partner would try strain through this hollow mninimo? Hence I believe that Hamilton sin of optimistic trying to get where there could be no. There was no physical space for your car.
With regard to the touch with Fernando Alonso, simply got inside and ran out of room for manoeuvre. The Spanish drew on the exterior by pulling towards the apex and there was Button. This little could do to avoid the collision with the Ferrari.

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.

Grand Prix of Canada F1 2011: Hispania Racing F1 Team, the best of the three new teams


After the formal training of yesterday, things already painted well, but no one would have ever thought that Hispania Racing F1 Team could place their two cars ahead of the Lotus and the Virgin, in career. But this has been, both Vitantonio Liuzzi and Narain Karthikeyan have become an excellent career which has seen them come in thirteenth and fourteenth position.
In the end, the result has changed, then Narain Karthikeyan has received a drive through applied after the race, which has made him lose three positions, by having jumped a curve at a point in the race. But the speed is there. Of course, the race today was not the most normal, and the Gilles Villeneuve circuit is very special, of if same, but the result is excellent.
In fact, this result surpasses the best result obtained by the team last year in a couple of chaotic races where not many cars finished and becomes the best result in the history of the team. Today is different, because both cars have crossed the finish line ahead of its rivals, which shows us that, at least, have circuits where it can be competitive.
Now it miss to see if Hispania can confirm this improvement in the next races, qualifying in front of the Virgin, and fought with them in the races. Although, why not fight with the Lotus, also? In the end, today has been fight and win. Little I have, rather than congratulate the entire Hispania, highly competitive team throughout the weekend.

Canada F1 2011 GP: Fernando Alonso gets stupid face



Today's career has been a disappointment in all rule for Fernando Alonso. For the first time so far this season came in the front line. What interested him less was a wet race. When things are going well the best thing is to avoid the lottery of the water. Today was one of those days to have a test smoothly. Finally, it did not.
The Spanish had to leave in the wake of a touch with Jenson Button. The rear wheel of the Ferrari hit the left front of the McLaren. The result was that the single-seat red ended up stranded in a piano and English instead unharmed in the incident. Despite the gestures of Fernando Alonso asking that they pulled him, it was impossible to move his seat of that place.
With the release given behind the safety car, avoided unnecessary in the snatch risks turned off the lights. Nothing more to return to the safety car pitlane, Fernando Alonso attempted to overtake Sebastian Vettel without success. The Asturian then was cautious, opting to leave successive attempts when track conditions improve. Adventures that never arrived.
Jenson Button was the first pilots to set intermediate tyres. English is an ACE in these situations. Sometimes fails, but I would say that its rate of success is greater than the errors. Ferrari they climbed to the winning horse of Button and also did enter to Alonso. Decision that ultimately proved to be just right. Do blame the weatherman who failed? Fault of the strategists? Fault of witches? Blame for who?

The few laps had to re-enter to reassemble extreme rain tyres. Among whistles and flutes Fernando Alonso was eighth in the middle of the peloton. Things were ugly. It had front to Mark Webber and back to Jenson Button, two pilots who are not exactly mancos. Two bones hard nut to crack.
The Spanish options they dashed in a clash with Jenson Button who left anchored on a piano. The McLaren tried to overtake the Ferrari. They were going to enter the curve, paired with the British trying to beat him inside to the Spanish. In my opinion Alonso hastened over its braking and when it began to turn the position had clearly won in English.
The problem in such situations is that which is on the inside running out of room for manoeuvre. The result was that the rear wheel of the single-seat red played the left front of his rival and hence ended everything for the Spanish. In my view it is a lance's career, even taking into account the conditions of the track, which make it even more difficult maneuvers such. Be seen that he decides the FIA on the matter, but I do not punish anyone.
The video of the incident is under these lines, although it is expected that it be deleted by the constables of the FOM in less than a rooster that sings.
Fernando Alonso had to stay with stupid face to see how Jenson Button took the victory. Who was going to say. A Jenson Button that we should not forget that it was at the height of Alonso in the resumption of the Grand Prize of Canada after the red flag.
In summary, the Spanish suffers its first abandonment of the season and sees how the leader of the world, Sebastian Vettel, him trailing by 92 points. A distance that seems insurmountable in the great prizes remaining to conclude the season. Is there hope?
PS: to the impatient for the 24 hours of Le Mans ask them apologize and tell them that Stephen Viso and Igor safe Zamorano who bring a series of entries of more juicy in the next few days... what exactly? It will have to wait because even I know that you bring between hands.

Grand Prix of Canada F1 2011: Wild River of Jenson Button victory


The output of the Grand Prize of Canada occurred behind the safety car due to the large amount of water that had fallen on the asphalt of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. All this with a rain that would not cease to annoy all up after two hours and a half and then gave truce at times, but in the end ended up disappearing from the map. When every now and then resumed the race, he had to leave the safety car. Not narrowly led more laps than Sebastian Vettel testing.
Surprisingly the victory took which is usually the smartest under changing conditions, Jenson Button. The English beat the German in a final return to remember, derrapaje of the Red Bull through. And to thank you for not losing control in a more committed place. Finally win for Jenson Button, second place for Sebastian Vettel, third for Mark Webber. Fourth ended Michael Schumacher, fifth sixth Felipe Massa and Vitaly Petrov.
The reigning world champion controlled the race from start to finish. Its only moon was the last restart of the race behind the safety car. Michael Schumacher was second, with Jenson Button fourth and Mark Webber third. The young German thought that he fell asleep a little. Button took party in the duel between Schumacher and Webber to placed second and go as an exhalation forward.
In the absence of two laps was to kick of Vettel and thus activate the DRS. In the first attempt he was unsuccessful. It gave the impression that Vettel would win another race, the umpteenth this season. It wasn't like that. Button was the shadow of the German, waiting for a failure or the latest activation of the DRS. It did not lack. Red Bull kb7 skidded on a curve, instantly took advantage of the McLaren to be leader and win the test. Luckily, because Vettel was lucky to have such fright in a clear place and without walls in sight. Could you pressure at the Red Bull?
The race has so many things that comment that there is not enough space on this entry. Very good race Michael Schumacher and Kobayashi, pena Martinez de la Rosa could not open up step up points, and bad luck of Fernando Alonso, who had a touch with Jenson Button, the winning dessert, which left him with the car run aground on a piano.
Finally, not miss the opportunity to comment on the shame of this great prize of Canada waiting forever for the resumption after the red flag. LaSexta advertising, better not to speak. Instead of a retransmission of formula one with advertising cuts, it seems a retransmission of ads with cuts of formula 1.
We look forward to the possible changes that might be in the classification as a result of all investigations in course of the FIA. It should not be forgotten that one of the investigated is Jenson Button.

Grand Prix of Canada F1 2011: the Hispania Racing F1 Team are already faster than the Virgin


What have seen you today to Hispania Racing F1 Team has been fantastic, ending both cars ahead of the Virgin of Jerome d' Ambrosio, and Vitantonio Liuzzi in front of the Virgin's Timo Glock. But also, Narain Karthikeyan has ended less than a tenth of a Glock, demonstrating that the Hispania is at the level of the Virgin, or slightly ahead.
Although, if we are going to analyze the results, it is also true that both the Hispania and the Virgin are far from their ex-rivales of Lotus Renault. Why I say ex-rivales? It is simple; Currently, the Lotus Renault are closer to the Toro Rosso and company to the Hispania and Virgin. We could say that the "Cosworth Cup" is only a matter of four cars.
In any case, little by little, the Spanish team is moving forward, and it is doing things well done. Step to step it goes approaching to rivals, and for now it seems that it is able with one of them. If they would regularly be ahead of the Virgin, may begin to arise even away from them, and finished in tenth position in the Championship.
For tomorrow, the objective is very clear; finish ahead of the Virgin, and if it rains, finish the race, trying to make it as forward as possible. A chaotic race and a good position, albeit without points, can be the key to getting finished ahead of Virgin in the Championship, and I am sure that know this in Hispania.

Canada F1 2011 Grand Prix: Pedro de la Rosa passed to the Q2, surprising with its back to the category


Pedro de la Rosa has managed to reach the Q2 in his return to the category, surprising and strange. In addition, the Catalan, McLaren Mercedes test driver and former driver of Sauber to the Grand Prize of Italy of 2010, has been to few tenths of Kamui Kobayashi, with the same car that he. Without doubt, an excellent result.
After the accident this morning, had doubts about the State of the car, as well as the level of implementation for the classification. At the end, after the Q1, was shown that both the team and the pilot were more than ready to get a good result. In fact, it has managed to leave behind seven pilots, and has gone to the Q2.
In this second part of the classification, return back after it has been improving, and indeed, although he has finished last at the meeting, which gives the seventeenth position in the grid, has finished very close to Adrian Sutil, and few tenths of Kamui Kobayashi. Thus, anyone would say that Pedro has a session of free practice and 15 minutes from another.
Catalan explains that he believes that a two more sessions to adapt well to the car would lack it, but is of the view that the race will help you much to achieve this adaptation that wants to have. It ensures that its objective in the face of morning is to give the maximum points to his team for this race, rewarding the confidence put in him. He believes that it is possible, especially if it rains tomorrow.

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.

Canada F1 2011 GP: Fernando Alonso confirms the improvement and will second

 The Spanish began the weekend of the Grand Prize of Canada with very good foot, while in all free positions of privilege to practice. If we add the fact that Felipe Massa also demonstrated to be in shape to that detail, it was clear that the Ferrari 150 ° Italy is competitive at the Gilles Villeneuve.
In the end Fernando Alonso stayed to 185 thousandths of the time of Sebastian Vettel, although very close to Felipe Massa. Only 18 thousandths separated to the cars of the Italian team. With this result, the two-time world champion signs its best classification of what have been in 2011.

The Q1 and Q2 went smoothly for the Spanish. The times marked returned to be with the best and they confirmed the good feeling that he had transmitted in free practice. The Monaco, seemed that he could fight for the pole. The possibilities was minimal, but there were at least.
In the Q3, the turning point on Saturday, Sebastian Vettel returned to remove anything that has and which allows you to rank better than anyone. Alonso was closer than ever this 2011, but it was not enough to subdue the dictatorship that German exercises Yes, qualifying session qualifying session also.
Felipe Massa even to point was to give a small annoyance. Until the final lap of the Asturian, Brazilian exceeded you the times table. Alonso finally could overwhelm his teammate. By a sigh that Yes. Barely 18 thousandths separated the cronos of both.
The Spanish aims to every Sunday morning since that turns off the lights. Keys aliyah in three points: the way out, an aspect that Fernando Alonso has improved in the last races; tyres, which suffered a good punishment in the Canadian route, and at the time, which can cause that the rain will become a guest of exception.

Canada F1 2011 Grand Prix: best time of Sebastian Vettel at the third session of free practice


At the 3rd meeting of free, practice better time has been for Sebastian Vettel. Therefore, we have things very matches in the absence of the qualifying session for the Grand Prize of Canada 2011 only. Behind him, at the top we find also Fernando Alonso and Nico Rosberg, confirming the performance of the Ferrari and Mercedes.
Felipe Massa, for its part, has achieved fourth place, and just behind him, both McLaren and Michael Schumacher with his Mercedes. We could say that the top four teams were very evenly matched here in Montreal, so the classification within a few hours ahead and the race tomorrow, anything would be tremendously emocionatne, that I'm sure.
The top ten it have completed Vitaly Petrov and the two Force India, with Adrian Sutil ahead. Since then, the Mercedes engine will be much helped team Vijay Mallya, which has considerably improved its performance on previous races. In fact, yesterday Paul di Resta because he had a very prominent role in the second free practice.
As for our other pilots of House, Jaime Alguersuari has succeeded in 14th position, while Pedro de la Rosa has completed in a correct seventeenth plaza, blemished only by a track exit where yesterday had his accident Kamui Kobayashi. Pedro has come out by itself in the foot, although he had doubts about the State of your gearbox. It will have to see it then.
Hispania, for its part, has had a remarkably good meeting, with Vitantonio Liuzzi ahead of the two Virgin, and Narain Karthikeyan ahead of one of them. One could say that, so far, Hispania beats the departure to Virgin, although we will have to wait for tomorrow, because what is truly account. Anyway, is a good feeling, which should be in the Spanish team.
One of the negative points of the meeting is for Mark Webber, who has had problems in his KERS that have prevented him from leaving to spin at the last session of free practice. A penalty for the Australian, who is not having a too bright season, following a 2009 and 2010 very competitive. To see if it will get be ahead this time.
By the way, that when you get the qualifying session, we will have to be very outstanding of the sky, because at the end was really cloudy. Will come the rain? We'll see it in a few hours!

Grand Prix of Canada F1 2011: Sebastian Vettel opens in the wall of Champions and Nico Rosberg achieved the best time


The best time of the first session of the Grand Prize of Canada classification has been for Nico Rosberg. Although the other news of the day has been the new name that is added to the famous wall of Champions; Sebastian Vettel. The German driver has lost control in the last chicane of the circuit and this has led to his Red Bull to impact with the wall, although it seems that its chassis is well.
The red flag released after the accident at the German pilot has lasted just a few minutes, so that it has not bothered too teams in their work of the session. Despite the clash, has to be said for the first time in several years the asphalt of the circuit of Montreal is in good condition, and not it melts with the passage of cars, which is a good news.
It is to comment on that Ferrari look good. Both Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa has been throughout the session in fairly quick time, and the end result has been satisfactory. It is clear that it should not be carried away by the results, and is that it is only the first session of free practice, and things can change much between today and tomorrow.
But, in any case, that the Ferrari well now is a good sign, because that lets us see that the car has some potential in the Canadian circuit. Another team that seems to go well in Canada is Mercedes Grand Prix, in part due to its powerful engine, probably. Both Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg have been setting competitive times.
Going back further, we see that both the McLaren and Red Bull have played a discreet role, which is suspicious, taking into account that today they are probably the two teams with the best set of whole grilled. It will have to wait for the second session to try to draw more conclusions. In addition, sure that Vettel would later have been if he had not had the accident.
Jaime Alguersuari, for its part, has been thirteenth, just ahead of Daniel Ricciardo, while his Toro Rosso has the golden colour slightly different this weekend, which has brought more rumors about the possible purchase of the reserve team of Red Bull by Aabar. With regard to the Hispania, they are now within the 107%, and mixed with the Virgin, and this is also good news.

Grand Prix of Canada F1 2011: Sergio Pérez is not 100% and will not suffer by caution


My colleague Alex Garcia commented does nothing to Pedro de la Rosa will replace Sergio Perez the rest of the weekend in the Grand Prize of Canada. The reasons were not too clear, but in a statement the Sauber team it has shed a little light on the matter. Sergio Perez is not 100 per cent and its weekend has finished ahead of time not to take unnecessary risks.
At the end of the first session of free practice Sergio Perez informed the team that was not too well. According to its formula one team this discomfort may be as a result of his crash in Monaco. Caution have decided that the Mexican does not take part in what remains of the weekend. Thus Pedro Martinez de la Rosa will be at the controls of the C30 Sauber what remains of Grand Prize.
The words of Peter Sauber thereon have been:
Its evolution we have caught by surprise because Sergio had several medical check-ups to fund, first at the hospital in Monaco, then to a hospital in Zurich, and finally, the doctors of the FIA he gave the green light yesterday Thursday in Montreal. No one expected that it would be wrong. Perhaps we are being too cautious, but when it is for the sake of the health of one of our pilots don't want to take risks.
Sergio Perez has commented:
Clear that he wanted to run and had no doubt that he was perfectly. But unfortunately it seems that this is not the case. I am deeply disgusted. I talked to the team after the meeting and told them that I was not at 100%. I just want to run when you are 100 per cent. I need more time to recover.
Finally, Peter Sauber has not wasted the opportunity also has shown its gratitude to Peter and McLaren:
We want to thank Pedro de la Rosa and McLaren for help in this situation.
Once more Pedro Martinez de la Rosa once again, samples of why it is so beloved in formula one. The Spanish has had no problems to be at the controls of a Sauber. All this despite the fact that last season was evicted from the single-seater mid year. Seen so it seems that it does not grudge to Sauber for what happened in 2010. A ten for him and another ten to McLaren for allowing him to take part in the Grand Prize of Canada. It's so nice.

Canada F1 2011 GP: Fernando Alonso pending rain

GP de Canada F1 2011: Fernando Alonso pendiente de la lluvia


Fernando Alonso yesterday led the times in the second free practice table. Spanish Ferrari driver has started the weekend of the Grand Prize of Canada to transmit good feelings and fairly optimistic about their chances in the race. A few facts that confirmed seeing the good do Felipe Massa at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.


One of the drawbacks that might be Fernando Alonso in Montreal is the appearance of rain. The weather forecast so far suggest that it is possible that the liquid element make Act of presence in the Canadian route, something that the Spanish not has been overlooked in his blog on the website of Ferrari. The water is not ruled out for Saturday or Sunday.


The Ferrari driver wrote yesterday after the coaches on Friday:


Predicted rain tomorrow, and this may mean that the work done today only serves to today. With her everything can change, so we are going to maintain the concentration and to prepare for a possible change in the conditions.

The Spanish said the main improvement brought about and their feelings with the Pirelli:


The improvement in the DRS will be very effective if we take the second gives us. If it is dry, the opportunities to bring forward are much more than in the past. The combination of the faster Pirelli and the usual terms of the Montreal track will cause quite a few incidents in throughout the weekend.

Alonso said that Canada errors are expensive:


At the end of the session gets the pneumatic superblando and become between 30 and 40 laps trying to get closer to the walls, but any small error puts you against the wall. This is Canada, this is the case. We see that accidents occur normally at the end of the race, when the tires are already somewhat degraded. We saw an accident of Vettel after 12 laps, and the other cars were with old tires. Therefore, knowing the combination of Pirelli is not easy, nor neither control them when they degrade.

We will have to keep an eye on the forecast of rain for this weekend. A detail that could cause that the picture had changed completely at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Canada F1 2011 Grand Prix: Pedro Martínez de la Rosa leaves the FP2 and could play the rest of weekend


At the moment there is very little information, but while writing this article, Pedro de la Rosa is prepared for the second session of free, practice and could play the rest of the weekend. Sergio Perez was found badly after the first session of free practice and the Sauber team has resorted to Pedro de la Rosa.
The third driver of Sauber is, officially, Esteban Gutierrez, but probably his little experience in cars more powerful has been a key factor, especially in contrast to the experience of Peter in the Sauber for 2010, which will be relatively similar to 2011, as well as his experience with Pirelli tires. In any case, a press release that we take by surprise.
What is clear is, precisely, that there is far from clear. Remains to be seen if Sergio Perez is well morning and you can exit or if, on the other hand, it is not seen with forces to follow. For the moment, from Sauber said that, in principle, Pedro de la Rosa would take part in the weekend, although it can not confirm 100% of time. Keep you informed.
I guess that it would be foolish to comment irony posed by Pedro de la Rosa to help Sauber in this situation, after as it was fired last year. But precisely situations so say a lot of Peter and, of course, their desire to run in formula one, in addition to the good faith of McLaren, that lets you compete with another team.
ACTUALZACION: Confirmed that Pedro de la Rosa will be competing throughout the weekend.

Canada F1 2011 Grand Prix: best time of Fernando Alonso, who was postulated as candidate to victory


The first surprise gave us Sauber, putting on Pedro de la Rosa in his second car, before Sergio Perez was not found either. In principle it played throughout the weekend. In terms of results, the best time in the second session of free practice has been for Fernando Alonso, just ahead of Sebastian Vettel.
In addition, Felipe Massa was third, which makes it very clear that the Ferrari works. After the first three, both McLaren and the surprise of the session, Paul di Resta with sixth position. Mark Webber was seventh, and the two Lotus Renault Grand Prix and Rubens Barrichello completed the top ten. A curious meeting, with the Mercedes extremely far from the head.
Little more than half an hour to the end, and to complete a weekend complicated for Sauber, Kamui Kobayashi has hit the barrier, shattering his single-seater. That has caused a red flag, and has been just at that moment, when Pedro de la Rosa has already sitting in his new car, to out to shoot, for the first time in a week-end of career from Italy last year.
Unfortunately, after little, Jerome D'Ambrosio has suffered an accident at the same point that Kobayashi. In the end, has not been able to shoot or twenty minutes, although it is clear that with his experience, the little time that has been tested will have been very useful, and will know you to glory, even by problems of health of Sergio Perez, who hope he recovers as soon as possible.
De la Rosa has achieved the eighteenth position, ahead even of the Mercedes of Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher, after just fifteen minutes from time on the track. Jaime Alguersuari, for its part, has finished in the fourteenth position, again just behind Sebastien Buemi; something that is certainly not very positive for their aspirations for the future.
By the way, it seems that, according to the latest weather, both morning and Sunday could rain. In fact, in the paddock of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve almost ensures that the two days that are Grand Prize will be past by water. We'll see; until that I do not see it, not me so I creere, although the Atlantic climate is easier to predict than the Mediterranean.
We'll see what happens tomorrow, with the excitement added that, as already happened in 2010, we will have three pilots of House that follow. Also for tomorrow we will have many and varied unknowns; see what can be done Peter, see if it rain, if the performance of the Ferrari is good really, and if the Mercedes with the potential to be, among other things.

Grand Prix of Canada F1 2011: follow-up LIVE Sunday


As always so far during the 2011 season, on Sunday we will be, punctual, to follow live the Grand Prize of Canada 2011, another essential races of the Championship. After the excitement of Monaco, it seems that in Canada things are also going to be entertaining. Be seen as carry tires in the Canadian asphalt, and especially see if it rain, the liquid element seems to be this 2011 the phantom menace which never comes, but which one day will have to do it.
The meeting place, as you know, will be in our LIVE Motorpasion F1. We will try to, each other, clear, analyze the situation a little bit before the race, and go to commenting on what is happening, addition, with your permission, to try to predict what might happen in the laps following to which we are.
So know you, on Sunday at 7 p.m., an hour celtiberian, you have an appointment with the Grand Prize of Canada, but those who want to come half an hour before, you can participate in our previous small. I hope there with desire to see a career best even if it should be as above.
