Although strictly the Turkish Grand Prix takes place on the Asian side of the Bosphorus River, one can consider that this is the first race of the "season European. " After the break of three weeks the teams will arrive with many developments, especially Ferrari is in dire need of them for the bad results achieved so far. Istanbul circuit is one of the favorite tracks of the Formula 1 drivers, especially at Turn 8 three vertices which is one of the most beautiful in the world with Eau Rouge and that, unlike Belgian circuit curve, this has not been able to trace the throttle.
As in modern circuits, the Istanbul was designed by German Hermann Tilke and has 14 curves, 8 to the left and 6 right and 4 lines. This scenario has a width of between 14 and 21.5 meters. The length of the line is 655.5 meters, running in the opposite direction clockwise and reaches a top speed of 320km / h.
is a very demanding circuit for the car, both for aerodynamics and engine. As Montmeló, cars that go well here, they do most of the paths.
According to the pilot Pedro de la Rosa " The layout is interesting because it allows the pilot to advance, it is hard for the neck and has many slopes. I've always found it especially difficult to turn 4. It is a slow curve second is blind at the entrance and also has very hilly making the right front tire is a time in the air. Turn 8 is hard on the neck and the tires but driving at a curve is pretty easy. If the car is perfect in qualifying should be thorough with new tires and low fuel "
The last curves before the finish line are also challenging for the drivers. 12-14 are curves that are left, right and left again. It is a low-speed sector comes next to go through the line faster circuit. For all that frequently occur here graining.
The pilot is undoubtedly beat Felipe Massa that of 6 editions of the total GP 3 has won the Brazilian driver. Area
use DRS
This time, the activation zone of the DRS will be just before the braking zone for entry into Turn 9 and may be used between the curves 10 and 12 of the Istanbul Park track, just where last year the incident took place between the Red Bull of Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel when both fought for the lead of the race.
should be noted that the trigger point is after the famous Turn 8, too demanding for riders and tires. Those who intend to advance will have to gamble to reach the detection zone with less than a second over the car in front.
curves 10 and 12 are linked by the "curve" 11 which hardly can be considered as such because the cars thoroughly negotiate even with the DRS enabled about 260 km / h. The DRS-use area is outlined in yellow on the chart below.
The final point is in the great braking before the turn 12 which leads to a fork and is a clear point of overtaking.
As you can see in this case activation will not be held in the main straight for its short length.
Pirelli Tires
For this GP is like running at home because in this country, namely in Izmit, are made of 50,000 F1 tires to be used this year's Formula 1 championship.
Pirelli is developing a new component for particularly demanding track for the rubber: The Pacifier, whose features are a longer life and less degradation. Although the eighth corner of Turkey is a good excuse to mount those tires, Pirelli prefer to wait rather than risk, so it will not be used in the race, but only on Friday for teams to prove it. For Paul Hembery and Pirelli, the Turkish Grand Prix is \u200b\u200bone of the most important year because in Izmit factory is encuenta brand Milan, which recently celebrated its 50 anniversary. "The Istanbul Park should be one of the most challenging circuits of the year for our tires, because of the high speed corners, abrasive and bumpy surfaces, and large forces acting on the vehicle. The reputation of the curve 8 is entirely justified, and that contribute to high levels of wear "said Hembery.
addition, the athletic director of Pirelli forecast three stops for the race this weekend. " expect a three-stop race, but of course, the individual strategies of the teams will be decisive for the outcome of the race as has happened so far. But usually the temperatures in Turkey are warm, forecasts suggest that it will be colder than usual, so I guess we'll have another weekend exciting and different, "says Paul.
Two weeks after the Grand Prix of Turkey will reach another challenge: the English circuit of Montmelo, Catalonia, whose track is very abrasive. Here, perhaps, they just use the superhard tires: "If Turkey get the results we expect," says Maurizio Boiocchi, director of Pirelli development "Our goal will be to use these tires in Barcelona."
"We look forward to check the performance of our new hard compound. In Pirelli do not believe in keeping quiet and, together with the equipment, we are working on new developments in our tires that we hope will promote competitiveness throughout the season. This tire offers less degradation and durability, but it will make the warm-up is a bit slower and has less grip, "he adds Boiocchi
