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.

GP of Monaco F1 2011: Michael Schumacher is marked as objective the podium


Michael Schumacher is marked as objective the podium for the of Monaco's formula one Grand Prix. For now, during this weekend, both he and Nico have been marking good times, and therefore, the heptacampeon did not rule out getting the first podium finish since his return to formula one, especially from the fifth position.
Schumacher acknowledged that, with the speed they have at present, only being quite optimistic, we might expect a podium, but explains that Monaco is Monaco, has its own rules, and you never know what can happen during the race. It has been shown every year, where we we always have surprises, and this that the real surprise in the circuit of the Principality would not be any.
Also, Michael explains that, and as it is Monaco, the output will be very important, and will take it into account when that time comes, in about an hour. Therefore, we know that the Mercedes driver will try to make a good start, aggressively and with the objective, surely, trying to reach podium positions from the outset.
Ross Brawn, for its part, said that the tires are more consistent to that in other races, more than what they expected. Despite this, says that it is difficult to know how it is going to lead to tire during the entire race, as the surface is still Sunday winning rubber, and the track continues becoming faster during the race.
The strategy will be important, and the consistency of the tires will not cause as much difference between old tires and new tires, which is what tends to give more opportunities for overtaking.

Turkey F1 2011 GP: Fernando Alonso returns to the podium in a fantastic career


The winner today was Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull showing unbeatable again, but one of the protagonists has been Fernando Alonso, who has now returned to the podium in a fantastic race. Ferrari is not as bad as it might have seemed, or as you could be expected after the problems of the weekend, and Alonso has taken much party, to 150 ° Italy.
Because we must bear in mind that Fernando has today made an impressive career. She is clear that the store is a set of soft tyres definitely has been a wise decision, which has compensated more than not giving a last lap yesterday. The Asturian has been skillful enough during the race and Eaglets to second position.
There has been able to endure during many twists and turns, making the rubber with the Australian pilot of Red Bull. In the end, Webber has had the last word, and in a final part of career with great force, which it has even set the fastest lap, he has been able to advance to Fernando Alonso. In any case, a podium is a great result, and, as they say, "the Championship is very long".
A good weekend in general. The car was now better than during the first three races. Finally I have happened it to me, driving. I've been fighting with Webber for second position, and I had a very well. We have lost time with Rosberg ahead, at the beginning, so it was impossible to fight for the victory. In the end, Mark had the fresh tires and I have not been able to maintain my position.

Lotus aims to the podium for 2012

In the formula one team Lotus were convinced that they will fight for the podium in 2012. They say it openly after being the best team of the three new in 2010. With this accomplished goal is the time to consider a new objective, which is for 2011 to be in the middle of the grid on a regular basis. It is not a very imaginative aim, it is something quite realistic, but only for the case that they are able to eliminate the difference between the ninth and the tenth team qualified in 2010, namely, the distance in race between a Toro Rosso and a Lotus. 0 13 Points in a preseason?
Meet the objective, for 2012 (and if before not just the world) the logical thing is to progress to be regularly in the points race after race, and why not, get some other podium. These are words of Graham Watson, the team's leader. And the constant points and podiums for 2013 would be higher and why not, "being in front of everything".
Not I tell that without ambitious objectives no one would be able to succeed, and we will leave it to flow the 2011 season to go see if so objective minimally reasonable, either become impossible. What Yes can assure you is that I have called, and much attention having found these statements. I have no arguments to qualify of delusional or visionary, time will tell.
