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...

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.

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: Pedro de la Rosa was eating when he was called

Yesterday in the second session of free practice Pedro Martinez de la Rosa had to replace Sergio Perez at the controls of the C30 Sauber before the latter was not found to one hundred percent to drive. Precaution they decided that it was best that the Mexican will take a break. The Spanish will replace Perez what remains of weekend in Montreal.
So surprising was the Sauber call him took to De la Rosa finishing lunch at the premises of McLaren, racing team which is a tester. Everything was very quick, but the Spanish and was passed by the head give up the opportunity to participate in the Grand Prize of Canada.

It was all very fast. I was running out of food and they told me that it was very likely that I had to climb to the car. Since there has been a brutal race. There were ten minutes to the start of the session and I had to go for utensils of McLaren.

The Spanish went on track with the place:

I thought that if there could be five or six laps with this car, welcome would be, but that if it was not possible, already them you would on Saturday. We have attempted to regulate the pedals to my conditions but as it has not been possible to we have made them as they were. I have much to learn and improve with this car. There are many buttons, to deal with the spoiler and everything else. In addition, I am used to a different steering wheel, with buttons on the opposite side.

Marc Gené and Pedro de la Rosa, two good reasons to put up with Antonio Lobato

The first relay of the season, in General, left me with very good taste. The duo formed by Antonio Lobato and Marc Gene, Pedro de la Rosa joined in the final analysis. Two pilots with experience in formula one who bring common sense and wisdom, and to compensate for the freaks and the continuous loss of concentration of the journalist of laSexta.

Last year, with the signing of Pedro de la Rosa for Sauber, he was forced to abandon the work of a commentator. Will it replaced in the role Carlos Sainz, that as regards knowledge of formula one had nothing to do with the previous. When he could, Marc Gene accompanied Lobato and the pilot of rally. When agreed the three in the cabin, it was Gene virtually the only one that contributed something to the relay. Sainz was lost on many occasions, probably infected by Lobato.
This year was the question of what would happen with Pedro de la Rosa. Having abandoned the Swiss team, it seemed reasonable that he could return to broadcasts of laSexta, something that was already done since its days as a test driver for McLaren. The only little problem is that they already had with Marc Gene in this work, they would be compatible? It seems so in the light of the events.
For the chain is a luxury Ferrari and McLaren testers pilots as commentators. Two people with experience in formula one and with tables. A few tables that Carlos Sainz was a bit lacking and was aggravated with Antonio Lobato on the side. Some even let fall rally driver could be gafando to Fernando Alonso, but I think that this last is overstated.
In the past Grand Prize of Australia I was a nice surprise to see that Marc Gene and Pedro de la Rosa agreed in the work of commentators. I hope that they become fixed in this 2011. I imagine that for some other career one of them could miss by commitments which have, but laSexta much won both races.
Last season he had times that cost me endure the broadcasts of laSexta. Antonio Lobato has countless loss of concentration, as benevolent, make it unbearable to continue the race in its chain. The negative of this matter is that many we have no choice but to swallow by the absence of alternatives. This year, so it is sensed in Australia, it seems that Marc and Peter will make that detail to go into the background.
Finally, they are my own things or Antonio Lobato spoke less than what we are accustomed? To me, gave me the impression that he was silent over the account, something that, at least I, I thanked him for much. Less talk, more.

On the second day of test of pre-season today taking place in the circuit catalaunya, one of the novelties being the presence of Vitantonio Liuzzi with Hispania Racing F1 Team behind the wheel of one of the last season F110. In the news that referred to the presence of the Italian to Spanish team, one of our most loyal readers commented on the rumor-noticia had been released from channel 9-Valencia.

If Vitantonio Liuzzi cannot money calling for the team, Hispania Racing F1 Team will try to persuade Pedro de la Rosa, for the umpteenth time, join the "Spanish" project. Now, the seat of HRT is the last free site that remains in the grid so it would be the last train to Barcelona's pilot to continue in the competition. If it is not reality, Pedro de la Rosa will remain the official tester of Pirelli. The contract linking the Spanish pilot with the Italian tyre maker was extended for the 2011 season with a clause: the possibility of Pedro de la Rosa found a seat on the grid.

Mark Blundell: "if I were Renault, would I choose to Pedro de la Rosa"

According to the former formula one driver Mark Blundell, if you were in the situation of Renault, I choose to Pedro de la Rosa as a substitute for Robert Kubica. It gives as reason the fact that there is no driver who knows both the Pirelli tyres like him; even Nick Heidfeld and Romain Grosjean.

Although recent rumours said that Boullier had reduced the list of possible pilots three (Senna, Heidfeld and Liuzzi), he has denied. Explained that, indeed, spoke with these three pilots, but adding that he also spoke with more people who are ready to compete. To be able to vote this post you must login or register here.

In addition, so it seems, from Renault have made it clear that they do not hurry to elect a replacement pilot, since yet five weeks for the Bahrain Grand Prix. It is expected that one principle (Bruno Senna and Romain Grosjean) Renault test pilots are testing in Jerez.

In any case, one of the questions surrounds Renault R31, since Boullier doesn't say they want a driver capable of winning the World Championship, demonstrating confidence in its new single-seater indirectly. We'll see if the team just having a few good hands also.
