Shanghai -Although
able to perform as the Grand Prix series champion in Malaysia three
weeks ago, but the actual performance of Ferrari in the 2012 season so
far has not been reflected as a great team.
Ferrari is always difficult to compete with the two main rivals, Red Bull Racing and McLaren Mercedes. Not
only that sometimes the 'Prancing Horse' also lost rapidly from
Mercedes GP, Lotus Renault or even Sauber, a team that uses the engine
from the Italian manufacturer.
It occurs in both qualifying sessions and the free practice sessions, as well as in the third series in China this time. Alonso
performed poorly in the three free practice sessions and only able to
start at No. 9 on the race today at the Shanghai International Circuit.
Alonso
and his Ferrari duo competition from Mercedes, Nico Rosberg and Michael
Schumacher, who started 1-2 and Sauber driver, Kamui Kobayashi! Responding
to these facts, Alonso admitted he had not dared to speak much about
the championship title, although the current standings.
Furthermore
Alonso, Ferrari is still much to be correct because after the time
interval of three weeks after the race at Sepang, it has not been a
difference, especially on the speed of the car.
"We
all focus on the next race. I think a champion is Ferrari target every
year, because of the history and the way this team race, with a passion
to win. But obviously we're not stupid," Alonso said in Autosport.
"We
know we are still lagging far behind and in need of repair. One second
is a big difference to be fixed, but the car had a big problem in terms
of aerodynamics, which gives us optimistic if the team could be better,
perhaps not one second. But with a large time difference if we can fix all the shortcomings, "he continued.
"This
is our first priority. When we're satisfied with the car, we'll see how
big the gap was. It was too big because everything is going well,"
added the Spaniard driver.
After the China GP qualifying, Fernando Alonso once again complained about the slow pace of his F2012 car. He was then again asked Ferrari to compete immediately clean up this season.
Shanghai - The results of the race Lewis Hamilton leads the standings with a value of 45 riders. Followed by Button, who collected 43 points and Alonso, who collected 37 points behind. While Webber and Vettel in fourth and fifth positions standings with 36 and 28.
After occupying pole position in qualifying, Nico Rosberg's championship Shanghai GP. He
successfully outperformed McLaren duo, Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton,
who had to settle for finishing in the order of two and three.
In
the race that took place at the Shanghai International Circuit on
Sunday (4/15/2012) afternoon local time, Rosberg started the race well. Mercedes team rider managed to maintain its leading position through the first corner.
A good start would eventually like Rosberg describes the appearance of the race: okay. Five-lap race took place, 26-year-old German rider had been leading a second ahead of Schumacher. The distance was then widened to 4.1 second of five laps later.
Rosberg, who had dropped to third, scored the fastest time, ie 1:42,551 seconds, on lap 15 with medium tire compund in his car. After
Sergio Perez entered the pit, Rosberg climbed to number two and shortly
thereafter took over the leadership race of the hands of Felipe Massa.
Until the mid-lap race, he continued to lead in front followed by Romain Grosjean, Button, Vettel, and Perez behind him.
On lap 49, the distance to the rider behind it widened to 25 seconds. He also did not seem to be chased away again until it came out as champions.

Shanghai, - Most upset Kimi Raikkonen. Until lap 47, the Finnish rider and 2007 world champion is already in second place. What power, which only apply the strategy team twice pitstop backfire former McLaren and Ferrari drivers. Because tire traction is not optimal, it was easily overtaken Vettal dengnan lap 48. One lap later turn scrubbing Hamilton and Webber and then diikutiMaldonado, Grosjean, Alonso so he finished ranked 14th.
Mercedes racing car W03 driven by Nico Rosberg incredible racing. German rider who started from pole position has won the race series III China F1 circuit in Shanghai on Sunday (15/4). He completed 56 laps in the fastest time 1 hour 36 minutes 29.929 seconds. Means,
until the third series is already spawned three different winners
(Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso in Australia in Malaysia) and in
China this Mercedes 1-2-3 finish.
Jenson Button won the second place the wipe to-51 managed to overtake Sebastian Vettel. MP4-27 car driven by Button is very fast and he should have won this race if the tragedy in the pits on lap 40 did not happen. When the pits, Button in the lead and the crew is replacing the left rear wheel had a little problem. So, when slipped into the pit sixth.Slowly but surely, the former world champion in 2009 was able to grab the second position. A remarkable result. He is ranked second with a total of 43 points behind.While team-mate Lewis Hamilton finished third after a calculation done following the last one lap ahead of Vettel (lap 55). With this result, the former world champion in 2008 was able to maintain the top position with 45 points while.And
Vettel are trying to reclaim the performance of the engine seemed to
lose quickly with Hamilton, so he had to settle for finishing fourth. At
this race, world champion in 2010 and 2011 are still using the old
exhaust, so that power is not as good as his car that Mark Webber has
mamakai new exhaust design.
If the race is still two more laps, it is not possible to bulldoze Vettel Webber. Because, he can almost do it on the last lap. Even
if the front left wheel and the rear rider to Australia was second off
the track and the front wheel had shot up high (like going to fly),
perhaps the result would be different.
Schumacher is definitelyIn taking 56 laps, Nico had led from start to finish without getting resistance. Nico won three of the achievements in China this appearance. First, this is his first victory after starting 110 times in the F1 arena. Second, at the Shanghai circuit was also the first pole position. And third, he controlled three-quarters of the race.
Although, its leading position was taken Jenson Button on lap 35 when Rosberg entered the pits changing tires. Unfortunately,
Button could not defend it when it should be languishing in the pit a
dozen seconds on lap 40 due to crew got a little problem with the left
rear tire change. As a result, when dropped into sixth position trajectory. But, supported by good engine performance, it can achieve maximum results with finishing second.
Unfortunately, Nico Rosber success is followed by teammate Michael Schumacher, who started in second position. 7 times world champion had a chance to show of skill by continuing to stay in second place. Carelessness when changing a tire mechanic who forgets to lock the bolt in lap 13, making it to stop.
