Formula Renault 3.5 Hungaroring 2011: Jean-Eric Vergné completes a perfect weekend

What second race of the Formula Renault 3.5 at Hungaroring , which we saw yesterday! Jean-Eric Vergne won again, completing a perfect weekend. If race saw the French to reduce distances to Robert Wickens, the second has seen him become leader of the general. The podium it completed Albert Costa and Adam Carroll, with good runs.
But not only good careers led them to the podium, and Sergio Canamasas as Robert Wickens, who finished in second and third position respectively, received two penalties in the final result, because their teams loose them boxes at a time considered to be dangerous. A penalty for Sergio, although that would contribute to the success of coast.
The history of the race saw a Sergio Canamasas losing the lead for a successful Vergne, trying to escape from the Spanish. Did not succeed until the arrival of the pit stops, that he gave a small advantage to the Red Bull driver. Albert Costa said that him, for this seems a reward by the penalty received in Monaco, and will offset more than.
Adam Carroll, for its part, has increased his pace when he reported the criminalization Canamasas and Wickens, and he earned the podium by just one-tenth. Had it not been so, we have seen two Spanish pilots on the podium of the Hungarian circuit, although the fourth position of Sergio, along with the third yesterday, he raises until the 11th position of the general.
In addition, nobody can escape that their results have been with a lower car and less media, so in the paddock of the Championship him begins to see as a kind of revelation of the season, above all, being ahead of his teammate in the interim classification of the Championship, which was his main objective at the start of season.
The following quote from the Championship will be in many weeks, the weekend of 19, 20 and 21 August, at Silverstone. With two-thirds of the Championship already disputed, there are just quotes from Silverstone, Paul Ricard and Montmelo. Well sure Jean-Eric Vergne and Robert Wickens, colleagues in the Carlin team, fight for victory, and we hope that our pilots continue to improve.

Formula Renault 3.5 Hungaroring 2011: victoria Jean-Eric Vergné and Sergio Canamasas achieved his first podium finish

Jean-Eric Vergne has imposed in the first race of the Formula Renault 3.5 at Hungaroring, with Sergio Canamasas in third position. Between the two drivers we have Alexander Rossi. A returned Adam Carroll has finished in fourth position, Wickens in fifth position and Kevin Korjus in the sixth. The points have completed Nelson Panciatici, Brendon Hartley, Nathanael Berthoin and Cesar Ramos
The first important casualty of the race was Daniel Ricciardo, who after a mistake in the round of installation, ran off the runway and did not start. Jean-Eric Vergne attacked from the first round, followed closely by Daniil Move, and Brendon Hartley in third position, further. Fifth rolled a returned Adam Carroll, with Sergio Canamasas sixth, very inspired.
Albert Costa, after a poor qualifying session, was in 11th position at the time. The first step toward goal we have seen how Charouz and Robert Wickens have starred a PIN maneuver that saw Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello last year, in the same Hungaroring circuit. Inexplicably, the "anger" has been to Wickens, it has had the position "of Barrichello".
In any case, the Canadian has not received any penalty, and at the end has been able to finish in fifth position, which helps you to keep ahead of his rival in the fight for the Championship, the French Vergne, pilot of Red Bull. You will have to see what happens tomorrow at Hungaroring, but keep things as until now, the fight is already only Vergne and Wickens, others are too far already.
As Albert Costa, has been forced to leave after a touch with Jan Charouz. The Czech driver has had two "lances," with Wickens and coast, and still has not received any penalty by the Organization, which is worthy of mention. A pity, since Costa had good pace and it would have been able to complete in an acceptable position.
The other Catalan pilot, Sergio Canamasas, has been impressive in bars late, and after a start of track and almost losing position with Wickens and Korjus, the first two classified before the race, has escaped from them, has come down to Adam Carroll and has managed to tell you to get a well deserved first podium in the World Series by Renault, which you aupan up to the 12th position of the general.
Half of career have begun casualties; the first Daniil Move, after a touch with Brendon Hartley. After a few laps, the own Hartley had touch in his struggle with Alexander Rossi and this has made it to loosen the pace, losing time. At the time, therefore, Sergio Canamasas filming in the fourth position, behind ahead of Carroll.
Finally, Brendon Hartley has received a penalty of 10 seconds for the touch with Alexander Rossiand Canamasas has been able to loosen the pace and ensure first podium. Now, Robert Wickens leads with 142 points, against Jean-Erick Vergne 127, with Kevin Korjus further back, with 110 points. Interesting Championship, but with fewer pilots with options to win. Tomorrow will be the second race of the Hungarian event.

Favorite Hungaroring to enter in the calendar of the WTCC instead of Marrakech

The problems of the Organization to find financial support made the appointment of Marrakech of the WTCC had to be cancelled. As soon as it was announced the cancellation, KSO Championship announced talks with two European circuits to replace the African test. The talks have borne fruit and it points to will be Hungaroring the new appointment of the WTCC. Two weeks later, as announced Marcello Lotti.
The new appointment in the calendar would not suffer any change in the dates. The WTCC became Hungaroring from 3 to 5 June, the same dates that were set out for the visit to Marrakech. If it is finally confirmed the arrival of the WTCC in the Magyar layout, we can check if historical to advance formula problems are the same for passenger cars, usually more fiery in this type of maneuver.
