Last year when I saw the first race of Austin I took a good feeling and I found a very entertaining race, something that did not happen this time. Last year the circuit debut and prevented new asphalt tire temperature cogiesen, which gave enough emotion. This year, the asphalt was already settled and could make a stop, and those races to a pit-stop usually boring. That's what happened with Bridgestone, which it made it very predictable and durable shoes. Pirelli has threatened that if the FIA does not allow training, them for the next season will show durable tires without. Watching the bats have received this season, no wonder, and it seems logical request. further, Pirelli now not develop gums with Formula 1 of this year, but it has an outdated model 2010, which further complicates design. As I read somewhere, the best combination is the one that was at the beginning of this season: very fast tires, but they degraded quickly. By the way, Women in sport have been used primarily as vases, not only here but they have not received equal treatment. Science and history also keep the place deserved for females, and there are many inventions and scientific developments carried out by women who have been forgotten. The first historical tribute of this column goes to Stephanie Kwolek, Polish-American scientist still alive who developed the famous kevlar, which it is used today in the Pirelli and flak jackets, among other applications. We continue with Pirelli, It is that this weekend has to speak the nth detail advantage over rivals Red Bull. Specifically, It has commented that the Austrian team employs polysil, a polymer applied on the tire rim improves heat transfer. It is one of computer keys: rapid heating in the first laps. It is polysil which it is a thin film silicon based also favors the turbulence generated in this area of the car. Anyway, he polysil It is the trade name of a company called Nanoprom, and is Italian, so it would not surprise me Ferrari and other teams also employ this product, and possibly it is being used before this year. And you can not forget that a great advantage is efficiency in pit-stops; this weekend again set a record by making the change wheels 1,9 seconds. Although primarily it is talking about a possible delay in the engine cylinders, but that I'll talk another day, Nor should we believe absolutely everything that appears online. This week has also given to local news, although not exactly positive. Joan Villadelprat has been convicted for the crime of concealment of assets, specifically for selling equipment Epsilon Euskadi to Epic Racing at a price much lower than during the previous two years before the bankruptcy filing. 900.000 euro fine and three years' disqualification. It is another pending trial for 22 November where he will study whether Catalan and his partner incurred criminal offenses. But I do not want so close local news, and here is the second column tribute. Pepe Díez died this month. Probably few people remember him, but it pioneered retransmissions of Formula 1 in TVE over the years 80, and an expert in technical knowledge and ability to transmit fans. Poor penetration of Formula 1 during that time and the difficulty to rescue audios you have been relegated to oblivion. Rest in peace.
