Egypt congratulated itself on the volcano of its rebellion, all neighboring countries in both North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, as well as Bahrain. With such turmoil it was logical that the first race of this season was postponed by Bernie Ecclestone and the country's authorities.
So the 2011 Formula One maiden race is currently taking place in Melbourne, faraway Australia. With all the parchments of a world premiere the trials were crowned with absolute success as the Red Bull RB7 was the first to cut the "thread" with Sebastian Vettel taking the first pole position of the year. His teammate Mark Webber wrote his third year and tomorrow he starts behind Lewis Hamilton and McLaren (which this year has passed completely into the hands of Daimler AG and Aabar), something that many did not expect. The English pilot, however, copied the enthusiasm of the first Vettel and managed to "blow out" the car MP4 / 26, which after a difficult winter (complete lack of reliability and power), writing in the timers the second and fourth best time with Button.
Followed by Ferrari's Fernando Alonso who has vowed only victories this year, something extremely difficult when you have rivals like Red Bull or Mc Laren. Especially considering that so far these two teams seem to have a slight lead over Renaullt. Of course, it is still too early to predict situations, as the duration of the season is long and that is where the appropriate and crucial developments of the cars take place. And this is evident from the fact that Vitaly Petrov took the sixth place with the Renault R31, something that leaves a lot of hope for the French when the injured Robert Kubica returns.
The data so far show Red Bull to maintain a clear lead in tomorrow's confrontation with Vettel and Webber showing 1-2 favorites. Ferrari with Alonso and McLaren with Hamilton are fighting for third place in Australian predictions. Viewed !!!
