Sentry Pro Reapplied After Bath

Back to normal ... Malaysian GP - UPDATE (04/13/1911)


Malaysia did not bring extra rain or on a Saturday or Sunday. Deprived us what is true can experience some great surprises, but also avoided the often unpleasant surprises and rain chaos. Admittedly, that even without the rain was a mess. DRS and KERS (if running) seem to fulfill their roles. To the extent that the previously rare overtaking maneuvers are shown often in reruns (and sometimes even they are not shown), as is happening simultaneously in different parts of the track. It's all in conjunction with the new, rapidly depleting Pirelli makes the race in Malaysia was in spite of all their entertainment value a bit chaotic. I must admit that the action was very much (if so this is a priority - the organizers should be congratulated), but it also led to a situation in which the viewer may feel a bit lost. With a television, live timing and Twitter, are not always known with someone who fights for position and at what stage of the race we are (I am thinking of the strategic and tire issues.)


Relation of the race, which I managed to write soon after the completion of the entire GP is TU (after English). And now let me focus on its traditional summaries linked the distribution of prizes.

Renault
Race: HEI 1-0 PIE
Result: 1-1 HEI PIE


And much of the national ( global?) enthusiasm new Petrov. Three races without the possibility of error exceeded the small Vitaly, so the error occurred. But before this happened, both Renault passed atomic losses (could have any special equipment or other patent? Always starts well, and not just this year). Heidfeld ahead of Hamilton, and Petrov (probably to the delight of some groups) found himself in front of his old friend Alonso. Then, however, was not so rosy in the execution of a Russian. Alonso's vision for the third time behind the clear speszyła Petrova, he quickly slid off the roadway, politely giving way. Later, Vitaly shoulder visited several times, to finally make a jump, which in a few F1 (I watched Mark Webber flight from last year?) And tear off the steering wheel. Remarkable achievement!
Heidfeld meanwhile was riding as a good old Heidfeld, a German - orderly, quietly, with precision craftsmanship, but without flash. Hamilton on the straight-ahead with DRSu was a good maneuver and proved only that technical innovations are working, and McLaren can be overcome.


one word after the instantaneous zamieszeniach, all at Renault returned to the state and each output again takes its proper place. A car once again confirms that it is decent and can, with luck, mix in the field.

Mercedes
Race: MSC 1-0 ROS
Result: 1-1 MSC ROS


Mercedes actually in the GP was not. Knockin guys out there with the top ten in qualifying and training and the race. What is something gained, then lost again. Rosberg in total do not remember the race, but about its disposal the best (worst?) Indicates that it has been duplicated. Michael was in slightly better shape, but do not kid yourself - do not want to see such Schumacher Schumi ... therefore, fought bravely with Kobayashi and Alguersuarim, tapping at the end of the bulleted points and winning the first of the season.
Rosberg is notorious in the meantime, that poor przyprawił Paul di Resta of dizziness and exhaustion. As acknowledged by a small Paul: I do not know how many times I overtook Rosberg. Every time I came back from the pits onto the track, I was beside him, and it seems to me that overtook him four times. It was quite confusing. It sounds stupid, but I did not know where I am.

Oh, so it did not look like ... the gentlemen of the Mercedes is still haunted by that I have and just be faster, and then again something did not go. I know this is only the second race of the season, but it seems that Mercedes is waiting replay of last year. I suspect that this is not a gentlemen from Stuttgart expected, buying team. Finally bought the team championship, led by the great Ross Brawn, composed of Soon came the most successful driver in history, and the young great talent - a mixture of seemingly perfect. More than a year has passed and we still watch the masters instead of the shadows, promising that it will remember how to win. Not really believe that they were this year able to turn into a fight (well ... maybe something will give advice mess), but still smolders in me naive hope that Michael is awake, and Rosbergowi finally play the anthem on the podium, which the boy has not yet live to see, but which definitely deserves.

Fortunately good mood did not leave the men from the Mercedes, so the boys (and as you can see in the picture above), do not spare a friendly gesture and kind words. However, since it seems a lot, you may need to seek outside help ...? Small doping has not harmed anyone ...



Red Bull
Race: 1-0 WEB VET
Result: 2-0 WEB VET


Two wins and enough! I was promised (actually I was promised!) That this season will be even more fascinating than the previous one. And how is this to be, if only one wins? Hope you can look out a few things: (a) properly broken Red Bullowy KERS eventually someone will overtake Vettel, (b), Webber (if other teams fail) will remember that he can defeat Sebastian (after the Malaysian training was faster), ( c) other teams podgonią (in the context of China peek shyly at McLaren, in the context of later in the season - also at Ferrari), (d) Adrian Newey has not mastered the art of building durable cars and RB7 will eventually spoil, (e) Sebastian Vettel remember their frolics, and starts to break (I know, difficult matter, when one goes the front and one does not need to overtake, but it also creates some duplication of opportunities ....)

For the time being in the paddock have already seen some people conspirative up against Sebastian. Maybe something will come of this, when the largest will join forces ...?





As to the inevitable finger (which was completed last Sunday truly papal vel. royal gesture of greeting) to confine myself to quoting a comment Twitterowego friend: I'm a big fan of Sebastian - driver. But if you come to Silverstone with the finger that I can break it to him.
I am too (especially since apparently divides his finger)!


Curiosity: Sebastian stylist was recently interviewed by Michael Schumacher:


McLaren
Race: BUT HAM 1-0
Result: 1-1 HAM BUT


Everyone always wants to be the smartest. But there are moments when a saying I did not speak ...? does not make any pleasure. It is for me just a moment ... pre-season in their joyful forecasts and predictions I wrote that Lewis will throw the proverbial toy pram as soon as things go his way, because it tends to show moods in such circumstances. And I'm very sorry that this is already in the second race of the season. It is well known that I like Hamilton - the driver is an exciting, fast, aggressive - the quintessence of the best of everything. Prone to losing their heads in the important moments, but annoying for the most loyal fans, are part of his personality and amuse myself. Skills presented on the track makes the turn that turns a blind eye to the stellar part of his personality, which I personally do not respond. There are, however, Lewis' behavior, which neither did not approve of, nor I can be silent. One of them is his behavior after the Malaysian GP. Hamilton drove a great qualification, but the race was not so good ... at the start he gave up Heidfeldowi pass, and later had problems with a care of the tires. Heidfeld passed him as the wagon a second time, and even Alonso would have done it without DRSu if it had a bit more patience. In a word, Lewis did not go a good race - it certainly was not what he expected the race, and after passing the finish line the entire blame for the failure of the door of the team, calling the result shocking and explaining: It was a terrible race. I started second, finished eighth I had four pit stops, and the tires do not withstand for long. I left earlier than others, when I could ride a few laps. Then I assumed wrong tire. I had a hard rather than soft tires. During the last stint I had the old hard tires that do not withstand and I had to change. It was a very bad strategy, but I can not help it.

And this is very bad behavior of Lewis. Already imagine the uproar in the British media, though it dropped Fernando Alonso all the blame on the team for failure. It would crybaby, lingerer and everything else, what is the worst. F1 is a team sport - winning or losing together. Perhaps the team made a mistake, but such behavior is not fitting leaderowi team and reigning world champion. Mark Webber does not tell that Red Bull will not bring him running KERS, which (perhaps) had a worse start than it could have, but then gave up ahead of Massa. Petrov is not dependent upon impaired car, which as a result of the long jump dropped handlebars. Alonso blames team for the dead rear wing, which forced him to fight Lewis in the corners (instead of distance) and led to a costly collision. Massa not crying over the nut, which extended his pit stop, and impossible to fight for the podium. Each of these drivers, yes, mention these flaws as a (partial) reason for failure, but no one says explicitly that he lost because he broke team race. Lewis Hamilton is without a doubt a great driver, but he can not lose, nohow, which shows unfortunately not the first time. I hope that this year no longer provide me with reasons to repeat: and not told ...?.

Lewis did not adequately took care of the tires - especially gave him the marks are hard, yet he used in qualifying, when he rode the rest of the bid already on the soft. Hence, no new tires hard at the end of the race and the resulting problems. As for the bad Lewis's strategy, it was (compared with other drivers) a standard and basically the same strategy as Jenson Button (on the pit stops going down one after another, the more wheels). Jenson, however, knew how to take care of the tires, but Lewis did not work out.

Exactly ... Button back to us on Sunday to the roots (and Renault), or his famous silky smooth styles (aggressive, irregular fighting proved to be as yet a single freak), took care of the tire well, pit stops took place when it should be and gave a little the powyprzedzać early in the final analysis, he laughed the most.

Ferrari
Race: MAS ALO 0-1
Result: 0-2 MAS ALO


Ferrari still have not resolved their problems and is still looking for answers to the question of why a lack of downforce. The situation is so stupid, that everybody knows what is wrong, but one not quite know how to answer the question why and how to fix it. So one million test solutions in training, zajeżdżając car to death, but have not found a proper rhythm of the qualification, so they can not continue to do so.
Plus is that in terms of race pace 150 ° Italia looks much better. It is a pity therefore that the stupid reasons, both drivers lost their chance to fight for the podium (although they both probably would be on him, despite mikrego growth, did not fit, but one that could, after a fierce internecine battle.)
Felipe on Sunday was closer to Fernando, which is no surprise - in Malaysia, Massa always fall out well in comparison with the partners in the team. It should be noted Massa overtaking maneuvers and aggressive defending positions. This year's Felipe is much better than his last year's version. Not the first in my life problems with a nut at one of the pit stops a little But his race and made it difficult to continue zesłały position than probably expected. Something Felipe nuts are not conducive to ...
Fernando scored again a bad start - I do not believe once again that he was being przyblokował. Too often it is that Alonso is przyblokowanym, that it was a coincidence. In so it's silly that the replays you can see that Alonso starts well, but the subsequent peeling adequate track broken, which notoriously loses at the start ...

Fortunately, however, does not belong to Fernando spuszczających drivers head, so and on Sunday took the fight. DRS, unfortunately, refused to obey, so the fight for the podium with Hamilton was more difficult than one might expect, and ended with a collision, the damaged wing, and the next exit to the pit stop. I know that many people say that it was a stupid mistake Alonso - it was not possible to hide, but it just can not have pretensions to it. Not only me, but Stefano Domenicali, who asked about it, whether the blame Alonso admitted: I can not call it so that if you try to overtake, when the difference in speed is considerable. I like his driving style is fantastic.

Hamilton reportedly changed their driving line for more than a prescribed time (personally I did not notice), so perhaps Alonso got mad, saying that it needs to rapidly perform a maneuver that Lewis did not have time to react. Perhaps yes, perhaps simply miscalculated the difference in the speeds of both cars. In fact, his front wing caught of Hamilton, and buried their chances this podium.

Comparing the results Massa and Alonso in this race: Felipe though clearly improved compared to last year, it still deviates significantly from Fernando (not only in terms of qualifying pace.) In both Australia and Malaysia Felipe was on the first lap from Alonso ... he finished the race in Australia for the Spaniard. In Malaysia, would be similar, if not for a collision with Hamilton and Alonso's forcible stop. And this was close to Massa for Alonso has landed. Fernando slid into the pit stop 10 laps before the end of and left far behind Massa, and crossed the finish line a fraction of a second Brazilian. I know that Massa did not feel then need to chasing anyone, because I had no chance, and Alonso (as is its wont) do not forgive. The impression, however, remains ... Felipe still faces a lot of work to do, if he wants to keep the seat ...

call me biased, but I admit the point Alonso, who, despite another poor start and already four exits to the pit lane finished just 0.3 seconds for Massa (advance of receiving a controversial penalty. And even if you add 20 seconds and so you can see who was faster.)

side note: something that dawned on me in the head when Felipe ahead of Webber. Since I watched the famous movie with the roller coaster Ferrari I can not help feeling that Felipe each overtaking maneuver (or just during acceleration) is calling ajajajaj!.


Both Hamilton and Alonso after the race had been called on the carpet and punished for their Harc - everyone got a free extra 20 seconds. Therefore, Lewis dropped to eighth position Fernando was a at 6



Everyone is still talking about increasing the spectacular racing, to allow passing ... introduces the KERSy and other trembles. These seem to work, but there is no denying that these are artificial solutions. And then there are two great drivers who want to (or rather must) to settle the matter without all those innovations. No facilities have not discouraged and are fighting to the bitter end. Perhaps Hamilton running track has changed more than once (a year ago that got a warning, something like it again this year already care has been his punishment), but do not exaggerate - it was no big deal. Alonso caused the collision - you can not hide, but nothing that was not gained, or even lost. I understand the penalties, if any of them as a result of these actions ahead of someone, but they both just missed out. What I saw, it was great, uniform and fierce struggle between two very good drivers completed an unfortunate racing incident many others. Is this fight is not nicer to the eye and more than a mere emotion instigating passing on a straight line when you press a button? This is why I consider it very unfair to penalize them for something to which everyone aspires really (after all, the idea is to pre-empt more!) and find out what everyone wants to watch.
also formed a very dangerous precedent: Judges should be consistent throughout the season. So it appears that they should now look at everyone, even the smallest incident, because I can, however, someone should be punished ...? We all know that this will never happen. Therefore no longer see the drivers, teams and the heads of ordinary fans in the future using this example, to challenge the decision of the stewards of nieukaraniu there a driver for the incident.

Prize. Rob Smedley to talk radio wanders into the hands of Sebastian Vettel and his engineer, Rocky and Fernando Alonso.
On Saturday, we heard a lot of talk radio transmissions, all revolved around the same: Keep your tires ! What tires X is a driver in front of me / follow me? Ciśnij the most you can.
therefore admit Sebastian reward for his admirable curiosity. The answer to the question you want me to use KERS or not? the content No, no. Do not use the KERS Sebastian was because for so ambiguous that the poor had to make sure that 100% would have a clear idea what you need from him, asking a few laps later: Could you repeat what the KERS? . This led A. and me to the conclusion that maybe the Red Bull uses encrypted messages, saying something opposite than they have in mind (Do not use the KERS = use KERS u). Another possibility is that the Red Bullowy slang is based on the principles of mathematics, where two minuses give a plus. Therefore, Sebastian might be confused, considering that NO, NO results in a message with your KERS all ok [two drawbacks: DO NOT give the time and plus, that IS OK].
second (equivalent) prize goes into the hands of Fernando Alonso for the stoic calm with which the received view of its engineer, assuring him that after all the pressure, so what's all the fuss ... Justification: firstly used to be the opposite - Andrea Stella was an oasis of peace and Fernando Alonso volcano of emotions, and here a surprise - Fernando-stoic! Secondly, however, is a bad champion Fernando talk radio-style and give it to me all the peace of mind! Do not you see that I'm doing what I can! . And thirdly (which connects to the second) transmission Alonso sounded like an attempt to spławienia persistent and boring colleague from the sandbox, which endeared me greatly ...



Wisdom of life by Andrzej Borowczyk ... there were a few. First, the ability to distinguish Andrew in the running two threads simultaneously. Yes, Andrew is doing it often but not always as smoothly as during a training session: So please state the point is that ... and the state screens dad ... and Jenson Button to return to the previous questions ... this is obviously not the dad Jenson Button but Mark Webber ... so just like I said before ... another weld, they are very alike. See It!
Another text worth the memories Andrew, were his comments on the unfinished steering Petrov. Andrew insists that just such a failure was the cause of the accident, which killed Ayrton Senna. This of course, is very sublime and increases the drama of the incident with Petrov, but ... cracked handlebar is just one of the hypotheses on the causes of this tragic accident. Nobody ever proved, but, well ... is well known that Andrew knows things for other available (for example, already famous imagining what is going on in the mind of the driver).

Concluding remarks: applause for Paul di Resty for another spot and have words of praise for the Sauber Kobayashi, who ran the race in two pit stops (this time using the legal wing).

words of appreciation for Nick Heidfeld for the message for Robert Kubica:

Did you see? I have your logo on the front of the helmet and the Polish flag on the side. I wanted you to see and know that I think about you. I would like your fans see that you are part of F1 and this team.
This third place is also yours! During the race I thought a lot about you. When I crossed the finish line, came over me great happiness. I know that you think now: "Lotus Renault built this year such a great car. I want as soon as possible to go back and prosecute him. " You can achieve this, I wish you well, good luck during rehabilitation. Quickly back to health!


No, please ... Nick once again proves that he has feelings!
