Pirelli tyres have made starts more difficult - Webber

Mark Webber believes the characteristics of the Pirelli tyres have made it more difficult to make consistent getaways at the starts of races this year.

Webber has suffered more than most off the startline this season and dropped from second to fourth heading into the first corner in Singapore last weekend. Some drivers such as Fernando Alonso have mastered their starts this year, but consistency has been difficult to achieve.

"This year, we have seen the biggest fluctuation in starts for years, which is purely down to the new Pirelli tyres and how they perform off the line," Webber said in his column on the BBC Sport website. "It is harder to manage the grip away from the start but if you get it right - as Fernando Alonso did in Monza - it makes a big difference. For all that, my starts have been poor this year."
And he explained that drivers still have a big part to play when engaging the clutch.

"The rules make it pretty challenging for engineers to get the starts right as launch control and other electronic aids that limit wheel-spin are not allowed," he added. "There is a lot of work for the drivers to do as well. I cannot give too much away but there are a number of procedures to go through before we get going. When the lights go out, we quickly release one clutch paddle on the steering wheel and feed in a second gradually - that's the one the driver uses to modulate the grip of the rear wheels."

Hamilton drive attracts 40,000 in India

Over 40,000 fans turned out to watch Lewis Hamilton demonstrate a McLaren on the streets of Bangalore on Tuesday.
Hamilton drove his 2008 world championship-winning MP4-23 along the NICE road as part of the build up to the inaugural Indian Grand Prix on October 30, before carrying out a Q&A for the fans. Hamilton said he was "overwhelmed" by the number of fans lining the streets after the run, and that he could feel the anticipation building ahead of the race.

Not just the poor results achieved by two pebalapnya, but the team of "black gold" it had to pay a fine of 7500 euros for one giving instructions to Bruno Senna, when the race resumed after the safety car (SC) exit.

Indeed, the race at Marina Bay is becoming the worst weekend for Renault during the 2011 season. Circuit layout is not compatible with this team made ​​two pebalapnya thrown from the top 10, not suitable for translucent Senna targets top 10, where Senna is only able to be in the order of 15, while Vitaly Petrov sunk in position 17.

This fact makes Eric Boullier disappointed. Renault team principal is describing, the 14 series races into the appearance of "shameful".

Renault told Senna that he is fighting with Sergio Perez existing front street circuit, although the Mexican driver was a lap ahead. As a result, Senna tried to overtake his rival from the Sauber team so that a collision is inevitable.

An FIA statement said, "The team failed to inform the pebalapnya about the correct position during the race, which became the cause of a collision with a car number 17, Sergio Perez."

Button proud to delay title

Jenson Button says he feels "very proud" to have prevented Sebastian Vettel from winning the driver's championship in Singapore.
Vettel secured the victory he needed at Marina Bay, meaning that one of Button, Mark Webber or Fernando Alonso needed to finish second to stop him claiming the title. It was Button who managed to do so with an impressive drive, meaning he is now the only driver still in with a mathematical chance of winning the championship. Button said he was happy with the result, but that he knows he is delaying the inevitable.
"I feel very proud I stopped Seb from winning the championship in Singapore, that he was unable to celebrate it here," Button told Press Association Sport. "So I'm very happy - but we all know it's going to happen at the next race."
Button also revealed that he was battling illness before the race, and had to stock up on carbohydrates to get through the race.
"I was ill yesterday morning. I don't know where it came from, but when you do have it you're massively dehydrated. I was a kilo and a half lighter than I normally am in the morning and putting that weight back on was quite difficult.
"So I 'Immodiumed' up, ate a lot of pasta because carbohydrates help you soak up liquid and drank a lot of special drinks from Aki (McLaren team doctor Aki Hintsa), his salty water drinks. So I was good by the race, I managed to get my weight back up, and I got through it."

Alonso Aims for Runner Up

Fernando Alonso failed to maintain its position in the standings after picking up the result was not too good at Singapore GP Sunday (25/09/2011). In a race night at the Marina Bay Circuit, Ferrari finished only fourth, so he went down one strip into the top three.

Donate 12 points in the series to the 14th of this makes Alonso collected a total of 184 points. 2005 and 2006 world champion was overtaken McLaren driver, Jenson Button, who climbed the podium number two in Singapore, with only a one point advantage.

Looking at the existing competitive landscape, Alonso said that he had a chance to become the runner-up after the world title is almost certainly remain on the shoulders of Sebastian Vettel, who won the Singapore GP. Just need one more point to retain his world title, and it could happen if on 9 October at Suzuka, Japan, she at least finish in the top 10.

Nonetheless, Alonso had to fight extra hard on five ultimate series. The reason is, there are four riders who have the same chances to occupy the rank two, namely Button, Alonso, Mark Webber (Red Bull Racing), and Lewis Hamilton (McLaren). Moreover, the difference in points they are very thin (see list).

"Of course there is the motivation (to finish in the order of two)," said Alonso. "It's difficult, but it is what you want, was the runner-up this competition."

"Also, the gap in the construction category with Red Bull and McLaren, 100 points ahead of Red Bull and McLaren nearly 100-lot, so if you can finish in the top two categories for the rider, of course very valuable for me."

The Spanish rider was also dismissed the notion that the tire becomes a major issue that he failed to compete in the leading position in the last few races. According to former Renault and McLaren racer, aerodynamics become the core problems facing the "Scuderia".

Petrov Sure About His Career in Renault

Petrov Sure About His Career in Renault

Vitaly Petrov took no notice of the tight rumors circulated about his future at Renault Lotus Grand Prix team. Russia's most successful rider of this feeling remains safe, despite speculation to mention that in the 2012 season he would be expelled from the team based in Enstone this.

8 September 1984-born rider is feeling still has a contract until next season. That is, he had no reason to worry, as long as can be demonstrated promising performance.

"I think everything is okay. This rumor is just rubbish news in the newspaper. As we discussed earlier, at the beginning of the season we signed a contract two years, and I do not see anything to worry about," said Petrov, whose name is skyrocketing thanks to the success in the arena of GP2.

Indeed, the future of Petrov continued to be a conversation. Although still under contract, did not rule out the possibility she was thrown if the Renault team changed its ownership status or get new sponsors to support the new rider.

This signal has shown the team principals, Eri Boullier, who talked about the situation of Petrov during the race at Monza. On the occasion, Boullier said, "you have a contract, but there is a clause to get out for anybody."

Now, about this statement Boullier, Petrov responded as follows. "Everywhere in the world, a contract can be terminated, but not because I am having a bad season or because I had difficulty getting points. The contract could end up as a separate thing, money. This is why he said this. If you asked him with a question different, maybe he can answer it differently. "

"For me, and people who know what I do, it is just rubbish to talk about, although maybe I'm not right."

Petrov also believes that this season he has developed good compared to last year. Moreover, its performance could be better than Nick Heidfeld, who was appointed in place of Robert Kubica is still in the recovery process. However, Petrov admits that his performance during the race was not satisfactory due to good luck on his side.

To convince the Renault camp that he still deserves to be maintained, Petrov must show good performance in Singapore Grand Prix this weekend. However, the results on the first day of free practice has not demonstrated that he could surprise.

Yes, the two free practice at the Marina Bay Circuit was, Petrov was thrown from the top 10. In fact, he was also unable to compete with Bruno Senna. In the first exercise, Petrov in the 18th (Senna to-16). As for the second practice, Petrov only able to ride the four strips to a sequence of 14, while Senna in the 12th position.

Remarkably, starting tomorrow, the second Red Bull car in the front row. Mark Webber accompanied his colleague, after he managed to fix it down to 1:44,732 and simultaneously shifting Hamilton.

With this formation, it is not possible to pave Vettel jumped forward at start. Provided that Webber did not make a mistake like that ever does. Until one, including Vettel as nervous, not impossible dilibas McLaren.

Because, looming behind the McLaren duo of Red Bull. Hamilton is behind Webber, who can easily overtake Vettel until startnya late colleague. And the McLaren engine today is very good, just a few complained Button car.

Vettel became immediately after producing the fastest time of 1:47,137. But, less than one minute, Hamilton with the McLaren MP4-26 go faster 0.123 seconds.

McLaren seem to find the engine performance. The proof, his teammate Hamilton, Button is able to sharpen the time of 1:47,014 to 1:46,993 hamilton. Vettel as not willing to be broken time and behind the leading edge with a 1:46,397 bedrkat hardest compound tire wear.

Sign In minute 10, McLaren cars suffered minor annoyance. Button complained of understeer. While Hamilton entered the pits for making mistakes at the corner 7 and the mechanics busy working on the car. Apparently, the best time Vettel will last until the end of qualifying I.



Q2: Kobayashi collision

When in Q1 rider there who use the hardest compound tire, a risk when used again in this session. As Alonso rely on super soft rubber Bunder, including Webber, Massa and others. Unless Button preferred compound l; unak and immediately skyrocketed with 1:45,72 seconds, but every few tens of seconds is shifted by Vettel became 1:44,913.

Qualifying was stopped five minutes due to Kobayashi, the Japanese rider to lose control. Sauber cars that dikemudikannya bulldoze curbs on chicane bends 10 and beat the sliding wall and heavily damaged.

Q3: Vettel great

Button out at first followed by the Ferrari duo and team mate Button, Hamilton. The atmosphere at the track like a real race, where McLaren and Ferrari are sticking together.

Just like the previous round, Button quickest return after carve 1:44,928. His teammate, Hamilton is able even faster 1:44,809. However, the greatness of the McLaren duo were beaten by Vettel who recorded 1:44,318.

After undergoing the first 5 minutes, the drivers entered the pits to change tires. If seen from the two previous qualifying, pole position would appear to be occupied by Vettel.

Senna Refuse His Uncle Shadow

Speaking of Bruno Senna, the Formula 1 fans would immediately direct the mind to the name of the legendary Brazilian driver, Ayrton Senna. This is because Bruno is the nephew of Ayrton Senna.

So, it's normal F1 fans have expectations high enough so that Bruno could repeat the triumph of Ayrton, who mastered the F1 arena in the era of the 1990s. Only, until now it (hope to samai Ayrton) can not be realized.

Senna set foot in the arena of new F1 in the 2010 season with the team Hispania. A year later, he digaet as third driver at Renault, and is now "up grade" to rider number two, as a replacement for Nick Heidfeld (Heidfeld was appointed to replace the injured Robert Kubica).

Well, now Senna was focused to face the race at the Marina Bay Circuit, Singapore. In a brief interview opportunities, Senna talks about his big-name relationship with her uncle.

Rider born October 15, 1983 is acknowledged, there are positive things from a big name Ayrton. Because, it's easier to attract sponsorship. However, he did not want to be associated with when dealing with menggeber Ayrton F1 car.

"The issue of race, there is no connection with the name," said Senna, in a press conference at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, Marina Bay, on Saturday (24.09.11). "I will only maximum effort to achieve good results," he added.

A little flashback, Ayrton including one of the legendary racer in the F1 arena, because the three-time world champion racing "pole" is, respectively in 1988, 1990, 1991. Unfortunately, the man born March 21, 1960, died tragically in an accident at the San Marino GP in 1994, while leading the race course.

Target 10 in Singapore

Regarding the target in the Singapore Grand Prix will take place on Sunday (25.09.11) night, Senna tried to be realistic. He just put up a target enters the top 10 in the race at the street circuit.

Senna, who last year had never felt the difficulty of this circuit when still with the team Hispania, disclose it due to the fact Renault are very difficult in Singapore. Because the layout of this track is not compatible with Renault, who liked the track straight and fast. Conversely, Sirkut Marina Bay dominated the corner quietly.

"I will try best to enter the top 10," said Senna,

Indeed, the difficulty had been apparent since free practice 1 and 2, which took place yesterday. In two sessions, Senna only able to be in the order of 16 and 12, so it is quite realistic if he had just set into the top 10 on the 14th race of this series.

One DRS Zone in Singapore GP

FIA, the governing body of Formula One, confirmed there is only one zone of DRS in the Singapore Grand Prix this weekend, on Wednesday (09/21/2011), in London. Determination of the zone DRS is done by taking into account the safety factor in the race at Marina Bay.

DRS is a system of reducing drag on the F1 car by moving the rear wing. If DRS is enabled, the car's speed will be faster and useful to overtake another car. However, this system has the risk of making the car unstable when used in the bend so it should only be used in a straight line.

According to FIA, DRS monitoring zone established after the third bend and the activation zone DRS after the fourth corner. DRS zone is the longest straight track in the Marina Bay.

With the DRS zone, fight antarpebalap expected to be more stringent and more attractive for spectators. Earlier, another car overtaking difficult on the Marina Bay race looks so boring.

World Title Has Loss for Webber

Red Bull Racing, Mark Webber, gave up on his chances to become world champion Formula 1 (F1) season 2011. Poor outcome in Monza, Italy on Sunday (11.09.11), which makes the Australian rider was not willing to continue his dream to embrace the most prestigious trophy in racing cars.

In the 12's series, Webber could scavenge hope to get points since the start of a sequence of five. But during the race, he had an accident that he failed to continue the race. Results actually achieved Sebastian Vettel on the contrary, because it's teammate on the podium first to embrace the eighth victory this season.

As a result, differences in points of two Red Bull is getting wider. If previously Webber just 92 points adrift and in the order of the two - although it has never won - they now have 117 points apart. Webber had now dropped to fourth, which stood at 167 points (the same as that collected McLaren driver, Jenson Button).

Mathematically, Webber still has a chance to catch up, because with the six remaining series then there is still a total of 150 points up for grabs. But look at the reality now, Webber will not wishing anymore. He was very pessimistic to catch Vettel. Therefore, Webber focused only to pursue the position of the two.

"I think now we're just fighting to be ranked two," said Webber told television reporters.

"I think Seb had been disappointed that would be very, very unusual in the rest of the season, if another rider can shift his position.

"He was in a great position. He has done a great job. And of course the car is very good today, so my chance was gone."

Nasil misfortune befall Webber when he brushed with Felipe Massa at the start of the race, after attempting to overtake the Ferrari, while fighting fifth position. As a result, his car broken front wing, and he lost control. In Parabolica corner, Webber could not control his car, which butting guardrail.

Not only was Webber who gave up chasing the world title. Massa's teammate, Fernando Alonso, who now occupy second position, also throwing a towel. 2005 and 2006 world champion admitted, with his present condition in which left 112 points, it is difficult to catch Vettel, who always look impressive in every series.

Alonso Give Up 2011 Title

Ferrari Fernando Alonso was third finishing touches F1 Italy (11 / 9) at the Monza circuit confirms that the title has flown. Although he acknowledged that could be on the podium all three are outstanding results. Moreover, the struggle was won at home in Scuderia.

"The three best results can be expected. I said yesterday (ahead of the race) that the podium in our grasp. And we get a good start with the preparation of the technicians who carried a maximum of two days," explained Alonso.

However, former world champion twice (2005 and 2006) were well aware of his success skyrocketed to the front off the first corner, not the actual position. "Sooner or later, we will pass (position). But it's still nice to see our fans cheering for laps with a low speed behind the safety car," added Alonso.

During the race, he continued, Vettel is much faster than us and passed him with ease. In situations like this, he chose to fight with McLaren. Admittedly, if the race plus a few laps longer, he would not be on the podium.

More disappointed Alonso's teammate, Felipe Massa, who finished sixth. Brasail rider has struggled to get on the podium. Unfortunately, his struggle to be disturbed by Mark Webber, who run over him so as to make its position slipped to 10th. "I am very disappointed because the condition of the car when the race is not bad," added Massa, who expects to be better in the next six races remaining.

Vettel Won at Ferrari Home Race - Monza

Fabulous performances Sebastian Vettel in the Italian F1 race on Sunday (11 / 9). Rider mainstay Red Bull Racing team won the 13th race series that took 53 laps with a travel time of 1 hour 20 minutes 46.172 seconds. This eighth victory this season and quinine firmly on top of the standings with a total of 284 points. His world champion title, will be determined in Singapore.

In this race at Monza circuit, Vettel arguably appear without hard work. He lost the leading position at start and his efforts only interrupted by the entry of the safety car. The new leading position can be taken from Fernando Alonso on lap 5 and continued to lead until after the race.


In this race Vettel chose to use the short gear ratio. In fact, the track known sooner. However, his decision and the team did not miss and he successfully reap victory.

Unfortunately, success did not follow his team mate Mark Webber who had to stop early. He could not control the car and crashed into the barrier wall.

McLaren won second place racer Jenson Button. In fact, he almost brushed with a senior driver Rubens Barrichello. If only he could not contain her emotions, scratching at the mouth of the pit entrance inevitable.

Who's Fernando Alonso won the third podium. The Spaniard is already doing a perfect start and successfully advanced into the first corner. Unfortunately, his efforts interrupted by an incident in the middle row, so that the SC must be entered. Even the third ladder opportunities, also nearly won Hamilton in the last lap. Ferrari is less taut than the McLaren and Red Bull

Vettel made the short gear ratios

At the start, Alonso made a motion bulldoze perfectly with Hamilton and Vettel on the inside track. Tactics were running smoothly and he could be on the front, but the "safety car" (SC) should enter the track due to a severe collision.

Liuzzi twist car from behind and into the first corner beat Petrov (Renault) and Nico Rosberg (Mercedes) and Barrichello into the pits instead of asking a new snout.

On lap 3, the SC came in and re-started. But in lap 5 yellow flag flew as there are fragments of the car that struck the back of Webber's and Felipe Massa not being able to control the car at the "S" corner. Although Red Bull's second driver to accelerate the car without a front wing, but in sharp turns the car straight and run into the wall.

Vettel was performed brilliantly he succeeded to take over the leadership from Alonso on lap 5. RB7 seem driven very tight in the corners from the German driver. It uses the shorter gear ratios, so that when the outside corner can be quickly skyrocketed. Despite the longest distance for a tooth carried out between 400-500 meters.

Marvelous surprise from Michael Schumacher driving skills. Former Ferrari driver was able to poke the third at start and maintained that position until lap 10. Efforts to try to do 11 laps around the corner Parabolica from the outside, but Schumacher does not give room to move. To the extent that Button was stuck behind Hamilton and McLaren continue to stick to the second car behind the Mercedes until lap16.

Hamilton trying to overtake from the inside at the Curva Grande to comb the grass, still to no avail. That move make Button can pass and enter the pits to change tires in 18 laps, two laps later followed Hamilton into the pit.

Former world champion in 2008 is not satisfied because Button had a change of tires. These changes result from his mistakes when trying to overtake Schumacher. It was through the radio complain about how driving Schumacher. And finally, on lap 28 he managed to bulldoze the Mercedes driver in the Ascari corner.

Now, turn to try to bulldoze Button Alonso on lap 29 in one corner and his efforts have not succeeded. While Button-distance race leader Vettel Alonso with 13.6 seconds adrift. While Hamilton is more than 22 seconds behind Vettel from too long in the back of Schumacher.

Button is trying to enter pit almost touched each other because they feel the course is covered by Barrichello on lap 34 which was also directing his car to the pits. However, Button had the opportunity both won second place from Alonso, who also entered the pit to change tires 35 laps. His efforts were achieved on lap 37 and finished third Alonso.

While Vettel increasingly outpacing his opponent. Button the looming second 15.7 seconds left. Only technical problems that could derail the car racers step German.
