Grand Prix of Europe F1 2011: Fernando Alonso, by mistake, will be fourth

 The Spanish returned to repeat the position of the Grand Prix of Monaco and will start fourth on the grid of the European Grand Prix. A fourth position that had not committed an error in his last attempt might have served to improve his position. Fernando Alonso is also human, and has the right to do so.
The Ferrari driver had shot the second position. Only seventy-four thousandths him separating registration of Lewis Hamilton. In the final moments of the Q3 all the Favorites went out again, but only Mark Webber was going to improve his Cronus. This he clinched fourth position in the second as Lewis Hamilton or Fernando Alonso managed to beat their previous time.
The Spanish error was rush too much braking at the entrance of a curve which forced him to open the account and made him lose four tenths on his previous record in the second sector. The result was that it aborted the last lap and retired to boxes. It was mission impossible to closing that gap in the third and last sector.

The session not started badly, though with some tension. Fernando Alonso was on the lookout in the Q1 for wanting to save a set of soft tyres. The thing became larger and the play eventually went well. In the Q2 everything went as planned and with only one set of soft road was opened to the Q3.
At the end of the classification, was asked if he had made a mistake on his final attempt. The Spanish seems that he avoided answering and walked away. The strange thing is that originally gave the impression that had not understood the question, but are the repetieron and it was then when was bridged his appearance with the media. In the repetition of the retranmision that gave the impression that he had been a mistake.
In their statements to the television Fernando Alonso targets podium in the face of tomorrow. A good start will be crucial. A detail that should not be overlooked is that it will make it on the dirty side of the runway. As well stated to laSexta, that dirty part is very dirty because cars her not tread in throughout the weekend.

Rally of Argentina 2011: Sébastien Ogier makes a serious mistake and gives the victory to Loeb

 If I were now Sebastien Ogier would give me your head against a wall until the next Acropolis Rally. Young French star has again demonstrated that there are still many situations does not control, and the get to the last day with a solid advantage seems to be one of them. Argentina Ogier was again leading to the final stage and a turnaround in the first special has graced victory rally.
And that already from the first moment he has been in a very nervous Ogier. In the first leg cut too a curve and its Citroen DS3 WRC dumps returning to track very touched and the severely damaged power steering. Loeb and Hirvonen that at a stroke cut more than 20 seconds in a stretch that despite its length, was the longest of the rally, not brought too much complexity took advantage of that situation.

The second tranche has also helped Loeb placed in second position and cutting the distance to Ogier in more than 8 seconds leaving an almost little difference between the two teammates. Mikko Hirvonen for its part also took advantage of the still leader ran the sections without power steering and reduced the advantage quite.
After a stretch in which again were Loeb and Hirvonen benefited by the problems of Ogier, arrived at the last special, the live stage power. Solberg has flown it, but the main attraction came in the first three times. Loeb has done enough to win the rally and has marked the third time of the special, while that Mikko Hirvonen also exceeded in extremis to an Ogier that enough I had to take the car to finish in third position.
