"Yes (Singapore left the bad memories), but honestly, we've forgotten," he said before the race Boullier-15 series to this. "We fully understand why our performance was so bad, and the explanation is simple: slow corners with a speed of 60-100 km / h, may not occur at R31. It is written in its DNA.

"We have to work three weeks to set it, but we can not get a second in lap time record.

"Inilahlah what we know, and our medium-term mission is to make sure that we solve this problem with the R32, which will not be a problem.

"Something would be better for us on a faster track, and Suzuka is one of them. In Japan, we hope to return to a level of performance shown in Belgium and Italy. Our mission is to focus to bring our two cars through Q3. If so, Our weekend is better. "

James Allison engineering boss also revealed similar things. According to him, the Japanese GP this weekend will give better results for Renault.

"I would feel disappointed if we did not enter the top 10 during qualifying, to erase the disappointment of that found in Singapore."

Circuit layout is not compatible with this team made two pebalapnya thrown from the top 10, not suitable for translucent Senna targets top 10, where Senna is only able to be in the order of 15, while Vitaly Petrov sunk in position 17.

This fact makes Eric Boullier disappointed. Renault team principal is describing, the 14 series races into the appearance of "shameful".

Disappointment is growing again after Renault was fined for failing to provide information to Senna on the correct position when the race begins again. The race was punctuated influx SC, following the accident that befell Mercedes GP driver, Michael Schumacher.

Renault told Senna that he is fighting with Sergio Perez existing front street circuit, although the Mexican driver was a lap ahead. As a result, Senna tried to overtake his rival from the Sauber team so that a collision is inevitable.

Moreover, the difference in points they are very thin (see list).

"Of course there is the motivation (to finish in the order of two)," said Alonso. "It's difficult, but it is what you want, was the runner-up this competition."

"Also, the gap in the construction category with Red Bull and McLaren, 100 points ahead of Red Bull and McLaren nearly 100-lot, so if you can finish in the top two categories for the rider, of course very valuable for me."

Senna Refuse His Uncle Shadow

2011-09-25T20:22:00.000-07:00

Speaking of Bruno Senna, the Formula 1 fans would immediately direct the mind to the name of the legendary Brazilian driver, Ayrton Senna. This is because Bruno is the nephew of Ayrton Senna.

So, it's normal F1 fans have expectations high enough so that Bruno could repeat the triumph of Ayrton, who mastered the F1 arena in the era of the 1990s. Only, until now it (hope to samai Ayrton) can not be realized.

Senna set foot in the arena of new F1 in the 2010 season with the team Hispania. A year later, he digaet as third driver at Renault, and is now "up grade" to rider number two, as a replacement for Nick Heidfeld (Heidfeld was appointed to replace the injured Robert Kubica).

Well, now Senna was focused to face the race at the Marina Bay Circuit, Singapore. In a brief interview opportunities, Senna talks about his big-name relationship with her uncle.

Rider born October 15, 1983 is acknowledged, there are positive things from a big name Ayrton. Because, it's easier to attract sponsorship. However, he did not want to be associated with when dealing with menggeber Ayrton F1 car.

"The issue of race, there is no connection with the name," said Senna, in a press conference at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, Marina Bay, on Saturday (24.09.11). "I will only maximum effort to achieve good results," he added.

A little flashback, Ayrton including one of the legendary racer in the F1 arena, because the three-time world champion racing "pole" is, respectively in 1988, 1990, 1991. Unfortunately, the man born March 21, 1960, died tragically in an accident at the San Marino GP in 1994, while leading the race course.

Target 10 in Singapore

Regarding the target in the Singapore Grand Prix will take place on Sunday (25.09.11) night, Senna tried to be realistic. He just put up a target enters the top 10 in the race at the street circuit.

Senna, who last year had never felt the difficulty of this circuit when still with the team Hispania, disclose it due to the fact Renault are very difficult in Singapore. Because the layout of this track is not compatible with Renault, who liked the track straight and fast. Conversely, Sirkut Marina Bay dominated the corner quietly.

"I will try best to enter the top 10," said Senna,

Indeed, the difficulty had been apparent since free practice 1 and 2, which took place yesterday. In two sessions, Senna only able to be in the order of 16 and 12, so it is quite realistic if he had just set into the top 10 on the 14th race of this series.

About his ambitions for the long term, Senna insists he is only focused on removing all abilities. Because, with great effort that it's likely he can survive in the F1 event. (Reports direct from Singapore)

Petrov Sure About His Career in Renault

2011-09-25T20:15:00.000-07:00

Vitaly Petrov took no notice of the tight rumors circulated about his future at Renault Lotus Grand Prix team. Russia's most successful rider of this feeling remains safe, despite speculation to mention that in the 2012 season he would be expelled from the team based in Enstone this.

8 September 1984-born rider is feeling still has a contract until next season. That is, he had no reason to worry, as long as can be demonstrated promising performance.

"I think everything is okay. This rumor is just rubbish news in the newspaper. As we discussed earlier, at the beginning of the season we signed a contract two years, and I do not see anything to worry about," said Petrov, whose name is skyrocketing thanks to the success in the arena of GP2.

Indeed, the future of Petrov continued to be a conversation. Although still under contract, did not rule out the possibility she was thrown if the Renault team changed its ownership status or get new sponsors to support the new rider.

This signal has shown the team principals, Eri Boullier, who talked about the situation of Petrov during the race at Monza. On the occasion, Boullier said, "you have a contract, but there is a clause to get out for anybody."

Now, about this statement Boullier, Petrov responded as follows. "Everywhere in the world, a contract can be terminated, but not because I am having a bad season or because I had difficulty getting points. The contract could end up as a separate thing, money. This is why he said this. If you asked him with a question different, maybe he can answer it differently. "

"For me, and people who know what I do, it is just rubbish to talk about, although maybe I'm not right."

Petrov also believes that this season he has developed good compared to last year. Moreover, its performance could be better than Nick Heidfeld, who was appointed in place of Robert Kubica is still in the recovery process. However, Petrov admits that his performance during the race was not satisfactory due to good luck on his side.

To convince the Renault camp that he still deserves to be maintained, Petrov must show good performance in Singapore Grand Prix this weekend. However, the results on the first day of free practice has not demonstrated that he could surprise.

Yes, the two free practice at the Marina Bay Circuit was, Petrov was thrown from the top 10. In fact, he was also unable to compete with Bruno Senna. In the first exercise, Petrov in the 18th (Senna to-16). As for the second practice, Petrov only able to ride the four strips to a sequence of 14, while Senna in the 12th position.

Massa Mature Was Settled

2011-09-25T20:12:00.000-07:00

After plunging in F1 for nearly 10 years, the Ferrari driver, Felipe Massa, felt himself more and more experienced. Massa hopes to continue their work and achieve better performance in the coming years.

According to Mass on Thursday (22/09/2011) in Singapore, the competition in F1 today is much tighter than when he started his debut season in 2002. Therefore, the masses still want to compete with the younger riders to rely on experience for nearly a decade.

"Felipe Young always wanted to be the fastest in each round, but now I know when to push and when to be conservative in order to save the tires. I learned a lot from the experience and is now ready to compete with the younger riders," said Massa.

Massa was never a world champion for 10 last season. Achieved the highest achievement of mass is the second champion in the 2008 season. In this season, Massa achievements are also under his team mate, Fernando Alonso.

"My accomplishment this season was not satisfactory. However, I will continue to work hard to achieve the best results in the coming years," said Massa, who is under contract with Ferrari until 2012.

One DRS Zone in Singapore GP

2011-09-25T10:57:00.000-07:00

FIA, the governing body of Formula One, confirmed there is only one zone of DRS in the Singapore Grand Prix this weekend, on Wednesday (09/21/2011), in London. Determination of the zone DRS is done by taking into account the safety factor in the race at Marina Bay.

DRS is a system of reducing drag on the F1 car by moving the rear wing. If DRS is enabled, the car's speed will be faster and useful to overtake another car. However, this system has the risk of making the car unstable when used in the bend so it should only be used in a straight line.

According to FIA, DRS monitoring zone established after the third bend and the activation zone DRS after the fourth corner. DRS zone is the longest straight track in the Marina Bay.

With the DRS zone, fight antarpebalap expected to be more stringent and more attractive for spectators. Earlier, another car overtaking difficult on the Marina Bay race looks so boring.
