Jedna od tradicionalnih F1 staza, doduse u skorije vreme izmenjena skoro do u neprepoznatljivost, Silverston je mesto na kome je 1950. godine vozena prva trka za svetski sampionat. Trke pod firmom VN Velike Britanije voze se jos od davne 1926. godine a ovo ce biti jubilarni 70. put.

 

Duzina kruga: 5891 m

Duzina trke: 52 kruga (306,198 km)

Broj krivina: 18

Rekord staze: 1:33.401, Mark Veber, RBR, 2013

 

 

Staza je svoju danasnju inkarnaciju dozivela 2011. godine ubacivanjem potpuno novog "Arena" kompleksa sa novim pravcem start-cilj, boksovima i tribinama. Po karakteru je jos jedna snagaska staza gde motor resava stvar (i gde iz Honde obecavaju podijum ). Na stranu halucinacije izazvane delovanjem psihodelika, realno najvece sanse i ovde imaju uobicajeni favoriti u vidu Mercedesovog dvojca a da im se pridruze na podijumu borice se Ferarijevci i Vilijamsovci.

 

Znaci opet isto.

 

Ono na cega ce biti vredno obratiti paznju je rivalitet unutar Mercedesa. Na pocetku sezone delovalo je kao da ce Hamilton biti neresiva enigma za Rozberga, kada je u prve cetiri trke sezone zavrsio ispred njega, da bi se u sledece cetiri odnos promenio u korist Rozberga 3:!. Hamilton jos uvek ima prednost na tabeli sampionata ali ona iznosi samo 10 bodova, iliti po novom brojanju jedno 5. mesto. Takodje, posto je ovo staza najbliza bazama vecine timova, ocekuje se debi raznoraznih novotarija na bolidima koje ce biti koriscene u nastavku sezone.

 

Ono sto vec sigurno znamo je da ce i na ovoj trci vozaci Meklaren-Honde dobiti kazne od 25 mesta na startu zbog jos jedne kompletne zamene motora.

 

 

Pireli se odlucio za konzervativnu kombinaciju dve najtvrdje smese - (narandzastu) tvrdu i (belu) srednju.

 

Rekorderi po broju pobeda na VN V. Britanije su Dzim Klark i Alen Prost sa po 5, a u konkurenciji konstruktora Ferari sa 15.

Vreme:

 

Britain saw record-breaking temperatures for July in some parts of the country yesterday, and at Silverstone temperatures exceeded 32C.

 

This is far hotter than we’ve seen at most recent British Grands Prix, and although the coming days are expected to be cooler it should still be a very pleasant weekend for the spectators – a far cry from the persistent rain of 2012.

 

Cooler air from the west has brought temperatures down on Thursday, but by Friday they will be rising again. A sunny start to practice should see temperatures reaching the 25C mark. There is a good chance of overnight rain on Friday, after which Saturday will bring similar conditions.

 

At this stage race day looks like being a shade cooler and possibly cloudy. There is also a slight risk of a light rain shower on Sunday, but the likelihood of that happening will depend on how the weather systems shift over the next 72 hours.

Izveli Alonsa na stazu i riknuo ERS posle 6 krugova, zapravo sve vreme je bio na izdisaju pa je Alo bio sekundi sporiji.. Sramota!!!

Brutalna razlika izmedju Mercedesa i svih ostalih, na tvrdim gumama. Sa meksom smesom, razlika je malo manja, ali i dalje postoji veliki luft.

Sve i da Ferrari bude imao tempo na mediumkama, na hardicama ce Mecke praviti skoro sekundu po krugu.

Ma nema odavno nista od toga da Ferari moze da izazove Mercedes, davno je to palo u vodu.. U bilo kojim uslovima Mercedes je ubedljivo najbrzi, samo bih voleo neku kisu da vidimo uskoro, mozda tada neko uspe da ih pobedi..

[Duh sa sekirom]

Mauricio je najavio da Ferari više neće ići na "glory run" tokom treninga nego puni goriva, kao za trku da bi imali jasan pogled na situaciju. Ne znam šta su radile mečke, ali ovo bi možda moglo značiti da situacija i nije toliko loša i da merdže možda i nisu svetlosnim sekundama daleko...

Videćemo...

Mecka pod istragom:

 

The stewards are investigating whether Mercedes broke the rules by covering Nico Rosberg’s car when it was brought back to the pits during first practice.

 

Rosberg came to a stop with a hydraulic fault during the first half hour of the session. Afterwards the stewards noted the team “covered the underside, rear diffuser area and the front wing” while bringing it back.

 

Formula One technical delegate Jo Bauer directed the stewards’ attention to this he considers it a breach of the Sporting Regulations.

 

Article 27.4 states: “During the entire event, no screen, cover or other obstruction which in any way obscures any part of a car will be allowed at any time in the paddock, garages, pit lane or grid, unless it is clear any such covers are needed solely for mechanical reasons, which could, for example, include protecting against fire.”

 

While the article does note that covers are allowed to be “placed over damaged cars or components”, according to Bauer “the car hadn’t suffered any kind of accident damage” and therefore “this in my opinion is a breach of article 27.4″.

Hamilton za slabiju formu na zadnjih par trka krivi kvacilo:

 

Lewis Hamilton says he is pleased to have switched back to an earlier version of Mercedes’ clutch having blamed a newer one for poor starts in recent races.

 

Hamilton started from pole position at the last race in Austria but was immediately passed by team mate Nico Rosberg. Hamilton said he had been unable to make good starts with the new clutch, and has reverted to the old one this weekend.

 

“I’ve gone back on clutch set-up which feels really good so far,” said Hamilton, “just like it did in the first few races.”

 

Hamilton said his first day of practice was “not perfect” after ending second practice almost half a second off his team mate. “We’ve got some work to do overnight but the pace is decent,” he said.

 

“I didn’t have the ideal balance on the long runs and I’ve got a bit of work to do on set-up. But otherwise it’s all been good.

 

“The tyres feel strong – it doesn’t take too long to warm them up which is a positive.”

 

“Saying that, Ferrari look strong again here and they were right there with us today,” he added, “so it should be a good battle.”

 

“Hopefully we’ll find a bit more tomorrow otherwise we could find ourselves in trouble.”
