Road chariot!

The next stage of a Formula-1 Grand Prix of Germany, saw the double of Ferrari and a grand scandal involving pilots of the Italian "stable". Russian Renault driver Vitaly Petrov for the second time in his career finished in the points. "Formula 1" less and less goes without scandals. "The Royal Race" and had not been a beacon and a gentleman of fair play, but recently a rare stage passes without any internal or external conflict. No further, as during the British Grand Prix, Mark Webber seriously quarreled with his entire team after the Red Bull management has decided to rearrange the front wing of the car on the Australian car first pilot "stable" Sebastian Vettel, who broke her safely. In order to tell their "brother-soldiers" as they are not right, Mark had to win the race, and then mockingly said on the command radio: "What a good idea for the co-pilot?". However, in less than one phase, as thunder struck again. And it does not say that "dolbanulo" where not expected. Ferrari - a team which does not recognize equality of pilots, and even to the same driving scarlet bolide prance such a complex personality, as Fernando Alonso, who during his career has anyone not normally get along. Felipe Massa also racer, not without ambition. Therefore, it was doubly difficult to do what he asked shortly before the finish of the boxes. But first things first. Pilots Ferrari dominated in Germany from the start the race weekend. In the free rides they showed the best results could only cling to the qualifications for the SPOILERS fireballs Red Bull, which beat the speed, apparently, no one expects. But here, "Scuderia" leapt above his head, losing only Vettel, Webber while leaving only the fourth line. The momentum of McLaren drivers are located on the fifth and sixth places, and a dozen riders were suddenly both Williams - Rubens Barrichello and Nico Hulkenberg. To the disappointment of local fans, Michael Schumacher was only 11-m. Vitaly Petrov, the Renault was consistently 13-m. Start the race was marked by the failure of the bulls: Vettel immediately skipped ahead Alonso and Massa, Webber and pushed Hamilton. Do not stay aside and Petrov, modestly won back one position. But it is, something to fight for. Last week, a new force were rumors of dissatisfaction with the results of its management team. Candidates to replace him are Sebastien Buemi and Kimi Raikkonen. The determining factor of whether there will be a Russian in Renault or not, are the results for the second half of the season, and the results expected of him already in the next races. However, Buemi instead Petrova - not only as flea markets. He looks no better than Russians, despite the fact that the "big prizes", he spends the second season. Aggravating circumstance for Vitali is just the fact that the car had still slightly faster than the Toro Rosso. In Germany, Buemi has issued its fourth gathering this year, do not share the road with his same team-mate Jaime Alguersuari. A little later, stopped the race and Jarno Trulli of Lotus. Cup Designers Place Team Points 1 300 2 McLaren Red Bull Ferrari 272 3 208 4 132 5 Mercedes Renault in 1996 fell short of the aspirations of the German fans of Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher of Mercedes. The latter - even more. Surrounded by pilots Renault, he could not get around Robert Kubica. True, and Petrova did not want to skip ahead of him. However, Vitaly no shade, and every now and then swoop honored veteran hussar attack. And only at the end of the race just behind the more experienced comrade. But as he walked to the elegant turn of Kamui Kobayashi and Rubens Barrichello! Pleasure to see it. Vettel is the only hope of Germany, all race drivers drove Ferrari. Only Sebastian shorten its lead as representatives of "Scuderia" again came off at a respectful distance. Themselves as leaders in the face of Massa, Alonso, Vettel, Hamilton, Button and Webber for the rest of the peloton was just out of reach. A terrible shame - 7-th pilot comes to the finish line with a lag of a circle. And all would have been good for Ferrari, if management suddenly remembered about the glorious times of the early twentieth century, when Barrichello at the Austrian Grand Prix-2001 on the orders of the boxes at the finish was forced to skip ahead Schumacher, who is the victory in perspective does not specifically needed. Then, I remember it all is not well reflected in the command relationships. But, apparently, so never learned anything, "Scuderia". And this time it was repeated almost up. For 20 laps to go was walking when he heard the first array of intercom: "Fernando faster than you. We hope you understand the meaning of messages. " And the Mass understood. After some time, he reluctantly missed Alonso ahead, and he raced to his second victory of the season. In this case, the Brazilian began work a such a buffer between the leader and the persecutors. Meanwhile, Petrov, who was holding behind Schumacher and was walking 11 m, waited for the same care into the pits de la Rosa, the last of dozens in the lead, who did not stop to refuel, and moved into the points zone. However, he immediately received an indication from the team earlier transition to the 7 th gear and make it "clearer and clearer." The task was clear - to save fuel, reduce tire wear and easy to get to the finish.

And the winner is already determined at the finish - the German set a record of the route - 1:15:824. But winning the race Alonso is unlikely to greatly upset. Unlike his teammate, who consoled himself after finishing boss Stefano Domenicali, congratulated him with a "great race" and added that afterwards he will explain everything. Petrov after a string of failures, punctures and technical difficulties, finally took a step forward for the second time in his career reached the finish in the points. One point - no big deal, but Down and Out the trouble started! Whether such results is sufficient for the team? We'll see. Perhaps this is just a psychological barrier that Vitali had to pass. Even after the race management Ferrari was due to the stewards, who decided to fine the team for $ 100,000 for the intentional influence on the result. In their view, was violated paragraph 39.1 Sporting Regulations "Formula 1", which states that "team orders which affect the outcome of the race, is prohibited. In addition, the judges decided that the team violated the rules item 151c of the International FIA, under which "any fraud or any act prejudicial to competition or sports in general, are prohibited. "Scuderia" stated that it is not going to appeal this decision. Now it's "Alonso - Massa" will be parsed at a meeting of the World Council of FIA, which may adopt additional sanctions if it finds guilty team. Management Ferrari hopes that the Council had "correctly interpreted the situation." "We had to ensure the best result for the team - Domenicali said. - And we are very glad that we could win today, winning the double. We thought that Felipe was driving slower than Alonso, and his catch. It is in this is the reason. I think it makes no sense to speak long on this subject. Yes, team tactics prohibited by the rules, but the interests of the team - above all else. In the course of the fight no one interfered. The main thing - is that Ferrari drivers took the first two places. I do not think that the FIA ??will be some questions to our team, but if you will - we are ready. " Alonso on the award looked pleased with himself and obviously does not even allow the thought that the victory they were not deserved. "We - professional racers - he said. - We are on the same team and are always trying to achieve maximum results. We have made some progress in recent races, but today put it in the result. The team is satisfied, and the press can write anything you want. " The really disappointed there was only Massa, who said that was worthy of winning, but the fact that the order of the boxes declined comment. Formula-1. German Grand Prix. Race 1.
