Royal class the Next victory Ferrari:
Good luck or cold calculation?
Has not passed also five months, as vicinities Kulua-Lumpura again
Have heard a roar formular bolidov and have seen "multi-coloured"
Fans. This time the last was slightly:
All 75 thousand in comparison with 88 last year. All business in that,
That in 2000 of Grand prix of Malaysia it was spent in October, before
Final Japanese stage, same year FIA has transferred
Malaysian race on the championship beginning. A short interval between
Two these events has substantially affected on
Quantity of spectators on tribunes: many foreign tourists
Simply have not mastered two distant travel successively. Besides the prices
In nearby hotels have considerably grown in comparison with the past
Year. Organizers of race even have first decided to forbid the local
To TV outright to broadcast race to involve on
The autodrome is as much as possible spectators, but then, fortunately for
Malaysian fans, have changed the mind. According to the prime minister
Malaysia Mohathira Mohamada, despite all set forth above
Problems, race all the same has gone right on glory. "For the first time pilots
Have really felt, that such Malaysian weather from it
Unpredictable downpour... I think, what is it quite good experience on
The future ", - was noticed by the prime minister. In general, besides the head of the government in
paddoke it was possible to see many local celebrities, so following
For Mahathirom boksy Ferrari the queen of Malaysia has visited
Radzha-Permaisuri-Agong-Siri-Aishah.
nesprosta the attention of the high-ranking persons has been chained to
Ferrari, after all the command from Maranello it is undivided
Dominated throughout all racing weekend. Has begun as
Always all on Friday on free arrivals. The heat was simply
The terrible: for 30п temperature of air and nearby 50п - lines.
Ferrari showed advantage over the contenders on
Extent of all session. Mika Hakkinen as tried, is closer than
For a second with small to be tightened to "stallions" has not managed. However,
Ron Dennis has dropped the traditional: say, day training,
Prepared for race, after seconds did not pursue - on qualification
Will be differently... Running forward, I will tell, that words of the head
McLaren and remained only words. Excellent results
Racers Jaguar - one of surprises of the first day. Similar, Michelin
Has not in vain organised tests in warm Kjalami. Tyre covers on heat
Worked not bad and their quite good qualities, probably, confirm
Results of racers Benetton which has risen from depths peletona on
Places, worthy "fighting laboratory" Renault. Williams for the whole
Day could not prepare the car to Juan-Pablo Montoje. At first not
The gasoline pump worked, then electronics, then still something knocked
And as a result the Colombian has executed only five circles in rate
obkatki - on passing a line a course or at least as
It is necessary to meet it, to time at it does not remain. And
All the same, despite all disorders at Montoji, wards
Sir Frenka Williams have created, in my opinion, the main sensation
Not only qualifications but also, perhaps, all weekend. Ralf
Schumacher on the equal battled in qualification of Grand prix of Malaysia with
Leaders - racers Ferrari, and before final attempt
Even was the first. And still a poll-position has got not to it, and it
To big brother Michael. Ralf it has appeared as a result the third - Rubens
Barrichello has put in qualification an end, having outstripped
Schumacher-younger and only one tenth having conceded
To Schumacher-senior.
From Williams waited for surprises, but later, somewhere by the summer. At
Commands the excellent engine, probably, the best for today,
But to struggle for the first places to its racers while rather early - considered
Many - as at first should be tightened the French
shinniki. However already on heated asphalt Sepanga of a tyre cover
Michelin have allowed Ralfu Schumacher to develop the improbable
Speed, and that its success was completely not casual, has confirmed
Not less brilliant result Juan-Pablo Montojja. The Colombian,
For the first time arrived to Malaysia, from three and a half hours
Trainings a smog use only one - and it as on
Acquaintance with a line, and on car adjustment. And qualification
Has finished on the sixth position, having outstripped Vilnev, Coulthard,
Frentzen, Panisa!. Certainly, in race all left a little
In another way, but, despite all peripetias, Ralf, for example, was
The fastest on straight lines also has resulted the Williams on the magnificent
The fifth place, having gained thereby the first points as for the
Commands, and for Michelin. I am not afraid to seem the optimist, but,
In my opinion, and in the future races of season Williams will be
To impose worthy struggle Ferrari, let alone McLaren, at
Which has put now are not in the best way. A fighting spirit
Williams confirm also Ralfa Schumacher's courageous words: "We
Seriously progressed and were tightened and in the near future we can
To become a headache for Ferrari.
I hope, Michael will not manage to win nine victories successively,
Because one of the nearest races I am going to to win I. Ferrari
It is very strong, but anything invincible is not present, therefore we will be
To continue to be improved and then we will look... ". That,
Let's look...
To fans п?п?я п я п я -1 well-known, that Sepang saves
Reputation of "line Ferrari" (on its bill here three polls and now
Already three victories). Thus on a course of race to pilots Ferrari a little
Time has carried. But at all only successful coincidence of circumstances
Have allowed Schumacher and Barrichello to appear at height. For a long time
It is known, that Michael Schumacher's talent is especially brightly shown in
Non-standard situations. The third Grand prix of Malaysia excellent to volume
Acknowledgement. During the most intense moment it has accepted the exact
The decision, allowed to conduct race so, as if except it on a line
In general remains nobody. A result - 6th successively victory at stages
The championship - Michael has repeated record Alberto Askari, to which not
Was equal in a season of 1952.
In general race abounded with drama situations. Costs
To recollect Dzhankarlo Fisichella's problems after a heating circle:
He has forgotten where its launching site, and as a result is located
Has helplessly stood across a line, compelling the director of race
To postpone start; Ralfa Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello's collision
In the first turn; "visit" to gravel both Ferrari,
"Slipped" on butter from burnt down motor Panisa; suddenly
The begun tropical downpour, spoilt all game and served
The reason of a descent of Vilnev, Hajdfelda, Bernoldi, Irvine and
Montoji; and, at last, a drama in boksah Ferrari. Mechanics waited, that
Schumacher will arrive to change the shoes the first and in haste were accepted was
To establish on Rubens Barrichello's car sliki.
When it was found out, there was an easy panic and on pereobuvanie
Cunningly as a result there is more than minute. All this time behind, losing patience in
Expectation of the turn, there was Schumacher. At last, Rubens have released
With the world, Michael have served for ten seconds and both Ferrari were in time
To return on a line before sejfti-karom, which by then
Has already been deduced on a line because of a water considerable quantity on
To line. Thus, all this history did not cost Ferrari the equal
The bill of anything. The unpleasant situation has arisen and hardly later, when,
After "double" pit-stop, Michael has bypassed the partner,
Jarno Trulli who have tarried with passing. This maneuver of the German has upset
Rubens Barrichello. "To tell the truth, it actually was
It is insulting, - the Brazilian will tell later, - I have told to Rossu Brown, what not
I will strongly risk, as on a line still remained very much
Wet places. I piloted extremely accurately and soon
Has come nearer to one of Jordan. At attempt to overtake I have lost
Some a share of second, and Michael has used it. Though I
Assumed, that he will wait more a right moment for the such
Unsafe maneuver. And eventually once again it was necessary to me
To stop, so I all the same hardly would win race.
Though everyone happens... ".
It is impossible to ignore and desperate resistance Josa
Ferstappena which by turns gave persistent fight that to Hakkinen,
That Ralfu, to Frentzen. However, an explanation to it not absolutely
It has appeared to an everyday occurrence simple enough: Jos, counting
To pass race with two pit-stops, its beginnings on easier
To the car thanks to what has managed to rise so highly. Unfortunately,
On finish of race the Dutch has appeared on "unfair" the seventh
Place.
Not bad race has developed and for Frentzen. Despite all
Problems with car, the German it is masterful has resulted the Jordan on
Remarkable fourth place. "It was one of most
Fascinating races in which I when or participated, - has told
After finish Hajnts-Harald. - Struggle on a limit with Ralfom, Josom
And Mikoj it was simply magnificent. To me has really carried, that I
Participated in such race ".
Less successfully race has developed for BAR command. After the unsuccessful
Season start (I will remind, in Australia Panisa have deprived of three points for
Passing under a yellow flag, and Jacque Vilnev has got to terrible failure,
Entailed death of one of commissioners) the command hoped on
The best result in Malaysia. However already on the first circles of the second
Stage of the World championship both BAR have descended again: at the Frenchman has burnt down
The motor, and the Canadian has run away under a torrential rain and
Has got stuck in gravel.
So, has come to the end already two stages of the World championship of 2001.
Ferrari and Michael Schumacher are in the lead in both offsets, at 30 command
Points from 32 possible, in McLaren affairs go not in the best way,
Williams only just it starts to be tightened. And, in general,
The state of affairs in Ferrari seems optimum for
Embodiments during a life of their main task: gains again both
Titles. However we will not do hasty conclusions. Give
Let's recollect a season 2000 and it is comparable. During same time last year
McLaren was where in more worst position, than in it;
Then after the two first stages at the English command was not
Uniform point (to both Australia bolida have descended, and in Brazil
Reached finish Coulthard has been disqualified by the second,
Hakkinen at all has not finished race). In the same season in offset
Pilots David Coulthard divides the second place with Rubens Barrichello
(At them on ten points), and at Miki Hakkenena one point. Like
Not too all and is bad for McLaren. On the other hand, if hardly
Further to go deep into history п?-1 it is possible to recollect as much
Time has left at Ferrari in 1998 to reach the then
Level McLaren. Here is how makes comments on a today's state of affairs
David Coulthard: "The matter is that now our car is not enough
It is fast. Ferrari nagolovu above us, they do with us that we
Did with them three seasons back. It is necessary for us to work strenuously,
To improve our car, and be assured: we is exact also
Let's catch up with them as they have caught up with us in ' 98. But, unfortunately, to
The European part of the championship we hardly will achieve the considerable
Progress. It is final, not so pleasant to battle for the fifth and the sixth
Places but what to do, now we it such level... ".
Ron Dennis it is adjusted not so it is pessimistic.
"Now Ferrari possesses advantage in relation to us, -
The head of McLaren command recognises, - But wait Brazil.
We know, that we need to make and when we will make, we will look
Our car will be how much fast. We progressed in
Comparison with the first Grand prix, certainly we not could on the equal
To compete with Ferrari, but as a result the fastest circle in race
Remained for us. We already have a plan how to catch up with the Italian
Stable, and for this purpose we still have a lot of time... ".
Who will appear the rights Coulthard or Dennis? And there can be both of them
Will be not right also their niche will shortly occupy all more strongly and
More strongly growing Williams? The answer in general not for
Mountains, and already on the Brazilian Grand prix some answers we already
Let's receive. To wait remains very little... See you on
