Rally Acropolis 2011: Once more strategies pale competition

 Once again we have seen an end of stage affected by strategies already so famous. Two official Citroen pilots have managed to overcome to Petter Solberg and before the last special Ogier exceeded 15 seconds to s teammate Sebastien Loeb, which would go second tomorrow on the runway. However the strategy has returned to help the young Frenchman delay its position and leave tomorrow behind Loeb and with a relative advantage.
Everything has remained as before, with Jari-Matti Latvala recovering quite some time after the problems this morning with the turbo of the Ford Fiesta RS WRC. Evgeny Novikov for his part had to retire from the trial in the special second of the afternoon following the breakage of the strap of the alternator.

However the outrage came in the final stretch of the day. Ogier stated to keep in mind go everywhere to attempt to derive the greatest possible advantage. Despite his words the Gaulish has lost enough time so that it anticipates you Loeb and thus not having to open track tomorrow.
The own Ogier has blamed this loss of time precision to a few problems during the stretch, but the vast majority thinks that this movement has been because of the strategies that fashion have been in the WRC during recent times. For its part Mikko Hirvonen has managed to advance to Petter Solberg and tomorrow will depart third at the four sections and the Power Stage.
1 S. LOEB 3: 20: 27 6 0.0
2 S. OGIER 3: 20: 29 8 + 2.2
3 P. SOLBERG 3: 20: 48 5 + 20.9
4. M. HIRVONEN 3: 20: 50 0 + 22.4
5 H. SOLBERG 3: 24: 26 5 + 3: 58. 9
6. M. WILSON 3: 25: 57 8 + 5: 30. 2
7 K. RAIKKONEN 3: 27: 23 0 + 6: 55. 4
8 D. KUIPERS 3: 32: 53 3 + 12: 25. 7
9 J. LATVALA 3: 33: 43 9 + 13: 16. 3

Analysis post GP of Monaco 2011: strategies, tyres and rhythms

Looking back on the registration form of the pitstops of every team that facilitates Pirelli in your Facebook profile, and in view of the times recorded in each pilot's back to back, is only now that we're going to give an account of how the race was analyzing the numerical changes of tires reality (number of laps) and rhythm by pilot (according to the back to back).
Clearly analyze this to 24 pilots is absurd by long that would be, so let's do so basically for the three pilots of head. The first thing I do notice is that the first three pilots of the race made three different strategies and came to shoot many laps in less than a second. It is not possible unless we are speaking of beings from another world, and is actually thanks to the magic of Pirelli.

I would like to look at one thing, besides the fact that the tables are huge. Look at the first, the tyres fitted to each stint: Jenson Button was played respond so in my opinion, riding superblandos used to attack with a set of soft new at the end of the race. They would be 30 laps with tires with a superior performance, in theory!. The red flag destroyed the English strategy that mounted soft new (would have no more games of superblandos conditions). I still think that Button had the best strategy of all and even during the round which left the red flag was more likely than anyone else win (because expected likely mistakes by fainting of rubber bands).
Also in the back to back we see it. I have highlighted in bold the most relevant career parts for me. During the first stint, the first three equality is notorious, but the most revealing fact of what did Vettel finally is that in the first stint with superblandas used, its tires desfallecian. Later he did incredible thing with that amount of laps on the new soft placed by mistake.
The part marked in bold shows the speed and pace of Jenson Button, superior to its rivals. In addition a little earlier we saw how the early entrance of Button did Vettel to enter on the next lap, and Alonso did likewise to highlight to Vettel. It is amazing to see these tables. In that stretch Button was first followed by Vettel and Alonso. It was working a gap of more than 12 seconds.
After the Safety Car, order returns to Vettel, Button and Alonso (who seemed to have already lost the second position but stood nearby), and when Button decides to bring forward the pitstop to give the final hack to Vettel. The red flag annulled this brilliant strategy, in my opinion, but is in reality neither Vettel and Alonso would enter more! Here are the tables of tyres and the back to back, simply a carreron of the first three, no doubt.

Helmut Marko hints that Ferrari spy strategies

So of course has left it the Director of Red Bull, Helmut Marko. After seeing as Mark Webber was immediately followed by Fernando Alonso in three of its four entrances to pit, Marko has stated that Red Bull have information that Ferrari spy them. Something that would be nothing new in formula one but which continues to be an accusation would be much to say that it has evidence (show me the passes would say Rod Tidwell in Jerry Maguire)
To justify that assertion, Marko admits that during the race held on Sunday, Mark Webber was called pits too late and even so, Ferrari had time to react, and entering boxes next to the Australian. The time to cross the line of boxes between Webber and Alonso was four, three, and a second in the three stops that "nailed". In Red Bull even used false orders in order to check if they shivered in Ferrari. It wouldn't be the first time that in Red Bull trying to deceive their Italian rivals. There is no need to remember the great prize of Abu Dhabi in which the anglo-austriacos used to Webber as bait.
