Three days passed, the first training tomorrow offside street circuit in Monaco, is a sign that it is high time for a summary of the English Grand Prix. Full report of what has happened on the track to read here (this time on the main page F1 Girls Like Too, where I hope to host more often now.)
Pirelli proved this weekend something seemingly impossible - Even boring races so far may become interesting, and all thanks to the tires. DRS, KERS - nay, were in use, but had little effect on the amount of overtaking (particularly those held not only in a designated area for that.) Of course, the fact remains that most of the maneuvers was possible mainly due to the difference in the condition of tires (or in different types of used tires as the tires were hard for about 2 seconds slower per lap on the soft tires), and often resembled already hated by many passing, but you grant - the race was interesting. In addition to well-known from this year's madness on the track (although to a lesser extent than in previous races), once again saw the familiar images of the best years of F1 - the fight for every inch, and the great unknown: overtaking or not? he succeeds or not? Half of the fans again could therefore squeeze our fingers crossed for Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel chasing, hoping that they do it better in the second half - that a wishing Sebastian Vettel, however, replied to the attack. After three races, in which the outcome of this fight could have been predicted before began in earnest, and finally was given to us to remind ourselves what it is unknown how exciting the final result.
Renault
Race: HEI 1-0 PET
I promise this will never undermine the legitimacy username Quick Nick. Heidfeld is really fast - if not on the track, at least in terms of pace from escaping from a burning car. I was impressed with the speed and grace with which escaped from the car.
Although fire prevented him from taking part in qualifying (which resulted in 24th starting field), but because there is this evil something good did not work out, so Nick has saved at least the key tires this weekend. And since qualification slowly cease to count, so I start with the end did not prevent him from reaching the finish line in eighth place I must admit - Heidfeld was almost always as boring and predictable. Do not share uświadczyliśmy great overtaking its execution, or desperate, or extremely daring attacks. None of these things - Nick slowly, without a flash, but how effectively stuck to the front to ultimately overtake his team-mate at 3 places. Result pretty good, considering that it started 18 places behind him, and this time Petrova did not meet any misfortune (accidents, failures, plagues of Egypt), which could explain the poor performance. Sometimes it is simply that even a team leader samozwańczemu race does not go ...
Mercedes
Race: MSC 1-0 ROS
When the environment sends you on an unplanned by you retire, the best response is a good race. It is true that it was not yet a race, about which Michael dreams, his fans and Ross Brawn. Schumacher probably still can not say that derives pleasure from racing, but ... it was definitely the best race season in the execution of Michael, who also arrived at the end of the term before Rosberg. And it's not because I did not finish the race Rosberg. None of these things - both of whom were at the finish, and while Nico had to fight and equally defunct DRSem malfunctioning radio, and so that is a fact - Nico started the race three positions before Schumacher arrived on the run, one position behind him.
Red Bull
Race: 1-0 WEB VET
It was supposed to be this race ... The race, in which Webber will be reborn and will fight with Sebastian. Finally, where as where, but in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwinning the pole position in qualifying almost always take you in the first place to the finish. Place so perfect. Mark decided, however, be an exception to this rule. After the very best start (it is now, after Fernando Alonso, should be sent to the penalty from a difficult art tutor to the starting signal) nohow Webber was unable to keep pace with Vettel. At the end of the race began a frantic quest for Jenson Button in the hope ustrzelenia podium, but it's useless to passed, because the race is over. With the right-foot pit, and much better working in the Red Bull drive tires, Webber was able to jump without much problem Fernando Alonso to take fourth place and be the last niezdublowanym driver. For more unfortunately, he could not afford.
Sebastian ... with increasingly heavy heart I have to admit that the boy grows and develops as a driver. After the second pit stop Vettel coaster ride started in order to reduce losses to date, leading to Fernando Alonso, to the left of the alley after the second change of tires in second place. It appeared that overtaking Vettel knows (or rather pass, because he could count at this point, the race for fresh soft tires) and I do not have collide with anyone. At the end of the race turned out to be that Sebastian can keep your nerves in check when the last few laps bravely defended itself against the viciously attacking Lewis and did not commit a single error, which only waited Lulu. Yes ... it hurts (a finger still bothers), but Vettel drives this year, as befits a master. Hats off ...

One small problem - Sebastian could begin to enjoy in a less irritating manner. Finally gave up that's what I'm talking about and what ? He replaced it with a mixture of Fred Flintstone'ai Crazy Frog ... I never understood the German sense of humor ...
Even familiar big fan Vettel (yes - are these people in the world), commented sarcastically: Well really do not have to do ...
best commentary to how fast a car is small RB7 stats: 21 drivers completed the race. Only 4 of them have not been duplicated ...
McLaren
Race: HAM 1-0 BUT
Result: 4-1 HAM BUT
Lewis did his best and troił the end of the race to stay ahead of Vettel and scraped his nose victory. Failed, but Hamilton still remains the only driver at the moment, which however, is able to stand in the way Vettel in the pursuit of the next masterpiece.
Button after a terrible start (down from fifth position to 10th), again ventured to pit three feet (one less than a headlamp) and this time (unlike Turkey) won. Good car, good pit stops, good strategy and attention to tires in effect gave the third place at the finish line until 10th place, despite 65 laps earlier.
Ferrari
Race: 1-0 MAS ALO
first briefly about Massie: Felipe this weekend does not actually exist. In qualifying, lost nearly a full second to Fernando, a race like the AIW does not show off and on screen for longer reappear until the 58th lap, when, due to gearbox failure parked in the gravel.
Fernando scored, in turn, beautiful beginning of GP, would then fall with a roar from the summit. It started with a perfect lap in qualifying, which gave Alonso 4. on the grid - the place to which the Ferrari this weekend does nothing deserved. Fernando enjoyed the place as a little child, which further compounded the joy of losing on Saturday Vettel. Obściskiwany in an act of joy for Webber, Alonso had a clear problem - he did not know who actually won the pole position - but can he or Fernando. In the end it was the Spaniard's joy of the sky greater.
But returning to the mundane - the fact that Fernando is pleased with fourth place at the start, if he had just won the pole position for at least the most current form, says Ferrari ...
Then there was an amazing start - is one of those moments that will remember for a long time and which will be in the context of Alonso to say, when the driver has finished longer career. Martin Brundle also did not hide his delight:
Then Fernando took heroic action, keeping behind by two stinty (19 laps) much faster Red Bulls. Then he fought yet the podium, and then founded the hard tires ... Ferrari has a problem with them since the beginning - the lack of adequate downforce impossible for them to squeeze the tires as much and far worse lap times. When Alonso founded the first set of hard tires on the 29th lap, Vettel is his loss was about 20 seconds. Then he began to shoot at times worse about 2 seconds (per lap) from the top, making it easy to overtake Buttonowi today (still on the soft tires) and then (during the last round of pit stops) and Webber. Round before the end of Fernando Alonso has been mirrored by Sebastian Vettel, which means that for 35 laps (on the 29th lap of 65) his loss to race leader has risen from 20 seconds to 1.5 minutes. Huge difference, and the greater the fall, if we recall that even on the 19th lap Fernando took first place. Were of no avail so memorable take-offs and brave (and winning) duel with Webber in the pits. Managed to bring a moment of joy while thousands of fans at 80 arena.
In view of the disastrous start of the season, Ferrari decided to do purge in the technical department and release the former technical director Aldo Costa. Is it right not even dare to judge, but ... if one's job does not bring results, then that person should suffer the consequences. Ferrari while quite a few years built a very successful car (last won the constructors' championship in 2007-08, but first there were still remnants of the empire Ross Brawn and Rory Byrne, second - in 2008, the most dangerous rival - McLaren was stripped of points in the constructors' championship, a year later This same team was actually one of the driver - with all the sympathy for Heikki, this is not the driver of the highest quality - so there was great danger, though, and so a lot of points scored.) Take some steps so it was right, but only on condition that people will take the place of exempt better. On the other hand, every team needs stability to function properly and to grow, so firing workers whenever something goes wrong, it makes no sense. It's not the end sought is to find a scapegoat and show everyone something that we do, it's about to move in any direction. So if the Ferrari board has a bigger plan, and the last release are a step towards better performance, then the decision to dismiss Costa was right. If, however, have acted hastily, just to do something, no idea what's next, then soon to regret it.
Side Note: Fernando Alonso has decided that enough is enough wasteful of life in the Swiss tax haven, and decided to move back to his hometown of Oviedo (by, he said, to be closer family and friends). Therefore happy to pay (again, his own words) taxes - according to British calculations work only 80 million dollars. As he himself admitted: I'm not poor. Now I'm just a little less rich. Fernando derives pleasure from a minimum of weird things ...
Spain probably just zażegnała economic crisis and no longer needs to apply for funding from the European Union.
Mention should also be a brave Kovalainenie Heikki, who scored a historic performance in the colors of Lotus, the first time, drawing a team to Q2, where he also defeated the two Force India drivers and finished 15th place (we're talking about qualifications, under normal conditions, without ewenementów - Malaysian GP 2010 does not count). The race was no longer even the eighth, then crashed and everything went in vain ... The ambition, however, Heikki rozbuchała and brave Fin is already planning the best start in team history during the forthcoming Monaco Grand Prix.
Prize. Rob Smedley to talk radio this week Andrea Stella falls for his enigmatic: I have the impression that it was pretty good lap in qualifying. Yes ... it was pretty good lap.
Wisdom of Life Andrzej Borowczyk: Vettel had never won a race. The implication, of course - the race for the English Grand Prix. But I guess you can sometimes add to the people so czepialscy as I did not have anything to cling to, and I laugh.
lingerer weekend is Lewis Hamilton. First, for comments before the podium ceremony, with disbelief when told Vettel that the had such great pressure, that it was impossible to overtake him. Yes, Vettel's car has an incredible pressure, but Vettel drove a great race. There is therefore every reason to look for it in dociskach niewyprzedzenia etc. - Lewis had a faster car seats, but not ahead of Vettel, because Vettel is simply a very good driver. Secondly, for assurances that a few more laps and won the race: from what I've seen some nice Lewis last laps Vettel was sitting on the tail (in places very close), but could not overtake. So I dare say that, and 10 consecutive laps little to help. Thirdly, the accusation Schumacher missed that during the duplication of Vettel and Lewis przyblokował, making it difficult for him to chase Sebastian - because as I wrote above - Sebastian drove a great race and there is nothing to blame about why I could not overtake him ...
Fight weekend: is beyond the start of the implementation of Alonso, Fernando duel with Mark - as those on the track ...
... and in the pits.
Ciapa Weekend: engineer, who sometimes overcome with what has happened on the track, so do not even show us the accident, which excluded from the race with Heikki.
Meanwhile in Monaco is good ... one traditional and charitable playing ball ...
(Petrov apparently is not the best defender the world, but Fernando Alonso probably had something else to say on this topic)
... while others swim in the pool (planned or not).

Some people have prepared well for this weekend's new (and what złote!!) Helmets, which the post-season are to be auctioned for charity (hopefully at the finish were ozłoceni ;-)):
a word a lot is already happening is good and is a party:).

PS Changes in the color of the blog: I decided from now on put in the background of the flag of a country whose GP happens to take place (tomorrow so expect a flag of Monaco.) What is the background color to blue posts it is not accidental and it is easy to guess where it came from. If anyone knows and wants to show off knowledge, why blue - please write in comments / emails / on twitter / anywhere else you like, and I will solve the riddle of how simple the Monaco Grand Prix:).
