F1-China Grand Prix: The point….by Gian Carlo Minardi
The China Grand Prix showed an interesting variable concerning tyre compounds. The interesting fact is that in a gap from 3 to 4 degrees, performances can notably change, making the championship even more exciting. We have to make our congratulations to Nico Rosberg, one of the best pilots of the grid, who made a perfect week-end: from the pole position to the victory. I’m pleased to see the German pilot, who runs for Mercedes team, breaking the leadership of the world champions. After Button and Alonso, Rosberg.

Honor to the winner. At the end of a thrilling World won the strongest rider with the best car, even though his team was not error free. Most likely without all those episodes would have won the championship with 100 points higher on other opponents. The security and certainty of having the best car in his hands gave him the opportunity to take risks, leading to the success of their pilot.
As already happened in other occasions, including at Yeongam the weather has created uncertainty, moving the course of the Grand Prix. The oil that oozed from the new road surface and especially the arrival of the tornado, which has delayed the start (forcing the pilots to compete in low light) has helped to give us a run full of emotions, accidents and errors such as Mark Webber, which affected not only his weekend and his ranking but also the course of a Rosberg, who was catching up with great determination and speed, and Lewis Hamilton at the restart after the safety car returned to the pits.
Ferrari on the track in Singapore, as it did in Monza, he has worked very well guessed technical moves, aided by a big booty Fernando Alonso who made full with pole position, fastest lap and victory.
With the Grand Prix of Italy Ferrari got all his fans rushed to circuit (where they exceeded the 120,000 in attendance all weekend) a better reaction. The men in red have made the best strategy, though it remains to regret the departure of Alonso in slow motion.
The circle around the drivers from here until the end will fight for the world is increasingly estringe and Lewis Hamilton, thanks to his technical qualities, is certainly among the favorites. It is under these conditions that we see the real champions.
More controversy emotions in Valencia for the return of Formula 1 in Europe. Apart from the spectacular crash between Webber and Kovalainen is not nothing happened. As we have seen in previous editions of the track in Valencia does not allow any overtaking.
It was a long time since I watched a race so exciting. Before the crash between the two bearers of the house had four Red Bull cars packed in just two seconds. After this unpleasant incident as serious, Red Bull is likely to throw away a championship that is dominating right now, because of the reliability and the internal struggle between Vettel and Webber.
The Monaco Grand Prix Mark Webber gave us a literally wild and reclaimed a plus. Despite the three safety car that had canceled his advantage, was able to find immediately the right pace, leaving behind him all his opponents, including teammate. Command of the championship victory and more than deserved.
The end result of the Spanish Grand Prix accurately reflects the forces in the field this season, with a Red Bull unstoppable unless reliability problems, as we saw with the clear victory of Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel accused by the problem on ‘ braking system
“And ‘disarming to see how the cars of Red Bull are glued to the ground. Do not suffer from understeer and can afford to jump with great ease curbs. They have incredible traction out of corners, where they do not lose anything against their opponents that they can count on the innovative F-duct. “These are the first words of Gian Carlo Minardi, reached by our microphones at the end of the qualifying session that opened the 2010 season of the F1 European Grand Prix.
Once again we have seen a fun race, thanks in part to adverse weather conditions. For the analysis of the Chinese race but we must make a distinction between the results of the qualification and the race.
