Re: Formula 1 General Chat & Discussion

Alonso joked saying that: ' if tomorrow in the football he conquers Spain, it is possible that he does not find anybody in the pit stops, because almost they all are Italian '.
Alonso's good humor.

Rain : no

Comment of the qualification :
Sebastian Vettel grabbed his second pole position of the 2012 Formula 1 season with a comfortable 0.3-second margin in Canadian Grand Prix qualifying. The Red Bull driver's cushion was surprisingly ample given that just 0.8s had covered 17 cars in Q1 and the whole Q2 field had been within a second.
Vettel started Q3 on provisional pole with a 1m13.905s and was not headed thereafter, as he improved to 1m13.784s on his second run to put himself further out of reach.
McLaren's Lewis Hamilton will join Vettel on the front row, having grabbed second from Fernando Alonso's Ferrari with his second Q3 attempt. Alonso looked like a pole threat until a disappointing final sector on his best lap left him to settle for third. Mark Webber completes the top four in the second Red Bull, followed by Nico Rosberg in the leading Mercedes - four places ahead of team-mate Michael Schumacher - and Felipe Massa's Ferrari in sixth.
Romain Grosjean reached Q3 for Lotus and claimed seventh but his team-mate Kimi Raikkonen did not make it into the pole shoot-out, only managing 12th in Q2.
Force India's Paul di Resta made his second Q3 appearance of the year and earned eighth on the grid.
Jenson Button avoided a third consecutive Q2 elimination, but only just. The McLaren driver sat 10th at the end of the second segment and looked in grave danger of being edged out by Pastor Maldonado, only for the Spanish GP winner to spin his Williams into the wall at the final chicane, leaving him 17th. Button will start 10th, having spoiled one set of super softs by locking up. The second Williams of Bruno Senna was only one place ahead of Maldonado in 16th. Also out in Q2 were both Saubers - with Kamui Kobayashi just 0.008s shy of a Q3 spot in 11th and Sergio Perez back in 15th - the Force India of Nico Hulkenberg and the Toro Rosso of Daniel Ricciardo.
After his morning practice crash, Ricciardo's team-mate Jean-Eric Vergne's underwhelming Saturday continued as a mistake on his best lap saw the Frenchman exiting qualifying in Q1 for the fourth time in his first seven grands prix. Not only was he knocked out, but Vergne was outqualified by both Caterhams and will start 20th.
In another Q1 surprise, Pedro de la Rosa put his HRT 21st on the grid, beating both Marussias.


Tomorrow ( sunday) at 20.00u CET wil be the race !

Comment of the 3rd practice session :
Sebastian Vettel edged out Fernando Alonso to set the fastest time in a very close final Canadian Grand Prix practice session in Montreal. ust 0.006 seconds split Vettel's Red Bull and Alonso's Ferrari, with Lewis Hamilton taking third for McLaren, and Mark Webber (Red Bull) and Pastor Maldonado (Williams) completing the top five.
The session had seen plenty of activity at the top of the timesheets even before the late switches to super soft tyres. Jenson Button's McLaren emerged ahead once the early runs had been completed, but he was soon usurped by Vettel, who set benchmarks of first 1m15.440s then 1m15.022s to sit in first place at the mid-way point.
Alonso beat him soon afterwards, clocking a 1m14.737s despite locking up into the final chicane, although the Ferrari's time in front was very short-lived as Hamilton went 0.025s quicker mere seconds later.
Continuing the close action, when Vettel reclaimed the top spot with 16 minutes to go, his 1m14.711s was just 0.001s faster than the McLaren.
As more and more drivers moved onto super softs, Alonso was the first to really exploit their potential with a 1m14.448s nine minutes from the chequered flag.
That held up until Vettel came through a scant 0.006s faster six minutes later. The German turned traffic into an advantage as he grabbed a tow from Michael Schumacher's Mercedes. Vettel then went quicker still in the first two sectors on his final lap before lost time in the final part of the lap, although his existing 1m14.442s was sufficient to secure first position.
Two drivers will go into qualifying with no Saturday running at all. Nico Rosberg's Mercedes cut out and parked on track on a very early installation lap, while Toro Rosso's Jean-Eric Vergne ended up parked in the Turn 2 tyres after making a mess of Turn 1 on his first flying lap.
There may be issues for Kimi Raikkonen as well, with the Lotus driver under investigation for making a last-minute swerve into the pitlane after a mistake at the final chicane.
Just 1.056s covered the top 16 cars, as the Montreal times remained typically close. Behind the leaders, Felipe Massa maintained his encouraging form for Ferrari in sixth, followed by Schumacher, Lotus duo Romain Grosjean and Raikkonen, and Force India's Nico Hulkenberg. Jenson Button was only 15th for McLaren and expressed concern about brake balance issues over the radio.

90 minutes to go before the qualifying begins !!!!

Comment of 2nd session :

Lewis Hamilton carried on where he left off in the second practice session at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
The McLaren driver headed the times at the end of the session, followed by the two Ferraris.
Hamilton was comfortably quickest in the opening part of the session, running on soft tyres and gradually lowering his best time. He only found a slight improvement when he switched to the super-soft tyres, lowering his best to a 1’15.259.
Fernando Alonso was second-quickest despite spinning at turn nine early in the session. Sebastian Vettel was fourth following a reprimand for his contact with Senna in the first session.
The teams began the session eagerly, the weather radars telling them to expect rain halfway through. But, as in the last race, the forecasts proved pessimistic, and the tracks remained dry throughout.
Paul di Resta, fifth, was another driver who had an off-track moment, spinning at turn one when he locked his brakes.
For the second session in a row a crash brought out the red flags. This time the culprit was Bruno Senna, who hit the ‘Wall of Champions’ at the exit of the final turn. The Williams driver lost control of his car in the first part of the chicane. As he tried to straighten it up the rear end snapped away and he went into the wall backwards. Senna admitted afterwards he had been “frustrated” by getting into traffic on his lap. The session restarted with just under half an hour remaining. Heikki Kovalainen, who crashed in the first practice session, was able to return to the track in his repaired Caterham.
But Jenson Button spent most of the session in the pits as a continuation of his problems from first practice necessitated a gearbox change. There was less than 20 minutes left on the clock when he finally joined the session.
Button did a 14-lap run at the end of the session, moving up to ninth place. The top 13 were covered by less than three-quarters of a second.

Tomorrow saturday at 16.00u till 17.00u CET will be the 3rd practice session ,followed at 19.00u Cet with the qualification !

Re: Formula 1 General Chat & Discussion

Comment of the 1st practice session :

Lewis Hamilton was fastest for McLaren in the opening free practice session for the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal.
A two-time winner at Montreal, the Briton edged out Sebastian Vettel's Red Bull by just over a tenth of a second, with Nico Rosberg's Mercedes third. It was Lotus duo Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean exchanged the top spot initially, before Rosberg and Hamilton made it their own private battle for the rest of the session. First Rosberg put in a 1m16.837s 20 minutes in to depose Raikkonen, then Hamilton replied with a 1m16.080s seven minutes later.
The McLaren would stay in front for almost the rest of the session - deposed only for mere moments with 20 minutes to go when Rosberg did a 1m15.782s that Hamilton instantly answered with a 1m15.564s.
Rosberg was among several drivers who then tried super soft tyres in the closing stages, as with rain forecast for the afternoon, Mercedes, Red Bull, Lotus, Nico Hulkenberg, Daniel Ricciardo and the HRTs all chose to try the softer rubber earlier than usual. But the Mercedes did not go any quicker than it had on softs, so Hamilton retained first position, and Rosberg found himself pushed down to third right at the end when Vettel squeezed into second place on super softs.
Vettel may have to take a trip to the stewards' office between sessions, as he is under investigation for an incident where he took a shortcut over the final chicane to pass Bruno Senna's Williams and ensure clear track for the start of a flying lap.
Fernando Alonso was the quickest Ferrari driver in fourth, with team-mate Felipe Massa 12th as the pair evaluated different exhaust layouts. Mark Webber completed the top five in the second Red Bull, following by Hulkenberg's Force India, the Saubers of Kamui Kobayashi and Sergio Perez, and Michael Schumacher's Mercedes.
Jenson Button was 10th despite his McLaren only managing 12 laps before it was sidelined in the garage with an oil leak.
Thirteen minutes of running were lost just after the mid-way point when Heikki Kovalainen put his Caterham into the wall on the exit of the Turn 8/9 chicane, doing substantial damage to the car's right-hand side. Kovalainen emerged unscathed. The rest of the field confined themselves to minor trips over the grass and asphalt run-offs.
