Team Battles - Season report

Everybody knows that the most important opponent to beat is your teammate. Teammate has the same car and he is a good reference.

OMR
Acarini proved, who is number one in italian team. After Botta's win in Italy temple of racing - Monza, people said that he could beat his teammate. But he made mistakes in following races and chance for no1 dissapeared. Anyway, he will be back next season for sure!
QUALIFYING:
Alex Botta 3:16 Andre Acarini
RACE:
Alex Botta 6:13 Andre Acarini

Red Bull
There is nothing special to say. Philippe is one of the best driver in F1 business and Pocuette is one of the worst. There wouldn't be any suprise.
QUALIFYING:
Antoine Ayrton Poucette 0:19 Philippe de Saint-Germain Jr
RACE:
Antoine Ayrton Poucette 2:17 Philippe de Saint-Germain Jr

Scuderia Ferrari
Ferrari's new car wasn't as good as it was previous season. In such condition Dermisek struggled to score more points. Macanga proved last season that he is fast. This season he made less mistakes and did pretty good job with not so good car.
QUALIFYING:
Milan Dermisek 1:18 Vifgas Macanga
RACE:
Milan Dermisek 4:15 Vifgas Macanga

Jordan
Jordan prepared one of the best car. Since Austrian GP they've have almost as fast car as OMR. Libor drove very well and almost faultlessly. Although Kaderabek had speed in qualifying sessions, in race he couldn't keep his teammate pace. For sure, Libor is one of candidate to beat Acarini next year.
QUALIFYING:
Charvec Libor 18:1 Lukin Kaderabek
RACE:
Charvec Libor 17:2 Lukin Kaderabek

Mercedes
They were better and better in every race. Grandi showed his talent in difficult condition winning all rainy races. On the other hand Bum made few mistakes, but in 2nd part of season matched Grandi pace and both mercedes drivers were the best in the end of season. Acarani will have 2 strong rivals next year.
QUALIFYING:
Stanislaw Bum 0:19 Paolo Grandi
RACE:
Stanislaw Bum 3:16 Paolo Grandi

WAR
WAR lost a bit comparing to last season. Drivers did good job, but car didn't allowed them to fight for podium.
QUALIFYING:
Ödön Ifj. Tök 5:14 Guido Di Rado
RACE:
Ödön Ifj. Tök 13:6 Guido Di Rado

McLaren
Again: well made car, but too many mistakes. McLaren could fight with RBR, maybe even Jordan. But they didn't, especially Freiverts, who did not finish many races.
QUALIFYING:
Ivaan Szabo 9:10 Marcis Jr. Freiverts
RACE:
Ivaan Szabo 12:7 Marcis Jr. Freiverts

Marussia
MArussia had bad car. 14 points show how well Terkin drive in rainy wheather. But they need to do sth to be more competetive in sunny wheather as well.
QUALIFYING:
Vasily Terkin 15:3 Nikolay Heydfeldov
RACE:
Vasily Terkin 12:7 Nikolay Heydfeldov

DEM
Previous season Janeks did pretty good job with not so bad car and not so competeive rival. This season people were suprised that Kauss can beat Janeks after his poor season in Harmhedz. Anyway car wasn't good enough. There are worse drivers in better cars.
QUALIFYING:
Edgars Janeks 17:2 Laimnesis Kauss
RACE:
Edgars Janeks 11:8 Laimnesis Kauss

HamrHedZ
The slowest car in business. Previous season top drivers helped team to receive better results. This season car and drivers couldn't do anything. Unfortunately..
QUALIFYING:
Vitaliy Romadov 17:2 Facundo Fernandez
RACE:
Vitaliy Romadov 16:3 Facundo Fernandez

Team Europe
They made progress after having the worst car previous season. If they can keep progress we will see european cars in TOP5.
QUALIFYING:
Aurelijus Zemeckas 9:10 Matas Jukna
RACE:
Aurelijus Zemeckas 13:6 Matas Jukna

Sempre Senna
Sempre Senna showed that if you want you can prepare much better car. They were competetive all season. Maybe having more luck they could score more points.
QUALIFYING:
Robert Kubica 18:1 Marcin Lupa
RACE:
Robert Kubica 10:9 Marcin Lupa

LKR
Too far.. They had engine on their own in first season and had quite nice chassis. Anyway this season was worse for them and they don't seem to be better next year..
QUALIFYING:
Reinhard Artmann 12:7 Eduardo Diesel
RACE:
Reinhard Artmann 14:5 Eduardo Diesel

Trabant
If I wanted to tell you a joke I would tell you: "We have real Trabant in F1". But it's not funny. They scored 2 points. They had car faster than Harmhedz. Only Harmhedz..
QUALIFYING:
Volker Adler 11:8 Angela Merkel
RACE:
Volker Adler 13:6 Angela Merkel

Williams
They shocked people having 5th fastest car in opening race. But they didn't improve chassis and other teams overtook them. Although Laine was faster than Hakkinen, he doesn't scored points. If team can have again really fast car on start of 3rd season, then They can suprise other again with their new driver - Kauria.
QUALIFYING:
Tommi Hakkinen 2:17 Teemu Laine
RACE:
Tommi Hakkinen 5:14 Teemu Laine
