nelson piquet


Nelson Piquet Souto Maior born August 17, 1952), known as Nelson Piquet, is a Brazilian former racing driver. He was Formula One world champion in 1981, 1983 and 1987. He is one of eight drivers to win three or more world championships, the others being Jack Brabham, Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda, Ayrton Senna (3 each), Alain Prost (4), Juan Manuel Fangio (5), and Michael Schumacher (7). In 1983, he became the only driver to win the F1 championship in a BMW engined car.
Piquet was born in Rio de Janeiro, then the capital of Brazil, the son of Estácio Gonçalves Souto Maior, a Brazilian politician. His father moved his family to the new capital, Brasília, in 1960 and became Minister for Health in João Goulart's government (1961–64). Piquet started kart racing at the age of 14, but because his father did not approve of his racing career, he used his mother's maiden name Piquet (of French origin and pronounced as "Pee-Kè") misspelt as Piket to hide his identity.
After participating in Brazilian go-karting (1971 and 1972 national champion) and in the local Formula Super Vee 1976 championship, on the advice of Emerson Fittipaldi, the first Brazilian Formula One world champion who sold the chassis for the Brazilian Formula Vee champion car with his brother, he arrived in European motor sports hailed as a prodigy. In the 1978 British Formula 3 season he broke Jackie Stewart's record of the most wins in a season.
Piquet made his Formula One debut for Ensign in Germany, where he made an impressive debut starting 21st only to retire on lap 31 with a broken engine. For the next three races he switched to the McLaren of BS Fabrications were he finished ninth in Italy. For the last race in 1978, Piquet moved to the Brabham team; he qualified in 14th and finished 11th. Piquet stayed with Brabham until 1985.In 1979 Piquet took his first points in the Dutch Grand Prix finishing fourth. He also took fastest lap in the last race of the season. In 1980 he took his first win at the United States Grand Prix West, and finished second in the drivers' standings, 13 points behind title winner Alan Jones. In 1981 he won the title with three wins, only one point ahead of Carlos Reutemann. The following year, Piquet was fast but his car was unreliable, and he only managed to win in Canada, in BMW's first win in Formula One. The lowpoint of the season was Detroit where he failed to qualify due to an engine failure in qualifying. In Germany, he was leading the Grand Prix until he collided with Eliseo Salazar, after which he physically attacked Salazar at the side of the track. Piquet won his second title in 1983 after a long battle with Alain Prost. It also was the first time a turbocharged car won the championship. In 1984 Piquet again suffered from unreliability, taking pole position nine times but only winning twice. In his last season with Brabham he took one win, in France. It also was the last victory for the Brabham team.
A move in 1986 to Williams saw Piquet becoming the team-mate of one of his fiercest rivals, Nigel Mansell. Both were regarded as highly strung characters with delicate temperaments. Two top drivers in the same team was a recipe for fireworks - and sure enough Mansell and Piquet went head to head for the title. Though the two drove the best cars on the grid, their rivalry caused each to deprive the other of points, allowing Alain Prost to win one of the closest and most fiercely disputed championships ever in F1. Ironically in this season Piquet won one more race (a total of four) than he would in any of his championship-winning campaigns. Piquet made amends in 1987, using political maneuvering and technical skill to gain the upper hand. Despite winning fewer races than Mansell, in 1987 Piquet emerged as world champion. When Piquet followed the dominant Honda engines to a stagnating Lotus team in 1988, his career took a nose dive. He began to lose his reputation when he had no wins in 1988 and even failed to qualify on one occasion in 1989. He resorted to using the media to attack his rivals and gained a reputation as an outspoken "loose cannon", such as attacking Mansell and his wife, calling Mansell "an uneducated blockhead" and stating that fellow Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna "doesn't like women". However, a payment-by-results deal with Benetton saw Piquet return to top form in 1990, with two wins, followed by the final win of his F1 career at Montreal in 1991 - at the expense of longtime rival Mansell.
Known as a practical joker, Piquet lived a stereotypically playboy racing driver lifestyle, earning and losing and earning again a series of small fortunes in his business dealings. One of the great characters of 1980s F1, he tried his hand at the Indianapolis 500 in 1992, but crashed during practice and was badly injured. He returned in 1993 and started in 13th position, but finished in 32nd, after engine problems allowed him to complete only 38 laps. He remains a competitive driver in sports car racing, albeit more for fun than with serious intent.
Since 2000, he has supported the career of his son, Nelson Piquet, Jr., who drove in the F1-feeder category GP2 for 2 seasons, achieving a best championship result of second with four race wins, and was a test driver for Renault F1 in 2007.
On January 20, 2006 Nelson Piquet won the 50th edition of Mil Milhas Brasileiras (Brazilian 1,000 miles), at the Interlagos racing track. He drove an Aston Martin DBR9 alongside his son, Nelsinho, and drivers Christophe Bouchut and Hélio Castroneves. At the end of the race, an exhausted Piquet was quoted saying to a friend he would “never sit in a cockpit again”.
He was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2000.

fastest lap on race Kimi Räikkönen Ferrari

will be the 62° edition of Italy GP
Until now 60 editions at Monza(this year will be 61); one edition in Imola 1980 but this circuit was home the San Marino Grand Prix from 1981 to 2006.
Only two countries: Great Britain and Italy have always held a Grand Prix F1 every year since 1950
The legendary circuit of Monza is made up of long straights, punctuated by tight chicanes and fast corners,
Here the cars have the lowest downforce level and the highest top speed. of all the current F1 circuits. For more than three-quarters of each 5.793 km lap, the drivers are on full throttle, reaching top speeds of almost 350 km/h; and the average lap speed is greater than 240 km/h This track is a difficult challenge for brakes and engines. The Parabolica is a corner very long and gradually increasing radius: after having passed the narrowest part you can go along the final section in full acceleration, running to the outside and the finish straight at speeds already very high. Other famous corners are the first Lesmo, and than the second Lesmo and “variante Ascari” a chicane dedicated to great pilot, dead here in 1955.
In 2008 first win for Vettel(Toro Rosso engine Ferrari) – Schumacher 5 wins – Barrichello 3 wins and Alonso 2 wins. Hamilton Button and Webber have never won at this track.
The FIA has announced that there will be two separate DRS zones Also in Montreal and Valencia there was a ‘double DRS zone’ but a single ‘detection point’. Instead, at Monza, there will be two independent zones with their own detection points: one on the start/finish straight and the other on the tree-lined straight connecting the second Lesmo and the Ascari chicane.
The medium(white) and the soft(yellow) tyre will be used as “prime” and “option” respectively, as in the last race at Spa. This year probably will no longer use the hard compound tyres(silver)
The podium after 12 races:
1° place: Vettel 7 – Hamilton 2 – Button 2 – Alonso 1
2° place; Vettel 4 – Alonso 3 – Hamilton 2 – Webber 2 – Button 1
3° place; Webber 5 – Button 3 – Alonso 2 – Heidfeld 1 – Petrov 1
Total podium: Vettel 11 – Webber 7 – Alonso and Button 6 – Hamilton 4 – Heidfeld and Petrov 1
Fastest lap on race: Webber 5 – Hamilton 2 – Massa 2 – Vettel 1 – Alonso 1 – Button 1

....a bit of story

ferrari millechili

The Ferrari Millechili is a concept car designed by the carmaker Italian Ferrari , and this thought is presented to the public through a model of the physical in 2007 .
From this concept comes a collaboration between the house of Maranello and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the ' University of Modena and Reggio Emilia , which gives rise to a lab for study , research and training called Millechili Lab .
With the concept Millechili Ferrari wanted to incorporate into a single ideal car all the technologies that will be present in their cars next production. The car never actually existed, because it was too early to implement it in its place was built a 1:1 scale model, not marching, the appearance of the Ferrari Enzo . Although all the features of the car may never have taken shape in a single concept car anticipatory, these were distributed in the various models produced after negl'anni. As the name suggests one of the key concepts is the lightness, with the aim to increase not only performance but also to reduce consumption by making more sustainable use of the vehicle, a philosophy which until a few years before it was totally unrelated to ' company. To make 300 kg lighter than the Enzo Ferrari's engineers have designed the 1 meter shorter, and made ​​other arrangements (such as removing the seats) but did not fold in carbon fiber , whose production and disposal is far that sustainable from the point of view of the environment . The Millechili, solutions also anticipates that it turned negl'anni grow very fast after his presentation, many concepts and models of various other car manufacturers. In fact the car is equipped with a hybrid power system characterized by an electric motor of 60 KW approached the V12 in gasoline , it is equipped with direct injection , a solution that finds its embodiment in series production at home with Ferrari Ferrari California . The propulsion system is another innovative feature, derived from the developments made ​​by the Scuderia Ferrari in Formula 1 : the Kers , anticipating another concept car, the horse: the HY-KERS 599 . This system consists in accumulating energy during braking and then return it in acceleration. In concept, there are also other innovations that within a few years have been used on production models like the new gearbox with double clutch that reduces the time changed from 150 ms of the most powerful present at that moment in a production model the house, at 30 ms, is applied on the first California and then on the Ferrari 458 Italy . In the latter has also been applied to study the unusual aerodynamic Millechili developed right on the envelope that consists of mobile appendages of the car body, which change shape depending on the speed, just like in Italy 458. As for the ' braking the Ferrari turned to Brembo discs for carbonceramici of 350 mm .
"Millechili Lab" is a project born from the collaboration between Ferrari and the faculty of engineering mechanics of the ' University of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia with the intention of training students and funding of research and development of new technologies in order to reduce weight to their cars. The main purpose of the project is to study and design Millechili frames of cars read for high-performance models, thanks to the work of students and doctoral students . There are only a few conditions for the design , namely the possibility of commissioning a series of products and compliance with the required high-performance models. The future looms, created for cars with mid-engine , should be available in 2012 . The project has different technical expertise, including the workstation system with Unix , as well as two with Windows . Each PC was equipped with various software such as CAD , the same used by Ferrari. This was done to simplify the data transmission.

After the normal stuff that you do when you get up it’s time to get into my car and drive to the circuit it’s now 05.30u when I leave the house .I arive at exactly 05.45u at the circuit ,thanks to this early time that I arive at the circuit I don’t have to pay for the parking because there is nobody here yet and also other people who are just behind me have the same luck ! After 5 minutes walk I arive at the gate I see allready people standing and sitting infront of the gate ,I thought that I was early but there allready people standing at the gate from 04.00u .Now it was waiting till the security would open the gate ,this did not happen until it was 07.40u .when they opend it everybody stormd inside but it was no use because they had to check your ticket,after mine was checked I went to my favorit place namely “ Pouchon” .As it was still early I had the luck to position myself where I wanted ,so I placed myself in the middle again so that I had a clear view .It was 08.15u and I saw pleople coming by to find a good place ,it was now waiting till 09.20u before something came on the track, and the 1st categorie that went out where the drivers of the Gp3 for there 2nd race ,as I don’t like that series I went to the paddock to go to the Merchandise place ,only this time I was not interested in the shops but it was at the Shell stand that I went because yesterday I saw that they had a stand with some interesting stuff in it ,namely they had a couple of playseats with the playstation3 game Formula1 2010 on it ,so everybody who would like to see what for effect it had to be in a seat with this game and with this track on the game could give it a try , I did not try because my cousin has a playseat of his own also with this game so I let other people play it . I went a bit further because for me this next thing was more interesting namely ..changing tyres , the meaning of this was that you had to do a pitstop ….there where at eatch side a team of 3 people ..one on the left side and one on the right side ,the F1 car of Felipe Massa was standing there on a platform ( a bit from the ground ) and you had to change his tyre as quick as posssible , ( meantime the moderator announced that the winner of the Gp3was Richie Stanaway ) ofcourse first the teams will have the change to practice and after the practice it was up for the fasted time ,as this was something that everybody wanted to do there where ofcourse a lot of people standing there until it was there turn ,I did not mind to wate because I was interested in something els ..as soon the first couple of teams did this test it was a short break and during this break there was a photographer of Shell and if you wanted he would take a photo of you next to the car of Felipe ..and ofcourse I did ,after this photo was taken I got a card from the photographer with webside adress on it and a personal code to upload your photo from there site .After this was done I went back to my place …when I came by the Merchandise stand of Schumi I could not resist to buy 2 more items of him , the person who helped me yesterday at this stand was saying that he allready will have a big bag holding aside for me J J J .Than it was time to get back to my place with picking up underway a Hamburger ( hmmm yammi ) .When I was back at my place at “ Pouchon “ there where a lot of more people now .At 10.30u till 11.20u it was the Gp2 who did there 2nd race ,for me the change too look around ,watching people going by and see what some of them where wearing as F1 fan ..hmmm a lot of people having caps of Hamilton on and just a fiew with caps of Champion Vetttel ,also it seemed that I was almost the only one with Ferrari clothing and cap because like I sayd before a lot of people with Hamilton stuff came by me .The driver who the Gp2 race was the t young driver Luca Filippi,there was one scary moment in this race namely the big crash of Stefano Coletti ,this was schocking to see because his car broke in half ,and it looked very serious ( later on the day I hear that his season is over because he broke 2 dorsal vertebra ) ! Than at 11.45u it where the drivers of the Porsche Mobil1 Supercup who did there race , in this race I was more interested because here it was close racing pure ..i saw a lot of overtakings and it stayd exciting until the last lap ,people begon to cheer because this Porsche Cup was worth watching , the winner here was the Polish driver Kuba Giermaziak !Than when this race was at 12.20 it was waiting till 12.30u because than it will be the drivers parade ,so time to eat and drink something ! Than at 12.25u the big screen was back “ live “ again on air and also was the moderator “ live “ again ,at this time I saw the gridgirls of Shell standing in line on the left and right with in the middle a red carpet , there where also standing classic cars on the grid today ,so instead of the truck that we always see the drivers on it was with classic cars this time also because it was the 20th year that Schumi was in the Formula1 ,a couple seconds later i/we saw the drivers coming out there boxes ..but where was the birthday person Schumi ?….. aaaah he came as last outside ..everyone was aplauding ,cheering when Schumi came out and waved to his fans ,everyone of the drivers stept in a car but the 1st car was for Michael Schumacher . Schumi was with a reporter together in the car ,when the parade was underway the reporter asked question at Schumi and ofcourse Michael answerd them all .We all could see on the big screen where the divers where so the minute that I hear the people aplauding and cheering it was time for me to change my cap of Ferrari to the new and special cap of Schumi’s 20year , than I saw Schumi driving by ,I and many others cheered for there favorit driver ,for me it was 3 times aplauding because of my alltime favorit Schumi followed by Alonso and Felipe Massa . As the drivers where out of side it was returning to my cap of Ferrari again ! After the parade was done they stept out of there classic cars and returning to there boxes now it was waiting till 13.20u to see them all again . At 13.20u it was the time for the drivers to get in there F1 cars and drie there cars to the start grid , as the cars of Massa came by ( 2 times ! ) and the one of Alonso and Schumi I stoud up and aplauded ,than it was sitting down again and wait till they start , thank god that there was a big screen infront of me because I would’nd miss a thing ,so I could see them all standing there next to there car with there team engineer and giving the last details . Than it was 14.00u ..time for the formation/warm up lap ,when all the cars came by it was a tremendous/enormous sound of engines J than they all arrived at there starting place , I could see that there was a lot of smoke at the car of Rosberg …could this bin allready a bad sign ,.or was it just that he had warm breaks ? My heartbeat went faster when the lights where showing ( I always have this with the start of the race ),lights out and away they go . I saw on the screen that Rosberg did a good start ,also Felipe made a good start he was on the 3rd place now , when the 1st 3 cars came by I stoud up and shouted << Come On Felipe >> , I also saw Alonso coming by ..he had overtook Hamilton and I also shouted the same to him ..and than I saw Schumi coming by and I was counting how mutch places he climb up ..thankfully I saw on the screen the times and places, and I saw that Schumi was allready on the 14th place ,when I saw this I could not control myself and I shouted outloud < Yyyyyyyiiiihaaaa come on Schumi give it all you got >> ,some looked at me and they must have thought ..what the hell ? ..hahahaha ,but I did not care because I’m a die hard fan and can let myself go ! Than ..i think it was the 3rd round I saw that Vettel had took over the 1st place again L . Than there was a replay on the screen of the start ,I saw that there some collision between some cars ,one of them was a collision between Alonso and Alguersuari .. I thought that there could be a flat tyre at Alonso’s car but thanfully it was not ! I saw Felipe closing on Rosberg and I shouted outloud << Come on Felipe baby push push .you can do it come on >> ..for the record noooo I’m not Felipe’s Team engineer Rob Smedley J J ,but I also saw Alonso coming up to Felipe allready ..and if that was not enough I saw Hamilton also closing .. my heart and adrenaline was pumping in a high rev now …Alonso passed Massa and also Hamilton did this with almost a collision between the two of them …pff my heartbeat went waayyyyy up now ! I saw Vettel go in the box for his pitstop ,so now it was Rosberg again who was at 1st place followed by a closing Alonso , Alonso made a attack on Rosberg at the Bus stop but it was not enough so a dissapointment at that time ,but I saw Alonso closing again and this time it worked,so Alonso was 1st now ( yeeeeaaaah ) ,when Alonso came by Pouchon I cheered because he was 1st .Than it was the turn of Hamilton to pas Rosberg and that went smooth so now it was Hamilton who became 2nd and was closing on Alonso , I saw Hamilton getting closer and ofcourse it was now time of the Hamilton fans to cheer ,I was getting a bit frustraded because I saw Hamilton realy getting close .Than it was the pitstop of Alonso ,when he came to his pitbox my eyes where focused on the pitstop time ,than he came out of the box again and came back on the track just before Webber ,but sadly Webber tyres where ofcourse at tempature and Alsonso’s where not so Webber passed Alonso at Eau Rouge ..dammed that was close ,but than Alsonso overtook Webber again just after the Raidillon ,the both of them also passed Sutil . I saw that Schumi was on a good pace because now he was at the 10th place ( yihaaa ) . Than something happened that was too mutch for some people next to me and behind me ..they whee going << OOooooh ..f**k ..Ooooh >> because there favorit driver Hamilton crashed , I stayd calm because I know how a person can feel when something like this happens with your favorit driver ! So now it was time for the safetycar to come out ,when this happened Vettel went in the box for a pitstop ,so Alonso was now again at 1st place ..and there was a short cheer from me for this J and also a cheer and aplaus for Felipe because he was still at 4th place and there was even a bigger cheer and aplaus because I saw Schumi had climb up one place to 9th ! When the safetycar came back in Alonso stayd 1st but Vettel overtook Webber so Vettel on 2nd place .Than I saw on the screen that Alonso and Vettel where next to eatchother and at Les Combes it happened L Vettel passed Alonso ,so I was getting pissed that this happened so quickly ,the next round when Alonso came by I shouted << come on dammed get back up there ,push push >> , thank god that I still saw Schumi climbing up ,he was now at 7th place ! Than another dissapointment for me L I saw Button closing on Massa for 5th place ,at the outside of the Bus stop chicane I saw it happening Buton took the 5th place of Felipe L ..i was not amused ! After some pitstops it was again Vettel who was 1st with behind him Alonso, Webber, Button than I saw that Schumi did a attack on Sutil ,I went almost crazy because now I saw Schumi on the 6th place J , now the next driver to catch was his team mate Nico Rosberg , I shouted << come on Schumi you can do it ! >> ,but when this was happening I saw that Button was closing on Alonso and at Les Combes it happened ..Button had snatched the 3rd place of Alonso …I was furious that this happend soo easy and so quickly ,when Alonso came by I did the Italian hand signal to him ..un-be-lieve-ble he lost so easy the 3rd place… dammed .Allready I saw that it was impossible to catch Vettel ,so the victory would be for him L . Than the forelast lap I saw that Schumi did the attack on Rosberg ..and he took him ..Schumi took the 5th place from Rosberg ..yyyyyiiiiihhhaaaaaa weldone Schumi whoehoe ..yeeeee ..my voice was sooooo fucked up/broken of all this shouting that I could not say mutch anymore . Also dissapointment for me because I saw Alonso finishing on the 4 place and Felipe at the 8th place ,but I congratulated the fans of Vettel because he won fair and drove a clean race ,they could apriciate this from a die hard fan of Ferrari and Schumi fan J
After the finish the cars do normaly there victory lap ,but here in Francorchamps they don’t do that so I packed all my stuff and prepaired myself to do for the last time the climb of the hill, this time it went mutch better than the previous days but also a bit slow because everyone was climbing up to get to there cars ,when I was ariving at the gate I was a bit surpriced because there where no security gards to do the checkout of the ticket ,so I went on to the parking to get to my car and drive home ,first I drove to my rent house to clean it and pack my stuff and than I did the key away to the concierge and than it was finally going home ,when I drove home I was replaying these 5 days that I had ..and that gave me a smile al the way until I was home again ..and I also must say I was allready thinking of buying tickets for next year ! So guys and girls this was my last diary day of Formula1 I hope you enjoyd reading it like I did writing it for you fans and people who where interested in it !
So that's it from the Shell Belgian Grand Prix at the Sp-Francorchamps circuit !
My Thanks to everyone who pressed on the Thank You !!!
