Autosport weekend

Two grand events will take place during this weekend. The World Rally Championship RACC Spain and Formula 1 Indian Grand Prix. If in rally series champion is determined already — Sebastien Ogier wins the title during last stage, in F1 despite the clear advantage of Sebastien Vettel, formally he still does not wins the forth crown.

Rally Spain starts today with three short special stages. The main part of distance crews will drive on saturday and sunday. Saturday special stages have tarmac surface, those on sunday are gravel. This was the reason of teams complains. Saturday winners will clear the gravel stages on sunday. So, to have a good start position on sunday you have to loose on saturday. What tactic teams will choose we'll know soon.

Indian Grand Prix also starts today from free practice. Tomorrow, as usual, there will be qualification. Sebastien Vettel wins both previous races in India, during practice already shows, that fourth title in career hi's going to get here. Today there was some incidents. Wheel fixing nut goes out of Pastor Maldonado Williams car. Driver stops on track without damage. But the same situation was in Japan, and that time team promised to FIA that this will never happen again. So now it's going to be serious. Drivers like Indian track, but there is no Indian Grand Prix in 2014, but organizers have a discussion with FIA to come back in 2015.
