Prac Two: Ferrari tussle continues
Friday 29th June 2007

QUOTE
The battle of the two Ferraris continued in Friday's second practice session for the French GP, although this time it was Felipe Massa who had the upper hand.

The Brazilian posted a 1:15.453, edging Kimi Raikkonen out of the top spot by a mere 0.035s.

However, the shock of the session came courtesy of the Toro Rossos with Scott Speed and Tonio Liuzzi both finishing in the top five.

They were separated by Lewis Hamilton on the timesheets.

David Coulthard was sixth for Red Bull Racing, with Fernando Alonso a lowly eighth and half a second down.

The 25-year-old did not have a happy afternoon as he ran off the circuit on three separate occasions.

But then he was not alone as Massa and Raikkonen also departed the track, the latter spinning through the gravel in the dying stages.

Anthony Davidson was ninth in his Super Aguri, which required a new nose cone in the opening minute.

Davidson pulled out of his garage, only to clip the left-rear tyre of Liuzzi's Toro Rosso in the pit lane within seconds, which led to mechanics quickly dragging the Briton back in.

Further down the field, Jenson Button was 15th for Honda, who had promised improvements for this race, but with little in evidence.

Robert Kubica was back in his BMW for the first time since suffering a horror smash in the Canadian GP three weeks ago, albeit emerging with nothing more than light concussion.

The Pole appeared to be no showing no ill effects after being cleared on Thursday by medics to race again.

I think Speed's Scuderia Toro Rosso given special aero package as the Ferrari's tongue.gif

QUOTE

Scott Speed: I am not sure exactly where we stand, as you don't know what the others are doing in terms of fuel load.

Certainly we were on the low side when I did my quickest lap. The gearbox is definitely a step forward and the car was not bad today. We struggled a bit from understeer. This afternoon, I had a few problems, including one with the steering wheel, that prevented us from getting through all our programme, apart from looking at the tyre comparison and even that was not so conclusive as I had a problem on the warm-up lap for my last run. Generally, we look more competitive than we have in past races. Now we just need to work hard, keep our heads down and try not to make any mistakes for the rest of the weekend."

Nice job Massa.
If he lead after 1st corner...then should be ok.

Hope Kimi can hustle Lewis.

Massa puts Ferrari on pole as Alonso hits trouble


QUOTE
Ferrari's Felipe Massa will start Sunday's French Grand Prix from pole position, with the McLaren of Lewis Hamilton alongside him and team mate Kimi Raikkonen right behind.

World champion Fernando Alonso, however, is only tenth on the provisional grid after his car was struck down with gearbox problems early in the final phase of qualifying, preventing him from setting a time.

With the Spaniard out of the running, what looked set to be an epic climax to the fight between silver and red ultimately failed to materialise - Massa, Hamilton and Raikkonen were all unable to improve their positions after their first Q3 runs.

Thus Massa retained pole, with a lap of 1m 15.034s, while Hamilton shaved down from 1m 15.185s to 1m 15.104s, which was not sufficient to affect his front row position after he lost a little momentum in Turn 15, and Raikkonen remained third on 1m 15.257s.

Behind them, Giancarlo Fisichella bumped Robert Kubica from fourth with a lap of 1m 15.674s for Renault, only to have the BMW Sauber driver retake the position with 1m 15.493s in the two teams' war over third place in the constructors' championship.

Renault's Heikki Kovalainen once again backed team mate Fisichella strongly with sixth place on 1m 15.826s, pipping Nick Heidfeld who was sufficiently recovered from Friday's back problems to lap his BMW Sauber in 1m 15.900s. Jarno Trulli was Toyota's only runner to make Q3, and will start eighth on 1m 15.935s, and Nico Rosberg once again got his Williams through for ninth place and 1m 16.328s.

Ralf Schumacher celebrated his birthday with 11th place on 1m 15.534s, albeit as the first not to get through to Q3, and will have former BMW Williams team mate Jenson Button for company on row six, the Englishman lapping his Honda in 1m 15.584s. Button's team mate Rubens Barrichello was 13th on 1m 15.761s, ahead of Red Bull's Mark Webber on 1m 15.806s. Toro Rosso's Scott Speed (1m 16.049s) and David Coulthard (no time, after not running in Q2 due to gearbox problems) were 15th and 16th.

Tonio Liuzzi was the first faller in Q1, lapping his Toro Rosso in 1m 16.142s to lose out to Barrichello by two-thousands of a second. Alex Wurz was 18th for Williams on 1m 16.241s, followed by Takuma Sato and Anthony Davidson for Super Aguri (1m 16.244s and 1m 16.366s respectively) and the Spykers of Christijan Albers and Adrian Sutil (1m 17.826s and 1m 17.915s before his car rolled to a halt in Turn 9).

Frustrated Alonso hoping for wet race
Saturday, June 30th 2007

QUOTE
World champion Fernando Alonso is hoping for a wet French Grand Prix after a dismal qualifying on Saturday.

The Spaniard, 10 points behind teammate Lewis Hamilton in the championship, will start from 10th place on the grid after being hit by a gearbox problem at the start of the final shootout.

Hamilton, meanwhile, qualified right behind pole-setter Felipe Massa.

Alonso was unable to return to the track after his problems and so failed to set a laptime.

Now the two-time champion is hoping that tomorrow's expected rain helps him recover from his low position.

"If something like this happens to my rivals tomorrow and if I manage to score good points I'm sure I won't remember today's frustration, but it is disappointing to not be able to complete a single lap," the Spaniard told reporters after qualifying.

"But maybe tomorrow I'll be the lucky one and the rest will be unlucky.

"It's a lot harder and a lot more dangerous to start from the middle of the grid, but maybe it rains.

"It will be hard, but if I have to choose I'd prefer a wet race which is always a bit of a lottery and maybe I can benefit from that tomorrow."

Raikkonen and Ferrari firmly back in the title hunt

QUOTE
Kimi Raikkonen, Felipe Massa and Ferrari routed McLaren in Magny-Cours in Sunday's French Grand Prix, finishing more than half a minute ahead of Lewis Hamilton's McLaren.

The red cars opted for a two-stop strategy, Hamilton for three, but once the Englishman lagged off the dirty side of the grid at the start it was all over. Massa out-dragged him to the first corner, and so did Raikkonen.

The Brazilian then led until his second stop, but a heavier fuel load allowed his Finnish team mate to run crucially longer and he emerged from his own stop three laps later with a lead he preserved to the end. It was his second victory of the season.

Further back Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld grabbed another nine points for BMW Sauber with fourth and fifth places, the latter having some gripping duels with McLaren's Fernando Alonso. The world champion, who started tenth after his qualifying woes, was out of luck, finishing seventh (after a long second stop) behind Giancarlo Fisichella's hard-driven Renault, so his two points leave him now 14 adrift of Hamilton, who moved up to 64. Massa's second place leaves him third in the world championship on 47, but Raikkonen jumps closer with 42. In the constructors' fight, McLaren have 114 points to Ferrari's 89.

The final point went to Jenson Button and Honda, who turned in a solid performance that confirmed that the RA107 has improved. It was the first point of the season for both.

Behind them, Nico Rosberg had a pointless run to ninth for Williams, ahead of a lapped Ralf Schumacher in the Toyota, Honda's Rubens Barrichello, the Red Bulls of Mark Webber and David Coulthard, Alex Wurz in the Williams, Renault's Heikki Kovalainen, Takuma Sato in the Super Aguri and Adrian Sutil, who started from the pit lane after problems with his Spyker on the grid.

The race went wrong for Vitantonio Liuzzi and Anthony Davidson in the second corner when the English Super Aguri driver savaged the Italian's Toro Rosso, while further round the lap Toyota's Jarno Trulli ruined his and Kovalainen's races by hitting the back of the Renault. Like Liuzzi and Davidson, he was a retirement. Scott Speed's Toro Rosso failed on him - a suspected problem with the team's new seamless-shift transmission - and Christijan Albers retired his Spyker after dramatically taking the refuelling rig with him when he left the pits after his second stop. The mechanic he dragged over in the process mercifully escaped serious injury.

The result shows that the championship fight is far from over between Ferrari and McLaren, and after the red cars' speed in testing last week at Silverstone, Hamilton heads home with slightly less bright prospects of becoming the first rookie to win his national Grand Prix.

Hope for another one in Silverstone.

can some1 tell me briefly how kimi overtake to 1st position??

i heard massa saying something bout da traffic slows him down.
*
A few factors.

1. Kimi lapping faster after Massa 2nd pit stops...22 seconds in his pocket.
2. Kimi's pit stop 7.8 seconds, Massa 9.0 seconds.

Massa says traffic is the cause.
Dunno whether Massa not good in overlapping backmarkers or Kimi's just fast.
Hope Kimi can get pole this weekend and show what he can do.

Once those Ferrari's in front, not even a Ferrari can catch up.

All the headlines in the F1 sites are buzzing with Kimi or Raikkonen (the real one) name in it...
A single 1-2 victory and so much attention about it...
Ferrari still has a long long way to go and even about the WCC, they stand a lower chances due to the large gap in points and if Lewis constantly drive at such a pace, the Ferrari will definitely be facing some turbulence.

So disturbing listening to Massa's comments.
When I saw the repeat in ASTRO, I only listen to Kimi's tongue.gif

Oh ya, Kimi got more fuel during quali than Massa and Lewis.
So, it contributes too.

Apparently, the Spanish newspaper, Marca, thanked Ferrari for yesterday's victory, stating :-

"Thanks, Ferrari! Your double victory prevented Hamilton from extending his lead too much more"


http://www.f1i.com/content/view/7726/1/


....and people talk about British press bias !!!


Alonso making noise again.
Something about he'll let Lewis won this weekend since it's Lewis's home GP.
