Re: Formula 1 General Chat & Discussion

The heroes of the northern loop
Next Sunday we will run the Grand Prix of Germany, at the Nurburgring, but until 1976 there was an other circuit called “die Nordschleife” The old Nurburgring was a mythical circuit with 172 corners and 22,8 km length, known as “the Green Hell”. This circuit was like a serpent of asphalt, which insinuated itself between volcanic peaks and fabulous forests. A victory at the Ring was usually the distinctive sign of a true champion. Before the start of the F1 in july 1935 was held a memorable race on this track in front of more than 250,000 viewers. One of the most famous Grand Prix race of all time. In those years the German cars were silver, Italian cars were red, English cars were green and French cars were blue.
There were five powerful Mercedes (Caracciola, Fagioli, Lang, von Brauchitsch and Geier) against the Auto Union with an engine V16 cylinders (Rosemeyer, Varzi, Stuck e Pietsch) In the middle among a mixture of Maserati, ERA and Bugatti, there was the Scuderia Ferrari with an old Alfa Romeo P3 at the wheel Tazio Nuvolari. It had been raining during the night and dark clouds and fog still hung over parts of the track. After 8 laps, there were three Mercedes cars at the top, Caracciola, Fagioli and von Brauchitsch. Only 2 laps later Nuvolari was in the lead, but lost two minutes to pit stop. Over the next few laps he passed Caracciola, Stuck and Fagioli. The gap to the race leader Von Brauchitsch nicknamed “der Pechvogel”, was 1m 27sec with seven laps still remaining, but his driving style putting great pressure on his tyres, nevertheless decided not to stop to change them At the last lap just thirty seconds separated the two men; but a few kilometers from the finish line the left rear tyre of his Mercedes bursted, and so unexpectedly won a red car, an old Alfa Romeo P3 Scuderia Ferrari. After that race Nuvolari was nicknamed “der Teufel” by German fans

1° Tazio Nuvolari Alfa Romeo Scuderia Ferrari time 4 h. 08 min 04 sec.
2° Hans Stuck Auto Union + 2 min 14 sec
3° Rudy Caracciola Mercedes + 3 min 09 sec
4° Bernd Rosemeyer Auto Union + 4 min 47 sec
5° M. Von Brauchitsch Mercedes + 6 min 13 sec
6° Luigi Fagioli Mercedes + 7 min 54 sec
7° Hans Geier Mercedes + 1 lap
8°Achille Varzi Auto Union + 1 lap

will be the 62° edition of this GP
Until now 44 editions at Silvestone(this year will be 45); 12 at Brands Hatch and 5 at Aintree
Only two countries: Great Britain and Italy have always held a Grand Prix F1 every year since 1950
the fantastic Silverstone circuit is at the heart of England:
The place where the world championship began in 1950, and one of the fastest circuits on the calendar
Silverstone. Saturday 14 july 1951: first Ferrari win in F1. At the wheel there was José Froilan González. known as the “Pampas Bull” or "El cabezon"
After 28 years(1979) in same day always at Silvestone there was the first win for Williams(Clay Regazzoni)
At the beginning, there were only 8 corners: Woodcote, Copse, Maggots, Becketts, Chapel, Stowe, Club, Abbey. After many changes over the years, now there are 18 corners.
In 1991, it is considered too fast and the organizers decided to add chicanes everywhere. Other important changes were made last year. Its layout features two long straights and a mix of corners sometimes slow, sometimes fast, sometimes very fast
British GP: Five wins for Jim Clark and Alain Prost. Four wins for Mansell nicknamed:the Lion
From this race, will come into force new rules, on the diffuser blown. The Technical Commission of the FIA ruled that no longer be exploited the exhaust gases of the engine to create more downforce on the rear diffuser.
The FIA has opted to return to the single-DRS (Drag Reduction System) for the British Grand Prix.
The activation zone, will be after turn 4 (The Loop), meaning the cars will take the medium speed turn 5 (Aintree Corner) with the wing in the open position. The zone will continue down the Wellington Straight for about 400m before the drivers hit the brakes and deactivate the system.
Narain Karthikeyan has been replaced by Daniel Ricciardo in the Hispania Racing Team from this race
Pirelli will take its hard (silver) and soft (yellow) compound tyres to the British Grand Prix.
Tyre wear: high. Downforce: very important.
