Gran Premio de Gran Bretaña de la Fórmula 1 y la serie de la copa NASCAR se dirige para Atlanta [ESP-ENG]

El Circuito de Silverstone lleva el nombre de la localidad donde se encuentra situado, Silverstone (Northamptonshire), Inglaterra, Reino Unido. Su primera carrera fue el 1950, es decir que es un escenario con mucha historia dentro de la máxima categoría. El mismo es un trazado de 5,901 km, con 18 curvas, donde muchas son rápidas y otras lentas, con varios sitios importantes para realizar adelantamientos. Este escenario da muy buenas carreras y da gusto verlas, observar el manejo de los pilotos. Este es uno de mis circuitos favoritos. Algo que hay que mencionar es que los neumáticos que se van a usar para esta carrera serán más duros que para las anteriores competencias, lo mismo ocurrió el año pasado, así que veremos cómo se desarrolla la competencia a 52 vueltas (306.198 km).

Entre las estadísticas de este circuito, tenemos que ll piloto ganador del año pasado fue Carlos Sainz Jr., como ya se los había mencionado. La victoria de Carlos fue saliendo desde la pole, así que esto nos da a decir que Ferrari tenían un buen auto el año pasado y esperemos que esto se repita este año, para romper la hegemonía de RedBull. El tiempo record del circuito es para Max Verstappen, con un giro de 1:27.097. El piloto con más victoria, es el local Lewis Hamilton con 8, además que el británico posee 7 poles y más podios con un total de 12. El equipo más exitoso en Silverstone es Ferrari, con un total de 13 victorias. El Gran Premio de Gran Bretaña siempre es una carrera entretenida, llena de mucha historia y esperemos que este año no sea la excepción.

This Sunday the Formula 1 British Grand Prix and the Quaker State 400 will be held, the latter being another race of the NASCAR Cup Series. The maximum category races for the second consecutive weekend, being this the tenth race of the 2023 calendar, in one of the most important circuits, the Silverstone track. On the other hand, NASCAR will race in Atlanta, with less and less races left for the end of the regular championship and the beginning of the post-season, where we will know the champion. In these last races are looking for the last places for the playoffs, so this race will be of utmost importance for many of the drivers.


Now, starting with the highest category of motorsport, F1, it is important to tell all those that the RedBull team continues to dominate this season, leaving no room for their rivals. Will they get the victory again in this British Grand Prix 2023? Will they be able to stop Max Verstappen? Will Checo win a race again? Or will they finally dethrone the drivers of the energy drink? are some of the questions that can be raised around this competition. The truth is that it is going to be complicated and the only way I see a new winner is that the Red Bulls have a problem, especially the driver from the Netherlands, Verstappen, who is driving perfect, without any kind of mistake, besides that both his team with the strategy and the good performance of his car, has accompanied him.


In this race I expect to see Sergio "Checo" Perez show what he is made of, since in the last races he has made many mistakes in qualifying in the last races, after Monaco, but the truth is that we know that the Mexican has not forgotten to race. That is where the conspiracy theories that his car is being sabotaged by the RedBull team come from, since they have a big advantage in the constructors' championship, and they do not want their two drivers to ruin the race by crashing their cars. Without hesitation I can say that Max Verstappen is the driver 1 of the Austrian team, over a Checo who is a great racing driver, but is one step below Max, although we have seen how the Mexican has defeated him in several races, but we must also take into account some mechanical failures in the car of the two-time world champion (Max Verstappen) at the beginning of the season.


The Red Bulls start as favorites to win this race, especially Verstappen. However, other drivers who can put up a fight are the Ferrari drivers, who have shown a great improvement in the last races, overtaking the Aston Martin and Mercedes. More if we take into account that Ferrari won last year's race at Silverstone with Carlos Saínz Jr. and a driver who has looked pretty good in the practices that have been given so far, but I will talk about it in a future opportunity. Lewis Hamilton is the local driver, he is very good at the stage, but the most he can aspire to is to be on the podium, I do not see him winning, unless it is a very crazy race and with the presence of rain. A driver who has been seen a step back is Fernando Alonso, in the first two practices has not been seen as in the races, before Austria, it seems that his car is given much more for some circuits and not so much for others, their performance is affected or at least, they are slower than their rivals. We know the talent of Alonso, and this can change and because, achieve his long-awaited victory 33. What better than in a mythical circuit, such as Silverstone.


The Silverstone Circuit is named after the town where it is located, Silverstone (Northamptonshire), England, United Kingdom. Its first race was in 1950, that is to say, it is a stage with a long history within the maximum category. It is a track of 5.901 km, with 18 curves, where many are fast and others slow, with several important places for overtaking. This scenario gives very good races and it is a pleasure to watch them, to observe the handling of the drivers. This is one of my favorite circuits. Something to mention is that the tires to be used for this race will be harder than for the previous competitions, the same happened last year, so we will see how the 52-lap (306.198 km) competition develops.


Among the statistics of this circuit, we have that last year's winning driver was Carlos Sainz Jr, as already mentioned. Carlos' victory was starting from pole position, so this tells us that Ferrari had a good car last year and hopefully this will be repeated this year, to break the hegemony of RedBull. The circuit record time is for Max Verstappen, with a lap of 1:27.097. The driver with more victories is the local Lewis Hamilton with 8, besides the Briton has 7 poles and more podiums with a total of 12. The most successful team at Silverstone is Ferrari, with a total of 13 victories. The British Grand Prix is always an entertaining race, full of history and hopefully this year will be no exception.

La segunda carrera de gran importancia de este fin de semana es la fecha 19 de la serie de la copa NASCAR en Atlanta Motor Speedway, siendo esta la segunda visita de la campaña a este óvalo, ya que recordar que NASCAR visita algunas óvalos en dos oportunidades por año. El 19 de Marzo de 2023, se dio una carrera en Atlanta, la primera visita del año, con triunfo para el piloto Joey Logano del auto Ford 22 del equipo Penske. ¿Será que Logano repite nuevamente la victoria? pues es algo posible, aunque sabemos que por ganar en el año en el mismo sitio o en años pasado, no garantiza nada, ya que todas las carreras son distintas y cualquier cosa se puede dar.

El óvalo de Atlanta Motor Speedway en el año 2022 sufrió una reconfiguración, donde se le hicieron unos cambios a la pista, donde las curvas pasaron de 24 a 28 grados de peralte, además que las curvas se estrecharon, ya que de tener 55 pies, pasó a tan solo 44 pulgadas. También se realizó el reasfaltado del óvalo, ya que anteriormente este estaba muy degastado, sobre todo tenía muchas ondulaciones que hacia saltar a los coches, además de tener una alta degradación por lo cual los pilotos tenía que tener mucho cuidado con el desgaste de las llantas. El estilo de la carrera paso a ser como un superspeedway (Daytona y Talladega), que en lo personal no me gustaron los cambios, al igual que muchos de pilotos de la serie.

Atlanta Motor Speedway es un óvalo de 1.540 millas (2.478 kilómetros) de superficie de asfalto. La pista posee 4 curvas, que como les había mencionado anteriormente, las mismas tenían un peralte de 28°, cada una de ellas, mientras que la recta principal y posteriormente tiene una inclinación de tan solo 5 grados. El récord de vuelta de este trazado está en manos de Ross Chastain, con un tiempo de 29.376 segundos, logrados en la primera competencia de este año 2023, esto debido a las nuevas configuraciones. El piloto con la mayor cantidad de victoria es Dale Earnhardt (Padre) con 9, al igual que posee la mayor cantidad de tops 5 con 26. Por otro lado tenemos a Richard Petty con 33 tops 10, con 75 inicios. Estos son algunos datos que puedo compartir con ustedes del escenario correspondiente a la carrera de este fin de semana.

Una noticia importante que se dio recientemente fue el hecho de un cambio de procedimiento para la velocidad de los boxes. Anteriormente los pilotos debían mantener una velocidad de 45 mph en toda la trayectoria, además que a la entrada quedaba en la curva 4. Pero con la modificación, la entrada queda en la curva 3, esto por una mayor seguridad debido a las velocidades que se alcanzan. Ahora bien, en los dos primeros sectores (secciones) de los boxes los pilotos pueden ir a una velocidad de 90 mph, y luego en los demás tramos, la velocidad debe ser igual o menor a las 45 mph. Esto solo para condiciones de bandera verde, porque con amarilla la velocidad debe ser de 45 en todo el trayecto. Este es un cambio importante con la cual los pilotos se deben adaptar.

Chase Elliott fue el ganador de la segunda carrera del año pasado en Atlanta Motor Speedway, pero lo más destacado fue partiendo desde la pole. Entre los pilotos activos, Kevin Harvick es quien tiene la mayor cantidad de victorias con 3. Harvick es un piloto que se le da muy bien esta pista, pero la que teníamos hasta el año 2021, cuando al pista era complicada, con una superficie asfáltica de muchos años, con sus ondulaciones características, donde el californiano le gustaba la línea interna, muy pegado a la línea blanca. Pero con los recientes cambios y más que este piloto no está en sus mejores condiciones, está en su años de retiro, pues no está entre los favoritos, pero sabemos que en NASCAR cualquier cosa puede pasar y conocemos el talento de Kevin. Harvick también tiene los mejores números en cuento a tops 5 y tops 10, con 9 y 16 respectivamente, tiene la mayor cantidad de poles con 2 juntos ha Joey Logano, además de ser quien más vuelta a liderado con 1.360.

Los Penske de Joey Logano y Ryan Blaney son los que parten como mis favoritos, este estilo de carrera se le da muy bien. Otro que veo con mucha oportunidad es a William Byron del equipo Hendrick, al igual que sus compañeros de equipos Chase Elliott y Kyle Larson. Nunca debemos destacar a Kyle Busch. Al ser una carrera del estilo superspeedway, la suerte juego un papel importante y los cualquier tiene posibilidad de ganar, lo importante es evitar los problemas y los incidentes. Para esta carrera no hay práctica libre, al igual que pasa en Daytona y Talladega. La clasificación es directamente el mañana sábado 08 de Julio de 2023 a las 5:3pm ET de los Estados Unidos. La carrera es el domingo 09, donde 260 es el número de vueltas, divididas entes segmentos, el primero 60, el segundo y el tercero a 100 giros cada uno de los segmentos.

The second race of great importance of this weekend is the 19th date of the NASCAR Cup Series at Atlanta Motor Speedway, being this the second visit of the campaign to this oval, since remember that NASCAR visits some ovals twice a year. On March 19, 2023, there was a race in Atlanta, the first visit of the year, with a win for driver Joey Logano in the Ford 22 of Team Penske. Will Logano repeat the victory again? Well, it is possible, although we know that winning in the year in the same place or in past years does not guarantee anything, since all races are different and anything can happen.


The Atlanta Motor Speedway oval in 2022 underwent a reconfiguration, where some changes were made to the track, where the curves went from 24 to 28 degrees of camber, in addition to the curves were narrowed, since it had 55 feet, went to only 44 inches. The oval was also resurfaced, since previously it was very worn, especially had many undulations that made the cars jump, besides having a high degradation so the drivers had to be very careful with the wear of the tires. The style of the race became like a superspeedway (Daytona and Talladega), which I personally did not like the changes, as many drivers of the series.


Atlanta Motor Speedway is an oval of 1.540 miles (2.478 kilometers) of asphalt surface. The track has 4 curves, which as I had mentioned before, each one of them had a camber of 28°, while the main and back straight has an inclination of only 5 degrees. The lap record of this track is in the hands of Ross Chastain, with a time of 29.376 seconds, achieved in the first competition of this year 2023, due to the new configurations. The driver with the most victories is Dale Earnhardt (Father) with 9, as well as having the most number of top 5's with 26. On the other hand we have Richard Petty with 33 top 10's, with 75 starts. These are some data that I can share with you from the scenario corresponding to this weekend's race.


An important piece of news recently was the fact that there was a change in the pit lane speed procedure. Previously, drivers had to maintain a speed of 45 mph throughout the entire trajectory, and the entrance was at turn 4. But with the modification, the entry is at turn 3, this for greater safety due to the speeds that are reached. Now, in the first two sectors (sections) of the pits the drivers can go at a speed of 90 mph, and then in the other sections, the speed must be equal or less than 45 mph. This is only for green flag conditions, because with a yellow flag the speed must be 45 mph throughout. This is an important change that drivers must adapt to.


Chase Elliott was the winner of last year's second race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, but the highlight was starting from the pole. Among the active drivers, Kevin Harvick is the one who has the most victories with 3. Harvick is a driver who is very good at this track, but the one we had until 2021, when the track was complicated, with an asphalt surface of many years, with its characteristic undulations, where the Californian liked the inside line, very close to the white line. But with the recent changes and the fact that this driver is not in his best condition, he is in his retirement years, he is not among the favorites, but we know that in NASCAR anything can happen and we know Kevin's talent. Harvick also has the best numbers in terms of top 5 and top 10, with 9 and 16 respectively, he has the most poles with 2 together with Joey Logano, besides being the one who has led the most laps with 1,360.


The Penske's Joey Logano and Ryan Blaney are the ones that start as my favorites, this style of racing is very good for them. Another one I see with a good chance is William Byron of Hendrick, as well as his teammates Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson. We should never single out Kyle Busch. Being a superspeedway style race, luck plays an important role and anyone has a chance to win, the important thing is to avoid problems and incidents. For this race there is no free practice, just like at Daytona and Talladega. Qualifying is tomorrow, Saturday July 08, 2023 at 5:3pm ET in the United States. The race is on Sunday 09, where 260 is the number of laps, divided into segments, the first 60, the second and third to 100 laps each of the segments.
