is the first to russian formula one driver in history and two thousand and ten is his first season so far he has scored six points but they know formula one team says they are happy to have him on board and believe in his talent today their russian f one driver and their rino f one team principal other guests of spotlight . formula one races have been thrilling the world for sixty years the best to make use of in picking the best drivers from different countries to drive the best cars and now among the best of the best russia's first drive in f one italy prof he made his way to the renault team through various raising serious where he gained experience. in your principal year between tally after his success in the g.p. to asia serious the training ground for future f one drivers italy's best results so far has been a seventh position getting his first championship points so how's he doing now and

how's are getting along with the team little bit off on the rebuild yeah i hear in the studio to give us beyond says. hello gentlemen thank you very much for being with us hello and welcome to the shop my first question is to the telly and it's a very serious question because i have read it more than once in the internet and also in the print media that your days in formula one accountant that you have started but you are sort of already finished. what's that all about well you just find that in the internet. not true we still continue to work i'm still doing my job i'm still saying that in the end of the year. in our plan and what we really think of the things fine so so so no nothing happened not me no scandal no i mean the problems here are the focal of those on the list and or maybe somebody whom you

will be changing me for nice here but like if you come to internet today you will see the so this is a no i already sign so i think people just speaking wrong things ok mr billy. you. have been pleased by vitale's performance as far as i know you have been pleased so far what what makes you believe and i have also read that in the internet you can find anything and yeah i think that that you called the tele the best ricky in reno's package is that true it's totally true you just just just have to consummate of points he's got to really. the fact is already a mark for one with a lot of talent on that of action on track and some very good performance on a very put and just sort of somebody with potential. literally this is your rookie

season in formula one what makes formula one so different from the previous races there that you took part in postal how the team was working i think we're also well and for a while he was really surprised how the team is working and what is very interesting i thought you would start you would start saying about the car they are is different and you saw it by the team that did so the main the main difference for you is not how the car is oracle is our key the people it was all here how they work in what we are different about it is more than five hundred fifty five. to the people is what the theme throughout all. of my kids and the current hundred people . including i mean capturing and all that thing here and there and this is the number of people here who go along with you with the circus or these other people you know there was a shop playing wasn't working to the go to the sort of it's

a love of sixty seventy people so this is this is was first one i was surprised and the second one of course when i was fifteen because of the cover six of the rating the stereo will host you know you have a lot of. it was really surprising in the car for a long period of p.s.p. having. to work is really like playing you know you have a lot of yes which is the same well russia has a long history of trying to get to formula one spotlight the media has more in that . the first formula one in russia was joseph stalin son of i see the he was behind the building of the first two russian racing car in the nineteen fifties the car named soco or hawk was revolutionary for its time but it didn't comply with the rules of formula one soon never took part in international competition in one thousand nine hundred sixty the soviet version of formula one

was created and for years russian engineers tried to come up with cars there would be as fast as muscle roddy's or ferrari's but all the temps failed by the end of the sixties the cars made in the us to start with too far behind their western counterparts the soviet formula one never managed to travel beyond the country and then one nine hundred seventy six it seized to exist what followed when you mercer to stage formula one the grand prix in russia the first was right after the one nine hundred eighty summer olympics in moscow and though brash never. said to have been enthusiastic at first thank you was the sun never hosted the race after the collapse of the soviet union from time to time there have been plans to build formula one tracks in russia but none of them has yet been fulfilled to us dennys have seen several russian racers trying to get to one the main problem they've faced is the inability to find sponsors when vitaly petrov finally made it into the

world's premier racing competition its popularity in russia soared and while there's still no f one track in russia there's a chance to feel the spirit of the competition during the most cool city race in weekend which draws crowds to the heart of the capital city every summer. because russia is. not famous for its racers well the only exception is the commands of the famous laurie drivers so but the quality of driving in the streets in russia i think is one of the best in the world no really the russians are very good drivers so why what do you think is the reason that russians who do drive cars who love to drive fast have never made it to to big in racing why. for two reasons i think the first reason is we don't have

a very professional circuit where i was going to sell things and second when we don't have a school we'll have a lot of schools but again in the early. when they can pick one driver and titian the program i think. eric. as far as i know formula one is different from many other sports because a driver has to buy him self a place in the team is that right and how much does a driver have to pay for example to to to buy himself a place in reno if it's not a secret it's not a secret of it's wrong a driver doesn't have to buy receipts. it depends basically about the finals of the team as many many other spots you need some sponsors to achieve what you want to do formula one is one of the most expensive because not only is a driver you need to develop a car. definitely some teams toppings are driver and maybe some teams are

asking the drivers to help. in run oh so so you hire drivers yes so you didn't have to do to to pay like cash to do to drive arena it. how did you get into formula one how did it happen and why reno but was moving to counter for both or. from smallest for more and the latest was a tribute to and then to come to one. ok you know you succeeded it's a dream of many people to to to to make it different when you're just twenty four that over here if you succeed what's what's the key to success in f one racing and natural talent or were exercise technology technique and think everything everything going into court in one place for example would result and the feeling

to have a good understanding what what you are doing before they contribute to and took on before the one and pull to everything in one pocket and the. what do you think what for example let's say let's take michael schumacher what makes him so great what is this something in this sort of a talent that you can't train it's just have to be bull with all its all all these rower i mean if you tearing through the woods i have a special talent to drive this car at three hundred kilometers humor is different desi. is different maybe maybe not maybe or maybe not to be honest. at this stage whereas the team was built around the city and grew is human and you have the best car of the paddock clearly but when he came you remember that when he came to two ferrari three was nothing and he said in three years we'll make you the best and the enemy and he did yes but it's not only is a work of one on one guy you know it's

a world team and it's five or by this time it was more a ton of people in ferrari we all work together to make the team better. well recently formula one has started opening new circuits so now it has a serious kids in the red sea and then china well all over the world from canada to to malaysia here what do you think what do you think about russia and russia has as we saw as has long been trying to get a formula one formula one track what's the problem with with with making one in russia i think first of all we don't have it like at all before it's called to get the earth and then we don't have a real professional circuit to teach them the circle now at least. for one and all people thought at all and i think i hope they will be built for the race and for four more events of the whole of it's all because i believe it's it's

if you take another example like spain ten years ago you know who was mostly interested in moto g.p. and racing cars and you need science to be totally i'm sure the media first will be interesting in two formula one ends in obviously the spectators and those the russian people. if there is an interest then obviously the next step will be to create interest and to brings a formula one shoe into russian for the russian. people have access to it will if the russian one really want one circuit should they start by signing a contract with their for one and though then building the surrogate or first build the circuits and then try to break for everyone except who to the people who are interested in building such a project you know and i'm sure i mean been interested in those been very clear easy and clearly interested in bringing from anyone into russia now you have a russian driver on the other talented russian driver so it's now's the time to to

move everybody to try to make the sport to be more famous and support everybody to make f one into russia. see you tell me put that off and i recall the spotlight will be back shortly right after a break so stay with us and. wealthy british scientists not. the time to explain the. markets why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy

with mike's concert for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to cause a report. every month we give you the future we help you understand how we'll get there and what tomorrow brings the best in science and technology from across russia and around the world join us acknowledging update on our jeep. welcome back to spotlight on algernon then just a reminder that my guests here in the studio today are vitale patrols and. we have discussed these subjects are bringing formula one to russia and the first part of the show now let's see if people in russia really think that this country needs an f one track spotlights cuts has the details on that hi there today i'll try to find

out if people in this country think that russia needs its old formula one track yes doing it so we'll yes i think we need our own show. formula one is very interesting to watch. i don't think i would go to work for more one races i don't think of that interesting. because of course we should have one because it's a very. even though it's not cheap to have a race track a country's wealth you know to have one. well i think there are plenty of other problems in our country besides the lack of formula one tranche. i don't think we should have a formula one track because i think it is something only for rich people they can afford to travel abroad for these types of events so there is no need for a track in our country. yes we should have one because it's very interesting i would definitely go to watch it well that's what people think now do formula one drivers think that russian formula one truck. driver say one of the guys they're

the guys that you really mix with when where when you drive do what do they think about a perspective to come driving to moscow i think the reaction inside inside the circuit but i think. for example i want some sort of you know to understand. the world to try something else i think. so if. you're a beginner in formula one so so so having a new circuit is good for you because this this levels all the drivers while driving an old circles gives gives more parties to the experience guys is that right right of course. of course like i would be and i don't know this sort of it's funny to learn from zero again but anyway it's a good experience of having your sort of perform or one of the problems with russian precipitation and in formula one is if it is of course the technology of

the car yeah now we have the driver but we still have the technology what's what's more important the card. or the dr didn't say both i know both but i what would you say the car of the car of the driver eric you need you need the best reverends best car. i know i can't you can't you can what would your thing you know you can't you got a driver can't win if the car is not of the liver and vice versa iow you kinds of s. car if you're out of let's say one of the best driver you will not win ok let's not talk about ferrari everything what i want is that let's talk about reno you have two cars right one one one driven by could beat said one driven by you if you switch cars are you going to make it better than could be said but will be changing and it will change and you'll still be he will still be the fourth right because it's five years behind informal ones look what is like it is for example with this car what he will tell of course he has all changed. he just to

have a good occur your new media needs to make people understand that it's not running every morning. by regulation but also you can't races formula one car every day to train so you need to be living experience and we are many many examples like to be unsuited for example to now after three years start to get some points but that's a big was not so fast an issue got fernando alonso the first jury was driving for me now the end he was always between eighteen and twenty fourth so it's clearly experience comes with the years you you race before to build up and to learn how to race a racing car but if one is something which is very very competitive and you just need a bit of time to adapt but don't tell me that your two cars are the same because because i don't know a lot about four wheel i know a lot about skiing but when like a company makes their skis the first five years go to the guy number one then the

next five players go to the guy number two and then the third five and so what every player even even such a simple thing it's key. this is worse than the previous one so if he has a good say you cars so i mean one is better of course it is a good thing in the front i wanted to compare with skiing in rate so we don't need to make drugs of seeing so we just need to make to four sites one for each car one spare book or zones of falsetto eons of pickups to prevail as across as always absolutely i don't see good parts on both car and both cars are strictly identical one question to both of you but i think air leak was better yet as far as i understand you are competing with me c.d.'s right now for for grabbing the fourth place in the competition have you prepared something new for the new season something that will really. help yes we have we have a many still many of aleutians coming. and i'm excited we have this famous

dirk which has make a lot of noise or internet in the media which will come soon as well in the summer . so we still have a lot of a grads which to mexico are faster had vetoed it to be fast as i said this. is it true that making an f one car is like same. space technology is that right. to build a plane it's exactly the same. the russian company called or austere is no law against become an official sponsor a official partner are the reno company and this is why you have lied on your surety of ladder which is a russian car on your eye on your car well. do you think that reno can. learn something from rusty can drastically contribute not only with money but with technology i think you expect answering i think both companies the decision to

be a forerunner two to four was technology to be shoulders in the same it's clearly stuck to gitmo. i think from both companies are resourcing to learn to gain clearly rowers to gain something from from was their technology and vice versa literally when you joined the team well when you joined this company reno i'm sure that you asked yourself a question why are these strange people from france or french korea based in london and hiring hiring two guys from eastern europe to slavic guys a pole in the russian is it just by chance so or is it sort of a sort of a rino strategy to hire guys from eastern europe. i. think the theme they play to find the both people to win the war. if there's a month i think which country the team think. well there is there is no strategic

decision or if you like a geographical now one of about or. you know that there is a saying i'm sure you heard it more than once that every russian loves fast driving i mean i mean by like the russians are crazy that is crazy with thirty years ago and i can see every morning i took their love of writing. ok literally you are taking this three seater a formula one to moscow and drive it around the kremlin and in the center of the city what do you expect from this event just a thought i knew what of course the fun is good the meet my fans the people and then from my third it's quite important to see the guys in the car and drove them around the kremlin just to show them how far the form or because like this we can speak with you and try to explain or explain the people around the world what is a form of envy will be in their understand when they really can go in the car and

sit with me in there will be there is these three seats are really different from the real thing of the ones it's so it's slower of course a slow but the acceleration will be quite not really similar but quite you know it i've heard it from last year when they did the similar thing last time events that that the formula really can't make it to real speed because the distances to small and i mean it can't really show the real the real not exactly clear but and first of all is three sort of get in is very dangerous to wall full speed and to have a fast corner because you can do a mistake on pressure will to protect the to be. nothing more than speed it's more as you saw the soldiers are really nice and i was showing i mean succession of these guards sort of incredible you know and it's it's not very impressive to be driven a three hundred kilometer it's more the acceleration from zero to two hundred the hospital make it like three hundred now i think last year they didn't. thank you

something really well i did two hundred fifty in a normal cars but they say they said to you that we're going to second for more than five seconds you mentioned the noise this is in the first time in my life when i was in the circuit wasn't silverstone and the noise in real life is completely different from what you hear in television it's like how maybe i mean on television it's like a car i would like on a real it is like a b. so i mean the noise the sense there is you're supposed to bring everyone into russia into your life for what it is by the way is there any think in common in driving in a formula one car and then driving a normal car or even a fast car like porsche whatever you know for certain you're broke no i mean yes but but but i've heard an opinion like like a lot like an f one car is. incredible if you want this but never you know place going is not possible to cope with for one sound it's a different different thing it is certainly the big blue for. you to fly the

airplane i mean since i wrote it. i think it's something nothing in common not is not possible. but i don't want to say the name of the car but it's three or five or ten steps more when have you first. got behind the wheels and drove a car how old will you. and you know when you got five as far as you started driving was it your dad's car with me it was a goalie i was a little louder. or i will start to go under the steering wheel. here and then come back just to see it go in have you have you ever being pulled over by police and the did you ever lose your license now never not because i don't like to go fast on the note about all because what you. can load so for example. if it's one hundred thirty enough to run ok go another thirty if you go to one hundred

you have risk you can then you can crash you can get the engine off for another people if i tell you know what i mean i prefer to not to go ok thank you thank you very much vitale eric thank you very much bill c.b. africa having coming here to us and just to remind you that bitterly patrols and everything we hear from reno f one team where my guest spots by today and that's it for now from all of us here will be back tomorrow with more until then stay on r.t. and take care that's it.
