Vettel at a terrific pace to a new victory

formula 1
Sebastian Vettel staged a phenomenal ride in the race for the Singapore GP. In the last part of the race, he sometimes drove two and a half seconds faster than the other competitors and won his 33rd career victory in Marina Bay, or his seventh this year. In the first turn of the race, Vettl's lead was threatened by Nico Rosberg, with whom the current world champion made it to the second corner. The German then survived a safety car that nullified his advantage and eventually brought him to the finish line with more than a half-minute advantage over Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen. Immediately after the start, Rosberg, who started the race from second place, pulled alongside Vettl into the first turn. There, however, the Mercedes racer braked too late, drove over the curb and left the lead to Vettl. Fernando Alonso

Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel had everything under control in qualifying for the Singapore Grand Prix and took the new best starting position with seemingly ease. In the last part of qualifying, Vettel's competitors mostly opted for the tactic of two fast laps, and the current world champion was satisfied with the first time of 1:42.841. Only Vettel, Mark Webber, and Grosjean saved all sets of soft tires for the last part of qualifying, which gave them more room to maneuver. But Vettel showed what a test he is made of when he shot to the top of the timesheets with a lead of more than half a second in his only attempt. Most of the competitors decided to do another fast lap, and the German watched the action from the pits. Vettel was biting his nails as Nico Rosberg approached

Sebastian Vettel got his third free practice on Saturday morning after his second free practice on Friday. The Red Bull racer overtook Lotus racer Romain Grosjean by 1 seconds with a time of 44.173: 0.191, which he placed on a softer tire compound, and Mercedes Nico Rosberg was third. Most of the last preparations before the qualifications were again marked by longer series of laps on a harder mix. Mark Webber was the fastest in this phase with a time of 1: 46.220, and his teammate Sebastian Vettel took the initiative in the last ten minutes, when the racers installed even softer tires on the cars. Grosjean, who faced many technical problems on Friday, apparently picked himself up on Saturday morning and set the second fastest time of the third free practice. The third was Nico

The Italian Grand Prix in Monza started on the track with very little traction, as we experienced a rather strong storm before the start. The start procedure and the warm-up lap went without any problems for all racers, so the start was a bit more dramatic. Vettel pulled the best from the best starting position, followed by Massa, who closed in on his teammate. Alonso thus remained fourth behind Webber and fifth Hulkenberg. Already in the fifth lap, the Spaniard started to attack Webber, who also overtook him before the second chicane. It is also worth mentioning the collision between Perez and Raikkonen, where the latter rear-ended him and had to get a new front wing as a result. Interestingly, already in the sixth lap, Hamilton's Mercedes began to overheat, as a result of which he began to attack him and overtake Button. It arrived

Q1 Esteban Gutierrez was the first to start qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix, which was slowly followed by some others, but we only saw the real action on the track after five or six minutes. We first saw Vergno at the top, but soon the fastest lap was set by Alonso. Of course, the order changed all through, but interestingly, ten minutes before the end, Vettel had not yet driven on the track, and Webber was only in tenth place. We saw quite a few runs in the second half of the first part of the qualifiers. Everyone drove onto the track, and Vettel came to the top ahead of Rosberg and Hamilton. Vergne was very fast all through, but of course we are interested in those from the background. Chilton, Bianchi, Pic, Van der Garde, Bottas and Gutierrez remained out of the box.

Ricciardo “too wide” for the Red Bull

formula 1
  Daniel Ricciardo, who is one of the possible drivers to replace the outgoing Mark Webber at Red Bull next season, has admitted that he would hardly squeeze into the cockpit of the RB10. Adrian Newey is known for making the middle part of the racing car as narrow as possible (David Coulthard and Alex Wurz had similar problems years ago with McLaren's revolutionary but never driven MP4-18), and Ricciardo is said to have slightly wider hips than Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber, after whom the Red Bull racing car is designed for the 2010 season. "The problem is not in my rear side," explained the 24-year-old Australian. "Ever since I came to Toro Rosso, I had to try the seat a few times, and the team made this part of the cabin a little wider, so much so that I didn't have to sit right on the bottom made of carbon wool

At Red Bull, there will be a void at the end of this year, as Mark Webber is leaving the team. This is already well known to everyone, but the uncertainty remains as to who will fill the aforementioned void. Ricciardo is mentioned as one of the most serious candidates, who may have already tested the seat for the new Red Bull racing car. After quite a few rumors about who would take the place, Ricciardo himself has now come forward, saying: "If I get the chance to race alongside Vettel, it will certainly not be easy. Despite everything, I am sure that I will quickly accept the opportunity and prove to everyone that I am worthy of it. I believe in myself and that's why I know that I am capable of competing with the fastest." Despite everything, Daniel leaves the possibility of failure open: "If I don't manage to compete properly with him, I will know that at least I tried. But believe me, I will do a lot

Today, we reported that Daniel Ricciardo had already compared his seat at Red Bull for the 2014 sedo, which immediately sparked rumors of Antonio da Costa. The 21-year-old Portuguese is currently racing in the Renault 3.5 Formula Series, where he is not doing very well, which gives Felipe Nasr more and more chances. The Brazilian, who is currently racing in the GP2 series, has the best chance of a seat at Toro Rosso, and the money from two big sponsors would come along: Banco do Brasil and Sky Brasil. In addition to the mentioned sponsors, there is also Bernie Ecclestone, who definitely wants a Brazilian in Formula One. Of course, there is also Felipe Massa, whose seat is shaking a lot, which is why the little Englishman started helping Nasr: "In Formula One we need a Brazilian behind the wheel." It is very likely that Massa will be in season 201

Ricciardo on seat adjustment

formula 1
Daniel Ricciardo was in a hurry these days at Red Bull, where they were probably adjusting his seat in the new racing car for 2014. Of course, Daniel is currently in the game for a racing seat, but let's not forget that he also plays the role of a test driver at Red Bull. For both reasons, the seat could be adjusted for him, but according to Mark Webber, who is leaving for Porsche, the decision has already been made and it is for the good of Austria. There is no official confirmation that the 24-year-old Austrian will actually drive for Red Bull next season for the first time, and it probably won't be anytime soon, as they don't want to cause too much unrest among the rivals. Nevertheless, official confirmation will have to come sooner rather than later, because if there is anything to it, the news will not have to remain a secret for long.
