and with the prospect of a moscow grown korean cytology talk to the sport's first ever russian driver. for. hello again and welcome to spotlight the interview show on artsy i'm now going out and today will be meeting one of the fastest people on earth we thoroughly pissed off 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 ray no formula one team says they are happy to have him on board and believe and his talent today their

russian f one driver and their rino f one team principal other guests of spotlight . formula one race is 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 rushers first drive in f one italy prof he made his way to the renault team through various racing serious where he gained experience. renault principle year between tally after his success in the g.p. to asia serious the training ground for future f one drivers his best result 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 get off on the rebuild yeah i hear in the studio to give us beyond says.

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. was not true we still continue to work i'm still doing my job i'm still saying that in the end of the year. what do you really think of the things fine so i would know nothing happened nothing no scandal no i mean the problem because here are the focal of those on the list and or maybe so both of them 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 ruki in reno's package is that true it's totally true you just just just have to comes number of points he's got already. a fact tears already a mark from anyone with a lot of talent under of action on track and some very good performance on a very put an adversary somebody with potential. literally this is your rookie season in formula one what makes formula one so different from the previous races 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 that here is different and you saw it by the team that did that so the main the main difference for you is not how the car is oracle is our key the people it will hear how they work it what we are different about it is more than five hundred fifty five. to the people is what the themes. try to make it and the current hundred people. including i mean i mean in capturing and all that the thing here. and this is the number of people here who go along with you with the circus or these other people in england who want to shop for a wedding and working through the go to the sort of 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 color sex a liberating the studio will host you know you have

a lot of. it was really surprising in the car for a more serious thing looks like a 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 you know the media has more and that. the first fan of formula one in russia was joseph stalin son of a c.v. he was behind the building of the first two russian racing car in the nineteen thirty s. 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 that would be as fast as muscle roddy's or through ari's but all the failed by the end of the sixty's the cars made in the us a saw would 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 were numerous attempts to stage formula one grand prix in russia the first was right after the one nine hundred eighty s. summer olympics in moscow and the 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 tracking 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 that we don't have a very professional circuit where i was going to try some things and secondly we don't have a school like a lot of schools in bahrain in the valley. when they can take 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 do to buy himself a place in reno if it's not a secret it's not a secret of it's wrong road doesn't have to buy receipts. if 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 hope this isn't the case in the 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 that happen and why reno but was moving to can't afford one or. both they're both from the smallest for more and the latest was a tribute to and then to come to afford 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 but 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 good feeling to have a good understanding what you are doing before they contribute to and then took on the form or one and pull to everything in one pocket and this is the world but 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 born with all it's all all these rower i mean if you tell him to do to have a special talent to drive his car at three hundred kilometers humor is different as he. is different maybe maybe not maybe or maybe not to be honest. i just at this stage where 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 to ferrari for he 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 emirates and 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. now at least. for one and all people thought of and i think i hope they will be built for the race and for four more events so i hope of its logical belief it's it's if you take another example like spain ten years ago you know 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 are 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 bridge for everyone in 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. say you tell me put them off and the spotlight will be back shortly right after the break so stay with us and.

wealthy british style. time to explicitly. market why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with max cons are the no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to cause a report on our hungry for the full story we've got. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers.

welcome back to spotlight on alderney now then just a reminder that my guests here in the studio today are vitale patrols and. we have discussed the subject of 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 at any one of us has the details on that hi there today i'll try to find out if people in this country think that russia needs its own formula one track yes doing it so we'll yes i think we need our own truck formula one is very interesting to watch. when you feel i don't think. i would go to work for the one race i don't because that. is of course we should have one because it's

a very kitchen event even though it's not cheap to have a racetrack countries wealthy enough to have one. i think there are plenty of other problems in our country besides the lack of a formula one track. 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 and so there is no need for a track in our country does not 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 track thirty what do the drivers say what are the guys they're the guys that you really mix when when when you drive do what do they think about a perspective to come driving to moscow. i think that the reaction inside inside the circuit but i think the same like me for example i want some sort of kid you know to understand to the world to try something else i think will be will be will

do. so because he and most think it will be brilliant you're a beginner in formula one self so so having a new circuit is good for you because this this levels all the drivers while driving in old circles gives gives more parties to the experience guys is that right right of course not of course like i would be and then through look i didn't i don't know this sort of it's funny to learn from zero again but anyway it's a good experience to have in your suited for call and perform or one of the problems with russian precipitation in formula one is if it is of course the technology the car here now we have the driver but we still don't have the technology what's what's more important the car or the driver just don't say both i know both but i mean what would you say the car of the car of the driver erik you need you need to base driver on the best car. i know i can't you can't you can

what's your thing you know you can't you got a driver can't win if the car is not the deliver and vice versa you know you kind of the best car if you don't have the let's say one of the best driver you will not win ok let's not talk about ferrari everything but i want to do 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 changing and it will change and you will still be and he will still be the fourth ready because it's five years in formal one look what is sure like it is for example with this car what he will tell of course he will change. he just have a good look at your new media needs to make people understand. it's not like running every morning. by regulation but also you can't races formula one car every day to train so in is to be living experience and we are many many examples like

suited for example to now after three years start to get some points but that's a b.a. was not so fast an issue look at 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 needed a bit of time to to adapt but don't tell me that your two cars are the same because because i don't know a lot about formula i know a lot about skiing but when. a company makes their skis the first five players go to the guy number one then the next five pairs go to the guy number two and then the third five and so on and every player even even such a simple thing it skis is worse than the previous one so if you have a good set you climbers so i mean one is better of course it is a good thing in the form and i wanted to compare with skiing in winter we don't need to make and roads of seeing so we just need to make to four sites one

for each car one spare book or zones of falsetto ians or pickups to pull your car so those are absolutely identical parts on both car and both cars are strictly identical ok one one question to both of you but i think alec and i was better yes far as i understand you're competing with these 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 you make it yes we have we have a many 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 the grads which to mexico are faster had vetoed it to be fast as a service. is it true that making an f one car is like same.

space technology is that right for the. plane to say. the russian company called or austere is no law against become an official sponsor the 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 on your car well. do you think that reno can. learn something from rusty and i 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 strategy can move think from both companies are resourcing to learn to gain clearly runner as to gain something from another from what was their technology and vice versa literally when you joined the team well when you judge this company reno i'm

sure that you ask yourself the question why are these strange people from france or french korea based in london and the 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 played to the both people who in the world. if there's a month i think which country. think. well there is there is no strategic decision or you are either geographical now none of that or. did 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 those are crazy but they were 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 to 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 for the me my fans the people and then for my third it's quite important to feed 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 there and 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 it's low 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 event that that the

formula really car make it to real speed because the distances to small and i mean it can't really show the real the real explained here but on first those three circuit is very dangerous to wall full speed and to have a fast corner because you can do a mistake on crash you will to protect the president to be. nothing more was a speed it's more as you saw the soldiers are really losing this and i was assuring i mean succession of these guards sort of incredible you know and it's it's not very impressive to be driven at three hundred kilometers per hour it's more the acceleration from zero to two hundred to hostile make it like three hundred now i think last year they didn't. thank you something really know what i did two hundred fifty in a normal cars but they sort of you know they put it going to second for more than five seconds you mentioned the noise this is a minute first time in my life when i was in the one circuit wasn't silverstone and the noise in real life is completely different from what you hear in television

it's like a honey bee i mean on television it's like a car but like on a real it is like a b. so i mean the noise the sense there is you're supposed to be wanting to rush into your life report what it is by the way is there any think in common in driving in a formula one car and in 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 i know you're place going is not possible to cope with for one and it's a different different thing it is certainly a big clue 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 fight for life you started driving was it your dad's colonel it was a goalie a little boy who was allowed to go. i will start to go under the steering wheel. and then come back just to see it go and have you have you ever being pulled over by police and the did you ever lose your license well now let's never know because i don't like to go fast i'm not a model because what you. can look for example even if it's one hundred thirty enough to run ok go another thirty if you go to one of your favorites you can bet you can cross you can do it then jennifer and other people if i tell you know what i mean i prefer to not to go ok thank you thank you very much vitale every thank you very much missy b. africa having coming here to us and just to remind you that bitterly put off and we

hear from reno f one team where my guest spots my 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. every month we give you the future we hope 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 for technology update on our g.
