Re: Formula 1 General Chat & Discussion

the podium of the last three Spanish GP(Circuit de Catalunya - Barcelona)

2010
1 Mark Webber RBR-Renault
2 Fernando Alonso Ferrari
3 Sebastian Vettel RBR-Renault
fastest lap on race: Lewis Hamilton McLaren-Mercede

2009
1 Jenson Button Brawn-Mercedes
2 Rubens Barrichello Brawn-Mercedes

fastest lap on race:Rubens Barrichello Brawn-Mercedes

2008
1 Kimi Räikkönen Ferrari
2 Felipe Massa Ferrari
3 Lewis Hamilton McLaren-Mercedes
fastest lap on race: Kimi Räikkönen Ferrari

Circuit de Catalunya is home the Spanish Grand Prix from 1991
In the past the Spanish Grand Prix was run mostly at Jerez de la Frontera, Jarama and Montjuich
in 1975 (Montjuich) Half points were awarded because the race was stopped after only 29 laps due a terrible accident. So Lella Lombardi the sixth, with her half-point is still today the only woman to score points in Formula One
in 1981 (Jarama's circuit) Gilles Villeneuve crossed the line first, followed closely by Laffite, Watson, Reutemann, and de Angelis: top five separated by just 1.24 secs.!(without safety car).
in 1986 (Jerez de la Frontera) an incredible arrival between Senna and Mansell, side by side, under the checkered flag. They crossed the finishing line just 0.014 seconds apart. One of the closest finishes in the history of F1
in 1993(Circuit de Catalunya) For the first and last time on the podium, three of the greatest drivers in the history of Formula 1: Prost, Senna and Schumacher. 14 world campionship in total; the podium most titled of all time
in 1996 (Circuit de Catalunya) first victory for Schumacher at the wheel of a Ferrari
M. Schumacher has won also in 2004 – 2003 – 2002 – 2001(always Ferrari) and 1995(Benetton)
M. Schumacher 12 times on podium here.
one victory for Massa 2007 and Alonso 2006
Every Formula One team knows well the Circuit de Catalunya due to the amount of testing conducted there

Robert is a first class driver. I miss him very much, mate.
The race was great, indeed. Lot of overtakings, emotions and fights. First podium for Fernando... but first 1-2 for Red Bull this year.
It's still a long way to Sebastian...

Re: Formula 1 General Chat & Discussion

the podium of the last three Turkish GP(Istambul)
2010
1 Lewis Hamilton McLaren-Mercedes
2 Jenson Button McLaren-Mercedes
3 Mark Webber Red Bull-Renault
fastest lap on race: Vitaly Petrov Renault

2009

fastest lap on race: Jenson Button Brawn-Mercedes

2008
1 Felipe Massa Ferrari
2 Lewis Hamilton McLaren-Mercedes
3 Kimi Räikkönen Ferrari
fastest lap on race: Kimi Räikkönen Ferrari

will be the 7° edition of this race (first gp f1 on this track in 2005)
F.Massa won also in 2006 – 2007 probably his favorite circuit together with Interlagos
Alonso: 2°(2006 - 2005) and 3° in 2007
all the winners of this GP are always started from the front row;
at Turkish GP 2010 there was a crash between Webber and Vettel (both on Red Bull) while they were at first and second place;
the track is characterized by many ups and downs with a mix of fast and slow sections;
the corner more characteristic of Istanbul Otodrom is the number 8(nicknamed Diabolica) that is considered one of the most difficult of all the championship (the tyre wear is very high).
Also this circuit was designed by the architect Hermann Tilke.
This track is unusual in that it is run anti-clockwise
