A new season but it seems that nothing has changed. Vettel and Red Bull seem to have wings for a while and are in another galaxy. German times are stratospheric Having been put 0.778 seconds to Lewis Hamilton qualified second fastest and 0.866 seconds the third highest ranked Mark Webber, Vettel and partner that has the same material .
time of 1:23.529 was achieved in a session marked by low temperatures making it difficult to achieve the optimum temperature of the tires and yet was half a second faster than last year's pole was obtained with other tires tested and the famous double diffuser. And this is add that Red Bull has not used the KERS without giving reasons. In another post I will try to explain why based on some rumors of the paddock.
In the picture you can see Vettel in action (with powered rear spoiler). notice how low are the front wings on the picture below
Hamilton
The big surprise on Saturday have been putting Hamilton McLaren in the first row despite not having obtained the time by failure of the system as the team communicated. In the picture you can see Hamilton doing a flat tire and compare the height of the McLaren front wing along with Red Bull.
Webber was third and was very puzzled by the drop in performance, even " investigate" the car's front wing of his team for a few seconds in parc ferme at the end of the session Would you have done something like the British Grand Prix last year when he got the best wing to Vettel?. Now there's your aunt, is the first driver Vettel.
In fourth place are the other McLaren with Jenson Button at the wheel of the Ferrari ahead of Alonso who has experienced a drop in performance compared with that seen in the preseason. Some reports speculate heating problems with the tires and this may be one of the reasons why they had to resort to soft in Q1 unlike Red Bull and McLaren who did not use this type of compound.
In sixth place we found an old "friend " Alonso, the Renault Vitaly Petrov that marked the 6th. fastest time, while Nick Heifield, replacing Robert Kubica, failed to pass the Q1.
The next row will consist of Nico Rosberg, who returns to scalp the Kaiser (best time all season) with 0.3 seconds apart and the other Ferrari of Felipe Massa controls.
release of the standard of 107% leaving without running Hispania
regalmento Article 36.3 of the sport dictates that any pilot whose Q1 session best lap exceeds 107% of the fastest lap can not be part of the output grid. Under exceptional circumstances, which must include making adequate time during free practice, the stewards may permit the release of the pilot.
For today's session 107% of best time is 1:31.266 and the times marked by Liuzzi (1:32.978) and Karthikeyan (1:34.293) are far away from the cut set by the FIA. Considering that a car has turned 5 laps and the other 11 times are at least rspetables, almost miraculously been able arracncar the car.
Hispania had his hope in that Virgin had asked the FOTA "leniency" (To ask Hispania can not because it is the only team that belongs to the FOTA) but Virgin have come to the hairs Hispania desperately tried to file a petition alleging exceptional circumstances but this request was flatly rejected by the commissioners. According
main team of the English team, Colin Kolles: "We the miracle again, but it was not enough. Come back much stronger in Malaysia. They have more time to run the car and go where they should really be demonstrating F111 "
The final classification can be seen here.
