Superb Drive and Strategy from Vettel and Redbull in Monaco GP

Sebastian Vettel won the Monaco F1 Grand Prix, Sunday (29 / 5) through the tense competition and the contest was stopped briefly on lap 72 due to the incidents experienced by some riders. When done restart, the driver Red Bull was finally able to complete 78 laps with a sharpshooter Pit stop strategy from the team.

In the sixth series of this race, Vettel demonstrate exceptional performance. Imagine, with just one world champion Pit stop 2010 was to finish the race with a total time of 2 hours 09 minutes 38.373 seconds. With  five times victory out of six series, the top position in the standings while becoming robust with 143 points.

Occupied the second place driver Fernando Alonso of Ferrari. Since lap-60 he tried to suppress Vettel, but the effort stalled until the race was stopped on lap-72. If race is not terminated, another possibility would result.

Therefore, new Vettel once Pit stop condition worn tires. But, he could keep the car's speed, especially in the corners. Team Red Bull is right to run its strategy, namely by using soft compound tires at the beginning and then replace it with a hard on lap 17. Imagine, for 55 laps (until lap 72 when stopped), he was able to maintain the condition of the tires until the finish.

Who's Jenson Button won third place. McLaren racer is up to three times into the pit to use super soft tires. Even had led the race, although eventually had to settle for third podium.

Massa had an accident, Hamilton penalized

Under the air temperature 42 degrees Celsius, the rider to start smoothly without incident at the first corner. Alonso able to poke in the third pass stuck behind Webber and Vettel and Button.

According to the provisions, the first two laps riders are prohibited from using DRS. Locations outside corner use DRS to last crossed the start line. Until the 7th lap, Hamilton was in the order of the 10th kept trying to overtake Schumacher. But the narrowness of the track, making Hamilton who repeatedly provoked movements remain difficult Schumacher bulldoze former seven-times world champion.

Finally, new on the 10th lap Hamilton could over take. That, too, there seems to be a radio message from the Mercedes team to Schumacher. Through radio, Schumacher behind the wheel began to preach when peeling. On lap 13 the pit entrance instead of the front wing.

While Vettel still leading and Button tried to shorten the distance until lap 14, Alonso was only 1 second further behind Button. On lap 16, Button entered the pit and change tires dropped to fourth position. One lap later followed by Vettel, only he had used hard tire compound that can reach 35 more laps. When Vettel pit entrance, a small incident because Webber also go in the pit. Had been a confusion between Red Bull's crew. When re-entering the race track into the track so the second position, followed by Alonso on lap 18 and he still ranks third.

Mclaren strategy in the earliest change tires on the Button was fruition result in the mid race. He started the race leading on 18 laps and Vettel was behind him. But, on the second Pit stop strategy. Apparently, Button who use super soft tires to maximize the speed of the McLaren tried to leave Vettel out of 6 seconds more. Even until lap-32 McLaren ahead 13 seconds more than Vettel and secure enough to maintain the first position when entering the pit replace the tire.

Hamilton entered the pits on lap 23. When out, she was still scattered on the 15 th position.

Entering the 29th lap, leader of the race is still held by Button's quite far superior. The second and third positions are also still to be owned by Vettel and Alonso.

On lap 34, Button entered the pit using the super soft tires again. When entering the orbit, the third displaced position. Safety Car into a lap 35 as Massa crash on barrier in the tunnel. He was probably surprised because Hamilton came from the inside is so insistent, making his car did not have room to dodge. Hamilton's actions made him exposed to "drive through penalty" that run on lap 44.

Schumacher was also unable to continue the race due to smoke billowing from the engine. Alonso overtaking on the side of the pit straight into the tire change on lap 35. Stay ahead of Vettel who fared less well, because when Pitstop II distance with Button and Alonso are very close.

Safety car entered lap 40, Vettel was in front of the shadowed Button 3 seconds. Sign in lap 48, Vettel Button stuck in traffic and can stick under one second. On lap 49, Button entered the pit and soft tire change its position displaced by Alonso.

On lap 60, Alonso began to suppress the condition Vettel fourth start worn. While Button was looming duel 5 seconds behind Red Bull and Ferrari. Fun Stuff, sign lap 63, the distance Vettel, Alonso and Button are sticking together. Living alone who make mistakes.

Meanwhile, behind the three of them also there is competition fierce. Kamui Kobayashi, Webber, Adrian Sutil and vying for fourth place.

The third competition rider who hit each other it stopped on lap 69, when all three are stuck in traffic about four cars ahead of them of them had an accident. Starting from Maldonado (Williams) is overtaking Sutil, but Sutil hit the wall at the bend entry barrier. Later, two other riders have come after that.

With the entry of the safety car on lap 70, Vettel was saved from tire wear. But on lap 72, the red flag was unfurled and the driver stopped at the start / finish to restart.

New removable and not the road one lap, Hamilton was again nudged Maldonado. WAG Williams finally could not control the steering and hit the barrier wall.

DRS in Monaco

Unlike a circuit race in Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain, last week, in which the rider may use the DRS (Drag Reduction System), both during practice, qualifying races to date. Monaco F1 Grand Prix Special at the sixth series, the FIA ​​agreed DRS used when crossing the tunnel.

FIA race director Charlie Whiting agree that DRS is not used when passing through the tunnel, both during practice and qualifying. He had written a letter to WAG Grand Prix Association (GPDA) informing supports DRS concerns about dangerous rider in the tunnel.

FIA will set a ban DRS between two points on the Monaco track - with a distance of 1.350m and 2.020m - around the tunnel. In fact its use is transferred to another intervene, possibly at the beginning of the track.

Not all riders agree with this decision (DRS prohibition in tunnels). "I will love the people over to sit in the car and tried in the tunnel with the functioning of DRS," said senior driver Rubens Barrichello.

In my opinion, continued Rubens, they wait for something bad to happen. Then, with their easy to say, "Oh, next year it will not happen in Monaco," said Brazilian driver.

2011 Season Not for Kubica

Polish rider, Robert Kubica, certainly absent in all series of Formula 1 (F1) in this 2011 season. However, Renault racer someday they may be taking part in a free practice session Friday at the rest of the season.

Renault said in a statement the owner, Gerard Lopez on Monday (5/23/2011). According to Renault F1 boss, as submitted to the Spanish radio station Onda Cero, no one can predict how to speed healing Kubica suffered injuries due to an accident during a rally on 6 February.

"We probably will provide an opportunity for him (Kubica) appear in Friday's session this year, but honestly, his chances of returning this season barely possible," said Lopez, who express it after the Spanish Grand Prix last weekend.

"Robert had survived the terrible accident and now he must do the hardest to heal completely, which no one could know whether he can be successful, whether he himself, the doctors, as well as us."

Currently, a former teammate at Sauber Kubica, Nick Heidfeld, be a substitute for a while. However, with the statement, Heidfeld tandem rider is guaranteed to be Russian, Vitaly Petrov, until the end of the season.

Kubica spent two months in hospital, after suffering severe injuries in the feet, hands and head. The 26-year-old rider was involved in an accident when, following a small rally in Italy.

Ferrari Fired They're Technical Director

Disappointing results in the Spanish GP was quick to react quickly Ferrari. "Prancing Horses" Aldo Costa removed from the position of technical director.

Ferrari arguably get a disgrace in the race at Catalunya last weekend. At that time they could not do much to see one of the riders who also double world champion, Fernando Alonso, dioverlap in front of the fans their own country.

These events seem to increasingly make Ferrari impatient, having less than satisfactory results are also achieved so far. So too must be willing Costa removed from the position of technical director.

Italian man was called Ferrari will assume other responsibilities in Maranello, although not yet found out where he will now be positioned.

"technical activity has been rearranged in three parts. Director of the affairs of the chassis is Pat Fry, the production is in the hands Corrado Lanzone while the affairs of the electronic machinery and equipment held by Luca Marmorini," added Ferrari in a statement reported by Reuters.

Ferrari Expected Improvement for Hard Compound Tires

Ferrari plans to conduct discussions with Pirelli about the possibility of further changes need to be there or not against the hard tire compound for the rest of this season. "Scuderia" want to do after experiencing many problems with the tire rubber at the Spanish Grand Prix last weekend.

Both Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa have difficulty in grip (grip) tires hard-and trouble is clear when Alonso effectively lost a lot of lap time with the leaders of the race at Barcelona when he was replaced.

Ferrari team principal, Stefano Domenicalli, told Autosport: "At least, you can not say that the Pirelli works for Ferrari ... have no doubt from the beginning that the company will ensure that the tires for the team will be perfect!"

"Now, in addition, we need to see what is next. We need to work very closely with them, to see if it's something right that we should have."

Domenicalli acknowledge that down force to be one thing that makes Ferrari's difficult to compete with Red Bull Racing. Nevertheless, he was not too sure what became the main picture is not pretty competitive team.

"We must be very careful," he said. "We've seen so many different things that happen in the first few races since the beginning. It is difficult to make an assessment at this time.

"What we see in Spain is a condition that requires maximum down force with and we do not have it! We have to multiply the hard fact that the tires could not make it work. Remember, Fernando led for 18 laps in 46 laps, so we were overtaken, lost about three seconds per lap. It's hard to explain.

"I must say that this is the worst race for us since the beginning in terms of speed. In the last few races we were fast, and it is shameful. But we have seen that everything is easy to change this year, and perhaps aspects of the tires have made a big difference.

"So, we need to be careful. We need to see where we are on the next series, when we have a different tire, which is much more delicate, and different configurations of the car. Then, we'll see where we are in the standings because we will not give up. "

Mercedes Confident in Spain

Duo Mercedes Team Grand Prix, Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher, feel confident they can compete with Ferrari at the Spanish Grand Prix today, Sunday (22/5/11). But they admit, Red Bull Racing and McLaren too strong and difficult to overcome.

In fact, Mercedes is not too convincing in the qualifying session at the Catalunya Circuit, Saturday (21/5/11). Evidence, Rosberg is only in the order of seven and Schumacher in the top 10 after getting a problem on KERS. Nevertheless, the German rider pair remain confident they can thrust forward during the race.

"In Turkey I was in third position on the grid and here the seventh, so this is not ideal. However, moving one step backward, there is hope because we are slightly changing the approach and concentrate more on speed during the race," said Rosberg.

"For the race, we'll look better than in Turkey, because there (Turkey), I find it very difficult. Here, we as a whole trying to do a better job and look forward speed during the race are also better, although it would have no difficulty.

"In terms of tires, I feel better than Ferrari. I'm not too sure with McLaren."

About Red Bull, Schumacher said: "I think it is fair to say that the differences in record time in qualifying, will be very difficult to beat Red Bull.

"A car that is aerodynamic very tough, which Red Bull can show and prove on the type of tracks such as Barcelona. We own a team I can predict the top three or four, so it will fight with Ferrari, because I think the Red Bull driver and McLaren too strong for us.

"That, too, must be proven. Ferrari finally showed good performance, so it will be difficult for us against them."

Vettel Won, Hamilton Closing and Alonso Outstanding Effort

Sebastian Vettel managed to win a place in F1 Spain Catalunya Circuit, Barcelona, ​​Sunday (05/22/2011). WAG mainstay Red Bull Racing team had completed 66 laps with a total time of 1 hour 39 minutes 03.301 and made his position increasingly strong in the standings with a total of 118 points.

Second place was taken by Lewis Hamilton. McLaren racer is a great look incredible. Improvements made the team in 15 parts on the MP4-26 makes this 2008 world champion appear confident. In fact, several times Vettel almost overtaken at the corner.

Evidence that the performance of the McLaren MP4-26 is very nice look of the interface that can occupy Button third. The British rider with nimble to bulldoze Mark Webber moved it from third.

It is unfortunate, Fernando Alonso, as the host driver, he appeared so perfect in the early rounds and capable of leading the race. However, his chances vanished when doing Pitstop. In fact, he almost touched with Webber and Alonso had to settle for finishing in fifth position.

Completing the top ten positions are Mercedes duo Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg, Nick Heidfeld, Sergio Perez and Kamui Kobayashi.

The Race Story

Fernando Alonso did a perfect start at home. He immediately leapt to the front by taking the side of Webber in the first corner, while Vettel from the outside. Thus, when the outside corner, Alonso's lead was followed by Vettel, Webber and Hamilton.

In addition to Webber, there is also a Button from McLaren who have less than perfect start. He slipped to 10th. Until lap 6, Alonso was still in front with Vettel leaving more than 0.6 seconds. However, sign lap 7, Vettel continued to shorten his gap to finished only 0.5 seconds.

Six laps passed Alonso still leads the race. Vettel was close behind the Spaniard followed by Webber.

Vettel was the first rider who took the Pitstop on lap 7 with 3.7 seconds time to replace all four tires, but still have not managed to shift Alonso of pole position. Alonso signed a lap 11 pit crew along with Webber and Ferrari mechanics performing their duties properly so that Alonso remained in front.

On lap 10 Vettel into the Pitstop and replacement tires. His position had slipped to 9th.

One lap later Alonso's turn into the pit and its position slipped to 3rd followed by Webber, who also went into the pit. Hamilton took over the leadership race.

The entry of Hamilton to pit lane on lap 12 makes Alonso took his first position again. Still running tight race in which Alonso was being followed Vettel and Hamilton.

On lap 19 Vettel into the pit again to change the tires the same software as the first and dropped to fourth position. One lap later, Alonso into turn followed by Webber. Unfortunately, work is not as fast as the Ferrari team first. When Alonso signed the track, Vettel had left him pretty far. In fact, Alonso finished third shifted when Hamilton can quickly change the tires and the track entrance.

On lap 21 Vettel overtaking Alonso in second. Alonso dropped to No. 3 because the pitlane entry a few laps earlier. Hamilton led the race.

Three laps later Hamilton's entry into the pit to make Vettel got into the first position. Behind Hamilton is Alonso and Webber.

The position on lap 25 is Vettel, Hamilton, Alonso, Webber, Button, Schumacher, Rosberg, Petrov, Buemi and Massa.

With unyielding spirit, Alonso tried to drain as much as possible the performance of the Ferrari 150 for Webber continued to press with a very close range. While Vettel increasingly tight in the future without being able affixed by Hamilton.

Tragedy nudge between Alonso and Webber almost happened when they both entered the pit to replace a tire on lap 30. Fortunately, Alonso did not force myself to close Webber. Both involved fierce competition and several times tried to take Alonso Webber in the corner, but to no avail.

Lap-32 is still tinged fight Alonso and Webber jockeyed for position to-3. While Vettel is still comfortably leading the way followed by Hamilton.

On lap 35, Vettel returned to the pits to change tires and this time use the hard compound. Sag second position. However, one lap later to return to the front entrance so Hamilton pits to change tires as well.

On lap 37 Button again rise to the top three positions after Alonso being overtake. Now the two McLaren Mercedes driver stalking on Vettel .

After taking half of the 66 laps, the riders started wearing a hard tire. On lap 40, Alonso pulled into the pit for the fourth time. However, all four wheels using a new type of hard tires reported as the biggest test.

Remove from lap 45, Vettel was in the forefront and is very safe. Therefore, the distance with Hamilton 1.3 seconds adrift. On lap 46 Hamilton Vettel still being followed faithfully. The team also contact Vettel and he said there are problems with KERS in his car. Opportunity for Hamilton to overtake?

On lap 47 Webber entered the pit, then go to the track remains in fourth position. One lap later after team-mate, but Vettel position drops to second place. However, he returned to the front so Hamilton entered the pits.

In the lead, Vettel report to the team on lap 51 that he was using KERS. Hamilton looks trying hard chasing Red Bull RB7 numbered 1. Then, the race engineer pebalapnya Vettel told that Hamilton was stuck and on lap 56 McLaren almost poke, but Vettel was still able to close the space.

Hamilton vs Vettel on lap-56 the more exciting! Both use the KERS and Hamilton right behind Vettel.

Massa out! Not a good day for Ferrari at the race this time after Massa was forced out of the race on lap 61, due to gearbox problems.

And finally Vettal also won the Catalunya Grand Prix after winning a tight battle with Hamilton.

Ferrari Rear Wing Was Ilegal - FIA

Ferrari did not feel any major impact on the FIA's decision, which prohibited them from using a new rear wing at the Spanish GP this weekend. Because the effect is very small.

On Saturday (05/21/2011), the International Automobile Federation (FIA) decided that the Ferrari's rear wing is illegal. That's because the extension of the cover rear wing is higher than normal so that violate the rules and the "Scuderia" asked to replace them.

WAG Ferrari, Fernando Alonso, said the FIA's decision to give effect. Nonetheless, plus 2005 and 2006 world champion, the effect is not significant.

"It was one of the new parts we have for this race. However, they decided that we should not use it so that we eliminate them," said the Spanish rider.

"This is the part that gives us a little change. However, we are talking about no more than half a tenth or so this is not a drama when I have to eliminate them."

Ferrari Technical Director Aldo Costa added, "We talk too much about this small detail. That is a detail so honest, it is not a big problem with or without it."

He also asserted, Ferrari believes the wing is still legal even though the FIA ​​banned it.

"For us, the detail is legal. However, you have a lot of clarification with the FIA, many interpretations. There is a change of opinion so you can move on. It is a small detail and it was not a case that shook us when removed."

Indeed, Ferrari was forced to replace their rear wing on this Saturday after FIA consider it illegal. A day earlier, the FIA ​​race director Charlie Whiting said the FIA ​​to check more detailed wings that brought Ferrari back to the Catalunya Circuit.

"The wing is a very clever manifestation of the existing regulations. However, we must decide whether Ferrari's interpretation of the rules that do well without the benefit of regulatory gaps," said Whiting.

Alonso Felt Optimize from Istambul Result

Ferrari start the season with a performance that is not convincing. However, results in GP Istanbul yesterday growing optimism Fernando Alonso if he could compete in track champion.



Finish in fourth position in the series opener in Australia, Alonso dropped his appearance in the next two series. At Sepang it only finish in sixth and seventh position in the Chinese Grand Prix.



Ferrari car that can not afford any such driving speed to compete Red Bull Racing's Sebastian Vettel is so dominant or even Lewis Hamilton in his McLaren Mercedes.

Hope are rise eventually present in all four series this season, namely in Turkey last weekend. For the first time the Spaniard on the podium for the first time, after finishing third behind Vettel and Mark Webber.

In the race that Alonso and F60 car looks have started to compete with the RB7. So that's what Alonso's confidence grow when she competed in track champion this season.

Moreover, Alonso's experience last season was decreased in the third start of the season, before finally rising in the second half of the season. Unfortunately in the last series he failed to become champion.

"You know I play with the numbers and I traveled back and forth between home, Maranello and Turkey, I am comparing between the first four races last year and this season, to correspondent race," Alonso said as quoted by Autosport.

"This season we still have the remaining 15 series. It shows if you can see the same thing in two different views, although the two are opposites. The important thing is results and we can begin to go up to the podium," he continued.

"We must do it continuously and I'm sure if we will be able to compete again fighting champion title again," confident of F1 world champion twice that.

Expected More Over Taking in Spain

Shanghai Circuit in China, is one of the circuit with a long straight track which reached 17.1 meters. But the FIA ​​(world motor racing federation) only permits the activation zone of Drag Reduction System (DRS) over 752 meters. The reason is because the zones are too long will make the process of overtaking so very easy to use flexible wing or DRS.

But do not be prejudiced first. 2011 season is a season full of surprises, the use of Drag Reduction System (DRS) aka flexible wing and the Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) will certainly be things that would make F1 races in Spain (22 / 5) future be more exciting. Not to mention the strategic use of tires will be very influential because of the character of this circuit is fairly complex.

Catalunya circuit F1 event in Spain (22 / 5), it seems the FIA ​​will not reduce rations DRS activation zone. Tracks straight, which is the starting line - the finish on the circuit is reportedly going to use the lane 830 yards straight as an activation zone of DRS. Thus from 4 series of Formula 1 that have been held this season, Spain will have the longest DRS activation zone.

The reason for extension of areas of activation along the 830-meter in the circuit, associated with the level of difficulty to overtake your opponent in Catalunya is very high. Profile circuit that is not too wide will make the rider is quite difficult to maneuver to overtake.

Of course F1 Spanish series will be one of the most exciting spectacle in the future. In addition to having high levels of difficulty to overtake the opponent, some fast corners also demanded precision better car to be as fast through that section

F1 assessed regulatory changes will make the race this weekend so different.

That's at least the belief voiced by a number of team bosses who competed in the arena 'Jet Land' this season. The existence of Drag Reduction System (DRS) and KERS predicted would make the Spanish Grand Prix to be more fierce.

"I think with the DRS all be possible," the Renault Team Principal on Planet F1 Eric Boullier, referring to his hopes to see a lot of overtaking.

"Mainly because aspects of tire decreasing, it needs an aggressive strategy that requires overtaking on the track and of course a good finish in the race," he added.

From McLaren's Martin Whitmarsh has ekspekstasi are not much different with Boullier about the significance of DRS and KERS race later in the process.

"In particular I am interested to see how the 2011 regulatory changes will affect the race on Sunday."

"We have seen how the DRS and the KERS hybrid has given effect in a race this season, so we'll see how the situation in Barcelona later given the previous Spanish Grand Prix already provide limited opportunities for overtaking," said Whitmarsh.

Williams Technical Director Sam Michael joined assess if previous Catalunya Circuit does not give much room for overtaking. It will not happen again this season.

"I'm sure there will be a lot of overtaking. With the condition of the tires and rear wing aspect should be so different. I think this is a very good test."

"In the past this was the worst track for overtaking affairs," Michael straightforward.

Last year Webber a winner in the series and the first Spanish driver led the standings after the F1 Monaco. Is this year's Mark Webber can look better? Hopefully.

McLaren Prepared MP4-26 Upgrade

Having failed to apply the upgrade packages in Istanbul, McLaren is now preparing to apply at the Spanish GP at the weekend. The amount of the package was up to 12.

McLaren previously prepared a number of new aspects in the GP of Turkey, but problems in the manufacturing process to make an update it can not be used because the matter of reliability.

Without these upgrades, McLaren did not achieve satisfactory results in Istanbul with Lewis Hamilton finish in fourth position while in the top six. But the upgrades, plus a number of other enhancements, will be tested in Catalunya since Friday.

"We have a package that will upgrade our car in Spain - we bring an upgrade to each race - but overall we will have about 10 or 12 upgrade, some of which will be visible from the outside and some are not visible," said Technical Director McLaren F1 Team, Goss on ESPN.

"Our goal is obviously to win the race, race and eventually win the championship, and to do so we had to cut the difference from the Red Bull and get rid of the problems," he added.

The back of the MP4-26 is called will feature a number of the upgrade. That part has even experienced a major change from the initial design.

"We will evaluate all of our upgrades on Friday in Spain and that looks good will we carry on," Goss straightforward.

Button Expect to Catch Red Bull

Jenson Button warned his team, McLaren, to quickly clean up since the Spanish Grand Prix this weekend in order to provide pressure for Red Bull.

Of the four series so far, through Sebastian Vettel Red Bull appeared very dominant. McLaren himself was showing signs of revival in China in the third series when Lewis Hamilton beat Vettel, but on the fourth series McLaren even back scattered.

With the results of four series so far, Vettel had topped the standings with 34 points from Hamilton's advantage is in second position. Button who finished his teammate Hamilton in the McLaren while behind 47 points from the defending champion.

"We must not remain silent, we must continue to move forward," said Button as reported by ESPN F1.

The main reason for not satisfying performance of the McLaren is the lack of updates on the MP4-26 because of reliability problems. This is what must be addressed by McLaren at this weekend at Catalunya.

"This team never gave up, I knew it, and I am very confident they will bring positive improvement to Barcelona."

"Red Bull is definitely fast and they have a lot of points this time, but that could all change quickly if you give them a big pressure. So we have to make sure can do it as quickly as possible," said Button.

Overtake in Istanbul Was A Record

Formula 1 this season more exciting with the increasing number of action marked the overtake each other. Action overtaking the Turkish GP even equal the old record in the number of overtaking in one race weekend.

As reported, citing Speedtv Down as Finnish media, there was 79 times the action precedes another in Istanbul Park last weekend.

The number is the same as the old record created in 1983 in Long Beach circuit. Racing success story when it characterized the McLaren duo of John Watson and Niki Lauda who finished the sequence 1-2.

Up to four series that has been running in this season, a total of more than 200 times the action of overtaking. The amount is nearly half of the total number of overtaking in the championship the previous edition.

Simply take action ahead of each other on the one hand it brings a complaint. Virgin racer Timo Glock considered that the DRS system greatly facilitates the driver to go ahead of his opponent.

"When you is between one second with the driver in front of you, the opportunity to pass very large. In Istanbul, it almost certainly happen," he said as reported by Sport1.

"It may be more interesting again if the zone where you can use the rear wing was reduced in number."

But technical boss Mike Gascoyne Lotus have a different opinion. "There are a number of complaints about the actions of overtake too much, which complaint was truly extraordinary for us to hear," he writes in a column in the Telegraph.

"Indeed you can not satisfy all people at all times. But we are here to race and, most importantly, we present a number of quality races."

Perfect Perfomance From Vettel and RedBull 1-2 Finished

Sebastian Vettel appear very impressive and won the Formula 1 race on Circuit Istanbul, Turkey, Sunday (08/05/2011). Start from pole position, driver Red Bull Racing looks perfect because untouched since lap 1 to 58, to record its third victory in four series of the 2011 season.

In this race, Red Bull also showed great performance as they finish in positions 1-2, following the success of Mark Webber was runner-up. Teammate Vettel won the exciting duel with Fernando Alonso as the race six laps remaining, which makes the Ferrari driver had to settle for number three on the podium, followed by Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg, Jenson Button and Nick Heidfeld.

With the results of this fourth series, Vettel firmly on top of the standings with a total of 93 points, followed by Hamilton, who collected 59 points and Webber 55 points. Although the competition is still very long, if performed consistently, Vettel has a tremendous opportunity to re-jet racing event rule this land.

The race drama

When the five red lights went out, the driver started his car immediately. Vettel did a very good start with so that he can maintain his position as leader of the course of the race, so also with Rosberg who directly poke into second from third position, when out of the corner 2. Behind a row there are Webber and Alonso.
