Bench Racing & The Morning Reads

I am hoping Michael Schumacher can hold in the top 6 through quali 3, and then it rains a bit on Sunday.

He is the rain meister and a win would set to rest his ouster from Ferrari so ungraciously orchestrated by the management there. Thank you Luca :cry

I also want Vettel to win the championship with Alonzo breathing down his neck at every turn until the last corner of the last lap.:bow

The "Tooner" should finish somewhere in the points , but needs a bit*ch slap for the way he behaved leaving McLaren after all they put in to him and all they flat out sucked up to give him his first and probably only title.:sick

The saddest thing of all is the loss of HRT, they put so much heart in to the sport only to fail for the lack of a few million dollars
 
It would be great sport to see Schumi and Vettel duke it out in the rain.

Hamilton and McLaren have both done each other wrong. Hamilton's punishment will be sitting in a Mercedes GP car by Brawn. McLaren's punishment will be dished out by Button.

I have to admit to being a bit of tifosi and hope Alonso has a strong Brazilian GP and finishes behind Vettel and Massa.

Paraphrasing Miracle Max; HRT is not dead just mostly dead. I hope the off season will bring some white knight to HRT's rescue.

Saturday, 24 November | Formula 1 ÔÇô Qualifying

Hamilton leads a Qualifying McLaren 1 ÔÇô 2 for the 2012 Brazilian GP . The sun did make an appearance during Q2 of a green flag qualifying for the Brazilian GP.

Q1 was the usual mish mash of cars and times. The back of the pack crowd took to the track early; laying down some rubber and warming the track for the rest of the field. The big names did not come out until the half way point was passed and quickly set the field. As the flag was falling on the session Grosjean ran into the back of an HRT and ended his day. Hamilton took P1, Vettel was in P5 and Alonso in P10.

Q1 Eliminations: [P18-24] Grojean, Petrov, Kovalainen, Glock, Pic, Karthkeyan, De la Rosa

Q2 saw Alonso out quickly trying to find some speed. He topped the field with 1'14.631 for much of the session. However, the McLarens and Red Bulls had not taken the field yet. Rosberg had the pace for the Mercedes team leaving Schumacher to struggle. He never did find the right set up or track position to advance and ended the session in P14. When the McLarens and Red Bulls took the track the field quickly shuffled. As the Session ended the big question mark was could Ferrari be bumped from the final session? At the 2 minute mark Alonso was in P8 and falling while Massa was dithering away just ahead of Shumacher. As the Q2 flag fell and final rounds were made the boys in the red cars were able to slip through to Q3 in P9 and 10.

Q2 Eliminations: [P11-17] Di Resta, Senna, Perez, Schumacher, Kobayashi, Ricciardo, Vergne

Rosberg set the first time for the final session and headed to the field until Hamilton took to the track around the half way mark. Hamilton set a 1'12:860 to take the top of the chart. In a few seconds his teammate Button would break into the 12's but slower than Hamiltons time. The session benchmark was set and who would beat it, if anyone was the only question.

Webber was able to break into the 12s fairly quickly. In all three sessions he seemed to have the quciker Red Bull car and was far more comfortable with the track. Vettel was another story. While he had shown bursts of qualifying speed in the first two sessions Q3 was shapping up to be a disaster for him. When the teams headed into the pits before the final flyers I believe he was listed in P10 after going wide in turn four of what should have been his best and penultimate hot lap. When the timing chart recycled before the final runs it listed Alonso in P5 and Vettel in P6.

The cars hit the track for their final hot laps making the circuit of the Sao Paulo venue just before the flag fell to stop the qualifying countdown clock. What remained is the lightspeed cliff hanger. Who would be the fastest back to home and take the pole? Webber was the first across the line and held the provisional pole long enough for the note to be written then Hamilton took the pole away with a 1'12:458 and Button slipped in just ahead of Webber's time. Vettel posted a 1'12:760 taking P4. Massa posted the last time in the 12s with a 1'12.987 for P5. Alonso was only able to turn a 1'13:489 for another P8.

Q3 Results: [P1-10] Hamilton, Button, Webber, Vettel, Massa, Maldonado, Hulkenburg, Alonso, Raikkonen, Rosberg.

The McLaren's clearly have the pace on a dry track. However, rain continues to be a big question mark for Sunday and the race. How the race to turn three is faught, who does or doesn't crash and who leads at that point will have a major impact on race strategy and the Driver Championship outcome.

Red Bull has already won the Constructior title. In the past they have not had team orders and it would seem unlikely for them to start now. If Vettel is to receive help from his teammate he will have to defeat him first.

What happens behind the P1,2 McLarens and P3,4 Red Bulls between now and the race start will keep reporters and pundits clicking away at their keyboards.

Will Massa suffer gearbox problems once again? If he does he would drop to P10 and more importantly Alonso would move up a spot. This is Brazil. Would Scuderia Ferrari management make it to the airport alive if they asked their Brazilian #2 to take one for the team once again?

The Stewards will have a hand in the drama too. Maldenado is currently in P6. During Q2 he failed to stop on the weight bridge. Replays clearly showed him failing to stop for the red weigh bridge red lights. The Stewards have a great deal of latitude in if and how they assess a penalty from no harm no faul to disqualifying his qualifying times moving him to the back of the grid. The latter would move Alonso up a grid spot.

This evening I will post an update with provisional results, press conference transcripts and more. The stage for the Brazilain GP is not officially finalized and set until four hours before the scheduled race start.

Stewards Decisions:

No action would be taken in the Grosjean / De la Rosa incident. This was considered a racing incident due to the nature of the track. Warnings were issued to all drivers.

Maldenado and Williams were not as lucky. A penalty of a Reprimand is imposed. This is the third Reprimand of this season, which will result in a
ten grid place penalty (as per Article 18.2 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations).

Alonso moves up one space. No news about how Massa's gearbox is doing.

FWIW

On first blush the 2012 Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix race and Sebastian Vettel becoming the youngest triple Drive Champion would seem the most important stories of the day. They are indeed big stories. They will dominate bench racing discussions for much of the coming months. Yet, for my money and for as big a F1 fan as I may be, the most important stories in today's thread are in the SBK and MotoGP headings. For now I will ponder F1 and no doubt pontificate at a later date. That story is history and I have time. The SBK/MotoGP stories are the future of our favorite forms of racing around here.

I hate stories like this. I picked Vettel for the championship and rooted for him all season long. I don't like cheating. I'm a bit of a Tifosi, okay I like Massa more than Alonso but I root for the Scuderia when Vettel was having an off day and a coin toss on even odds days.

I REALLY hate stories like this. It does nothing for me as a fan. It makes F1 and racing look bad. Either team that wins will have an asteric in the record book. I hate asterics in the record book more than I hate stories like this.

GS Trophy Day SIX..More

Munich / Huilo-Huilo, Chile. Day five of the BMW Motorrad GS Trophy 2012 was the competitionÔÇÖs second marathon stage, with a distance slightly over 400km and the complication of a border crossing to deal with as the riders returned to Chile. It was potentially even more of an ordeal given the arrival of rain that peppered the morning then deluged the afternoon. A special test had been scheduled for the late afternoon, after arrival in Huilo-Huilo, but due to the inclement weather this has been postponed until the morning of day six. Consequently there is no change to the GS Trophy leaderboard and Team Germany remain the competition leaders for the third consecutive day. ..More

Munich / Peuma Hue, Rio Negro Province, Argentina. Day four of the BMW Motorrad GS Trophy 2012 was intended to be an ÔÇÿeasierÔÇÖ day given that itÔÇÖs sandwiched between two marathon stages. However it didnÔÇÖt quite turn out that way, with two riders injured in crashes during the enduro special test and minor spills on the leg of the course that ran up to the Ventisquero Negro (Black Glacier) on Mount Cerro Tronador, fortunately without further injuries. Through it all Team Germany remained focused on defending their lead, which they managed ÔÇô in fact they slightly extended it. ..More

mc24.no: BMW retained its lead
BMW GS will be the #1 seller of heavy weight bikes in Norway; however, the news has a bit of an edge. Sales for BMW and number 2 selling H-D were down when compared to last year. Husqvarna came in 8th and also showed a decline. At first glance, marques that showed sales increases are known for a lower price point. Marketing departments will spend hours over good coffee trying to figure out what numbers like these portend for larger markets. Down at the official Fly-Over-Land coffee shop the article was a good reminder to have enough lefse on hand for the holiday season.

racer.com: Button wants more accessible tires

I am not a big fan of Jenson Button but when someone has a point you should listen. I wonder if the FIM and other parties in rule development should listen to his point also.

The basic point, as I understand it, is to widen the operating range of the tires which would decrease the number of tire options for a race. In turn this would simplify design and setup for the field in particular P11 and beyond. Keep in mind in F1 (off the top of my head) you have Super Soft, Soft, Mediums, Hards, Intermediates and Rain tires. The application range of a designation is relatively static but designs and compounding of these tires is not over the term of a season. This increases the complexity and cost farther down the grid.

Over in SBK tire management is a major issue for teams. BMW, with the V1, struggled for several seasons with unpredictability of compounds and how they worked. Kawasaki and Syke's rankings in their respective championship hunts are a direct result of problems with tire management. In MotoGP you have Single, Double and Triple compound, hardness grading and a rage of rain gear donuts. To what end?

As the FIM, Dorna and the various manufacturers debate rules Button may have a point they should naw on.

MotGP is the prototype class so let them play with all the compound combinations they want. While doing that take the idea and widen the range of the combinations to limit the impact the thickness of a teams wallet has on the impact of compund changes.

SBK rules make it a street based racing class. Manufacturers use it as a development class. This puts SBK bikes in a netherworld between the pure prototypes over in MotoGP and SuperStock 1000 bikes. News articles suggest the parties are trying to define the netherworld a bit more and unify the definition for FIM sanctioned series world wide. In the discussions for SBK rules does Button's suggestion go far enough?

Racing tires are a yin and yang of low and high tech. They are hand laid and as such are an art form with some variability from doughnut to dooughnut. The high tech formulas for the compounds are the yang part; changing and hopefully improving over the season.

Choosing to start on slicks or a rain option is part of racing strategy. However, I am tired of pedantic Monday F-O-L Coffee Shop debates along the lines of : If only rider X had made a different tire choice... . I remember, with great distain, BMW V1 press releases discussing how with the same setup, same track conditions the same tire compound selection the bike handled drasticly different.

Keep slicks as part of the separation of SBK from Superstock while allowing the maximization of performance for development. Limit the compounds. Sell them world wide to SBK races making them more of a manufactured item of the street based world than the donuts of the netherworld of MotoGP prototypes. I would be fine with a slick, intermediate and rain tire that could be manufactured and sold to SBK racers around the world. There are cost savings to be gained by all parties and buck or two to be made by the sanctioned tire manufacturer. For the fans it levels the racing. For fans and riders the emphasis of development is put back on the bike, its electronic controls and rider skills; not unlike what goes on in our garages and when we head out to play for sport.

What happened to my favorite thread?

The thread will resume with a post on Saturday then on a more regular basis after that.

I have been in bed for a week with Holidazzleitis a.k.a. Revenge of the Pit Crew. I am out and about again but still need a couple days to get back. At some point I will share the Holidazzel Parade 2012 adventure.

Thank you for you interest.
