Formula-1 in Imola: events, results, moments, characters and disappointment Formula 1

When it seemed that the next three days would give nothing special, Imola decided to surprise us by giving out a fire race. It is unlikely that anyone can admit that he was bored to keep track of the events that took place at Entzo and Dino Ferrari.

The author of this material was definitely curious about what a lot of thanks to the teams, riders and the unreliability of two cars. But it is worth admitting that before Grand Prix There was plenty of events, which I would like to tell.

Chaos a typical situation in the climbing

It would be worth it from what happened almost immediately after the previous stage. Resign from the post Oliver Oks. In his place was appointed Flavio Briator, but temporarily-the scandalously known Italian has no license from Formula-1 to this position. There is such a tradition in the Alpin, to change the leaders every year …

But the French did not stop there. How many leaders of the Alpin would not try to hide all this, no matter how much they give up messages, but what happened to have been saying for a long time: Jack Duen lost The wheel of the car, which was handed over by Franco Colapintto reserve.

And at first Briator stated that the Argentine would have about five races to demonstrate his talents, after which he quickly crawled and stated that he had never spoke of a time frame. Well, yes, yes.

Did you think that’s exactly everything? And here and no, the game again entered the Oks, or more precisely His brother Williamwho was arrested in England with a huge amount of money in his hands a few days. There was an inside that it was for this reason that Oliver no longer manages the team.

It is worth noting that since 2011 Oliver Oks has worked closely with Nikita Mazepin and his father Dmitry. As Fernando Alonso said, « Karma! »

« Pre -death » convulsions of President FIA?

At the end of this year, the election of the new President of the International Automobile Federation should take place. And for a long time, Mohammed Ben Sulaema, who has been holding this position since December 2021, has no competitor.

So until recently, until a potential rescuer (?) All current riders appeared on the horizon. Meet: Carlos Sainz Sen.two-time rally champion and the four-time winner of Dakar rally, as well as the winner of the 1997 champions races. And also the father of pilot Williams Carlos Sainz Jr..

It is fun that the 63-year-old Spaniard was not even going to participate in all this. But the situation within the vehicle forced some people to offer him this option.

Against the backdrop of a possible defeat (he just had a horrible rating among most in vehicles), Sulay decided to weaken a little bit of a grip with the Sports Code, by changing some points in favor of weakening the punishment. Plus the current president tries to appease Lewis Hamilton and his fan basket, giving his father a seven-time champion position in the Federation.

But Sulay would not be himself if not one « but ». In parallel with that he plans literally usurp power in Fia. Mohammed wants to allow himself to veto other candidates in the presidential race. You can always rewrite the constitution for yourself, world practice only proves …

Slogans against fauna

Fluffy and not very guests who jump out on the route-a phenomenon is quite common. Some famous vehicles can boast similar moments.

Unfortunately, given the speed of the car and the chaotic movements of these guests, sometimes all this leads to losses. This is the case during the first practice, when Pierre Szlezli knocked down a hare.

There are three stable things in the world: the death, taxes and curses of the second car.

Yuki Tsunoda conducted his fifth stage at the wheel of RB21. And yet it cannot be said that he has mastered it quite well. A problem with understanding all aspects of the machine led to crashes in the first segment of qualification.

By the way, thank you for another pilot who was not injured.

If you lower two small accidents in practices that were not dangerous, there is no other collision. This is Franco Colapintto in his first qualification after returning to the mechanics added a rocky work at night. Not the best start for the Argentine.

Franz Hermann gave ed bull holiday

The stage in Imola became the 400th in the history of the team in Formula 1 for the Bulls. That is why they wanted to celebrate this event with a victory. The benefit of Max Ferstapppen was able to qualify for the other race, behind Oscar Pastri.

And in the first turn, the acting champion escaped the leadership in Australian, who at that time was distracted by George Russell. As it turned out, it was a key point, because since then Max has not given leadership to anyone, until the finish.

Perhaps Ferstapppen helped a speech in Nureburgrinz tests Under the pseudonym « Franz Hermann ». Perhaps participating in an online gona before the Grand Prix, straight as a year ago. Well, or yet the team made a step forward and the car became better that the rider could not help but noted.

It should not be forgotten that this weekend was an anniversary for another team-Zauber spent his 600th race within F1. But, unlike Bull, the Swiss boast nothing: Nico Hulkenberg finished only the twelfth, while Gabriel Bortoleto would like to forget this race.

Two similar incidents with different solutions

The Eastban Okon on the 29th Circle was much fascinating the racing, which caused the virtual security machine mode.

At this point, Charles Lecler cursed the whole world: having gone to the early sweat-stop, Monegaska realized undercatus and ideally claimed fourth place at the finish line, and this was because he started the eleventh.

Pilots that have not yet stopped replaced the tires with less time losses, which is why the peloton mixed. But exactly the same episode occurred on the 46th circle when Andrea Kimi Antonelli came down. It happened in almost the same place, with a difference in meters.

But for some reason the racing director wanted to release a security machine this time. And at this moment, the whole world was already cursed by Lando Norris: many went to the sweat-stop, but not the British, because he replaced the rubber only for the circle to the east of Antonelli.

Why Markes made different decisions in two identical moments is unknown. Adding extra drama? Perhaps. And it is worth noting that it worked.

“The most united pilot in the world”

One would think that this phrase was said by either a lecturer or a norris, but no. There was another racer on the highway, who did not win, but lost through the east of opponents.

Aston Martin issued his best qualification of this season: Alonso found himself in the top 5, and the shannel was eight. Only in the race the situation has changed dramatically. Somewhere the wrong decisions of the team, somewhere, they played their role in the fact that both pilots of the British team completed the arrival outside the glass area.

At some point, Nando called himself the most unfortunate rider in the world. And if you remember the events of his career, his decision, 2010 and 2012, then you can in principle agree.

Failure at the first home stage

Antonelli was preparing for his first career at the F1 home stage, which was held near the place where he was born, raised and studied.

Especially for the race in Imola Andrea, he prepared a helmet with a tribute in honor of Ayrton Senna, who in 1994 died here on this highway.

In addition, to improve relationships with peers, an 18-year-old Italian invited 25 of his classmates to Paddok. Beautiful gesture.

But the qualification and especially the Grand Prix were the end of the weekend on the minor note. Qualista Antonelli failed, and he was able to rehabilitate in the course of the race, but the technique failed.

Nothing, in early September, Andrea will have the second attempt to perform successfully at home when the check -in will take place in Monka.

« Ferrari Stage »: American Hill Italians in Italy

The home stages for teams will always be special. No one wants to fail for their native stands. And Ferrari managed to roll her fans on such emotional swings that they accurately received the whole possible range of sensations.

It started with the fact that Lecler missed The day of communication with the press, after which it was even about a potential pass of the race. Fortunately, Charles got better and he went to the route.

During free training, Skuderia demonstrated good results: not great, not terrible. The catastrophe also occurred in the second segment of qualification, when neither Lecler nor Hamilton was able to force the tires to work. This led to double departure and start from the 11th and 12th places, respectively.

And in the course of the Grand Prix of Emilia-Romanya, the mood of Ferrari fans varied from optimistic to suicidal and back. As a result, Hamilton demonstrated his best result in an Italian career, and the lecturer was lucky to be left without a fine that would throw him in the tenth place.
