Bustler and brake

Russian rider Vitaly Petrov again Renault has not reached the finish line of the next phase of "Formula 1". This time he summed up the brakes. The winner is the Monaco Grand Prix was the Mark Webber of Red Bull. Gold double bulls designed by Sebastian Vettel. Even last year, Vitaly Petrov traveled the streets of Monte Carlo budding pilot series GP2, and now - he was a prize pilot Do not let the elite, but it is combat-ready team "Formula 1". Who could say what, but the first in the history of the Royal race "Russian pilot had already made a big deal. However, success should be developed. Fortunately, according to a management team Renault, all the prerequisites for Vitali has. So far, however, he lacks good luck. After a brilliant performance at the Chinese Grand Prix in Petrova literally everything goes wrong. For example, in Spain and already not very strong performance in qualifying aggravated by the loss of five seats on the grid due to replacement by bolide gear that dropped him to 19 th place. The entire race Petrov fought desperately and win back seats, but to the spectacle of his band were just one step - finish our athlete at the 11 th position. However, the main thing for his development has been expressed his full confidence in the leadership. Renault boss Eric Bouyer reassured him and all the Russian fans, saying that everything is going wrong, and hurriedly "Formula 1" are taking is not all. Like, a young rider takes time and hard everyday work. And only then can one fine day to ascend the podium. Immediately, however, remembered Lewis Hamilton, in his first season nearly became the champion and the second to correct this misunderstanding, but let's face it, the young Briton - are all the same thing. Such as, say, Cristiano Ronaldo in football or LeBron James in basketball. But there are opposite examples of pilots, not very successfully started a career, but became so great that in this they start not even believe it. Get at least Michael Schumacher and Nelson Piquet. And Peter, by the way, has already scored points more than they put together in their first seasons. But good luck to him, of course, can not hurt. While much of his gatherings lies on the conscience of the team. Naturally, one could argue that mechanics can not withstand aggressive manner Vitali. But look at the manner of Fernando Alonso! Prior to his aggressiveness Petrov is still very far away, but breaking the Spaniard in a Ferrari does not roll in like a horn of plenty. A Russian in his Renault avtovazovskom only twice in six attempts to reach the finish line. Here in Monaco, all did not happen from the beginning. Even despite the fact that the trail passes through the narrow streets of Monte Carlo is quite a happy for Vitali. Last year he took second place here on the stage of GP2. On the familiar route Petrov good place to start the first part of training, showing седьмое time. In the second segment for some time he even headed the table, ahead of Massa with Schumacher. However, in the short time he slid over to 13th place, and when rushed losses, lost control and crashed into a crash barrier. At this qualification it was finished. And his teammate Robert Kubica managed to get right on to second place.

Very sorry for Vitaly, because he did a good job throughout the weekend, and could break into a third session. This is a reminder that Monaco is very easy to get into an accident. " "We've made big changes to the qualification that allows to count on getting into the third session today. But, unfortunately, in the second segment I struggled with the balance of the brakes and my front wheels all the time blocked - not hide his disappointment Petrov. - I tried to change the brake balance and move it to the back, but got too much on my first fastest lap of the rear wheels are locked, I unfolded it, and I ran into a barrier. My purpose in tomorrow's race is the finish line. Revenge at the start will be very difficult, but can happen any, and I hope that I can gain some points. " The names of two other pilots, ranked in the top three, really, soon quite lost sense of call. Naturally, they became kings of qualification this season - Red Bull drivers Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel. Then - without any surprises. Amused but a clear assignment of ranks of outsiders. In addition to not start Fernando Alonso, whose car did not have time to recover after a training accident in the third practice, the last places were all pilots Virgin, Lotus, and HTR. Recent everything else can and does withdraw from the championship after the next phase, which is scheduled for May 30. By this time, the team may not have spare parts for cars and the purchase of new money from HRT not. We add to this team who was born dead US F1, as well as horrific results of other novices, and obtain the complete failure of the operation to expand the "Formula 1". As for the race, fears Vitali was not in vain. What famous Russian pilot - a great start and brilliant overtaking - a narrow trail Monaco Grand Prix leveled. In addition, the complexity of the route requires that the pilot was collected at 100% throughout the race. What is also not a strong point Petrova, continuing to practice the tactics Hussar swoop. Two accidents at the beginning of the race only confirmed - in the Monte Carlo should always be alert. First, Nico Hulkenberg of Williams crashed into a tunnel wall, and after Jenson Button burnt engine of his McLaren. And after the gathering was clear - the coming change of leadership in the championship. Especially because the two main his pursuer - Webber and Vettel - already at the start ousted from second place and Kubica led the peloton.

Among them were particularly Alonso managed to climb from last place in the points zone, and Petrov, who won two positions. However, it was the last good luck Russians on this day. After a few laps, he got a puncture and went on an unscheduled visit to the boxes. To replace the wheel took time because of what Vitali once missed in front of a dozen cars behind the circle. In addition, he has left behind the safety car, so overtaking Vitaly already it was impossible. His 13th place Petrov kept frantically, without knowing anyone. However, to get above him and there was almost no chance. And late in the race he did come down because of problems with the brakes. The very same that so hindered his skills. But Kubica, apparently not hurt anything - it was like at the start of the third, as third and finished. The first and second place and left a "bulls" Webber and Vettel. Such an arrangement made them equal to each other on points and led both the first place. "I'm in seventh heaven! - Declared the winner of the race, Mark Webber. - It is certainly one of the best days of my life since winning at Monaco - a special achievement. This race was a real test for two hours. Enter the number of winners Monaco Grand Prix, including Ayrton Senna and other drivers - it's great! We are optimistic about the future, and today have achieved the maximum result. Now we must try to repeat it as often as possible. " Monaco Grand Prix. Race 1. Mark Webber (Red Bull) - 1:54,605; 2.
