Y ESTE MAE QUE??? CUANTAS MAS VA A NECESITAR :?:
después de que los mecánicos de Renault se quedaron hasta la 1 de la mañana reconstruyéndole el carro... mejor dicho, armando el otro chasis que trajeron porque en el primer accidente se le reventó la punta del monocasco. Ojo a la nota de Renault, esos maes sí que le pusieron ganas para sacar el carro!!! y todo para que Heikki lo volviera a estampar... el segundo choque le dañó el alerón y el costado del piso, así que los puso a bretear de nuevo para tener listo el R27 para la carrera. Además Kovalainen arrancará de último porque le tuvieron que cambiar el motor debido a una rotura antes de la clasificación. Así o más salado el mae...
“The impact didn’t look all that heavy but the force and the direction of it split the front of the monocoque,” explained Chief Mechanic Gavin Hudson. “When we realised this yesterday we decided to use our spare monocoque.”
From 4 p.m onwards a small team of 4 mechanics got down to work. “The reserve monocoque, no.3, includes the fuel tank, the cables and hydraulic lines but nothing more,” Hudson explained. “So we had to rebuild the car from scratch, install the suspension system, the pedal box, test the fuel system, start the engine and so on. We left the circuit at one o’clock in the morning.”
The rebuild took nine hours.
Chassis no.3 is the one Kovalainen has been using in most of the races this season so far.
“This incident is a perfect illustration of our team spirit,” Hudson summed up. “In fact, once Giancarlo’s car was finished in the evening, other mechanics gradually joined in to help their colleagues and the job was finished a bit earlier.”
The monocoque damaged yesterday (no.6) will be sent to Enstone. It will be repaired and used as a test car. The monocoque damaged by Fisichella in Monaco has been repaired; it will be sent to Indianapolis as a spare.
For Kovalainen and Renault, things get harder with a ten position drop following qualification.
