[race-week]

Stoffel Vandoorne

So much was promised about Stoffel and rightly so, he had a fantastic junior career so what happened?

Karting

Initially, lack of funding restricted Vandoorne to race 3 to 4 races per year. By age 16 he was Belgian KF2 Champion. In 2009 he finished as runner-up in the CIK-FIA World Cup in the KF2 category.

Formula Renault

In 2010, Stoffel moved up to single-seater racing, joining the F4 Eurocup 1.6 series. He went on to win the series on his first attempt, finishing the season with six wins and three further podium finishes. 

The prize from winning the series helped him to move up to the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 the following year. He also earned a place as one of 12 drivers in the FIA Institute Young Driver Excellence Academy alongside Alexander Rossi and Robin Frijns.

In 2011, he graduated to competing in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, he finished fifth overall, with one podium at the Hungaroring and another eight points finishes throughout the season.

He also participated in Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup, where he finished third in the series' standings with eight podiums.

For the 2012 season Vandoorne remained in the Eurocup, he won the championship by ten points between himself and Daniil Kvyat. Between them they won 11 of the 14 races and finished over 100 points ahead of their nearest challenger. Vandoorne finished the season with four wins and six podiums. 

He also contested selected events in the Northern European Cup, where he won five of the seven races that he started, and finished on the podium in a sixth race.

In 2013, Vandoorne raced in Formula Renault 3.5, he finished runner-up to Kevin Magnussen with four wins and 10 podiums, including a victory at his home track of Spa-Francorchamps.

Mclaren

In February 2013, Vandoorne joined McLaren's Young Driver Programme and in January 2014, he was announced as a third driver for McLaren F1

GP2

In January 2014, it was confirmed that Vandoorne would make his GP2 debut, with ART. In the opening race at Bahrain, Vandoorne claimed his first victory of the season in the feature race. He followed this up with four consecutive pole positions, three more wins at the Hungaroring, Monza and Yas Marina and six additional podiums. Despite being a rookie, he finished runner-up to Jolyon Palmer.

In 2015 Vandoorne  was considered the main title contender. After five feature race wins, twelve podiums and four pole positions, Vandoorne took the title in Sochi, 108 points over his nearest rival Alexander Rossi.

Superformula

On 12 February 2016, it was announced that Vandoorne would race a Honda in Super Formula for Dandelion Racing. He finished fourth overall, the highest ranking among Honda engine users, with two wins and one pole position at Fuji Speedway in wet conditions throughout the season.

Mclaren Reserve Driver

On 31 March 2016, it was announced Vandoorne would be replacing regular driver Fernando Alonso at the Bahrain Grand Prix after the Spaniard was ruled unfit to drive following a major accident in the previous round. After qualifying 12th ahead of Jenson Button, Vandoorne finished 10th and became the first reserve driver to score points on debut since Sebastian Vettel at the 2007 United States Grand Prix.

McLaren Driver

In his debut full season at McLaren, Vandoorne established himself as a considerable rookie next to Fernando Alonso. With the uncompetitive McLaren, Vandoorne racked up 13 points compared to Alonso's 17. The key issues lay in the reliability and performance of the car which resulted in 1 DNS and 5 DNFs throughout the 20 race season. Nevertheless, he managed to crack into the top 10 in Hungary, Malaysia and Singapore.

In the new McLaren Renault partnership, Vandoorne enjoyed a good start to the season with 3 points finishes in the first 4 races. However, as the season progressed, he struggled to maintain this momentum which left him with 8 points by the Japanese Grand Prix. Additionally the McLaren package was uncompetitive resulting in a long drought in points finishes between the 2018 Azerbaijan Grand Prix and the 2018 Mexican Grand Prix. 

Vandoorne ended the 2018 season in 16th in the drivers' championship. However, the last few Grands Prix saw Vandoorne in some impressive battles, particularly in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with Esteban Ocon and Romain Grosjean.

It was announced in September that Vandoorne would leave McLaren at the end of the 2018 season.

My thoughts

Looking back on Stoffel’s junior career and even in his time at McLaren it shows the sort of driver that he was, he was an incredibly consistent driver and was incredibly talented when it came to qualifying, however I feel that what caused the end of his F1 career was the uncompetitive McLaren and because of the way that he was beaten by Alonso in his second year. Do I think Stoffel could have been World Champion, probably not but was he a talented midfield driver who could have had a significant F1 career, definitely. He was beaten by Alonso because Alonso is a 2x World Championship who has tonnes of experience in getting performance out of a poor car, you cannot expect a driver in his second year to match that. However saying that I’m glad that he is thriving in Formula E and maybe he’ll become the next Formula E champion and the first World Champion in Formula E

[umflowers]

lol started writing the sewis-only flashback fic of my series and my brain’s like “yay new thing write third chapter!” and i’m literally so tired my eyesight’s fuzzy like yeah brain i literally have the wikipedia articles open for the 2005 formula 3 euro series, the 2006 gp2 season, the 2007 f1 season and formula 3 euro and formula renault 3.5 seasons, lewis’ entire career, seb’s entire career, schumi’s career, nando’s career, several specific races, google image searches for each of them for three years, and have various videos and interviews bookmarked to view for research and i have to absorb all that info and retain it as i try to slip into the minds of my characters and write as them and not myself so let’s go through all that right now at almost 2 am. just one question first: can you spell the word “cat.” no? didn’t think so. shut up we’re going to bed.

Retro Thursday - Marcus Winkelhock’s helmet Welcome to #RetroThursday. One day a week dedicated to F1 from past years. Helmets, suits, liveries or tracks with a little more of creativity. Let's go with the very particular story of a German driver, he did in just one lap and in his debut, what many drivers in years competing on the category: leading the race. His name is Marcus Winkelhock. Winkelhock ran in the German Formula 3, where he finished fifth in 2001, and was fourth in the Formula 3 Euroseries 2003. In 2004 he participated in the DTM Masters with a Mercedes-Benz CLK Class of team Persson, where he did not score points. He returned to the cars in 2005, finishing third in the Formula Renault 3.5. Marcus was confirmed as a test driver for Midland team the following year, and in 2007 he also served in that same position for Spyker, he replaced Christijan Albers for that methodical European GP starting the race with heavy rain tyres and getting leading by 6 laps under SC while everyone going to the pits to change tires, ¡an incredible feat! It was soon overtaken by all drivers and it didn′t end the race due to a hydraulic problem. That is why it holds the record for the highest percentage of laps led of the total contested (6 of 14, 43%), apart from showing a unique record of leading in all the Formula 1 races in which it has competed (1 of 1) (You see why I tell you it was a great feat? :P) After this, Winkelhock returned to the DTM where he competed until 2011, to continue in other categories of GT cars, including the 24 hours of Nurburgring where he was the winner in 2012 and 2014 Please comment, what do you want to see in the next #RetroThursday? :)

Melihat Kisah Venezuela dan Maldonado, Indonesia Harusnya Malu kepada Rio Haryanto

Orang Indonesia memang suka membingungkan. Katanya pengen ada warganya yang punya prestasi di dunia internesyenel, namun ketika ada yang mumpuni, eh malah diributkan se-Tanah Air karena membutuhkan modal gede. Ya, kita sedang membicarakan soal Kak Rio Haryanto, pembalap Indonesia yang berhasil menembus jagat Formula 1 itu.

Semua dimulai dari keperluan pendanaan balapan Kak Rio yang konon mencapai 100 milyar rupiah. Kontroversi dan perdebatan di Indonesia pun menyeruak ketika Pak Menpora mengatakan akan bersedia menalanginya lewat dana APBN. Sebagian besar masyarakat menilai dana tersebut kelewat besar untuk olahraga individu, padahal masih banyak yang dapat dilakukan dengan uang 100 milyar itu.

Saya kira, Kak Rio tak usah memikirkan para pencaci tersebut dan lebih berkonsentrasi saja di sirkuit F1. Sebab para penentang itu tidak paham bahwa F1 sesungguhnya adalah olahraga yang paling bergengsi di muka bumi! Di antara mereka bahkan ada yang bilang kalau F1 tidak lebih dari hobi. Ealah, sungguh sebuah ucapan yang sangat menyepelekan dunia otomotif.

F1 adalah kasta tertinggi dalam dunia otomotif. Oleh karena itu, dapat berkecimpung dalam F1 tentunya adalah pencapaian paripurna bagi seorang pembalap.

Para pengkritik itu mungkin berpikir bahwa nyetir mobil F1 sama dengan main karambol yang asal punya kekuatan jari dan ketahanan begadang. Mereka seolah tidak memperhitungan betapa seorang pembalap F1 membutuhkan kombinasi antara ketahanan fisik, konsentrasi pikiran, kecepatan berpikir dan kecerdasan otak. Selain itu, demi menjaga kualitas, F1 pun membatasi hanya 11 tim yang boleh berpartisipasi dalam ajang ini. Dan satu tim hanya boleh diisi oleh 2 orang pembalap.

Maka bayangkan: di seluruh dunia hanya ada 22 orang pembalap F1! Jika jumlah total penduduk dunia sebanyak 7,4 milyar manusia, persentase pembalap F1 jadinya adalah 0.000000297%! Perhitungan matematis macam inilah yang tidak dipahami oleh para pengkritik itu. Mereka tidak mempedulikan fakta betapa superiornya menjadi pembalap F1.

Bahwa pembalap harus membawa dukungan sponsor personal juga bukanlah hal baru dalam dunia F1. Sang legenda F1 Michael Schumacer pun dulu mulainya dari tim semenjana (Jordan) dan dia juga wajib membawa sponsor pribadi untuk tim pertamanya.

Lalu jika pemerintah menalangi dana pembalap F1 pun juga bukan hal yang wah. Simak saja apa yang terjadi dengan Pastor Maldonado dari Venezuela yang juga merasakannya. Dalam sekian hal, saya kira antara Maldonado dan Kak Rio memiliki beberapa kesamaan.

Keduanya sama-sama berasal dari negara yang kaya sumber daya alam, sama-sama dari negara selatan yang terancam hegemoni negara-negara neoliberal Barat, dan terakhir, tentu sama-sama memiliki tujuan mengharumkan nama bangsa di kancah dunia.

Seperti Kak Rio, Maldonando juga merasakan bagaimana beratnya perjuangan menjadi pembalap F1. Sebelum masuk arena F1, Maldonado harus memulai karirnya dari Formula Renault pada tahun 2003 dan berlanjut sampai Formula Renault 3.5. Sayangnya, prestasi Maldonado kurang apik untuk naik kelas ke Formula 2 atau GP2 yang merupakan kompetisi balap selapis di bawah F1. Sampai di tahun 2007, dia memulai langkah besarnya di tim Trident.

Usaha Maldonado untuk menjadi pembalap F1 hampir terwujud di tahun 2009 dengan menjadi pembalap di tim Campos Meta. Hanya saja, kondisi tim Campos Meta sedang berantakan dan karena alasan finansial inilah yang membuat Maldonado tersingkir oleh Karun Chandhok yang notabene hanya urutan ke-18 di GP2. Namun, batal menjadi pembalap F1 tidak membuat Maldonado patah semangat, di tahun 2010 dia berhasil menjadi jawara GP2.

Prestasi Maldonado, selain jelas menjadi kebanggaan keluarga, juga untuk nusa bangsa Venezuela dan mendiang Presiden Hugo Chavez tentunya. Maldonado ingin menunjukkan kepada dunia bahwa seorang dari negara kecil yang ditindas oleh negara neolib macam Amerika Serikat dan sekutunya, ia ternyata mampu bersaing di bidang olahraga yang paling bergengsi di muka bumi.

Melalui Maldonado pula, Chavez juga ingin menyampaikan pesan kepada dunia bahwa Venezuela adalah negara yang penuh potensi. Selain kaya sumber daya alam, khususnya minyak bumi, memiliki wanita-wanita rupawan yang berprestasi (7 kali wakil Venezuela menjadi juara Miss Universe), dan kini juga memiliki pemuda yang mampu bersaing dengan insan-insan terbaik di dunia.

Sementara itu, persoalan dana yang menjadi kendala Maldonado pada tahun 2010 juga telah mendapatkan solusi ketika Chavez memerintahkan PDVSA (Pertamina-nya Venezuela) untuk mendukung Maldonado. Hampir mirip bukan dengan situasi yang dialami Kak Rio?

Trauma berurusan dengan tim kecil, Maldonando pun memilih berlabuh ke Williams. Menurut BBC, sekitar 30-45 juta dolar (sekitar 400-580 milyar rupiah) dikucurkan Venezuela ke Williams demi terwujudnya cita-cita memiliki pembalap F1 di era 2000-an. Dibandingkan dengan angka 100 milyar rupiah yang dibutuhkan Kak Rio, pendanaan Maldonado jelas jauh lebih besar.

Apakah Indonesia tidak malu melihat fakta tersebut?

Kepercayaan dari Chavez dijawab dengan baik oleh Maldonado. Di musim pertamanya, dia meraih 1 poin (menurut fans berat Kak Rio, 1 poin sudah sangat berprestasi). Di musim ke-2, dia meraih 45 poin dan meraih peringkat ke-15. Lalu di musim ke-5, Maldonado yang telah bergabung dengan tim Lotus, meraih prestasi terbaiknya: mencapai urutan ke-14, kendati dengan perolehan 27 poin lebih sedikit dari prestasi di musim ke-2.

Sayang seribu sayang, langkah Maldonado harus terhenti di musim ke-6 karena PDVSA–yang selama lima tahun menjadi sponsor tunggal dan selalu memberikan dana dengan besaran yang hampir sama–tak lagi dapat membantu. Hal ini disebabkan oleh jatuhnya harga minyak dunia yang membuat ekonomi Venezuela memburuk. Pemerintah memutuskan untuk melakukan rasionalisasi dan tentu program pendanaan Maldonado pun harus terhenti.

Prestasi Maldonado di kancah F1 juga tidak mampu menolong ekonomi Venezuela, sebab inflasi mencapai 180% dan barang-barang pokok menjadi langka. Pariwisata yang juga menjadi salah satu strategi utama pembangunan ekonomi Venezuela ternyata juga tidak sesuai ekspektasi. Kunjungan wisatawan asing ke Venezuela tidak bisa menembus 1 juta orang per-tahun.

Tapi, tenang saja Kak Rio, kondisi ekonomi Indonesia saat ini jauh lebih baik dari Venezuela. Kalaupun ada target-target ekonomi atau promosi yang meleset, tentu bukan salah dirimu. Itu semua salah pengambil kebijakan. Maju terus saja Kak Rio, harumkan nama bangsa di atas indikator apalah-apalah itu.

Sebastian Vettel is a German Formula One racing driver, existingly driving for the Austrian racing team Red Bull Racing. He is the current World Champion, having won the championship in 2010, 2011, and 2012. In his 1st year driving for Red Bull in 2009, Vettel finished the season as the youngest-ever World Drivers’ championship runner-up.

The following year he went on to become the youngest driver ever to win the World Drivers’ Championship. In the same year he served Red Bull win the team’s first World Constructors’ Championship. He followed up his first championship with a second in 2011, becoming the youngest double way too as youngest consecutive champion. Vettel won the 2012 F1 World Championship, becoming the youngest triple champion in the history of the sport. Vettel became BMW Sauber third driver at the 2006 Turkish Grand Prix, when former incumbent Robert Kubica was called up to replace Jacques Villeneuve for the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix. On his testing debut, Vettel set the fastest time in the second Friday Free Practice before the race. In his second testing session in the 2006 Italian Grand Prix, he set the fastest time in both Friday practice sessions, a race weekend in which all the BMW cars were limited, with his predecessor Robert Kubica finishing on the podium in the race. On 31 July 2007, BMW released Vettel to join Red Bull’s Scuderia Toro Rosso team, replacing Scott Speed as one of its drivers from the Hungarian Grand Prix onwards. He earned approximately US$165,000 for finishing the season with Toro Rosso. Before the race, it was also announced that Vettel would drive for Toro Rosso in 2008, aprolongedside Sebastien Bourdais. Vettel was pulled mid-season from the Formula Renault 3.5 series, which he was leading at that time. At the start of the 2009 season, Vettel replaced the retired David Coulthard at Red Bull Racing, and began strongly at the Australian Grand Prix, qualifying third and running in second for the majority of the race. However, a clash with Robert Kubica earlier mentioned second place on the third to last lap of the race forced both to retire.

Vettel attempted to finish the race on three wheels behind the safety car to salvage some points, but eventually pulled off to the side. He thought that he would be able to attempt this considering that the yellow flag resulting from his incident forbids overtaking; alternatively he was given a ten-place grid penalty for the next race, the Malaysian Grand Prix, and his team was fined for instructing him to stay on track after the damage occurred. In Malaysia he qualified in third position, but was demoted down to 13th due to his ten-place grid drop. He spun out of the race while eighth, just before the race was stopped due to adverse weather conditions. On 21 August 2009 it was announced that Red Bull and Vettel had extended his contract until the end of the 2011 season with an option for 2012. The option was taken up on 14 March 2011, as Vettel extended his contract with the team until the end of 2014.

Vettel has mentioned he would like to at some point in his career drive for Ferrari, and is rumoured to incorporate a non-binding pre-contract, with options, with them for 2014, while Red Bull believes he will stay with them for as long as they supply a competitive car. Prior to the 2011 Japanese Grand Prix, Red Bull’s advisor Helmut Marko expressed his wish to extend Vettel’s contract for another two years, to 2016.
