Formula 1: Chinese Grand Prix Review
BMW Sauber has sunk in the puddles to an all time low with the Chinese Grand Prix and something needs to be done asap. Less talk from Mario Theissen almost diffusers and more than work to be competitive.
Nick Heidfeld lined up on the grid in 11th identify after getting everything out of the motorcar with the best lap he could. KERS probably was the only reason he made it through to session 2 as the motorcar lacked overall grip and neither the pick of super soft or soft tire option mattered.
As far as Robert Kubica was concerned, he was not happy with the automobile from the time it landed in Prc and he was pinning his hopes that plumbing fixtures his car with the KERS device for the starting time time this flavour would assist. He hadn't used the device considering of it's added weight which combined with his actress weight being a heavier driver left fiddling room for ballast to balance out the car. Adding KERS for China almost seemed like a desperation motility and afterwards testing it out in Friday practise it was quickly removed proving it was a waste product of time.
Qualifying for Kubica was anything but spectacular. In session 1 his sector times were off the pace and each lap he did the car was near a full 2nd off the leaders. By the fourth dimension the session was over Kubica finished 18th just faster than the two Forcefulness India cars.
Race day came with hopes that Heidfeld using KERS may exist able to catch a point or ii and when the race started in the rain and Heidfeld becoming a wet weather specialist that seemed a definite possibility.
Rain wasn't heavy, simply there was a lot of h2o on the track surface forcing the race to outset behind the safety motorcar. For BMW Sauber, this wasn't the best scenario having overall grip bug combined with the low speeds of the condom car prevented any sort of heat build up in the tires. When the safety car pulled off, a absurd rail combined with low initial speeds made it very difficult for either Heidfeld or Kubica to get enough heat in the tires to make any headway at all.
On lap xiii Timo Glock tried an inside laissez passer on Heidfeld, bumped him and sent him spinning to the outside of the track. Afterwards letting most of the field through, Heidfeld connected, merely with damage to the car adding to the already hard driving. Nick did manage to work his way close to the points both through passing and attrition, but nearly the end of the race Adrian Sutil had a big shunt into the wall sending 1 of his tires rolling onto the track hitting Heidfeld and causing even more than damage to his machine. He concluded up losing 4 more places every bit a result and finished 12th.
If that wasn't enough, the Kubica's race wasn't any better. Visibility was terrible and driving behind another auto all just fabricated information technology impossible to come across. This caused Kubica's first incident of the day and information technology was a spectacular one. When Jarno Trulli in front end of him braked, Kubica didn't see this and piled straight into the back of him launching him up into the air and back to the track. Surprisingly the car sustained lilliputian permanent damage other than the nose and afterward a quick pit stop to modify the nose he was back out. Afterwards in the race Kubica striking some standing water sending him off the rail where once again he damaged his nose and was forced to once again come up into the pits for a new one.
Past the fourth dimension this painful experience was over both drivers did terminate the race, but Heidfeld in 12th and Kubica in 13th.
Now heading over to Bahrain there is but one manner to look and that's upwards.
