* won someone else ;-)
First, I invite you to read my objective (yeah, yeah!) Relationship with the race, which is located HERE (after English).
After the race I am back in the dot - on the one hand wonder, on the other - of doubt and uncertainty (and not just because the Ferrari has once again not popisało). At first glance, the race looked great: we had lots of overtaking, the fight on the track and pit lane (not necessarily intended). Again there was no rain, and Bernd Mayländer still unemployed. It thus appears that even without the participation of force majeure (torrential rain) and random cases (car safety) might be an interesting race. It would therefore commend the FIA \u200b\u200bfor the introduction of the DRS and KERS, which is another race in a row, fulfilling their role ułatwiacza overtaking. Pirelli tire manufacturers also should be congratulated for putting the tires on so unstable to allow teamom choosing different strategies (2-3 pit stops), which translates in practice to the visual attractiveness of the race. But here also raises a problem. With all the Chinese Grand Prix emotional qualities and its pure entertainment, there is still a shadow of doubt that F1 is a bit too artificial. We have seen the end of an awful lot of overtaking, which at first glance were very pleasant to watch. After a moment's reflection, however, there is reflection, which tells me to put a question mark over the quality of these battles. One must note that the vast majority of anticipation had fresher tires than the driver being overtaken by them. If you join this opportunity to take advantage of moving the rear wing and KERS, overlooks the fact that most games were decided even before they began. Fighting with tires Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso had virtually no chance against the runaway, equipped with new tires Webber, Rosberg and Hamilton. Of course, one could argue that the decisive factor here was, therefore, a strategy - Ferrari has chosen (probably) wrong, so that drivers sentenced to be devoured, while McLaren made the correct choice, so that Lewis Hamilton won the race. This will be probably a good argument, but it will not change the image of practical things - a level of fighting, in which the driver of the defender and the attacker have the same opportunities were very few. After Malaysia I had the impression that the boundary between entertainment (lots of action) and chaos ( God, what is happening and what's going on? ) was exceeded. In China, it was better because as soon be able to figure out who chose what strategy and who is on the gain and who loses. Unfortunately, the track still has a slight chaos, and overtaking, though pleasing to the eye, is a bit artificial. Tires alone already provide (as was evident on Sunday) a lot of possibilities (not adjusted) and probably fight obeszlibyśmy calmly and without KERS DRSu who still think the artificial solution, although I still restrains himself before the court ;-). Because as I wrote a week ago - the fight against Hamilton, with Alonso was fascinating without all the magic buttons. Differences alone can tires in China and so probably would allow stoczenie fights that we saw, without additional facilities in the form of technical innovations. Thus, although still I have no doubt, one thing is certain - if you stop to analyze the meaning of life and KERS systems, DRS, and so I will not philosophize over the legitimacy of their entry, the race will have to be considered successful. Finally, well I played with him.
Renault
Race: PET 1-0 HEI
Result: 2-1 PET HEI
After two podiums came time to drop in the middle rate. Renault have opted to 2-foot, which in China proved to be worse. However, and regardless of the strategy, the team did not shine. Nick Heidfeld had poor skills, and the race of his role was limited to being a moving obstacle, the release for a while faster drivers. Something like mirrored the car - as if Nick was in before someone, but the fight did not take any more, and only slowing down for a while, allowing another podgonienie. Vitaly had problems in qualifying, through which he could not (despite the promotion) to start in Q3. Then the race was also a bit sluggish. Kind of struggled, but somehow without conviction. Not made Fernando Alonso no trouble and did not perform any memorable flight. Somewhere at the end decided to overtake his team (which is overtaking the role definitely liked the), which nearly landed both on the side ... thankfully been without major sensation. So much for the delight of the Renault as the third (after the Red Bull and McLaren) force in F1.
Mercedes
Race: ROS 1-0 MSC
Race: ROS 1-0 MSC
Result: 2-1 MSC ROS
Nico again had no sympathy for Michael. I have to admit that somewhere deep inside me was breaking for a moment a ray of hope that he can finally win. The German national anthem is not one of my favorites, but let there ... would live, and even enjoyed his hearing, had the highest step of the podium stood Rosberg * . The early first pit stop allowed the inclusion of Nico after the first downhill leading to the pits. Could not keep him, however, to the end, especially that at one point Nico was told by an engineer panicked about the problems with the fuel, which had no chance jadącymi in the fight against the new tire Webber and Button. Fortunately for him (which also is behind him), Massa was in even worse shape, so the risk has not created any. Nico petrol is not over, even if it did it would not be it and so nothing new (although the sensation - of course), and finally masters such slip occurred ...
Michael did not go again and again in qualifying goodbye us in Q2. In the race but it was better, and Michael even won some little points. On the occasion of the company decided to Fernando Alonso reminisce the good old days. So first we had a repeat of Imola in 2006, when he fiercely attacked Schumiego Alonso (with the difference that this time he broke forward at the end), but at the end of the race the boys powspominali Imola, this time from the year 2005, when Schumacher was goniącym . The result was the same as six years ago, that Michael could not be found before Fernando. The difference in the case of comparisons of both casual duels with old history lies in the fact that in China the struggle was fought not for victory (as was the case in the San Marino Grand Prix from 2005 to 2006), but for places 7-8. Oh, not as it should look like boys ... but - both pluses.
* I'm not a big fan of Rosberg, but it's very good and talented driver. After so many years, a decent ride in F1 just to win deserved. And not because of seniority, but the skills and potential.
Red Bull
Red Bull
Race: WEB VET 1-0
Result: 2-1 WEB VET
Red Bull is still not solved problems with KERS, which is so good, it gives opponents a chance to get in a fight. And so, having a monopoly on pole position, Vettel was on the grid as soon overtaken by both McLarens. Since, however, still has the fastest car, so I just took the lead (although this has helped him greatly Jenson Button). Fortunately * Red Bull for the audience chose the wrong tactics for Vettel, changing the tires to him only twice, so that they were sufficiently damaged to allow coverage of Lewis Hamilton for 4 laps before the end.
Mark had problems with electronics in the third train, which was then affected his performance in qualifying. Team definitely did not help, choosing the wrong (hard) tires on Webber's last stint in Q1, which has not been promoted more sensational. Plus this was the one that saved Mark unused sets of tires for the race and had a day Good big strategic advantage. Three pit stops, the fastest car, new tires - all this meant that Webber quietly but effectively moved forward, passing the old warring rivals tires properly without problem, even without the help of KERS to finally land on the podium.
secret of success? Before the race Mark glanced in the mirror, which shows how a person perceives herself staring. Who saw that he saw, he believed, and went.
After the race Mark could not even hide Sebastian's satisfaction with the defeat, saying resolutely at the conference: Congratulations to Lewis. Well, that someone in the end ... of course Seb rides on the same team as me and had an amazing series, but all we are here to fight for victory.
here for a moment Mark realized that the bosses might not appeal to such a statement, so he added: pity that McLaren won. Then again, the subconscious took over: Sebastian We can not allow too much away, so it was a good day for racing.
continuous problems afflict only one car - the Mark (KERS problems with Sebastian and radio do not count as KERS is a curse if the entire Red Bull, and the radio, and so did not affect the outcome of the race) make rumors about faworyzacji Vettel once again appear. While this is an open secret that Vettel is the beloved son of the team behind the whole situation may prove to be interesting when we remember last season: Sebastian then this car is still spoiled (at least at the beginning of the year), and publications: (a) demanded, therefore, to bring Webber, (b) and so knew that Webber is the oppressed.
* Aside from my (well known), sympathy and antipathy, for the sake of a fierce fight for the championship it is important to win more than one driver, which will provide a more fierce battle for the title. Already the sole point of view (and I have welcomed the audience in mind) a good thing that Sebastian did not win the third consecutive time this season.
McLaren
Race: HAM 1-0 BUT
Result: 2-1 HAM BUT
race Lewis was nothing of Hitchcock's first - in the form of an earthquake flooded the engine and the car is lodged in the final seconds, and then increasing the voltage, that is great performance of a small lion and a good strategy, which allowed him to take the fight with Vettel, in which fortunately did not prevent Jenson Button. Just ahead of Jenson for about 20 laps before the end was the key to success, but also one of the best maneuvers of the day. This is the first reason that Jenson was a bit sleepy on Sunday prince and he did not dogoniłby Vettel, but Hamilton coped with Sebastian without any problems. The latter, because Lewis and Jenson had similar strategies, which means that the condition of their tires was more or less the same state, which were theoretically more difficult to advance than earlier by Hamilton ahead of Alonso, the majority of the maneuvers performed by Mark Webber and Alonso duel Schumacher. Hamilton spoke in favor of the fact that Jenson is his teammate, and after Redbullowych Turkish lessons in 2010 to better not to defend too vigorously against a colleague. Especially if you do not have a good day ...
Jenson ... it was one of those days ... in the beginning there were no signs of unhappiness. Jenson took the lead at the start. Then his team decided to change the tires, and Jenson decided to fiddle with buttons on the steering wheel. As he confessed because he wanted to press the corresponding button, which always pushes the pit stop. First wrong buttons, and then the panic button is mistaken for a suitable position. Fortunately, before not mistaken flight numbers / dates / track / racing and came to the GP due to diverting over us with their helplessness. On the occasion of all the confusion contributed to a delay of one lap pit stop Lewis, which fortunately for the team not affected the results. Later, Button drove as far as decent, but a little sleepy - maybe looking for more buttons? Ahead of such Massa, but he could not defend themselves against Webber. This was not just a day Jenson. It happens.
Ferrari
Race: MAS ALO 1-0
Result: 2-1 MAS ALO
is not good. Ferrari can not find the tempo (somewhere, apparently after tests zapodziało) and do not even know where to start. Fernando spent the Friday workout to try out some news and aerodynamic testing. Subsequent problems with the hydraulic system, in turn, meant that he had no time to find the settings of the car by what he had to borrow a set Felipe. This probably does not serve him because Fernando on Sunday did not go - the whole race was actually slower than Massa, which until now he'd be extremely rare. It just was not his day, to which he confessed, stating that he had the best weekend in my life. Yes - you can not deny it.
team decided to make two pit stops. At first everything looked good, and Felipe for a long time remained in second place (or within the limits of the podium) and rode at a speed of roughly Vettel, the first time. But then he began to lose pace and was no longer able to defend itself against a faster, attacking the driver, falling to sixth place.
again Alonso was faster on Saturday, ahead of Massa in qualifying and on Sunday again lost out to Felipe start. By finding out the front, Felipe could leave after the first tire, and therefore was in a better position after the first pit stop (after the return was properly before him a clear track.) Alonso meanwhile, went to Schumacher by at not only lost a lot of time, but also destroyed the tires excessively. So when Massa had a comparable rate to Vettel, Alonso clearly toiled relentlessly.
interesting that Ferrari decided not to change the strategy and call Alonso into the pits three times. Given the time-consuming and debilitating battle with Schumacher tires, three tire changes might improve his situation, and certainly few would have damaged ...
On the plus must include a duel with Schumacher and Alonso finished quite clever in advance.

130R little chutzpah to be missing, but maneuver and so worthy of attention. I dare to slight sentiment ...
After the race the team zapanowały at least divided sentiment Massa enjoyed the great race, saying that the car matched the best on Sunday, just the strategy did not allow him to struggle for a higher position. Meanwhile, Alonso admitted that the car is simply too slow and no other strategy would not give him a better place.
Overall Ferrari is still the situation does not look good. Bolidowi lack of downforce, and the team still does not know what to do to increase it. Data from the wind tunnel did not overlap with the results on the track, so light in the tunnel is not very visible. It is true that the team looks to improve, but bosses notes that one should not expect miracles, because a step forward in Turkey (if indeed any) will definitely not be determined. Add to this that the competition will not wait for the next weeks to catch up Ferrari graciously, but will rather be rushed to the front. Red Bull, and so has a great advantage, McLaren showed that in a short time can do a lot hustle, Mercedes also greatly accelerated. In the face of this development and taking into account very optimistic statements by members of the team, the position of the Ferrari does not look rosy.
upside is certainly the attitude of Felipe Massa, who this season probably is reborn. Aggressively attacking and also aggressively defends its position. Fernando
should devote the next three weeks on the criminal tutoring starts. I should be very clear (but it is VERY!) Applied to them! Alonso has never been the highly competing players, but that's what he's doing lately, calling for vengeance. I am at least disappointed.
The team is apparently so bad that the drivers themselves must make the cars (which may explain a poor lap Alonso ?)...
They can not afford even a camera that could be better (in the act of desperation) to photograph secret documents of Red Bull, as did probably McLaren that the spying has already experienced.
thus remains only to further madness secret conspiracies against the common enemies ...

Prize. Rob Smedley radio interview for this week's three winners, who share one feature - panic (to a lesser or greater extent):
1) Engineer Nico Rosberg for the desperate Fuel is critical! - because the engineer must ensure the guardian of the nerves of his ward and it was rather reassuring, rather than raise the alarm.
2) Rocky (engineer Sebastian Vettel) for equally desperate: I can not hear you! You must stay out! I can not hear you! - I work with wayward Sebastian is certainly not simple, and as yet no connectivity issues at all it's not envy. Why not at least thanks to Sebastian spared us his (?) That's what I'm talking about! (or rather, taking into account the outcome of the clash of ambitions: That's NOT what I'm talking about! ).
3) Andy Latham (Lewis Hamilton's race engineer) and his driver - a textbook example of an ideal of interpersonal communication: AL: He asked Lewis about taking care of Tyre, suggesting that ahead of Vettel will be possible later. LH: He throws a wild chase immediately behind Vettel.
Not as well understood.
Andrzej Borowczyk did not show off again and again did not provide us any immortal quotes. Lest there: we had a nice driver, extremely difficult races, young (and not only) lady, unknown to men, which must be adequately describe vividly ( the gentleman with the mustache sumiastym ) and be sure to provide viewers and one of the old fox, he was promoted to the position in which Fernando Alonso (until now, the feature most often served as Michael Schumacher. But it seems that he lost to a colleague and if not, then we fight on Sunday, two old foxes).
... that is all normal, but without the fireworks.
decided to grant since then a few more awards:
lingerer weekend is Felipe Massa to be dependent upon a bad strategy, which reportedly denied him a good result. Perhaps, but let's face it - the car is simply a free, Fernando, unfortunately, is right. If Ferrari does not take a grip it and the best strategies do not help them.
Fight weekend: Jenson Button but ahead of Lewis Hamilton was the most crucial for the final result, but also quite difficult because of the same strategies, and although the drivers Mark Webber ahead of almost all the drivers what they were on the track together with each other Thus, it is me (totally objectively, of course) I admit prize Fernando Alonso and Michael Schumacher for a total of perhaps three duels, more or less fierce, but it is how sentimental.
Ciapa weekend: Jenson - forward!
