The circuit is situated at the dockside, the temperatures is between 30°C to 40 °C maximum in June. The track was designed by Hermann Tilke. It has 57 laps and 25 corners where turn 9 and 10 are the trickiest corner to overtake. It will be the debut of the Pirelli's Medium tyre compound in the race. Along with it Pirelli's Soft tyre compound will be used as the option tyres, two DRS activation Zone. Qualifying will be very important for the drivers at the track of Valencia.
Track has a variety of tight corners and has a very less chance to overtake. Its first inaugural Grand Prix was in year 2008 where Felipe Massa who drove from Ferrari’s was the winner. But this year Ferrari’s is struggling hard to beat their rivals.
Scuderia’s Chief Designer, Nikolas Tombazis is very optimistic despite of their lesser points for winning the championship title. “How well these next few race go will decide whether or not we feel we are still in with a chance of fighting for the championships this year, even if we are quite a long way behind in the points.”
He also added that coming four races will be very important for their team moreover they will introduce some more upgrades with many changes in their cars at the British Grand Prix.
McLaren has reason to stay more positive for wining the race this weekend after the brilliant performance shown by Jenson Button at the Canadian Grand Prix. Whilst his team made Lewis Hamilton had a collision with Button which lead him to retired the race.
Lewis has been in limelight since few races for his aggressive driving and over takings. Do you reckon is it because he does not have a fast car as Red Bull’s or that he is putting to much pressure on him while driving for wining the races?
Despite of many criticism, F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone defence that "I have seen a lot of drivers in my time, a lot of great drivers, I have seen them come and seen them go. And I tell you, Lewis is one of the best. People pay to watch him. He is a racer. He is exciting and that's what everyone wants. That's what people pay to see. Yes, of course, he is involved in some incidents, but if he wasn't then he wouldn't be a racer would he?"
Mercedes’ Michael Schumacher had his best encouraging weekend so far and for the team as well at Canadian Grand Prix. After being so close to P3, he manages to secure his place at P4. I hope that both the drivers come up with better results at the European Grand Prix
Force India’s drivers had a bad time at the Canadian Grand Prix. Both drivers ended up with the unsatisfying results for the fans and the team. Force India’s chairman and team Principal, Dr Vijay Mallya is very optimistic about this weekend race “After the low downforce challenge of Montreal, its back to high downforce in Valencia. We continue to push hard with the development of the car, mainly on the aero side with several small detailed additions this weekend.”
So what do you reckon, who will win the race at the European Grand Prix? Vettel can still dominate this weekend with his RB7? Will Force India be able to gain some points or better results? How stiffness is going to affect the setup of the car?
hey f1 girl i would say this is the one of the best blog u have written so far great job and i think vettel is going to dominate this week force India should be able to get some points this week stiffness yes i think so depending on track conduction the car is going to set up to have enough grip in new Tyre hope to see more blogs good 1 keep on writing :)
ReplyDeleteVettel holds a clear advantage but we cant leave behind Button or Alonso or Hamilton or Webber, it will be fun to watch all of them fighting out for the Pole n Race win!! i hope Force India gets a double point finish, they should get it but it will be very tough..!!
