Fernando Alonso has gained one more a victory than important in the Great Prize of Europe, after taking advantage of the abandonment of his maximum rival in the championship, Kimi Räikkönen.
The Spanish of Renault obtained his fourth triumph of the year, after making a race preservative that allowed him to arrive at the last part of the race with the tires in regulating state, unlike its rivals, who in some cases finished in the open with fabrics of their tires.

All happy ones: Alonso by his fourth victory. Heidfeld was brilliant against his I publish. And Barrichello made a good race from 7º put

Renault learned the lesson of one week ago back in Monaco, when they placed tires softer than the habitual ones, harming remarkably to its pilots in second half of race. This time the engineers of the Gallic equipment decided on compound more duros, than in spite of the blocked constants of Alonso in race, they finished far better that the one of his rivals.
“He was something worried from the beginning after Ralf touched to me behind - I thought that the car could have damaged result and that it would have to leave. But after a few curves I realized of which everything was well, so I began to force the rate and to try to remove the maximum benefit from my strategy to be able to raise podio. The car has responded very well today, it has been easy to pilot, and the strategy has been perfect. He was already contented with the second position before carrying out my second re-fuelling, but then it communicated me to the equipment that Räikkönen had a problem and that had to increase the rate - indeed then it has been when I have left the track, since it was going to the 100% and I have committed an error. But in spite of that I have continued reducing distances with Kimi and have seen its accident in the first curve”, explained the leader of the world-wide one, Fernando Alonso.

Setback in the starting. Webber went, but Montoya also was closed abruptly. The Australian pilot only left here

Confused the first curve of the German circuit was not other people's to the incidents. Räikkönen was able to snatch the leadership to him to the surprising Nick Heidfeld in the first meters of race. Behind the chaos. Montoya made a good game and arrived by the outer part at the first curve, there it was struck by the Williams de Webber who dragged as well to other pilots like Ralf Schumacher, his brother Michael, Villeneuve Sato and Barrichello.
Alonso avoided enough with the accident, to the point almost to lose the tail of its Renault. In spite of the mess of cars, Webber only remained outside the race. The rest could recover although Sato and Ralf Schumacher had to go to boxes to repair their cars.

Kimi goes and Heidfeld is useful to capture the first position. Immediately the German would go away to boxes for his second halting

The Räikkönen Finn immediately took distance from Heidfeld, although the Williams of this last one had much less combustible in his deposit. On the other hand the Scot David Coulthard less removed to party from the confused starting, winning nothing than seven positions. His coequiper Liuzzi also he advanced, being located in the seventh square of the filing cabinet.
12 returns just by disputed, Heidfeld went to boxes for its first resupply of three programmed. With this it was clear that pole of the German partly had to the lightness of its car at the time of classifying. Williams hoped that Heidfeld conserved the end and added some difference to remove better benefit to the planned strategy, but with Räikkönen in the leadership, the agreed thing by Williams did not provide much effect.
Barrichello, that recovered many positions in the ten first returns, also chose an identical strategy to the one of the German of Williams. However his Schumacher companion decided on two haltings.
Meanwhile in the front, the McLaren de Räikkönen seemed unbeatable. At the time of entering for the first time to boxes, the Finn already counted with more than 15 seconds of advantage on Alonso, a distance that in that then was non-discountable for the Spanish …

Kimi abused its tires that did not resist. Here one was saved nearly to leave, soon it would return to be mistaken with Villeneuve

But the blocked constants of Kimi began to debilitate their tires more and more, especially the right forward, who underwent the confusion and the stroll by leca in return 30. A pair of turns later, Kimi returned to block violently in the first curve of the circuit. The front tire of the Finn began to make oval itself more and more, causing a constant vibration in the front suspension of its car. Nevertheless until that then his McLaren still it conserved an acceptable rate.
In the turn 43 Räikkönen it made his second and last resupply. In that then it entered with more than 14 seconds of advantage on Alonso. However the Spanish remained more in track by a pair of returns, doing returned flying with his very light Renault from fuel.
But the excessive speed of took it to Alonso to confuse in the bracket. Even so the Spanish resupplied itself and returned to track to only 10 seconds of Räikkönen.
Last the 15 returns were dramatic for Räikkönen. The vibration in its front wheel left more and more evident era. Alonso began to discount to him at the rate of two seconds by return, until the inevitable thing happened. The suspension of the McLaren de Kimi yielded in the last return leaving to the Finn with the empty hands. The confusion of Räikkönen was violent, and nearly almost wears to the BAR of Jenson Button.

Enormous disappointment of Kimi. Luckily the Finn left undamaged, but it lost ten valuable points. To Montoya it was not to him far better

“Really I am frustrated by to have had to retire to me when it went first in the last return and after dominating all the race. It had a balanced good car until my front tire was worn away straight too much causing terrible vibrations to me that finished breaking the suspension. We lost ten valuable points in the championship, nevertheless we will make the best thing of us to try to gain the races that remain of the season, since we have a very competitive package. This it is not indeed a right result as much for me as for all the equipment, that made a duro work”, heartbroken Kimi said.
Thus, the Spanish remained however, and the Finn of McLaren without anything. The victory of Alonso was more than decisive, increasing its difference from 22 to 32 points in the world-wide one of pilots. Something as well as three races of advantage when still they reduce twelve great prizes, which is not much.
But all the attention in Germany was not put in Alonso, Räikkönen and Heidfeld. It is necessary to rescue the sensational action of David Coulthard in his Red Bull. The Scot got to lead the race, and although lane received a penalty to exceed the speed limit in pit, the Scot recovered until 4º final position. His companion Vitantonio Liuzzi finished outside the points, ninth, to the steering wheel of the second Red Bull Cosworth, after surpassing a good scare in the last part of the test, when he left in the last curve and he was on the verge of hitting his RB1 against the wall of boxes.

Magnificent the one of Coulthard. The Scottish pilot is motivated and lost by an error the last step of podio. But he will not take in arriving

“He was very happy with the released one of the race. He had said to him to the equipment beforehand that he glided to be left me in the internal part of the first curve, since the previous years we had seen incident. We had a very good first sector and were competitive. It was disappointed by to have committed an error trying to leave before the Minardi in pit lane. I removed the speed-limiter before time and received a penalty that cost podio to us. But we must be satisfied and so we did today and I am contented with the result”, expressed the Scot of Red Bull.
For the author of pole and local pilot, Nick Heidfeld, 2º put has not been for anything dissapointing. The German risked with a strategy of three haltings that was not the best election, but after all the final result is rescatable, because the German especially begins to be more and more solid who its companion Mark Webber.

The strategy of Williams disappeared when Kimi snatched the leadership to him to Heidfeld. Webber not even could complete a return

“Obvious he is huge to secondly finish today after pole position of yesterday. It did not think that it could win, but podio ended up convincing to me that it was possible. We knew that Kimi would do the one best one released and surpassed in fact me in the beginning, but even so could follow it in the first curve, although it conserved his position. I pressed so it last as I could in the first part to remove a good difference with respect to the cars that came behind me and our strategy of three shutdowns gave result, because towards the end it was in third position”, commented the slight German of Williams.
Michael Schumacher has had a mediocre race in his Ferrari and he has not shown a good rate at any moment. His second and last shutdown in boxes has made him gain a position, surpassing to Felipe Massa after one long battle, and Schumacher is cruzado the goal almost 20 seconds behind Coulthard.
But Ferrari had a consolation, and this the visit to podio went of Rubens Barrichello. The Brazilian has been winning put taking advantage the errors of his rivals and has added his second podio of the season and the third party of Ferrari in which he goes of the championship.

Thus was seen it Rubens Barrichello to recover until reaching podio. The Brazilian demanded itself to top, but the Ferrari follows without responding

“This it has been an animated weekend! I believe that to release seventh and to finish third party it is very good. In the released one I was next to Alonso and soon two cars crossed opposite mine, forcing to me to go for the left before doubling the curve. I wasted long time, but after that I could press hard and to remove the best thing from my strategy of three shutdowns”, explained Barrichello.
In the world-wide classification of pilots, Alonso arrived at 59 22 units and increased to its advantage on Räikkönen and the Italian Jarno Trulli (Toyota), both with 27, followed by the Heidfeld German, who counts on 25 points.
Renault follows of leader in the classification of constructors with 76 points; McLaren occupies the second position with 53 and Toyota is third party with 44. The next test will be the Great Prize of Canada, to dispute the 12 of June in the circuit Gilles Villeneuve, of Montreal.
