In the case of the Spanish all the mess of the rain has caught it on track with smooth tires and it has taken a back rather than his rivals to enter pit to change tyres something that he has put on track with adequate tires when it was too late and the track was virtually flooded.

Sebastien Ogier for their part also went for this morning, however the young French star has broken its rear suspension when he quarreled with the Norwegian pilot for third place. This will to lift the foot and it left him in fourth place that him away a little momentary struggle for the head of the general classification.
Meanwhile Dani Sordo succeeded in sixth position final and sum the first eight points for the Mini John Cooper Works team. Of course it is a very good start for a Mini Countryman WRC that has shown to be still a bit lacking in form as to the engine.

Grand Prix of Turkey F1 2011: Hispania Racing F1 Team takes their two cars to the finish

Yesterday in the classification was good, now in race the situation has been different, but in any case, Hispania Racing F1 Team has carried its two cars to the finish, which is always very important, taking into account the lack of mileage of the team during the preseason.
Hispania career has generally been quietsince that have always been some distance of the Virgin of Jerome D'Ambrosio and the Lotus. While Narain Karthikeyan was trying to keep up with the Belgian pilot, Vitantonio Liuzzi had a day with more problems.
The Italian driver has reached target two turns of his teammate, after a day which has not been easy for him. Arrive at two rounds of your team-mate has to be hard, even if the problems were not necessarily fault.
In any case, within two weeks, Hispania will be the first of two races home with Virgin as a goal to beat, something that today is not impossible, as it was demonstrated in the good classification of Vitantonio Liuzzi yesterday same.

GP2 Asia Series 2011 Imola: Romain Grosjean takes pole

Romain Grosjean has taken the pole for the weekend of Imola in the GP2 Asia Series 2011. Before the weekend that will close the event, the French driver of DAMS has finished ahead of Sam Bird, which was already the fastest in free practice.
In the second row are to Michael Herck, who have mentioned more than once is a living example of a driver considered to be slow and no future that slowly makes its way in the category, without being in the team that his father built for him. After the pilot of Coloni, Jules Bianchi with ART.
Bad luck in general for components Spanish GP2, with Giedo van der Garde, Barwa Addax, as the best pilot of a Spanish team. The others are between the 20th and 25th position. Bad result for Racing Engineering, therefore, that came with many illusions.
But despite these illusions, which also had Dani Clos, Catalan has not been passed in the 20th position. A pity, since that complicates it the careers of tomorrow and last. What it will be interesting will be the fight for the title between Grosjean and Bianchi, which are separated by colons.

It is curious Bayne has earned in his first participation, which is what just happened, obviously when opened the race. There, which won do in his first participation. Thus, without removing excessive credit to the first winner of the Daytona 500, Bayne is the only driver to win in his first participation in modern times.

There are also other information which is not only Bayne is rookie, but the race yesterday was his second participation in the series. It is brutal win in your second career, but even more do so in an event of the relevance of the Daytona 500. Coincidence? More luck than anyone else? Do not believe, the truth. Also missed the last sessions of practices.

Now, already more relaxed after the race and to publicize the winner, we will be preparing the summary of the Daytona 500.

As for the beginners, Esteban Gutierrez and Nathanael Berthoin have given very good sensations, topping the ninth and tenth respectively, ahead of pilots as Sam Bird or Oliver Turvey. If they still could reach the European season with very good level.

In spite of this, the session has not been empty of incidents, since that Mikhail Aleshin has been penalised three positions for having crossed the finish line twice after completing the qualifying session. In addition, Fairuz Fauzy has been relegated to the tail of grilled by a touch with Cecotto.

The first race of the season, and this ultimately will be held at noon two (Spanish hour), while the "sprint" race is reserved for Saturday. Hopefully tomorrow see a good result for Dani Clos, but above all, an interesting career. The protagonists at the moment, are suitable.
