Turkish puncture Petrova

Despite the fact that Vitaly Petrov again failed to score points without personal achievements Turkish Grand Prix Renault driver has not left - Russian for the first time in his career came in the top ten skills for the first time showed the best lap time throughout the race. The first Russian citizen in the history of Formula 1 continues to perform with differences. Following the take-off invariably follows the fall, often all that Petrov is experiencing within the boundaries of a single Grand Prix. Here in Turkey, it all began for Vitali is very promising: in Saturday's free practice, he showed good 10-th time, which added optimism to the qualification. In addition, the Turkish track was for Petrova is not a novelty - here he has repeatedly spoken back when the pilot GP2. Plus, the Russian really wanted to redeem his failure in Monaco and the second time in his career to finish in the points. And what also was the general surprise when in the first segment of training Petrov marked their claims, showing the fourth time (1:27,620), and beating his team-mate Robert Kubica, and half a dozen distinguished artists such as Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso . The first part of the same skills won by Sebastian Vettel of irrepressible Red Bull. In the second segment of training Vitali has improved his time - 1:27,387, but this was only enough for seventh place, which, however, did not prevent him for the first time in his career to break into the top ten. In this case, there is the second consecutive year was no place for double world champion Fernando Alonso, who in the good old habit, immediately went to complain to the press on her hard life and the lack of competitiveness of Ferrari. In principle, inviting the enfant terrible of modern Formula 1 team should have understood that sooner or later, the Spaniard will start to wash dirty linen in public. And if the leadership Scuderia is a revelation, it can only admire their children's innocence. Complained about the problem and Sebastian Vettel, is hardly the first time confronted with problems exactly in qualifying. Championed two segments of the pilot, in the third started a wide entrance into the turns, which resulted in a loss of time and roll back from first place to third. At the end of qualifying for the car Vettel was discovered fairly serious failure - worn out sway bar front axle. Because of this, in the slow corners jammed one of the front wheels. Initially, however, the team became sin on the braking system, but the survey RB6 did not confirm this version. In the third part of the qualification of Petrov, who has appeared in eight of the best drivers in Formula-1 and Kamui Kobayashi of Sauber, above the head could not jump and finished ninth. "Wow finally get to the third segment of training and start the race from ninth place. While this step is really smooth, no problems, but engineers and mechanics worked very well and the car I was completely satisfied, - said Russian press service Renault. - The machine was easy to administer, and with each session, we gradually increased the tempo. So I was sure that eventually will be in the top ten. Now I'm looking forward to the opportunity to compete at the start, I hope, dial points for the team. " As for the pole position, it was the third time this season won the Mark Webber ahead, in addition to his running mate, and Lewis Hamilton at McLaren. The last stage before the Turkish experiencing not the best band in his career - this season on account of the British was not a single victory or one pole position and only two podium. However, everything changed when her boyfriend came to support the singer of Pussycat Dolls and Nicole Scherzinger just beautiful. Put up a such a fan - the mind boggles!

But her face was not as nice as Nicole. It is a world champion on hockey in the Russian team of Alexander Radulov, who visited the booths on the eve of the race Red Bull, talked with the pilots and sat behind the wheel of cars. Radulov in hockey is famous, above all, his energy and aggressiveness. That he often charges the whole team. However, the "bulls" of the charge, apparently, did not stand in the race and decided to fight with each other for life and death. That in the end and realize. The race is surprisingly passed without incident. Vettel and Webber went into the lead. Hamilton had come with them. Alonso is also active, trying to attack Vitaly Petrov, this time not aggressively managed to start. In turn, Russian did not give to relax Felipe Massa. All pilots are firmly settled in their positions, and all the traffic going through the regular pit stops. It seemed that everything goes according to plan, Red Bull. However, in the middle of the race "bulls" have forced his team to grab the head. With Webber in the lead car came alongside Vettel. Both have decided to play a game of "Who was the first swerve, but nobody wanted to concede. German car hit the Australian car, and they both flew off the track, clearing the way to the podium for the pilots of McLaren. As a result of the accident Vettel on the road and never returned, and Webber, spinning around its axis, was behind Hamilton and Button. "This is a disaster - so you can translate from obscene statement Webber after the race. - But this sometimes happens. We walked in front of everyone, but we can not say that it was a guaranteed win, because the front was still a lot of laps. But I am glad that I managed to keep the car on the track. " "I think everybody saw that I was on the inside track and began to move outward - to justify Vettel. - At that point I was ahead and have concentrated on stopping when Webber touched my wheel and I flew. It was not a fight. These things happen in racing. " Extreme disappointment expressed after the race adviser Red Bull motorsport Helmut Marko, who said that after the Turkish Grand Prix riders will face a serious conversation with the leadership team. "We missed the winning double. I have no words - he said. - We thought that Red Bull are the responsible people who should not have allowed such a situation. We carefully analyze the incident and will collect a serious discussion of all those concerned. To begin with, we always tell them: a collision with each other are not allowed. Whatever happens, they should give each other space on the highway. " Following his duel with Red Bull pilots something like that and tried to figure Racers McLaren. Benefit of ambition or Hamilton, or Baton, already managed to become champions, not to occupy. However, the mind is not clean each other off the track they have had enough. As with Michael Schumacher with Nico Rosberg, also quietly get to your destination.

That she is the first and congratulated him on his victory on internal communication. The second came to the finish Button, and the third - Webber. "I am disappointed with the result, but nevertheless, I really enjoyed the race - said after the race Petrov. - I had good chances in the fight with Fernando Alonso. He tried to pass me, and while trying to overtake our cars touched, and I got a puncture. I have suffered a misfortune. I am very sorry that I missed the points late in the race, but I hope that in Canada, I am still able to score. " Supported Petrova and Renault boss Eric Bouyer, for the umpteenth time already announced that the Russian was worth more. "Overall the weekend stood out successful. Both machines work fine for the first time this season both our riders were in the top ten skills - he said. - The race to show our strength and the progress we have made. Vitali looked good throughout the Grand Prix. Especially in a race where he has imposed against the pilots Ferrari. But he was a little unlucky. He was worthy of more after such a strong weekend.
