Perez shines, And im going hooton!

Im planning a trip to hooton park with the easykart on the  3rd of april, shortly after that i will be releasing a video on here about kart set up and driving style and the effects on your laptime, so make sure to get your racing backsides on here for that, should be exiting stuffickles

So Kuala lumpur? lets call it eventful to say least, actualy the only way to describe how it happend was S$%£ WENT DOWN!!! so before i go throught that im going to be structuring these post regarding F1 differently now to make it easier to read (any problems with it please leave a comment and ill see what i can do), im doing this so the F1 posts become a regular thing becouse this blog isnt entirely aimed at formula one, its also a jurnal of what im doing in the world of motorsport, motorsport is now and hopefully will be for a long long time a very important part of my life and this is my way of documenting that, so this is the first test i have had with this new structure so any adjustments or if it sucks and i should scrap it just let me know.....

Formula 1 begins!

Albert park was harassed recently by the revs and screams of 22 formula 1 cars a few hours ago, yup 22 not 24, i hate to sound cocky... wait , i love sounding cocky, but i predicted the failure of HRT in preseason testing, but they still impressed me, i assumed they would be embarrassing, but no they failed to even quilify (didn't meet 107% rule).

 

McLaren seem to have a clear advantage in straight lines and the MercedesGP looks amazingly steady and stable, Red bull seem to be in Mclarens shoes last year because the car doesn't seem to have pace in qualy but race pace was good and Vettel gave Jenson a good run for his money...
 

Modern Formula 1 Tracks boring??

If your into your formula one then you will know that the "buzz" of the sport is gone, (well... gone is such a powerfull word, perhaps shrunk) , are these modern tracks a factor?

Its no secret that the new tracks such as india, abu dhabi and korea were rather boring to watch, F1 is trying to spread and there is nothing wrong with that but this is a lenthy proccess, with the addition of the USA GP thats 4 new tracks.

The drivers seem to love the tracks, I have watched millions of videos and played endless hours of video games (as close as i can get) and the tracks are good fun but i cant help but think why not bring back the classics? why not just improve the safety of the tracks and re-introduce them.

It seems like a cheaper option in comparison to an entirely new track. F1 does occasionally need a new track to spice the season up but 4 is too many.
I leave you now with M Shumachers 2006 lap of imola (a track i am too young too know the glory of but abselutely love watching races there. ) i hope you watch it and admire how the track isnt flat, but goes up and down and theres the odd camber, and as the car drives past the grand stands just take a quick look at how packed it is.

Barcelona Day 3 "The money bag is on the move"

Yes i know i slammed money bags (Pastor maldanado) in my last post and i know that he set the fastest lap in the 3rd day of testing but i stand by my previous words, in other news Mark Webber appears to have fallen asleep at the wheel and set an embarrasing lap time that was roughly 2 seconds slower than Maldanado. full unofficial laptimes below

It would appear the Red Bulls this year are not just going to walk away with it. The previous two years the Red Bulls chassis has been so quick that even Mark Webber has managed to top some time sheets and keep up in the top half of the grid,(No offence to Mark but the only thing slower than his driving is the answers he gives to press conferences) and i know its early days but i think the other teams have closed the gap.....

The Hulk sets the pace in the 2nd day in Spain

Another young german lit up the beautiful roads of spain (the track i hope) and set the fastest time, however he was on the softer compound (super-soft) and only 2 tenths behind was 3rd place man vettel on the harder (soft) compound, full unoffical laptime below

I have always liked the hulk, i though it was rediculus of williams to let him go to the money bag that is Pastor Maldenado, the money bag has little (or none what so ever) driving skill and a bad temper (intentionally hitting Hamilton in Spa last year p.s if you believe that to be an accident then please imidiatly call your optician and have a thorough eye test) but alot of money.....

Sporting Personalities (The "dip")

Whilst this blog is made to share my jurney of motorsport, along the way i will share some of my opinion on sport. mainly on motorsport and F1 but these can vary to all sports.

I like to think I watch a lot of sport from football to Formula 1 to Karting, and I have noticed a very broad variety in sports personalities. Many professional athletes are commonly judged on how they react to certain scenarios.

Formula 1 shows my point here as drivers go on to win their first championship, you often see drivers slipping under the radar mid-season, for example Jenson Button in 2009 made a records matching start to the season winning six of seven raced, a record only achieve before by Michael Schumacher and someone else (dunno who).

However after that, Jenson only managed to average 6^th throughout the rest of the season, (though double diffusers may have had something to do with it) Jenson claimed he wasn’t happy with how unpredictable the cars handling had become. But commentators and analyst seemed to think Jenson wasn’t coping with the stress of leading the championship too well. Though he did comeback with an amazing storm through the grid at Brazil to take the championship, it’s this mid-season dip in performance I wish to talk about.....
