Grand Prix of Turkey F1 2011: continues the dictatorship of Sebastian Vettel with his fourth consecutive pole


Four runs brought this 2011 season and four pole positions leads Sebastian Vettel. The German is used in each qualifying session while nobody SBI cough him. The reigning world champion has been far superior to its rivals at Istanbul Park. Vettel is cementing its title defense in the fight against the Cronus from Saturday, which is showing intractable.
Mark Webber has finished second to four tenths of his team-mate, with Nico Rosberg racing its attempt until the end of the Q3 and which served to be third. The Mercedes was pleasant to the Q3 surprise, Lewis Hamilton, who finished fourth, and Fernando Alonso, who ended fifth. The Spanish is paid to that position on the grid.
This has been the trust they had in Red Bull, to both Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber have reserved the second game of the Q3 soft tire for the race tomorrow. Ferrari have been saved that second game with only a lap in the final attempt, the so-called outlap Felipe Massa for its part did not take part in the Q3. Ferrari's strategy or problems with your car? It should not be forgotten that they had to change the engine to its 150 ? Italy Ferrari after the last session of free practice.
In the Q1 Kamui Kobayashi was linked to the fixed six that do not normally reach the Q2, the two Hispania F1 Racing Team of Narain Karthikeyan and Vitantoni Liuzzi, the couple of Virgin Racing formed by Jerome D'Ambrosio and Timo Glock and both Team Lotusboth Jarno Trulli as Heikki Kovalainen. In the case of the Japanese a problem prevented him from marking time and had to leave the session ahead of schedule.
The Q2 was, as always, more exciting than the previous round. Occasionally there is some unexpected misfortune, and this time the shock almost takes Nick Heidfeld. The German Renault almost does not happen until the Q1, but at the last minute cut managed to save the furniture in extremis; It was fought by just 24 thousandths.They were by the way, Rubens Barrichello, Adrian Sutil, Paul di Resta, Pastor Maldonado, Sergio Perez, Sebastien Buemi and Jaime Alguersuari.
Tomorrow we will witness a race with one interesting range of strategies. The pilots who have chosen to reserve games of tyres with regard to the race, and of those who have chosen to secure a good place on the grid to cope with a more comfortable position booting and with fewer scares.

Grand Prix of Malaysia F1 2011: second consecutive pole for Sebastian Vettel


Very exciting qualifying session for the Grand Prize of Malaysia of F1, began like a theoretical battle between McLaren and RedBull, just as we have seen that they have gone the last free practice, which ended unchanged. Sebastian Vettel repeats in the first place, but this time with less difference with his pursuers. Perhaps we thought already principle that Ferrari would be back in a natural way, and why we got a pleasant surprise after the meeting.
In all parts of this qualifying session there has been fighting and emotion, the first thing we got is the good news of the classification of HRT for the race, largely surpassing the 107%, and then setting aside than expected with McLaren and RedBullWe see Fernando Alonso and Ferrari something closer. But just something.

HCT comes first with soft, desperate to reach 107%. During the first stages of the Q1 seemed within this limit (remember that the rule applies only in the Q1, naturally). Shortly after starting, one of the side pontoons that cover the engine of the Rosso Buemi Toro jumps through the air as a role of smoking, and comes out red flag. Upon the resumption of the Cronus, 12: 00 and with all the work to be done for some teams.
Ferrari come with soft to pass the cut Yes or Yes. Zero risk here but in first undertook the Q3 to spend that soft game. Do not give very good feeling, but they manage to pass the Q1 without disheveled. 107% At that time was four tenths behind Liuzzi, the two Hispania were 5 minutes of qualifying. But missing the Lotus and the RedBull.
The Q2 seemed that you threatened rain, but.... Began the two Toro Rosso setting pace but soon Hamilton put forward and we expected to see Webber, if we were being cheated or really had problems. But we deceived. But Mark 1'36. 080 while Vettel stopped the Cronus with 1'35. 934. Button marked 1'35. 569 with soft also and the differences with hard tires are brutal. Alonso remained with mediated fifth the Q2.
Hamilton caused Rosberg fell into the abyss despite a brutal blockade of wheels of the English, the Hamilton House brand. Rosberg reacted to smash their times, while the two Sauber improved his times in an attempt to move to Schumacher and Buemi's rating. Difficult but exciting end of Q2. Total, Rosberg and Schumacher eliminated, Kobayashi and eliminated Buemi.
He began the Q3 with little hope for Ferrari, with 0 soft tyres (so it seemed), and with the Renault with good games, the thing was bad painting. McLaren and Red Bull pulled from the outset and it seemed very clear that they dominasen to the end, and furthermore Alonso comes out with soft usados… amazing! Perhaps the game had in Q1, but at first seemed a new, say, gaffe. The fact is that it was a new game, as if it were a sleight of hand or what we have seen.
Alonso is superior to his teammate clearly, and it has been ahead of Petrov and Heidfeld, this is the quality of our champion, while Massa stayed in the seventh octave position ahead of Petrov, Rosberg and Kobayashi. The thing is as well, with the first with a devastating Cronus Vettel (although there was a yellow flag on the track), with spectacular Hamilton behind nothing of time and Webber, Button not followed so much distance.
