FERRARI: UN DISASTRO ANNUNCIATO? Sebastian Vettel unexpectedly wins the 2010 World Cup in a rollercoaster of Ferrari World, and immediately broke out hunting the culprit for the defeat Red. The general disbelief creates chaos. Now, with a cool head, you can analyze what happened, net of hysteria and insults to the wall. E 'is a track where overtaking is known that the argument from Playstation. The infield is too full of curves and reverse curves at right angles groped for a chance. The two kilometer straight start at a hairpin and a chicane on the first and the second, less than an error in acceleration of those in front, overtaking groped is not easy. Were only four in 2009, in fact.
The first error is to opt Ferrari on Saturday for a more streamlined office solution, to better exploit the infield over that fast. But it was not able to be assessed, for some reason, the traffic on Sunday and this has affected a lot the final result. With "if" and the "but" not going anywhere, but with a faster car on the attack straight to Petrov would be more likely. Given the talent of Alonso, he would have held up well in the mix in order to launch the attack at the bottom of two straight. Although, remember, after Petrov would also have to pass Kubica and Rosberg, who are not just two rookies.
The second error, the first of Sunday, it's Fernando. The wrong starting yet another year. The departures are now managed by software and in fact before the start we need the instruction manual of the steering wheel to complete the sequence that activates the procedure to start.
fact is that maintaining the third position would guarantee a much larger detachment of Webber before the disaster, and, perhaps, the wall would behave differently. Than that of Stella, and Dyer (for liability) Domenicali is an error, is without a doubt.
The issue revolves around one question: the Ferrari pit wall they had noticed that Petrov and Rosberg had changed from soft to hard in the first round and then would have continued to the end without problems?
Hypothesis 1: In the chaos of the Safety Car is not recorded by the Ferrari pit wall Renault and Mercedes go from soft to hard rubber and can potentially finish the race. The two are not considered fully, and you find them once the rest of Alonso. This possibility seems less likely. It 's absurd to think that the engineers do not track if they have noticed the public and yes, even given the fact that on the monitor with the official live timing of the various stops are reported pilots. So, between the first and fifteenth round (twenty minutes of the match, more or less), it seems impossible that frankly most people do not have realized.
Hypothesis 2: The wall knows that Rosberg and Petrov have returned. Despite this, Stella and Dyer are concerned about more than that of Webber and Vettel think Mercedes Renautl and are both obstacles easily overcome by Alonso, who will have a much higher pace once went out with fresher tires for 15 laps. If this were the case, you configure the sin of presumption and would not even be the first time, because we consider you know that this track last year, where overtaking had counted on the fingers of one hand, that the configuration is chosen to Saturday with a high load on both Red and also that the Renault is one of the fastest straight through its F-Duct: the logical consequence is that Alonso is behind Petrov to the end, as Massa behind Algersuari.
There must also be said that the simulations carried out in the first two days, it seemed as soft tire had a very limited time. So even this detail might have led to the decision to return after Fernando Massa and Webber. Only to see later how Button has continued with the same compound per quasi 40 giri senza problemi. Anche se il buon Jenson tratta le gomme come forse nessun altro pilota attuale sa fare.
L’errore comunque rimane, in qualsiasi ipotesi si sia svolto il tutto. E, agli occhi di tutti, è stato quello decisivo. Anche se è giusto ricordare che se gli Ingegneri di pista ci hanno messo del loro, anche il pilota di punta non è stato esente da errori.
E’ stata infatti esaltata la rimonta di Fernando sulla testa della classifica. Anche se, e qui apriamo una parentesi, è sembrata tale nei confronti di Webber. Perchè rispetto a Vettel, Alonso ha raccolto solo quattro punti in più, 111 a 107, e in Corea per il tedesco sarebbero stati altri 25 senza il ritiro.
were saying, and there is exaltation of the comeback, because it was still exciting. But the number 7 has not only during the Grand Prix of Italy and indeed, until at Spa in 2010 by Alonso could not be considered equal to his fame. The posting
final ranking so low as to Sebastian, just 4 points, puts his finger on at least three or four occasions in which Fernando has thrown away important points, and not for flaws in the Ferrari. The problem
strategies in Ferrari is not new this year. And 'in fact, since the block Schumacher / Todt / Brawn left that something has changed, and unfortunately negative. Before Raikkonen, then Massa and Alonso were this year vittime negli anni di alcune strategie “fantasiose”. La difficoltà peggiore, poi, pare essere quella di azzeccare le scelte quando le condizioni del tempo sono poco stabili. Limitandoci al 2010, in Malesia le due Rosse sono rimaste fuori dalla Q1 per essere state fatte entrare tardi in pista, quando ormai pioveva e non si poteva fare più niente per migliorare i tempi. Come abbiamo già ricordato, a Silverstone Domenicali e compari sono stati poco incisivi nei confronti di Alonso, quando sarebbe stato utile essere tempestivi e farlo rallentare per farsi risorpassare da Kubica. Non pensiamo ci sia bisogno di dire ancora qualcosa di più su Hockenheim, dove si è rischiato davvero tanto e comunque l’immagine della Ferrari ha affected by the bad impression via the World Radio Team. Unfortunately, the tactics of Abu Dhabi will remain in memory as the worst, for the manner and timing.
We do not know what happens now Ferrari. If, that is, someone will pay for what happened Sunday. It 's the most logical conclusion probably view the figure remedied by Cavallino. Although perhaps not the most morally correct. Why, if it is true that "we win together, lose together," maybe it's just that everyone takes responsibility without seeking a scapegoat. Very simple solution to clean conscience, but not to solve the problems.
