at least had to sweat ...
4 th victory of Vettel
The new rules began to take effect: after the vibrant career in China and Turkey, around the world longed to see whether once sleepy Grand Prix of Spain also became a race worth watching. For that we need several ingredients: first, tires or unwilling to do, namely, requiring a soft 4 stops and a superhard terrifyingly slow, that the pilots did not hesitate condemn, secondly, a zone of Drs generous. For some like me, was too broad, but it was a success, since nobody was able to stick to less than 4 tenths of its prey after the last curve, and that made the expectation of overtaking DRS provide bypass rather simple and Turkey, let's add a few pinches of Webber on pole (to the chagrin of Vettel), and Fernando Alonso , the hero at home, with a perfect lap to be only 4 º , but with many moral horse. In between, Lewis Hamilton did not quite know what to think, at bottom, was Meoro go unnoticed in Barcelona: one forget 2007 and the torrent of hatred generated against the English.
And so, as the weekend progressed without major problems (if we take the odd spoiler banned, now, for contravening the spirit of the rule, or a scorched Renault), we planted on the grill. The heat rose to about 28 degrees in the room at 2 in the afternoon
. The players got in his car after the obligatory visit to the toilet. Helmets, seat belts fastened, to start the show.
Some said that if you work at Red Bull's KERS, if Lewis would Elf 2 nd or 1 st ... No one spoke of this to Fernando Alonso, who marked a departure anthology. Perfect ripped from the dirty area, the McLaren of Hamilton (with a priori, a better clutch) was beaten by 60 meters, then slipstreaming Vettel, undaunted by their changes of address to overtake Webber, then tow the Australian , and within touching the grass. Sublime.
So, Fernando was 1, with Vettel, Webber and H Amilton behind. Button had been plunged into a disastrous exit, while Petrov had put on 5 th and prevented any threat in the form of Mercedes. Alonso also plug itself, first with a much smaller car, but without allowing Vettel came near him. That provoked a reaction Instant Red Bull: Vettel on lap 9 in . No matter which came out in traffic, had to try to overtake Alonso and out. Sebastian made a 10 th round of the first category, ahead of a cold rolling Button, Massa and Rosberg. However, Alonso and Webber stopped on lap 10 and held the lead English.
A race he had a lot of material to cut, but Sister pressive Vettel stopped a second time on lap 18 . This was not in any plan, "would perhaps 5? His solo around the Circuit de Catalunya brought him to stop soon after Alonso did not serve to retain German. Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton had not given way to panic and went on until lap 11 his first stint, three less than Button, and Turkey to try to go to 3 using a little tactical sense and saving wheels. The second stop of Tewin occurred in the 23, 5 later than Vettel. His second stint was brilliant and that meant that after making his stop came ahead of Alonso, even though the Ferrari was 4 laps on new tires.
leadership opened Vettel and Hamilton followed him as he could , meanwhile, contained Alonso Webber after she had stopped the two on lap 29 for 3rd time and hard place, something unusual; in turn, Button bets appeared on the podium: his stop on lap 30 he did have a soft bright 8 laps in which they hunted. Mark tried in the Caixa, unsuccessfully, and then there was Jens and flashed them. It seemed that the 3 stops you would actually go faster Button, despite the new wheels rivals enjoyed almost the same time he, due to the earliness of their stops.
As you can tell, all the talk about chronic laps in a stint and worn tires, and that promises to be the variable throughout the year: the tires. Even more than the DRS (and of course the KERS) that will Pirelli talk to your bet aggressively wear.
Lewis Hamilton started to reduce the lead Vettel (while the world champion was struggling to counter the early initial stops with the most logical strategy of Lewis), so faced totally stuck on the last stint with the Hamilton DRS range effect and cutting 5 / 10 each time they passed down the long main straight Catalunya. Overtaking seemed imminent, China is going to repeat ... but knew Vettel sought an advantage of 0.9 if passed by the Caixa, and that prevented Lewis from coming within 0.7 each time made the chicane RACC. It gave him sufficient advantage to the line maintain the lead. If you put a primer due McLaren would not have made the 4 th stop before Seb. That would have given a more realistic option than going after them, but ... Webber
surpassed
While Alonso, and leaders bent undeservedly to Alonso but could not do, the race threw the curtain. Lewis intimidated, but Sebastian Vettel drove faultlessly to the finish line. Carrerón. And this time had to Curran.
