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.

The race of Champions could be compelled to change the date

It seems that all the mess produced in Bahrain, and the great interest that will dispute the test, going to December the Grand Prize of India, may require more than one to change their plans. In addition to delaying the holidays of the formula one drivers, the race of Champions may also be affected by this change of dates, forcing the organizers to change the current forecast. Let us not forget that the test will be held this year in Frankfurt being originally planned for 3 and 4 December.
And it is that in the Race of Champions of this year is still waiting for participation, as usual, many drivers of formula one, which are often found the German Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel. The new option on the table would be that the participating pilots traveling from New Delhi on December 9, place where there is this year the FIA gala, to Frankfurt for the next day a cup of Nations.

Stadium Race. La versión española de The Race Of Champions


On 30 June, the Estadio Vicente Calderon, home to Atletico de Madrid, will become one day a racing circuit. For the second time, the first edition was in 2008 in Gran Canaria with bad memory on my part, will be the Stadium Race, an event in the style of The Race of Champions (Moreover, the design of the layout is very similar)in which we can see compete to pilots of different categories including clarifying who is the best. An honorific title that does not go beyond the pure fun but has its hook.
Among the confirmed pilots, for the moment all national, the relationship is quite interesting. Jaime alguersuari, nani Roma, Marc gene, xevi pons, dani Sordo and Joan vinyes.. .and more missing. The weapon that will be the pilots will also be of Spanish origin. The S2 Car Siver, renamed the stadium race Car, is a CM of which you can see every weekend on the mountain climbs and which has as main virtue its low weight. Only 450 kg, without driver, to 185 HP from a Suzuki motorcycle engine. In addition its reduced dimensions make it a perfect model for the layout of 8 metres in width.
