Monza, Italy

I'M REALLY REALLY SORRY THAT I DIDN'T POSTED ANYTHING SINCE BELGIUM SPA !
It's because I had quite tough time, but now I'm gonna upload everything here that I've missed to write ! I hope you will still enjoy the reading, and it will remind you somehow the race ;)


Autodromo di Monza
Race laps: 53
Lap: 5,793 km
Last year winner: Lewis Hamilton
Lap record: 1 min 21,046 secs by Rubens Barrichello in 2004

The Italian GP is actually my favourite, I do love the track, it has a big history. Also the atmosphere there is amazing ( as I've heard from friends and saw from tv)
This race was actually hard to watch for me, because I supposed to be there, but due to school I couldn't make it, so it was like watching a race with tears for the whole time ! ;)
The really big suprise was in Qualification, because 3 great drivers ( Grosjean, Raikkonen and Hamilton) were out of Q3 ! Actualy Hamilton was blocked by Sutil and later on he recieved a penalty.
RACE:
Great start of Massa but really bad of Button. Di Resta out of track at the beginning. He had a contact with Grosjean. Then Raikkonen was  in box on the first lap to change the front wing, because he crushed into Perez car. Later on, little contact between Webbber and Alonso, but no damage. Lap 12 Hamilton need to pit right away because of slow puncher in his tire, the mechanics in pit are not ready, but fortunately he was in pit on 13 ( probably because of some problems with radio). His engineer told him to reset the radio. Few laps later Vergne is struggling with some car problems (probably that was engine). Then the race was quite "calm" I mean no crushes and problems until at lap 40 Webber recieved a info that he is having problems with his gearbox, later on also Vettel recieved that to. Unfortunately for Webber  it was more serious.
Last lap Sutil went out of track to the pit.
And the results:

Spa, Belgium.

After almost one month brake F1 is back on the track !
Race laps:  44
Lap: 7,004 km
Last year winner: Jenson Button
Lap record: 1 min 47,263secs by Sebastian Vettel in 2009

The race:
It was a such good weather comparing to FP or Q, but the dark clouds were there all the time.
I would say it was such a calm start, because there was no crash at the beginning like last year.
Lewis Hamilton started from the pole position, but unfortunately after few seconds of the race Sebastian Vettel overtook him. Also it was such a good start for Fernando Alonso, because he started from the 9th position but finally he finnished at 2nd.Anyway there was intresting moment in this race. In 1/4 race Sergio Perez was overtaking Romain Grosjean and it ended up that Grosjean was out of track. In my opinion there was nothing wrong, but Perez received drive-through penatly for pushing him out.  At 11lap Charles Pic decided to give up from the race because of car problems. Later on we could hear a typical Kimi Raikkonen on the radio. His engineer told him to keep car of his car, and Kimi replied that he has no idea what his engineer is talking to him, ohh Kimi :) And in the middle of the race Kimi was overtaking Felipe Massa, but He had some problems with brakes so it ended up that he was out of the track and quickly returned to his garage. At 28lap was a crash on the curve which is called the Bus Stop. Pastor Maldonado smashed Paul's di Resta car, and quickly returned to garage to change tires and nose, while it was the end of the race for di Resta. Maldonado received 10secs stop&go penalty  for this collision.
Well after a quite long brake it was good to see boys in action, but there was to many penalties... Soon we probably won't see any overtaking, because drivers will be scared of penalties.
Let's hope it won't happen.
And now is time for results:

Montreal, Canada.

What a race that was ! But let me give you some facts about track and GP as usually.
Race laps: 70
Lap: 4,361km
Last year winner: Lewis Hamilton
Lap record: 1min 13,662secs by Rubens Barrichello in 2004

The race:
In the end of Q2 Felipe Massa (again) slided into wall. He just got lost the control of the vehicle, because the track was quite wet, thanks to bad weather. The result was Red Flag, and the race stopped for few minutes. When everything back to normal, the race was restart from Pit lane, and after that Kimi Raikkonen and Daniel Ricciardo received 2 grid penalties following to the fact that they opted to line up next to Esteban Gutierrez(he was ledding), not behind him. Qualification went so good for Valteri Bottas. He qualified at 3rd position which is great result.
On Sunday was sunny weather, so intermediate and wet compound tyres weren't necessary. As the lights went off Sebastian Vettel ( who was on pole position) as usual rapidly went ahead and made huge gap, but only one mistake and Hamilton (who started from 2nd grid) got him. Talking about mistakes, Lotus team made one in pit stop, and Kimi Raikkonen lost some important seconds. After few laps from the beginning, Adrian Sutil rotated his car while attempt of overtaking Bottas, and the moment later Pastor Maldonado hit the back of Sutil's car. He received a drive-through penatly, which meant from 8th he was 10th. In the middle of the race Mark Webber and Fernando Alonso overtook Nico Rosberg without any problems and with DRS help. It was so quick and professional. In the channel I watched F1 commentators were admiring the way Mark and Lewis drive, and the way how they overtook Nico. Later on Giedo van der Garde was ignoring blue flags, and he collided with Webber, and destroyed Mark's front wing. It was irresponsible of van der Garde. He received 10 seconds stop/go penalty. Then Alonso secured his podium position and overtook Webber which made him 3rd, and later on he overtook Hamilton, which made him 2nd.But Hamilton is real fighter so he wouldn't just give up. So at 63lap  they had a small contact, but fortunately it was unnoticeable. Moving on  Nico Hulkenberg destroyed van der Garde's front wing, which after one lap made Giedo's car totally broken, so he moved on grass. He might have stopped his car earlier, because Nico reacted responsible, and talk with his engineer about car's status and decide to stop the car. What was intresting for me, was the fact that Paul di Resta raced a 57 LAPS on one set of tyres. How did he do that, since pirelli's tyres have "good" quality. Later on was a quite funny thing. When Hamilton's engineer started talk to him about tyres, Lewis replied: " Just let me drive, man..". That was totally Kimi style :) Moving on to the end Sutil received drive through penalty for ignoring blue flags. Then Gutierrez was out of the track at 66lap, which meant DRS was disabled and that was bad information for Massa who was struggling with Raikkonen. But at final lap he overtook him.
So there we got the results:
Anyway there was only one sad thing because after this GP one of the Marshalls died after falling under the wheel of a mobile crane. He died in hospital. We all feel so sory about it...

Monaco.

That was intresting race ! The Grand Prix of Monaco.
It was set on the street Circuit de Monaco.
Race laps: 78
Lap: 3.340 km
Last year winner: Mark Webber
Lap record: 1min 14,439 secs by Michael Schumacher in 2004

The race:
In FP3 Felipe Massa had a crash on the first curve, so he didn't attend in qualifiactions.
It all began so easly, but later on there was a real race to watch.
Almost all drivers started on Supersoft compound.
He recived a penalty because of changing the gearbox just as Max Chilton.
On the formation lap Jules Bianchi had a problems with his car, so he couldn't drive.
After few laps Maldonado damaged his front wing just as Gido van der Garde, (which about pastor is a not suprise :). Later on the team mates from McLaren started fighting between each other. On the 9th lap Charles Pic's car started to burn on the entry to pitstop. Just some technical problems, and it's the end of the race for driver. A moment later Maldonado had again contact but this time with Jules Bianchi. Then was not a good view because Felipe Massa had again crush on this same curve, Sainte Devote, as in FP3. After that we could see a safety car, beautiful Mercedes SLS AMG, for the first time in this season. Safety car annoys many people, but for me hearing this sound of engine and then the F1 cars is so good :)
At the 38th lap the SC went out, and after almost 10 laps Pastor Maldonado had a terrible crush, that the race was red flagged, because it took out the entire barrier on curve, which makes track not available to drive through. Every driver backed to the star and waited till the track would be clear. It was a Max Chilton fault so he recived a drive through penatly for causing collision. After the 20mins break everything backed to normal and we had the race restarted. Sergio Perez started to fighting so raw, that sometimes it was quite unfair. Also Lewis Hamilton was trying to get back his position, but he just couldn't get Mark Webber. Later on was a crush between Grosjean and Ricciardo, but Romain backed on the track with destroyed front winng, but in Pit Stop he finnished his race. There was again we had a safety car, because there was so many parts of cars. Few laps before the end, Sergio Perez was out of track because of car's problems. A this race Fernando Alonso had a very bad pace, most of drivers just take him over and over. That was so sad for me because I support him. Anyway it was a very very good race for Nico Rosberg. He got a pole position, and he won the race ! So congrats, and now get ready to next GP in Canada!

Pirelli wristbands

Hey !
So today I want to share with you my  new purchase. It's Pirelli wristbands (2013 eddition) !
Those wristbands are special for me, because there is 6 wristbands which each of them is compound of the real Formula 1 Pirelli tyres. There is green one (Intermediate), blue one (Wet), red one (Supersoft), orange one (Hard), white one (Medium) and yellow one (Soft).
This is like a must have for every F1 fan, because it's so nice to have them on.
I wanted them for such a long time, but they seems to be pricey, but one day I said "I must have them !" and I don't regret.
Check it out :)

Barcelona, Spain

The first Grand Prix in Europe this season was set in Barcelona in Spain on Circuit de Catalunya.

Some facts:

Race laps: 66

Lap: 4,655km

Last year winner: Pastor Maldonado

Lap record: 1 min 21,670 secs by Kimi Raikkonen in 2008

The race:

Felipe Massa after Q2 recived a three-place grid penalty for impeding Mark Webber. Also Esteban Gutierrez got this punishment, but he was blocking Kimi Raikkonen.

That was very beautifull start for Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso. As soon as lights went off, they rapidly got ahead. Mercedes duet was on the first to places, but the starts wasn't great for them. Lewis Hamilton on the first curve blocked his tyres, and lost his position. Later on began problems with his car, so he totally lost his good position. Also Nico Rosberg was struggling a bit, because  drivers one by one were overtaking him. Then in pitlane Force India had some issue with their car. Next thing happened to Romain Grosjean. Had a huge problem with car, with steering.

Pastor Maldonado received drive through penalty, because of over-passing speed in pitstop.

Giedo van der Garde reported to his engineer that he is having problems with his tires  later on he lost his back, left tyre, but he continued driving to pitlane, whereas he supposed to stop somewhere. 

Ferrari started to have the best results and heading to the first places. All fans on the grandstands were just celebrating. 

Then it was just fight between Massa Vettel and Raikkonen, where Vettel, which is quite surprise  didn't have a good results, good pace. Whereas Fernando Alonso had incredibly good pace, and was leader for the end of the race (with ups and downs because of visit on pitlane). Later on Nico Hulkenberg was to early released, straight to  Jean-Eric Vergne, that they even had a contact. Nico received penalty 10secs stop in pitstop. Few moments later Vergne's back right tyre completely destroyed, so he had to get back again to pitstop. 

Last laps, all Ferrari fans were so much happy, that he is going to win the race, and that just happened.
Fernando Alonso won Spanish Grand Prix ! 

All results:

and the podium:
