German Monaco a challenge for the Formula 3 Euro Series drivers

25.06.2008 - This weekend, the Formula 3 Euro Series drivers will have to prove their skills on Nuremberg’s Norisring, representing the second season highlight following the event held on Pau’s tight street circuit. Because of its special atmosphere and the location next to the ‘Dutzendteich’, the 2.3-kilometre Norisring also is called “The German Monaco”. Italy’s Edoardo Mortara (Signature-Plus) will travel to Nuremberg as championship leader, with rookie Mika Mäki (Mücke Motorsport) from Finland and the Netherlands’ Renger van der Zande (Prema Powerteam) following close behind.

For Mortara, the season so far ran really well. In five of the six races contested to date, the young man from Geneva made it to the podium. In France, he secured his first win of the season, thus giving Volkswagen their maiden Formula 3 Euro Series win at the same time. While all the other five wins were clinched with Mercedes-Benz power. Mika Mäki, runner-up in the championship and leader in the rookie ranking, is the only driver who succeeded celebrating two race wins, this season. And the Norisring suits the Finn particularly well: to date, the Finn contested for car races in Nuremberg and claimed victory in three of these races.
Following a one-race weekend break, rookie Stefano Coletti (Prema Powerteam) also is back on the Formula 3 Euro Series grid. The Monegasque replaces previous Prema Powerteam driver Charlie Kimball (USDA) who unexpectedly lost a sponsor.

Nico Hülkenberg (ART Grand Prix): “The Norisring always suited me well. No other track on our calendar offers as good overtaking opportunities as this circuit. Furthermore, the atmosphere in the paddock erected next to the Dutzendteich is unique. It’s my goal to keep my error rate in the race as low as possible. In a perfect world, the result would be a race win but scoring as the highest possible number of points is far more important.”

The Formula 3 Euro Series is covered live or re-live in 20 countries. Furthermore, Formula 3 Euro Series race résumés are broadcasted in numerous countries.

a presión es cada vez mayor en Williams
Los pobres resultados podrían provocar cambios
25/06/08 13:10


El FW30 no ha estado a la altura de sus rivales
Después de varias carreras en las que no se han obtenido los resultados esperados, uno de los ingenieros más importantes de la escudería Williams, Rod Nelson, podría estar en la cuerda floja según diferentes informaciones.

El Director Técnico de Williams, Sam Michael, no estuvo el pasado fin de semana en el GP de Francia y toda la responsabilidad del equipo recayó en Nelson.

Rod Nelson llegó en 2007 a Williams procedente de Renault, donde fue el ingeniero de carrera de Fernando Alonso con el que el piloto español consiguió sus dos títulos mundiales.

En Williams se convirtió en Ingeniero Jefe de Operaciones, pero según publica la revista suiza Motorsport Aktuell, sus jefes, Patrick Head y Sir Frank Williams, han quedado decepcionados con su trabajo.

Head, copropietario del equipo, ha calificado la actuación de Williams en Magny Cours como un 'rendimiento muy mediocre.'

ART Grand Prix with three drivers in front

27.06.2008 - Free practice at the 2.3 kilometres long Norisring was marked by a fascinating battle between the drivers of the Formula 3 Euro Series. Eventually, Nico Hülkenberg (ART Grand Prix, 0:49.411 min) came out on top. Behind him, Jules Bianchi (ART Grand Prix, 0:49.516 min) and James Jakes (ART Grand Prix, 0:49.573 min) completed the triple success for ART. A total of 26 drivers ranked within one second with their respective fastest lap times.

During the one-hour session, some drivers swapped places on top of the leaderboard. After a quarter of an hour, Jules Bianchi was on top, but soon after, Richard Philippe (Carlin Motorsport, 0:49.711 min) took the lead. The Frenchman was involved in a battle for the leading position with Nico Hülkenberg, which eventually was decided in favour of the German. Hülkenberg was in the lead at the halfway-mark.

A few minutes later, Hülkenberg’s team-mate James Jakes was the first driver to lap under 50 seconds. However, his lead wasn’t to last long either: firstly, he was outpaced by Bianchi and then by Koudai Tsukakoshi (Manor Motorsport, 0:49.644 min) and Hülkenberg. With ten minutes remaining, the French rookie improved his own fastest lap time to 0:49.677 minutes.
However, it wasn’t enough for him: almost at the same time, Nico Hülkenberg and James Jakes outpaced their team mate. While Bianchi steered into the pit lane, he was beaten by Dani Clos (Prema Powerteam, 0:49.613 min) and Tsukakoshi as well.

With five minutes left, Hülkenberg was in the lead from Jakes, Clos, Tsukakoshi and Bianchi. In the closing stages, the leading German was able to improve his own best time once more, while his two main rivals Jakes and Clos entered the pit lane three minutes before the end of the session. However, the Spaniard didn’t give up yet, he started another attempt. However, it wasn’t enough for a successful attack at the fastest lap time. Instead, he lost another position to Jules Bianchi who moved up into second.

After 60 minutes, the final order was Hülkenberg from Bianchi, Jakes, Clos, Tsukakoshi, Christian Vietoris (Mücke Motorsport, 0:49.651 min), Philippe and Jon Lancaster (ART Grand Prix, 0:49.755 min). Series’ returnee, Stefano Coletti (Prema Powerteam, 0:51.017 min), who took the place left vacant by Charlie Kimball at the Prema Powerteam after having missed one race weekend ended up last.

“It was good. My car felt well and it was fun. Now, we only have to repeat this in this afternoon’s qualifying”, said Nico Hülkenberg, delighted with his first position. His team-mate Jules Bianchi, who has never raced at the Norisring before, was also happy: “Nico was only fastest in the first corner”. Bianchi’s impression of the track is as follows: “It isn’t easy and very bumpy. Because the track is so short, being better isn’t easy. When you look at how close all the lap times are here, that becomes clear, too.”
Fourth-placed Dani Clos intends to attack: “This was only free practice, the times don’t mean a lot. But we have done a good job and my clear goal for qualifying is pole position. I think this could be possible here.”

Third pole of the season for Hülkenberg at the Norisring

27.06.2008 - Nico Hülkenberg (ART Grand Prix, 0:48.696 min) was the fastest of the 29 drivers in qualifying of the Formula 3 Euro Series at the 2.3 kilometres long Norisring, The test driver of the Williams Formula 1 team will be starting from pole position for tomorrow’s seventh season round. For the German, it was already his third pole position of the season. Mika Mäki (Mücke Motorsport, 0:48.737 min), Koudai Tsukakoshi (Manor Motorsport, 0:48.822 min) and James Jakes (ART Grand Prix, 0:48.946 min) ended up second to fourth in qualigying, Jules Bianchi (ART Grand Prix, 0:48.978 min) was best-placed rookie in fifth place.

Seven minutes before the end of the session, Hülkenberg claimed the top position. Soon after that, he improved his own fastest lap time again. At that time, he was almost 0.3 seconds clear of second place. In the final stages, Mika Mäki still came close with his personal best time, but Hülkenberg retained his first position. Mäki was able to outpace Japanese driver Tsukakoshi, who had been second up to that point.

After one third of the session, qualifying was interrupted for a few minutes. Christian Vietoris (Mücke Motorsport, 0:49.557 min) had hit a wall and his car had to be towed away. Eventually, the Mücke driver was classified only 27th.

Nico Hülkenberg (ART Grand Prix): “Finding a clear lap with 29 cars and making no mistakes was not easy at all. However, at the Norisring, pole position doesn’t mean as much as at other circuits. After all, here it is fairly easy to overyake. The additional point is the most valuable at Norisring.“

Mika Mäki (Mücke Motorsport): “At the start of qualifying, it didn’t go well at all. I didn’t have a good feeling and I was stuck in traffic all the time. Things only got better towards the end. I gave everything and two laps before the end, I made it into second place.”

Koudai Tsukakoshi (Manor Motorsport): “For me, it is the first time at the Norisring. Braking is particularly important here. Initially, my car was really good. I slightly clipped the wall with my second set of tyres and after that, handling was affected a little but. But generally, I am happy with my third place.”

Air temperature: 23.5 °C
Asphalt temperature: 29.5 °C

Hülkenberg unbeatable at Norisring

28.06.2008 - At the 2.3 kilometres long Norisring, Nico Hülkenberg (ART Grand Prix) celebrated his second season victory in the Formula 3 Euro Series. The 20-year old test driver of the Williams Formula 1 team won with a margin of 6.651 seconds over Koudai Tsukakoshi (Manor Motorsport), who came second. Behind Jean-Karl Vernay (Signature-Plus), the points leader, Italian Edoardo Mortara (Signature-Plus) took the chequered flag in fourth place. After his victory, Hülkenberg moved up to second in the points’ standings.

At the start, Mika Mäki (Mücke Motorsport) outpaced Hülkenberg, who had started from pole. However, under braking before the Grundig-hairpin, the Finn missed his braking point and the German went past. A few metres later, Mäki collided with rookie driver, Jules Bianchi (ART Grand Prix). Both drivers retired.

From that time on, Hülkenberg’s victory was never in jeopardy, just like Tsukakoshi’s second place. Vernay, on the other hand, only moved up into a podium position on lap 13, when he overtook Rodolfo Gonzalez (Carlin Motorsport) in the battle for third place. For the Frenchman, it was his first podium of the season.

Nico Hülkenberg (ART Grand Prix): “Today, it is a great day for me with this perfect result. I have scored many points. It would be perfect when I could also score many points tomorrow. Of course, now I am happy. The team gave me a perfect car again. The experience of my ART team just becomes clear, they have been unbeaten here at Norisring since 2005.”

Koudai Tsukakoshi (Manor Motorsport): “I had a good start and benefited from the collision in front of me. I had a little lack of grip and this is why Nico Hülkenberg today was just too quick for me. Tomorrow, I will be starting seventh and a podium finish is my goal.”

Jean-Karl Vernay (Signature-Plus): “Finally, I have made it on the podium this year. That was very important for me. Hopefully, this is a boost for many more podium places in the races to come.”

Victoria de Nico Hülkenberg en Norisring
sábado, 28 junio 2008




Nico Hülkenberg (ART) ha obtenido la victoria en la primera carrera celebrada este fin de semana en el Norisring. El piloto alemán probador de la escudería Williams de F1 ha salido desde la pole y ha ganado sin oposición alguna. Segundo ha sido el piloto de Manor Motorsport, Koduai Tsukakoshi y tercero el piloto de Signature-Plus, Jean Karl Vernay.



Mika Mäki ha salido bien y se colocaba primero, pero se ha metido por el interior mientras Hülkenberg traccionaba mejor y se iba por el exterior, con lo que el finlandés se ha colado, encontrandose con Jules BIanchi que no podia evitar golpearle acabando con la carrera del finlandés, por otra parte, Jean Karl Vernay tocaba a James Jakes que se quedaba fuera de carrera, Gonzalez después de una mala salida se comía el piano y se metía por el interior a la vez que Vernay tocaba a Jakes. Mientras, Hülkenberg lideraba por delante de Tsukakoshi, Gonzalez, Vernay y Clos. La salida como suele ser en Norisring ha sido muy accidentada, y Dani metiendose por el interior salía indemne. Con Gonzalez haciendo un tapón, detrás se situaban Lancaster y Mortara.
Finalmente el piloto de Signature ha rebasado a Gonzalez después de recuperar la P4 que le había arrebatado Dani anteriormente. Con Vernay en la tercera plaza, Dani ha intentado rebasar al venezolano, han llegado en paralelo antes de la Boschkurve, pero Gonzalez una vez le había ganado Dani la posición se ha pasado de frenada y a punto ha estado de llevarse al piloto español. Dani ha tenido que frenar y girar para no colisionar con el de Carlin perdiendo dos posiciones a favor de Lancaster y Mortara. La lucha entre Mortara y Lancaster ha sido realmente complicada, y finalmente ha sido el actual lider del Campeonato el que ha ganado esa batalla entrando en la cuarta posición. Sexto ha sido Christian Vietoris, que ha ido de menos a más durante todo el fin de semana.
Con la necesidad de sumar la mayor cantidad de puntos Dani ha empujado fuerte, pero en la lucha con Robert Wickens por la sexta posición Dani ha dañado el alerón delantero y se ha visto obligado a entrar en boxes perdiendo así toda opción. Una vez cambiado el morro de su monoplaza Dani volvía a pista para subir todas las posiciones posibles de cara a la carrera de mañana. Finalmente Robert Wickens ha sido séptimo por delante de Erik Janis; que mañana partirá desde la pole; y de Henkie Waldschmidt. Renger van der Zande, de Prema Powerteam completa el top ten. El tercer Prema, el de Coletti, ha acabado justo detrás de su recién estrenado compañero de equipo.
El lider sigue siendo Edoardo Mortara con 38 puntos, pero ahora segundo en detrimento de Mäki que no ha puntuado nada sube Nico Hülkenberg con 25. Mäki tercero con 19 por 17 de Renger van der Zande y Christian Vietoris.
