British Grand Prix

On July 9th, the British Grand Prix took place in Silverstone, the United Britain. The weather was good, and the temperature was 22℃. This Grand Prix is 10th in this season, and it is the special for McLaren's drivers, Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button, because it is home country for them. This Grand Prix was rainy every year, but it was fine this year, it is good news for drivers and their teams, because the rainy day was dangerous for the car, there is a threat that they slip. The sky looked very beautiful, it is famous of British, a lot of famous people come to watch here every year. And there are many teams in the United Britain, such as Williams. It is special and swelling race. If you want to go there to watch F1, I think it is difficult to get ticket, because F1 is very popular in there. I want to watch it because the performance before the race is very amazing! And if I will go there I may meet British famous person.

The Silverstone Circuit is in England. The type is Race and the length is 5,141 kms, there has 17 turning points. Like many UK historic tracks, Silverstone was built on the site of an old RAF airfield with the original circuit making use the three runways in a triangle formation, so common to World War Tow airfields. The first race at the circuit is reported to have taken place in September 1947 between local resident Maurice Geoghegan and 11 friends who raced on a two-mile ad-hoc circuit.

At 9:00 p.m. (Japan Time) the the formation lap started. The poll position was Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull), the front row was Mark Webber (Red Bull), and the 2nd row was Fernando Alonso (Ferrari). I think that Red Bulls' cars are fastest of others. Last Grand Prix, Red Bull got the poll position and the front row. Nobody know about the secret of the speed without the concerned. I think it is form and the machine's weight, because they strong for a curve. It mean they can control their weight of machine. But they need the technique of drivers, too. The Red Bull is actuary Drink company. Ferrari is sport car company but it is not! I think it is not most importance thing that the sponsor of the car maker. However I want Alonso to win!!

Nico Rosberg (Mercedes) was the 4th row, Vitaly Petrov (Renault) was 14th row, Jaime Alguersari (Toro Rosso) was 16th row, and Nico Hurkenberg (Williams) was 12th row. And I was surprised that there are two Japanese drivers! Yamamoto Sakon was changed Bruno Senna by Force India. And he is 23th row, I want him to drive the whole distance. When the race started, Lewis overtook Sebastian so he became 2nd. After that Sebastian slid off the track! And his real tire went flat. Webber's starting was good, I think, he could keep 1st, but Alonso was not so, he became 5th. In 1st lap, Felipe Massa (Ferrari) was pit to change tire, when the race start, he touched other driver. And 3rd was Robert Kubica (Renault), Nico (Rosberg) and Alonso wanted to overtake him, but it is so difficult for them because overtaking has any risk. They don't want to retire. In 10th lap, Lucas di Grassi (Virgin) was in pit, he had trouble. He was in pit but he cannot run, so he retired. And in 11th lap, Vitantonio Liuzzi (Force India) overtook Adrian Sutil (Force India), in 13th lap, Alonso, Rubens Barrichello (Williams), and Kamui Kobayashi (Sauber) were in pit same time, so the ranking was changed, Kamui was front of Michael Schumacher (Mercedes). He is called a legend, because he has gained chanpionship seven times! Now he is 41 years old but he is look loke same other young drivers. However he is not good condition recently. He has brank for 4 years, I think he readjust now. Mercedes's engine is good but it doesn't suitable sport car. Mercedes's car is very expensive car, and looks cool! I want it! The safety car, which is used in F1 Grand Prix is made by Mercedes. You have watched it once at least. We called it "Benz". I think you want to ride it!!

In 15th lap,　Felipe spined and course off, but he drive again. And in 17th lap, Alonso run in 8th behind Robert Kubica (Renault). He was faster than Kubica, so he wanted to overtake him but it was difficult. When he overtake Kubica, the kubica's car approached Alonso's car and he had taken a shortcut! I want Alonso to lose speed but he cannot because the momentary judgment may create a dangerous accident! In 20th lap, Kubica had trouble and he was in pit, and finally he retired. In 26th lap, Pedro de la Rossa (Sauber) was touched by Adrian, Pedro's parts was broken and it was scattered the race road. The safety car was leaded other cars. It was the worst timing for Alonso because he had to drive through. He was 7th but he became 16th. The cause of the penalty was a shortcut of a while ago. The fight of the rookies was watched for 28 and 29th lap. I like to watch the rookies fight because they have different advantages each, such as, Vitaly is an analyst, so his driving very fluent, Jaime was a passionable driver like Alonso so his driving show terrific power occasionally! And Nico (Hulkenberg) is strong driver, he does the driving that is bolder than any one as if a person changed when he puts on a helmet. I love them and I want to cheer! However I love Alonso most!

But the race was not good for him, in 34th lap, Alonso overtook Sebastien Buemi (Toro Rosso), but in 50th lap, when he overtake Vitantonio their tires touched and Alonso's tire was flat, so he had to be in pit in emergency.

Finally Alonso finished with the 14th place, the winner was Mark, 2nd was Lewis, and 3rd was Rosberg!! I think the race was disappointed but it was interesteing, because Alonso couldn't get any points and Vitaly, too. Jaime retired in 44th lap because of braking. Three drivers could not get points. In substitution gor it, Nico (Hulkenberg) could get 1point! And Nico (rosberg) was third!! It was fantastic! I knew he is fast but this was the first time that to step on the winners' platform in this season. He is pleased, and his father will be pleased too.

The Grand Prix is interesting for me but Alonso could not get any point, I was very annoyed about it. In addition, I was convinced that he was very fast in this Grand Prix some other time. McLaren is also good condition, Lewis is point leader now. In Red Bull, a good rival each other. They are said that they are on bad terms since the Turkish Grand Prix. However I don't think so, they are a just rival. By chance they are same team, so as you can see the Red Bull is fastest like McLaren. I think they will get many points than McLaren, but I cheer Alonso! I want him to win! and get poins! And I wish all drivers' safety. Next German Grand Prix was in Hockenheim July 11th.

Alles Gute zum Geburtag, Seb!!

European Grand Prix

A month ago, on 26th June the F-1 Grand Prix in Europe. I watched it and I looked forward to watching this race. Because there was in Valencia, Spain! There are home grand prix for Pedro de la Rosa, Jaime Alguersari, and Fernando Alonso. Recently Ferrari's are not good condition, but McLaren is good. Last race, in Canada, I was surprised Lewis Hamilton, because he is so fast and his team is won! Jenson Button, his teammate, is second. I think that McLeren is so fast and good condition. Now Lewis is the point leader. And second is Jenson; Alonso is 5th.
Valencia street Circuit's type is street, it is 5,419kms and it has 25 turns. The deal to bring the European grand prix to Valencia was signed in 2007 between Bernie Ecclestone and promoters Sport Group. The new road circuit is based in Valencia's harbour area which was heavily rebuilt as a home for Americana's Cup Yacht race which ws hosted by the city in 2007 and 2009.
I want Alonso to do his best and safety every times.

At 9:00 p.m. (Japanese time) the race started. The drivers had to drive 57 laps, 308,883 kms.I'll introduce the grids, the poll position was Sebastian Vettel(Red Bull), the front row was Mark Webber(Red Bull), and the 2nd row was Lewis Hamilton(MacLaren). Alonso was the 3rd row, Vitaly Petrov(Renault) was 10th row, Nico Hulkenberg(Williams) was 9th row, Jaime Alguersuari(Toro rosso) was the row, and Nico Rosberg(Mercedes) was 12th.

The day was fine day. when the race started, in opening lap, Alonso overtook Mark, he was overtaken by many drivers. In first corner, Lewis touched Sebastian, but they didn't have any problems. In 2 lap, Jarno Trulli(Lotus) went to pit to change north, The tops were Sebastian, Lewis, and Alonso. In 3rd lap, Jarno went to pit again I though that he retired but he went out again. In 7th lap, Mark went to pit to change his tires, when he backed the race, the front was Virgin. Nico (Rosberg) went to pit to change his tires, I think that he is a good timing, I think that it is difficult the timing that to change the tires for F1, especially the drivers who fight in the middle, because if it is too late, they cannot overtake in the end of race. However the new tires are so fast, so it is too early to change a tire, they are wrong. But what said that I was good they had to drive 57 laps so he had to drive another laps, it was about 50. It is not too early I think, after that many drivers will go to pit to change the tires so he can overtake them without overdoing it. If there is nothing after... but it is a race not to go well. Mark would overtake Heikki Kovalainen(Lotus) but he crashed into Heikki's car. Mark and his machine turn a somersault. Of course they were not able to continue a race. At first I worried about their safety especially Mark. They were able to get off a car by their car, they were unhurt. I think that Heikki should have left the space for Mark, because his car was slower than Mark. I hardly believed my eyes, because the camera installed to his car caught the picture which flew in the sky. I watched it for the first time. A safety car was in the race as expected. This crash was an beginning of confusion. After that, Lewis overtook the safety car, It is unbelievable for me. As a result, Alonso became the tenth place. When the safety car was in the race a lot of drivers were in pit. It was too bad! because it is dangerous in the pit. Many drivers were in confusion. Especially Michael Schumacher (Mercedes) had a too bad timing. He became 3rd and he wanted to change his tires, so he was in pit, but the signal of the pit was red. He was not lucky, many drivers who had already finished to change the tires overtook he. When the race was restart, Sebastian was still the top, and Lewis was 2nd. And I was surprise because Kamui Kobayashi (BMW Sauber) was 3rd !! He has not finished to change the tires yet, but he is so fast! Recently he is not good condition but it is visible that he begins to show power. I think he is fastest of another Japanese drivers. I and many spectators could not take our eyes off him. When then, Alonso overtook Nico (Hulkenberg) so he became 9th, I though he would be top 3, but it was impossible. Timo Glock (Virgin) wanted to overtake Bruno Senna (HRT F1), and when he challenge it their car touched so they had to be in pit to change. Micheal overtook many drivers but it is too difficult to be top 10.

In 53th　lap, Nico (Hulkenberg) stop and retired because of engine trouble. He looked so angry I feel, though it was almost a goal, he must have been annoyed. And me too. I am a one of supporting him. He flung his glove against a road. Afterwards, in 54th lap, Kamui was in pit, he became 9th. I though he will finished 9th but he overtook Alonso!! And in final lap, he overtook Sebastien Buemi (Toro Rosso). So finally he became 7th!! Amazing!! I hardly believed my eyes!! He becoming faster, I feel. Finally Sebastian won, 2nd was Lewis, and Jenson was 3rd! And Alonso was 9th. After finished the Grand Prix, Alonso and Felipe Massa (Ferrari) were angry because Lewis overtook the safety car but he was inflicted with a drive-through penalty. However he was still 2nd, They said "It is strange" I though so, but it is cannot this, because he received a penalty. I want Alonso to calm down. I thought that he did good job and I want him to be going to do his best in next Grand Prix. He didn't need to attack about it. He got 2 points! However they have one more problem, it is "Speeding"! When Mark crashed with Heikki, many driver was is pit. Then nine drivers were infected +5 seconds penalty. Jenson Button, Rubens Barrichello (Williams), Robert Kubica (Renault), Adrian Sutil (Force India), Sebastien Buemi, Pedro de la Rosa, and Vitaly Petrov. I agreed this judgement. Because pit is too difficult in the Grand Prix. I think it because the drivers is protected to some extent by the cars, for example this crash. Mark and Heikki were safe! but in the pit there are a lot of human who is not protected. If an accident happens here, it become serious thing. I wish that avoid an accident as much as possible, so I agree.

I thought good that nobody injured, but I cannot forget the crash. I knew a thing that this sport was too dengerous! However I cannot come to dislike it. I look it while praying for the drivers' security, according to until now.
