Our drop in the ocean of a beloved sport

Thus, behind us is this year's mountain speed race Lučine, where we had a lot of fun, as always, despite some mild sunburns. It is difficult to single out only one racer who impressed the most, as they all performed with passion, joy and for their own pleasure, as well as the pleasure of the spectators, risking their health, which reminded us of Primož's overturning after last year's Slavko Zorman accident in Ilirska Bistrica. Tavčar, a (fairly) new dad, at the exit of the ninth bend, which fortunately ended only with rolled sheet metal. You may have noticed stickers of your and our portal svet-hitrosti.com on some racing cars, for which I have to thank Aleš Žakl (Yugo 45), Janez Bogataj (Renault Clio) and Igor Pokorn (VW Polo 75), who kindly resigned advertising space where it would otherwise

The return of the winning “finger” is inevitable

Ice corner

After a few seasons of relatively dominant races by Red Bull and Sebastian Vettl, many have been relieved this year. The Red Bulls already found themselves in trouble during the winter tests, as they drove only about a third of the laps as the Mercedes team did. Opponents of Vettl's "finger" felt additional relief and indulgence in the first race, and in the next three they probably watched in ecstasy the continuation of the problems of the team from Milton Keynes. Where did the current champions get stuck? The answer to that question is complicated, as it’s not just about what broke Red Bull, but also about what was going on at Mercedes and Renault. New rules brought new engines. Mercedes, as an engine manufacturer, is, like Renault, long before the first tests began before this year

One so, the other differently, both wrong

Ice corner

One so, the other differently, both wrong, could describe what happened in the race for the Malaysian Grand Prix, where Sebastian Vettel ignored team commands and overtook Mark Webber, while Nico Rosberg obeyed and stayed behind his teammate Lewis Hamilton. Who did the right thing? “Right” is such a relative term that it’s hard to judge. Everyone will do it for themselves, according to their morals, principles and fan connections. From a moral and sporting point of view, Mark Webber definitely deserved the victory in Malaysia, as he was even better than Vettl in the race, and he managed to overtake him only when the Australian limited the revolutions of his engine so as not to wear it unnecessarily, as will still have to drive with him this year. But if you want to succeed in Formula One, you have to do your best. One of the more controversial d

Ice corner: Funny conspiracy theories

Ice corner

In Germany, a conspiracy theory has been launched to the public that Lotus has an unfair advantage over Pirelli this year. How anyone can come to such a conclusion after just one race of the season can only be guessed at, and the fact is that some gullible people are stuck. The Germans, Auto Motor und Sport, to be precise, report that “some teams” are not happy with Lotus speed, and the names of these teams of course remain hidden, which is an obvious sign of a fictional story aimed at increasing clicks, visits, views and perhaps anything else. It’s a paranoid serving of conspiracy theories where reporters add up one and one to get five. It is true that Pirelli is using a modified 2010 season car supplied by Lotus, the former Renault, but hints that the Enston team has any benefit from this are
