The sizzling 2011 grid getting ready with five world champions (part 1)
The 2010 Formula One season was extremely dramatic and of course, very thrilling for all its fans. Although the drivers as well as the teams experienced one of the most challenging and demanding seasons ever in the sport’s history of 60 years, yet it has
brought a new wave of excitement and exhilaration to Formula One.
Now, as the caravan of cars gets prepared for the next season, the same flamboyance and drama is expected to be seen once again. Even three months ahead of the certain raiser, the Bahrain Grand Prix, one can foresee an awe-inspiring and nail biting grid
getting ready. Seeing five world champions, Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button, Michael Schumacher, all equally greedy for another title, standing head to head at the same grid, is nothing less than a mind blowing spectacle.
The next calendar is certainly going to serve a very sizzling and savouring platter of speed, action, thrill and performance to auto world, as these super heroes come together for a brutal battle, ready to backlash anybody who comes in their way.
The Red Bull driver, Sebastian Vettel is the latest man in the list of the champions and of course a very deserving one. After fighting a very tough championship battle this season, the driver embraced the first championship of the career. The season saw
the driver do pretty well right from the beginning of the season, pulling his very fast RB6 brilliantly. With his five race wins and ten pole positions the driver proved himself to be a very well deserved champion, after an extraordinary season. All his top
rivals this season, Alonso, Webber, Button and Hamilton were ahead of him in experience as well as in age. However, his immense determination and courage not only allowed him to make a number of records, but he claimed the championship as well.
Vettel now stands as the youngest man in the sports’ history to have scored points, the youngest one to have earned a pole, also the youngest one to bag a race win and last but not the least, he is the youngest driver ever, in the long history of the sport,
to have claimed a championship.
Now, with the additional confidence and glory of a champion, the 23-year-old is expected to return next season with a new force and spirit. Moreover, the fastest car of this season, the RB6 is expected to improve even further next season as the great brain
of Adrian Newey, the chief engineer of the team, is busy redesigning a great car at the Red Bull factory for the next season.
So, the German’s youth and talent, combined with the speed of the Red Bull car, and the great strategy of Christian Horner, the youngest team principal, and the title winning Red Bull squad all together are expected to produce wonders on the 2011 grid.
At the same time, the next season’s McLaren car is also going to be very quick, and that means the team is going to be far more competitive next year than they had been this year. Bringing together two of the former world champions, Hamilton and Button,
certainly gives an additional advantage to the British squad that is led by Martin Whitmarsh. The team is to use KERS system in their package next season, which they have used earlier in 2009 as well. With this system, they will definitely be having one of
the most competitive cars as the team system is considered to be the strongest among all and next it will be also further improved.
To be continued…
