There Aren't Enough Bobbleheads in the World
Feet Up Friday – There aren’t enough bobbleheads in the world Christine: We’ve just had two back-to-back races and now we’ve got back-to-back Feet up Friday’s, this almost never happens anymore. Mr C: It feels like we are underway, the season is go and it’s been non-stop from the first green flag of the year. This is the first break we’ve had, a little bit of downtime for Sidepodcast, but still we are recording a new show for you, that’s how hard we are working this year. Christine: But after two races in a row we’ve got three weeks off now and then there’s another two races and then there’s another three weeks off, it’s just weird scheduling this calendar. Mr C: It’s a crazy calendar, but it makes sense for the people who have to endure it. If you are a Formula 1 team who has to pay personnel to go off overseas, back-to-back races makes a lot of sense. You can cram in a lot of action, you can cram in a lot of racing in a fortnight, and then you can get back to base and save yourself a lot of money and in these troubled economic times, that is essential, so you can’t hold in against… you cannot hold the calendar against the people who have to go out there and live it. Christine: No. And having three weeks off gives us plenty of time to ponder everything that happened in Malaysia because my goodness that was a controversial race.

Rast in Front of “Rocky”: Audi with One-Two Win in Moscow
Audi MediaInfo Communications Motorsport Daniel Schuster Tel: +49 841 89-38009 E -mail: [email protected] www.audi -mediacenter.com/en Rast in front of “Rocky”: Audi with one-two win in Moscow • DTM rookie sensationally becomes “mid-point champion” in DTM • Second victory scored in DTM and lead of the standings reclaimed • Mike Rockenfeller with broken foot in position two Neuburg/Moscow, July 22, 2017 – A rookie has sensationally become the DTM’s “mid-point champion.” With a lights-to-flag victory Audi driver René Rast recaptured the lead of the standings in the first of the two DTM races at Moscow Raceway in Russia. In spite of a broken foot, Mike Rockenfeller perfected an Audi one-two win. René Rast continues to cause a sensation in his first DTM season. In spite of never having been to Russia before and knowing Moscow Raceway near Moscow only from the simulator, the driver from Audi Sport Team Rosberg secured pole position on Saturday and went on to clinch one of the rare lights-to-flag victories in the DTM. With that, the German, after nine of 18 races, is leading the standings by a narrow margin, trailed by Lucas Auer (Mercedes-Benz) and Mattias Ekström (Audi). “It was an awesome race,” said Rast, following his second DTM victory. “The car was mega, the pit stop superb – a big thank you to the team! Being in the top spot of the championship again is a tremendous feeling.” No less impressive was the second place clinched by Mike Rockenfeller who, following his accident at the Norisring in which he was not at fault, raced with a broken left foot, having to use his right one for braking at Moscow Raceway.

Press Information 2019 Bahrain Grand Prix Saturday Press Conference Transcript 30.03.2019 DRIVERS 1 – Charles LECLERC (Ferrari) 2 – Sebastian VETTEL (Ferrari) 3 – Lewis HAMILTON (Mercedes) TRACK INTERVIEWS (Conducted by Paul Di Resta) Q: Charles, it’s your first ever pole position in Formula One, your second grand prix with Ferrari, you’ve looked in control all weekend, and you’ve got the job done. Charles LECLERC: Yeah, I’m extremely happy. Obviously in the last race I was not very happy with my qualifying – I did some mistakes in Q3 – and I really worked hard to try to not do the same mistakes here. It seems we did quite a good job, a front-row lockout and yeah, extremely happy. Q: How hard is it to come to grand prix tracks and be up against a four-time world champion in the same car and try and get that task and take that [pole]? CL: It’s obviously extremely hard because Seb is an amazing driver and I’ve learned a lot from him and I will probably learn all year long with him. But today I am very happy to be in front of him, so yeah, it’s a good day for me. Q: And the plan tonight. CL: Oh, going to sleep and work hard for the race tomorrow. Q: Sebastian, you line up on the first row of the grid. You had to use an extra set of tyres in Q2. Did that compromise your last run and leave a bit of safety there? Sebastian VETTEL: Yeah, of course.

Pirelli: Low Degradation on a Demanding Track
PIRELLI: LOW DEGRADATION ON A DEMANDING TRACK Monza, September 8, 2012 – McLaren has claimed its third one-two in qualifying this year, thanks to pole position for Lewis Hamilton, who set a time of 1m24.010s at Monza, just ahead of his team mate Jenson Button. McLaren now equals the record of 61 one-two results in qualifying, held by Williams. Both drivers used the P Zero White medium tyre, which has been nominated along with the P Zero Silver hard tyre this weekend for the fastest circuit of the year. Once again, conditions were dry and warm for qualifying at Monza, with 43 degrees centigrade track temperature. Most drivers started the first qualifying session on the hard compound: only Marussia and HRT went for the medium compound. Some drivers were completing longer runs than usual during the session, with up to four flying laps as well as an in-lap and an out-lap in order to get the best out of the hard-wearing Silver tyre. Lotus stand-in Jerome D’Ambrosio was the first of the frontrunners to move onto the medium tyre in qualifying one, taking part in his first qualifying session since last year’s Brazilian Grand Prix. Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso was quickest in the first session, using the hard tyres. D’Ambrosio was also the only driver to start the second qualifying session on the hard tyre, while the other 16 competitors began the session on the P Zero White medium. Alonso was again quickest in the second session, having established his benchmark time on his first run with the mediums.
