NOTE: be long, so I suggest to equip themselves with sandwiches and tea / coffee:).
And how can a man to please? Not ahead of the procession were boring, moaning and complaining! Shuffle a non-stop - too much happening and too much in the randomness! And so bad and so sick ... I'm still unconvinced of the group to a movable rear wing - of course, that bemoaned the negligible number of overtaking in the past years, but what has happened in Turkey, was another border crossing between overtaking facilitated and too easy. Półuliczny track in Australia prevented the full verification of the effectiveness of the DRS, which has not meant that we had a cornucopia of colors and overtaking. In Malaysia, it seemed that the FIA \u200b\u200bwas probably a middle ground. Turkey on the way to fully understand and optimize the rear wing seems to be falling into exaggeration. Course of action is a measure of what is not (the ones who talked with me during the race on Twitter confirm that I had big problems with finding the right moment to go for another cup of tea), so once again in terms of visual impressions I have no right to complain. But once again a significant part of the maneuvers was possible due to the difference in the condition of the tires and took place in turn 12, that is, where ended up overtaking zone. In a word, something I watched on Sunday the shape of the stigma of lazy drivers. God forbid I do not answer their bravery, skill and (at poniektórym) aggression! But you can not deny that the drivers are not too burned to overtaking in places where the DRSu could not take advantage. All the more sad that overtaking changed in Turkey passing and it was in vain to look for great attack, forcing mistakes and equally valiant innings. A pity, because it is the unknown (will be ahead or not?) Is the most exciting part of all fights. DRS provides us with so fun (and sometimes pain mind when trying to keep up with what is happening), but denies this very important component. In today's F1 (at least that which we saw in the first 4 races) almost always faster and overtake the slower hard to find cases of so-przeklinanego sometimes by some (but happy for others - depending on preference and liking) stuck one driver after another, slower . Fernando Alonso said it is true that the time wasted behind Nico Rosberg prevented him from pushing harder Sebastian Vettel, but (in comparison with similar situations a year ago) what it was for getting stuck ...? Barely seven laps - first 5 before Rosberg not going against Alonso overtook Webber, and then yet another 2 the same Fernando drew a beautiful Nico to the skin. While the losses may be costly, were nothing compared with the trains (especially those already proverbial - Trulli), what we saw in recent years.
race ran under the banner of tires on a hot track on Sunday, consuming a lot faster than on Saturday or Friday. Therefore, preserve as much fresh tires (along smoothly performed pit stops) proved to be crucial for the order to finish the

Renault
Race: HEI 1-0 PET
Result: 2-2 HEI PET
Renault promised fixes and fight with Ferrari, leading (from what I've seen) of some very enthusiastic Polish journalists to okrzyknięcia their third (after the Red Bull and McLaren) force F1. Drivers, yes - on Sunday ahead of one of the red dwarfs with Ferrari, but not because they were so quick, but rather because Ferrari likes to time his life difficult, and even a little Felipe does not always have his day. Renault drivers therefore promoted to the third part of qualifying in the number 2, which are praised them greatly, but race was not so happy. Particularly notorious Vitaly more hustle than exceptional beauty overtaking. Already on the second lap Petrov collided with Schumacher (for which the blame upon himself Michael!), And later decided to push off the track and his team, which Nick is extremely displeased. Not just him - one of the youngest Heads of teams, EB is from Sunday to head the first few gray hairs.
Mercedes
Race: ROS 1-0 MSC
Result: 3-1 MSC ROS
Nico started with P3 to the race and immediately ahead of Webber on the grid, finding the second position. Facilitated the life Vettel, but he gained little, eventually taking the fifth place for which he may so thank Felipe Massa (the right) and bad strategy McLaren (right about that, too.) Mercedes definitely improved (what really is grist to the mill of Red Bull), but the changes did little to stand on the podium.
Michael ... I felt on Sunday that it's not good old Schumi but his brother Ralf. The training was still good, and Michael was very close Rosberg (and was even quicker than him), but when it came down to it, Rosberg climbed to new heights, and Michael ... no. In the race, Schumacher looked clumsier, lost and desperate. Each round ahead of him as a wagon and nothing seemed to old tricks of intimidation and Schumiego push back from the track rivals. Contemporary in style youngster Buemi and Kobayashi have an ounce of respect for the champion. The collision early in the race, unfortunately dictated the course of the entire Grand Prix - Schumacher probably without the fight with Button and Rosberg for 5-6 place. Admission of guilt for the accident with Petrov after the race, only convinces me that Michael was something wrong at the weekend.
In view of this attitude of Germans appeared again rumors of a faster than expected transition to the (re-) retirement. Such rumors exacerbated Schumi himself, who stated that there is no pleasure from racing. This is indeed a problem, because it disappears main reason for the return of Schumacher's F1. In the end Schumi in 2006, as it were pushed into retirement by Ferrari to make way for Massa and Kimi. This development meant that part Racing was not in the life of Michael closed spontaneously and naturally, but it forced. Therefore, having the opportunity, Michael returned to F1. Now, however, the main reason for the return - the pleasure - it disappears. And it makes formulating the meaning of existence that Michael is disturbed. There will, therefore, rumors about who and when will replace Schumacher. Quite frankly, I do not like these rumors. It's kind of forcing the driver's decision that he should take. This reminds me of a family quarrel over how to divide the inherited assets in a situation where the owner is still alive. In addition, I think that Michael should be the end of the contract, which runs until the end of next season - early departure would mean an admission of error, and it is not yet as Michael, what we know.
It would be good only if Michael won a few races (a podium is not enough), so that something like this epilogue to achieve career. Even the next 10 terrible years in F1 does not stain the achievements of Michael Schumacher and he does not receive all the titles and records, but it can obliterate the memory of viewers those great achievements. Therefore, still naively (though less and less) I hope that Ross Brawn will give motorists a faster car, and Michael will use this - that these three (hopefully) additional years were valuable (just for him and for the spectators), and do not become unfortunate swan song. And, finally, that Michael could in good conscience really retire, feeling that it's time, because they want to, not because we choose for his team, the fans and finally inexorable biology (and the flying years).
Red Bull
Race: 1-0 WEB VET
Result: 3-1 WEB VET
must bend Caps from Red Bull for the incredible work they perform. Sebastian crashed car in the first practice (what I perceive as a sign of maturity, however incomplete Sebastian-driver. At the end of the rainy conditions did not have to push so hard), left the entire second workout, and mechanics, and so he prepared the car well enough to be easily won the pole position . For this by including only one lap and then sat in the garage - it's called confidence. In addition, RBR had the fastest pit stops on Sunday - Vettel spent in the alley, including about 5 seconds less than the most dangerous rival, RBR - Fernando Alonso. In the case where the differences in distances on the track between drivers will be smaller, and competition more fierce, is 5 seconds could prove crucial.
Both drivers saved in qualifying new tires for the race. If Vettel has done a big difference, but it was important for Webber, who for the last stint kept new tires. This allowed him to catch up and overtake the rider in the admittedly changed, but old tires, Alonso.
into the hands of Red Bull (and even more Vettel) is przepychanka behind their backs. Sebastian won 3 of the first 4 races, including the fourth AIW (niewygranym) stood on the podium. It is the only one who visited the podium many times. Beside him stood on it, Hamilton (x2), Button, Petrov, Heidfeld, Webber (x2) and Alonso. The conclusion is simple: Vettel is running out and behind his back chasing group receives each other points. Until you clarify itself one, two (and maybe three or four a year ago) strong opponents, who will regularly push Sebastian Vettel will be untouchable. For now, the biggest hope in Webberze, who, though far slower than Sebastian, has the same car, so in the face of domination RBR is the closest to quitting Vettel challenges.
McLaren
Race: HAM 1-0 BUT
It was not McLaren's day. one driver had a good strategy, but a bad pit stop, the second pit stops, and he may well (even got to them), but in insufficient quantities. McLaren decided to outwit all like a Ferrari in China and go to one stop less than the competition. Such a plan with Hamilton burned backfires when Lewis (in accordance with their inborn habits) decided to push up where there was no place to overtake at the start and Webber on the outside. The Tale of Lulu the same went too far, lost his position, and soon began to tire and finished the bulk of waste. As has already slid into the pits on the 9th lap, so he had zawitać there still 3-fold, so to be able to enjoy the end of the tires in better shape and take the fourth place. Jenson meanwhile, had to take care of the tire, which in the end is known, and gain a single pit rate of less. Unfortunately, in the middle of the race stuck behind Massa, and are not built adequate advantage over Hamilton and Rosberg, to be able to get away from them at the end of the race, the rivals had new tires, and Jenson - scuffed. Thus, in the final laps Button was a moving, but not places the barrier of resistance, which both Hamilton and Rosberg toured without much problem. Jenson as befits a gentleman forgot to say after the race a few words of criticism of the team. Later he completely lost his temper and he even wymsknęło very polite English word in F, when reporters asked him about it wisely, whether the current form RBR championship may be too over ...
Pros are the two guys for an exciting duel at the start of the race, which Jenson ( at a comparable stock tires) came out victorious. Jenson therefore keep his word and does not give a push to the role of driver # 2:).
Ferrari
Race: 1-0 MAS ALO
Result: 3-1 MAS ALO
It was one of those days when nothing comes to man. At least for Felipe. It started with the qualification, in which Massa had been in Q1 to use soft tires to get into Q2 (the most dangerous rivals have coped with the hard tires), which was not then the new soft tires. Then Massa failed to complete in Q3 of the time, but it did zapulsować that will be able to select any of the tires to start. Zaplusowało, but so what, if Massa had problems Three of the four pit stops (including his own fault - who is seen leaving the spinning wheel when the mechanics have to change them), and then helped himself in the good result of leaving off the track and losing position on the rides at the roadside. There's always something! The result - a tie: 0
Fernando ... why not watched the start! So far, Fernando still lost at the start, and I was receiving a palpitation of the heart. So I decided not to distress his poor nerves and turn after takeoff, the ready. And Fernando It worked the first time since I do not know when, at the start position is not lost and even gained. Then he rode very nicely - with the head, but also aggressively overtaking when needed. And that DRS finally acted without objections, so the problems do not have. Second position could not defend himself, because he rode the tip of the tires used (as opposed to the new tire Webber chasing him), but it's first podium of the season Ferrari fills a slight optimism. Ferrari still lose a lot of skills (although the gap has been reduced to RBR it is still great, but the loss to McLaren is not as huge as it was), but the race pace Italians have been quite right. Stefano Domenicali says the car is to be able to win the Canadian Grand Prix. May be not mistaken (though I admit that I would prefer that could be earlier). Fernando also said that the car will be competitive, and I will Fernando in terms of assessing the relative strengths of trust.
We only ask to practice pit stops because they are not the fastest ...
deserves a mention Kamui Kobayashi, who scored no time in qualifying and did not met the standards 107%, but I was graciously allowed to race. Kamui Peter Sauber has promised he'll get 1 point and kept his word. The combination of unused tires with a cool personality Kamuiego gave viewers a lot of satisfaction, and Sauber - a point:).
Prize. Rob Smedley radio interview for this week is again of two winners:
1) Andrea Stella and Fernando Alonso for the communication of the garage in Italian and English response. Dodgers! In the end it is known that all the spy everyone, so why not make it difficult Life competition, speaking less popular than the ubiquitous English? Answer Fernando (positive) in English all the more arousing interest and intrigue. For what it is Alonso agreed ...? Send message appeared rather quickly, but it was more problematic than traditional Gadki English. Meanwhile, Fernando in an interview with the BBC admitted with a disarming smile, he can now rest of the teams should employ at least one Italian. So is it any more ...?
2) Lewis Hamilton for the steadfast character and bravery admirable and enviable. Just a few laps to the end, Lewis is a huge loss for the third Alonso (from what I remember about 30 seconds), but it asks for a chance at the podium. Yes Lewis! For such militancy crowds love you!
Wisdom of Life Andrzej Borowczyk: this is not how far, and the consistency of opinion and the opinion! Andrew is a master. The beginning of the race, Fernando Alonso is going to overtake Nico Rosberg, and Andrew gives a speech that could Rosberg and fast and talented, but lacks a claw, and valor, so Fernando trouble ahead will not be (And had). Half of the race, Rosberg is chosen to Button, and John tells us calmly that Rosberg is quoted typical racer who will not sell the skin easily.
lingerer weekend is already the next victim of a bad strategy, that this time, Jenson Button.
Fight weekend: a duel Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton at the beginning of the race. I'd also reward drivers with Renault for the memory of history and attempted to reconstruct the tragedy of last year's Red Bull, but I do not approve stupidity. But the best advance (ie, something less than a drawn-out fight) choose ahead of Nico Rosberg by Jenson Button - because on the outside (and this in itself is a good maneuver), and also outside the DRS, ie without facilitation.
Ciapa weekend: it hurts, but ... Michael Schumacher, on the occasion of the TV show which still could be heard just one overtaken by ... . In addition, Michael gets the prize for most shocking moment of GP, namely the admission of guilt for the accident with Petrov. Seriously, Michael? WTF?
Other Observations: Vettelowe that's what I'm talking about has probably reached equal status palcowi - a small thing and terribly annoying. Let me at this point in the biting: it seemed to me that the final radio interview (apart from being a custom and courtesy) are: from the team: pogratulowaniu victory, and from the driver: thanks to the team and possibly motivate him to continue working. So I ask: how repeated over and over for months and tired of the same text can still motivate anyone, and - as the team has to believe in the sincerity of thanks and expressed gratitude to the driver's ALWAYS in the same way?

PS I wrote the text of his time, which compared the F1 drivers to cartoon characters Wacky races ( Wacky Races ). Recently I created a revised version of this comparison. The first text (in Polish), from last year, is here, and the second (and later, because only a few days, but similar in some respects, but in my opinion, better) is available for viewing here (English) .
