Separados no Nascimento (27): Frentzen X Robby Gordon


Hoje, conversando com o meu amigo Wellington Lucas, do ótimo www.
formulaoneaddict.blogspot.com
, blog parceiro do VEL MAX, tive uma idéia envolvendo Fórmula Indy, a grande paixão do Wellington.
No MSN, lembrei do Robby Gordon, piloto que eu adorava ver em ação. Mandei um vídeo do americano controlando seu Walker a quase 350 km/h com um pneu furado em Michigan. Pô, fodástico!

(é só clicar se você quiser conferir)

Enquanto Gordon voltava para os boxes, apareceu a imagem on board e achei o capacete dele, modelo usado apenas entre o início dos anos 90 até 99, ano em que tentou retornar para a Indy, muito parecido com o do alemão Hein Harald Frentzen na F1.
Na verdade, olhando a montagem acima, o capacete do Gordon parecia uma versão americana do capacete do Frentzen.
O Wellington me ajudou a achar as fotos e, here we are, SEPARADOS NO NASCIMENTO nº 27: Frentzen X Gordon.

Germany Grand Prix (Nota 7,5)

+ Hi, it´s the first review, completely, in english of VEL MAX.
So here we go.

+ I´m very sorry about Sebastian Bourdais. For me, his poor performances it´s morr a case of poor machinery than driver´s fault.

+ Sebastian Bourdias in Toro Rosso = Yannick Dalmas in Larrousse / Bernard Schenneider in Zakspeed... it´s a shame, a wastefulness.

+ Probably, Nelson Piquet Jr is in this “fired” team, too. Be fired in the middle of the season is very bad for his public image, but, in reality, achieve success in F1 it´s very unprobably. Reach the F1 level it´s, for itself, a great victory. Become a winner in F1, is for a little percent of the greatest PREDESTINED drivers in the world.
Probably, Nelsinho, how we call him here in Brazil, is so good how he father said in early 2008, but F1 is a very complicated game. You must have good car, and, VERY IMPORTANT, be able to drive this good car, fastest than your tem mate. After this, “easy part”, you must be a very good lucky guy... because Michael Schumacher was probably THE GREATEST, but mus have been THE LUCKIEST in the 90´s anda early 00´s years.

+ EXAMPLE: I´m a brazilian. I speak portuguese. I know what i can writte in portuguese, how it´s so much easier to me... but in english, my text, for a while, still is less funny than if i were writting it in portuguese.
So the final product it´s not so good the way it could because i´m still not completely familiarized with the english language... the same way the driver could be great, but don´t “understand” the car behavior... or the car is made for a kind of drive style that the driver is not able to do... so, sometimes, the driver cannot be fastest as everyone was expecting and it´s no ones fault.

+ Bourdais in Renault X Piquet in STR????? I´´ll not make a “R.I.P post” for Bourdais. Who Knows if Piquet and the french change their team, they could be able to achieve more points in the championship.

+ Talking about achieving points in the championship, yesterday was, really, the day that Mark Webber was waiting for, since he start in the motorsports. Everything (mainly, Brawn GP mistakes, ehehehe) was conspiring for a victory of the australian, but Nurburgring 09 was his best performance since he moved to RBR.
Great job!

+If anybody have doubts if Ross Brawn is or isn´t human, Nurburgring 09 is the answer. The genius make mistakes too. Since the incredible Ferrari´s mistakes with Massa in last year, i don´t remenber a team that ruins a race of one of their drivers, like what happened with Barrichello. It´s like Brawn GP just have one driver: Jenson Button.

+ More annoying than twist for Barrichello, is be Barrichello. Poor GREAT DRIVER. He made everything right, but finished behind his teen mate... sixth placed.
POOR GREAT DRIVER. ( in rain conditions, GREATEST DRIVER)

+ Yerterday, Button drived like he was sick. Probably this championship will be determined in the final races, like the 1991 championship, when Senna dominated in the earlier and almost lost the title in the second half of the season for Mansell in the superb Williams Renault.

+ Except for Timo Glock, Nurburgring was great for the germans. Nico Rosberg made a great job, closing the race in really good forth place. Adrian “PINBALL” Sutil made an impressive performanse in his modest Force India.
Really, really , really great job until... CRASH! Adrian was involved in other stupid acccident.
Curious how, when happen an accident, Sutil probably is involved... and probably, only Adrian has to retire or go to the box. Oh, boy...

+ Adriam Sutil = Earlier Eddie Irvine?

+ Waw! What happened with Toyota team?????

+ Waw! What happened with BMW team????? I feel sorry for my “brother” Kubica.

+ IRONIC MODE ON

But, that´s not soooooooooo bad in the bavarian team. This time, Heidfeld it chose a helmet “not so ugly”.
Good news... remebering The Beatles, “It´s getting better all the time”.

IRONICO MODE OFF

+ Fisico? Are you still there? Yes, he does! Giancarlo made a very good race for the Force India´s level. Finish the race in the middle field don´t look great, but, FINISH ahead of Williams, Mclaren, BMW, Renault and Toyota drivers, in a race with just one retire for tecnichal problem, in dry conditions, was really great.

+ GOOD JOB Mister Vijiah “Dhalsin” Mallya.

+ Speaking about Renault, More one good race for Alonso in his slowly, and ugly, car. And about Piquet? Man, probably he is so disappointed
with the team, like the team is showing disappointed
with the brazillian.

+ If Alonso don´t have a good car... imagine the “car” Piquet is driving...

+ Very good job for the unluckiest driver of the lasts years: Heiki Kovalainen maneged to achieve very importante points for Mclaren... and made it, running in the front of the field, with de old Mclaren chassis model.

+ Just to explain the situation, Hamilton, with the new car, didn´t make so much better when he was in conditions to fight for positions.

+ Finishing, will Rubens keep motivetad in Brawn GP? Will Sebastian Bourdais comeback to USA? Will Nelson Piquet Jr be fired?
This, and other answers in Formula One, soap opera written by “uncle” Bernie Ecle$$$$tone...

PS: And we show you the funny side of the motorsport here, ever in VEL MAX!


Bye,
see you later,

Separados no Nascimento (26): Gil De Ferran X Roberto Cabrini

No final dos anos 90, quando o Cabrini era correspondente internacional da Globo, os dois pareciam irmãos gêmeos (exceto por Gil, ainda em plena atividade, ser um pouco mais magro).
Domingo a tarde eu via o Gil de Ferran nas transmissões da Indy, no SBT, e de noite, via o Gil De... , ops, Roberto Cabrini (eheheh) no finalzinho do Fantástico.
Hoje já não é tão visível a semelhança entre dois. Gil, como 99% dos pilotos "aposentados", está bem acabadinho, já o Cabrini parece ser um dos clientes do Dr Ivo Pitanguy.

OBS: amanhã tem mais Gil De Ferran por aqui

Um abraço,

"Hoje, é um novo dia, de um novo tempo, que começou..."

Pensa que estamos parados?
Aqui um esboço dos próximos passos do VEL MAX. Este é o rascunho do que estava na minha cabeça desde a minha infância, e que já está sendo produzido: Super Monaco GP 3!
OBS: (pensei nesse nome agora, eheheh, enquanto escrevo este post)

Dentro de algum tempo o jogo sairá da tela do meu computador para o seu monitor.
Antes disso, o blog vai se tornar um site. Enquanto isso não acontece, vamos dar umas mudadinhas no direcionamento do conteúdo do VEL MAX.
Já, já começaremos a postar também in english, ok? Além de tudo isso, você verá por aqui animações em flash entre outras surpresas.

Um abraço,
Fernando Ringel
