Race of Champions

[Igor18]

Haha intervju na kraju.... Schumi: pa, predhodnih godina on je spašavao mene, danas sam ja njega i što je najvažnije Njemačka je dobila Englesku opet... haha LOL
Slavi gazda naslov, zagrijava se za sljedeću godinu

[Igor18]

[Schumy.d]

A šta uradi...
Jel njemu šta?

[Igor18]

Nije mu ništa, ali je odustao od današnjeg nastupa.

[Schumy.d]

Dogodila se i borba Schumacher vs Vettel.

Šteta da je Schumiju proklizao auto u zadnjem krugu, bio bi to foto-finiš.

[Igor18]

Lijepo je bilo za vidjeti zagrljene vettela i schumija nakon utrke u garaži...
Kaže da je bio preoprezan
A prije same utrke nasmijao sam se lijepo.. vettel otišo promijenit auto, pa odvozio još jedan krug da ga "isproba", nakon toga kad se vettel vratio schumi otišo odvozit jedan krug "jer su mu se gume ohladile dok ga je čekao" hahaha....
Sve u svemu lijepa predstava, jedva čekam 2, mjesec

Malo je ovaj ROC cudan po pitanju izbora vozaca, pozovu neke vozace koji nikad nisu bili u prilici da budu prvaci necega, dok s druge strane neke istinske asove ni ne pomisljaju da pozovu (recimo Rossi je vozio i rally, i F1 a nije pozvan, a s druge strane Heikki je as medju asovima ).

a gle ni Vettel do sada nije bio prvak u F1, pa po tvom nebi mogao ranije da se trka na ROC-u, vjerovatno oni pozovu vozače koji su prvaci bilo gdje.

Ouch! Schumijeva faca za 10

Ajmo trazit' dlaku u jajetu....
Vettel vec 3 godine vozi F1, i svijet je cuo za njega, za razliku od ovih anonimusa koji su tu.

Debutant Filipe Albuquerque celebrated a shock win in The Race of Champions after a stunning victory over Sébastien Loeb in Düsseldorf today.

The Portuguese driver, who competed in Italian GT racing for Audi this season, put a stellar line-up of motorsport stars in the shade in head-to-head battles around a unique parallel track at the ESPRIT arena.

Albuquerque qualified for this weekend's event by winning the ROC South Europe competition in August. He duly took his chance, beating Loeb 2-1 in the Grand Final, denying the rally legend a fourth Champion of Champions title.

After a breathless afternoon of action, this is what some of the drivers had to say:

Filipe Albuquerque: “Today was my day. Everything went so well and I made no mistakes. Since the beginning I was up against such good drivers - I had to beat Sebastian Vettel twice and in the final, wow, Sébastien was really on it. I just drove my race and when I won the first one I was really happy. In the second race I made a small mistake and straightaway he was there and won - a little mistake can cause you to lose everything in this competition. But in the deciding race I was nice and smooth with no mistakes. I can't believe it - it's the first time I am here and I have won - I could not ask for more. To win against great names, including Vettel in Germany when he has just won the world championship, is just fantastic.”

Sébastien Loeb: “It was a really good fight but Filipe was very strong. I drove some good races and got to the final after some interesting fights; I gave everything. This morning I wasn't so confident after what happened yesterday in the ROC Nations Cup when I was beaten by Andy Priaulx but today went much better. I won all my races except for the one that mattered most, the final. But I am sure Filipe will be back again next year to defend his title and I'd like to be back so I hope we can fight again!”

Sebastian Vettel: “It would have been interesting to have the current Formula 1 and World Rally champions together in the final but it wasn't meant to be. That's how it goes, Filipe drove a good race. With races coming so fast and just one race for the quarter and semi-finals, sometimes it works for you and sometimes it doesn't. In the quarter-final against Michael it worked but in the semi I pushed too hard into the first corner and lost too much time. The race against Michael was fun and it was very tight after one lap. What happened last year in the semi-final went through my head and I was thinking ‘not again'. That time I shunted the car but this year I managed to get it to the line first so it was nice to pay him back.”

Michael Schumacher: “The problem against Sebastian was that after the first lap I was ahead and I was probably too cautious. I was too careful and he got to the line first. But it's been really nice to be here with all these talented guys. On the one hand it is a competitive event but also it is a bit more relaxed and we have the chance to catch up with people we otherwise don't get to see, so I have enjoyed the weekend. I'm also happy Heikki and his girlfriend came out of his accident okay.”

Heikki Kovalainen: “I am fine luckily, no injuries, and also my girlfriend who was my passenger is fine. It was a major shunt and it started from the touch of the wall just before the finish line. I tried to use every inch of the circuit and I just kissed the wall. Then I was a passenger as I hit the wall at the first corner. It was a decent shunt.”

Alain Prost: “It was a slippery track surface on my second race after some fluid was dropped on the track and that made a big difference, particularly on the last corner and infield. But it was okay, just less grip, no big problem. I have enjoyed The Race of Champions more and more over the weekend and it's a shame I didn't go further - I would like to have another go! I am getting used to the cars; it is not easy but I really started to enjoy it.”

Andy Priaulx: “Sébastien Loeb is a tough guy to race against. You can never be too confident in this event because it's instant knockout so one small mistake and you're out. But I tried to just have fun and push hard. I've had a great time anyway. To race against Michael Schumacher yesterday was a great honour and then today to go against Mick Doohan, who is a great hero of mine, made it a great weekend anyway.”

Carl Edwards: “I did the best I could. Thanks to all the fans for coming out here; it has been a fun event and I have enjoyed it. I just needed to win something! The issue is I race on lots bigger tracks than this but I should still be able to pick it up. I got a good run in my second race but had a bit of trouble on the last lap and lost against Filipe Albuquerque. This event is a challenge because these drivers are very good and everyone is a champion. They are very competitive - everyone is smiling but they are still very competitive.”

Travis Pastrana: “In my first race the car stalled, I have no idea why, so I had no chance. I just choked on the last bend of my race against Tom Kristensen, my second race. I took it a bit too easy on the last lap and then pushed too hard on the last turn. Tom's a great driver and I got knocked out but that's the way it goes.”

Jason Plato: “I didn't drive very well today if I'm honest. The party we had last night in the hotel was probably too good! It was great to race against Alain Prost, who was a hero to me when I was a kid, but he beat me and beat me well actually. Yes we all want to be competitive but it is a great event and it is a pleasure just to be here to compete against these fantastic names. It was an honour to be invited here and I'd love to be back again next year.”

Tom Kristensen: “Today was not too bad after yesterday didn't go so well for Team Nordic in the ROC Nations Cup. The atmosphere in the stadium was fantastic and it's never easy to race against Sébastien Loeb. We do our best when we are in the cars but we also have a lot of fun and I am pleased my Team Nordic team-mate Heikki is fine.”

EDIT: Ferrari-BIH pa Vettel je debitiro u ROC 2007. a sumnjam da su tada svi znali ko je Sebastia Vettel.
Svi koj se natječu u ROC mislim da se s pravom natječu. A to ako je netko za nekoga anonimus nemora značiti da je to i za sve ostale.

[Ferrari-BiH]

A ti si kao cuo za ovoga pobjednika prije? Svi koji prate autosport znaju 99% vozaca F1 u toj sezoni, a da ne govorim o tome kako nisu culi za nekog klinca koji je u svojoj prvoj utrci u sezoni osvojio bod....

[Igor18]

Iskreno, da čuo sam, jer sam gledao nekoliko utrka talijanskog GT prvenstva. A zapamtio sam ga zato jer je na jednoj koju sam gledao pobijedio.
Koji je završio u prvenstvu ne znam no nije ni bitno.

[K1M1]

I ja sam i prije čuo za njega iz gp2 i formule renault.

Koji je završio u prvenstvu ne znam no nije ni bitno.

završio je 2. ukupno

neznam na kojem temelju oni zovu vozače za ROC, jer pola njih ove godine su prosječni vozači koji il nisu ništa osvojili il su davno, prije par godina osvojili kakav naslov u nekoj seriji. po meni bi za ROC trebali zvat sve ovogodišnje prvake svih najjačih motorsport serija (dakle f1, gp2, indy, nascar, wtcc, dtm, wrc + još par istinskih legendi poput npr. prosta, mansella, schumachera...), onda bi to bila prava utrka prvaka..

Upravo to, cemu onda naziv ROC...

Ma ne znam, samo mozemo nagadjati kakva je procedura, siguran sam da manageri ovih mladih vozaca imaju svoje prste upletene u to. Heikki, Vettel, pa ovaj sada....svi su poslije ROC-a dobili sansu u F1, ocekivati je i ovog pobjednika

[Igor18]

Sigurno da manageri imaju svoje prste u tome.
A i pojedinim vozačima momčadi brane da sudjeluju u takvim priredbama (kao npr.McLaren) ili neki nakon naporne sezone jednostavno žele što prije na odmor i odbiju sudjelovat pa se onda mora posegnuti za nekim mladim i talentiranim vozačima kojima to bude kao nagrada za rad tijekom sezone i dobre rezultate koje postižu.

[Vuksa_KC]

Meni je baš dobra postava vozača bila, svake godine, očtio je bitniji Nations naslov, nego pojedinačni. Nemaju sve zemlje koje se natječu svake godine u nečemu prvake. A čim je neko izvan F1 već je suspect:).

[Dani]

Trebalo bi staviti malo šljunak ili zemlju za podlogu pa da vidimo.

Jel nije dobro pružit priliku i mlađim vozačima, pa da vidimo kakvi su? a ako ćemo gledati vozače koji su postigli uspjehe možda je najbolje pozvati sve prvake iz najjačih trka, pa da to gledamo

Pa dobro je pruziti priliku mladim vozacima, ali onda se ovaj event ne bi trebao zvari ROC, nego ROYC, gdje Y predstavlja "young"

Valjda se zna na sta se misli kada se kaze Utrka prvaka....a mladi vozaci koji nisu do tada dobili priliku sigurno nisu "ti" prvaci

Onda po meni zadnjih par sezona nije trebao da se trka ni Schumacher jer nije bio prvak, ako ćemo imat samo prvake neka se uzmu samo prvaci iz F1, WRC-a, NASSCAR-a...

jbg Kenny s tobom covjek ne moze nikako

Schumacher je bio prvak, i to 7 puta, i to prvak F1. Doohan je bio prvak, Loeb je bio i jeste prvak, Prost je bio prvak....to su prvaci, visestruki, ljudi koji su obiljezili jedno razdoblje auto-motosporta, a ti mladi klinci poput Vettela (ne brojim ovu godinu), Alber....nesto, Kovalainena i sl. nemaju mjesta medju tim imenima.

Pusti sada svoju subjektivnost i malo upotrijebi logiku, onu prostu bar. Igrajmo se "izbaci uljeza" :
Schumacher
Prost
ALBUQUERQUE
Doohan

Ja mislim da vi previše komplicirate, ROC nije ništa drugo nego show za publiku.

A Pastrana je prvak čega?

[Ferrari-BiH]

DA....apsolutno je tako, komercijala i biznis.

Pastrana....pa budalestine visestruki prvak u rallyu u SAD-u, visestruki prvak u motocossu i u Xgames je odnio hrpu nagrada

[47]

x games ne brojim, a za rally nisam znao, zato i pitam.

Nemam ništa protiv, samo neka vozi samo velim da se uzbuđujete nepotrebno. šteta živaca

Razumijem ja sve što hoćeš reć, ali kad bi pozivali samo najbolje F1 i WRC vozače moglo bi se samo s njima popunit grid i opet ime nema smisla. Zbog toga treba uvest pravila kojih se treba držati i to je to.
