RUSSELL VENCENDO BOTTAS, PIETRO ESTREANDO E VETTEL FAZENDO DRIFT NOS TREINOS LIVRES DO GP SAKHIR

George Russell led the two free practice sessions this Friday with Mercedes and is already giving us a taste of what we can expect for the weekend. We had a very interesting time there with several other teams and drivers and let’s talk a little bit about this now. Hello friend of Ressaca Formula 1 welcome to another video I am Matheus Pucci and then Friday was closed in terms of Free practice we had some debuts such as Fittipaldi and Jack Aitken also by Williams and of course George Russell at Mercedes, very cool situations that are happening this weekend due to the Grosjean accident and also because Hamilton is with covid, that is, some bad situations ended up opening doors for some drivers, before we get into the subject I want to ask for you let me like it, subscribe, activate Tinker Bell and don’t forget if you want to be a supporter, it’s down there so let’s not go to the video itself. In the first free practice we had what appeared to be very normal, Williams and Haas back there with Fittipaldi and Aitken being further back, this was expected because they are drivers who do not have constant contact with F1 cars so naturally they do not they were going to be able to get the most out of these cars then we had Magnussen there as well closing with Haas, Lando Norris did well but he stayed behind with McLaren, the two Alfa Romeo also staying further behind with Sainz also with McLaren or McLaren didn’t show a very nice pace in the first free practice, even though it’s still a very new circuit, they’re taking all the way in the car setup, no one has yet been to Sakhir’s outer ring, we have to remember that this is the first time they’re going walk in the outer ring of Sakhir so we had a different layout in 2010 if I remember Bahrain’s memory we had a few other different layouts but none was the external itself so we have then the teams looking for the best hit and some results can be a little surprising. Racing Point was also a little further behind and we had the Ferraris in the top 10, renault, the alphatauri surprising and showing a very cool pace in the fifth and sixth position and there Mercedes and Red Bull also getting tangled in the front remembering that the Russel in the first free practice managed to stay three tenths ahead of Bottas but Russel talks to DAS and the boots look like he had a problem in the car, he was damaged in the car, he was having some difficulty to brake in exchange for the Russell he may even have had the advantage of having DAS but he’s a little uncomfortable in the cockpit because he’s too tall, he looks like he’s 11 cm taller than Hamilton, something like that and with that he’s a little tight, he even at a certain moment he complains about his shoulders, he cannot have mobility as good as with the Williams car that is made there for him, for his height so Russel even with this difficulty managed to print a good pace and we we talked in the cafe and with speed in a special program for the supporters you who do not know this curiosity take a look there on the podcast here on YouTube and on the favorite aggregator we said that precisely Bottas he could be under pressure Russel also clear to show service but that we trusted that Russel was going to have a nice performance and I always have it there, at least so to say fight with Red Bull maybe but to be in first place and show a pilot performance that has been in the team for some time this surprises even to me who was very confident in Russel’s good performance I believe that if he keeps it to the qualy and also there for the race it will be a pleasant surprise and Bottas has to keep an eye out because Bottas is being threatened by Verstappen in the drivers’ championship already I said several times that it is shameful for Bottas he is fighting with Verstappen in the drivers’ championship he has a Mercedes and Verstappen a Red Bull who is a ca rro inferior whether or not so now with Russell, it was going to be a great opportunity for Bottas to win a race and to impose himself Russel is showing that he will not be so nice so imagine if Russell wins this race it would be very cool.

Anyway we 04:21 - got there the second free practice where we had some other interesting situations, Leclerc could not participate in the training practically had a problem there in exchange initially stayed out of all the training, we had Lando Norris also in trouble, had a problem on the floor afterwards he was unable to recover in time to go to the track, Sebastian Vettel made a lot of mistakes, he made a lot of mistakes during free practice and in this second section he also had a curious situation, he drifted in front of Magnussen and I even joked on Twitter if if Fittipaldi would have drifted with a finger, there is that history of overtaking at Senna, that situation and we had Latifi walking in front of Aitken, which is normal, Fittipaldi behind Magnussen, then Alfa Romeo stayed a little further up Bottas did not go very well, he continued to have problems with the balance of the car, making a lot of mistakes, Bottas made a lot of mistakes in this second section he also became more even the back tested mostly hard tires, Sainz has already improved their situation a little in terms of classification, alphatauri continued in the top 10, Stroll and Perez put Racing Point in the top 10, Renaults also in the top 10 and more a Russell and Verstappen in first and second. It is worth calling attention to a situation, the Red Bulls are complaining a lot, the two drivers are complaining about leaving the front, the car is leaving a lot this can be a differentiator at the time of the race because the slightest mistake can give a problem, an accident he can abandon the race, Bottas is having a lot of problems, especially at turn 8, he’s leaving the track too much , this can also cause problems for him during the race Sebastian Vettel also making too many mistakes, he couldn’t keep the car on the track. he says look I’m not able to stay here with this rear as it is then Vettel also have problems and we have all these drivers having problems in terms of keeping the car in line and Russel one more led, the session for more than Bottas made a faster lap but she was deleted for exceeding the limits of the track and what is curious that happened in both the first and second sessions, in the second session it was even more all the riders walking within the same second, this is very cool because for example in the first session we had 10 riders walking in the same second, ie from Russell to Leclerc and now in the second section we had 13 riders walking within the same second, the difference from the first and last session in the second session it was only a second and a half, this is very cool because we have a more compact grid as it is a circuit, a better layout saying that there are fewer corners and more acceleration the difference between the cars tends to be smaller just because you basically only need to accelerate so there are some curves, some cars that are better at medium speed curves such that you can have a nice time but in general there are less factors to distance the cars than in the normal layout so we can see yes something very close during the Grand Prix don’t be surprised if Perez arrives and wins a race sometimes a Renault or an Alpha Tauri because it can happen yes, I will not u tell you it will happen but it can happen what i believe is that this minimum difference in free training has a great chance of happening during the race and also in qualy, stay tuned and can charge me later if you have a long distance there it goes it was an error of judgment here that I made. Anyway, free practice was really cool, especially Russell giving his business card, let’s see if in the third free practice he can get more out of the car, be more comfortable and develop better work to beat Bottas, of course not. is that I’m hoping Russell will beat Bottas but it would be very interesting to see Russell fighting head-on with Bottas it would be cool, we also have Fittipaldi and Aitken that we will keep an eye on them to see what they are up to for us, beauty so that’s it i want to know your opinion in the comments don’t forget to do what i said about liking it too i must say i don’t know if there will be the magazine this weekend because we don’t have information about this layout, this layout it is too young no one has ever run it is kind of complicated to get information from a track that is the first time that it is running but let’s see if i can do something in the magazine, a big hug, thanks or. .
