stay with us. 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 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 racing serious where he gained experience. in your principal riggle year between tally after his success in the g.p. to asia serious the training ground for future f one drivers to tell 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 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. was not true we still continue to work i'm still doing my job i'm still saying that even the end of the year. what do you really think of the things fine so so so no nothing happened no nothing no scandal no i mean the problem because you never spoke a lot to the list and or maybe through both of them you will be changing me for the next year but like if you come to internet today you will see the so this is a memo i already signed so i think people just speaking wrong things ok mr lee. you. have been pleased by vitale's performers 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 in and out of point 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 that you took part in postal how the team was working i think it will also went on 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 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 walking the theme through it all. taking my kid and the car away 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 in england who want to show this family 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 the second one of course when i was fifteen because of the cover six of the rating the steering wheel hose you know you have a lot of. it was really surprising in the car for a long period of p.s.p. having. seen what is really like a plane 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 than the 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 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 that would be as fast as muscle roddy's or through ariz but all the attempts failed by the end of the sixties the cars made in the used to start with too far behind their western counterparts the soviet formula one never managed to travel beyond the country and in 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 nine hundred eighty 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 researchers 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 school city race in weekend which draws crowds to the heart of the capital city every summer. because russia is. not famous for its races for its cup 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 you know 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 turn to the 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 like we'll have a lot of schools in bahrain in the early. when they can pick one driver and titian the problem 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 in our march there's 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 the secret of it's wrong a driver doesn't have to buy a receipt. 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 wherever and maybe some teams are asking the drivers to help 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 to to drive every minute of it. how did you get into formula one how did that happen and why reno. it was moving to counter for one thought. from the smallest for more and the latest was

a tribute to and then to come to forty 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 you know if you succeed what's what's the key to success in f one racing natural talent or war exercise technology technique and think everything everything we need to put in one place for example would result and the feeling to have a good understanding what we were doing before they contribute to and then took on the form or one and put everything in one pocket and this is the war. what do you think what for example let's say let's take michael schumacher what makes him so great what is this something you do this sort of a talent that you can't train it's just have to be born with all it's all these roller i mean if you tearing through the woods i have a special talent to drive this car three hundred kilometers humor is different as

it. is different maybe maybe not maybe or maybe not to be honest. i just at this stage where the team was built around the groove 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 it the best and he had me 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 a five by system 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 is a serious kids in the emirates and in 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 at all and i think i hope they will be built for that race and for four more one event so the whole of it's all because believe it's it's if you take another example like spain ten years ago you know was mostly interested in move to g.p. and racing cars and you need science to be totally i'm sure the media first will be interesting in two for my one and then obviously the spectators and those are russian people. it's if there is an interest then obviously the next step will be to create interest and to brings a formula one shoe into russian federation and make sure that people have access to it will if the russian one really want one circuit or 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 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 is the time to to move everybody to to try to make the sport to be more famous and support everybody to make f one into russia. say you tell me put that off and i recall the spotlight will be back shortly right after the break so stay with us down the.

line. would be soon which brightened if you knew me about song from feinstein question these. stocks on t.v. dot com. wealthy british style is not. the time to explain. markets 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 into cars a report on our. 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 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 has the details on that hi there today i'll try to find out if people in this country think that russia. so formula one track yes. yes i think our own truck formula one is very interesting to watch. i don't think i would go to work for more one races i don't because that. is of course we should have one because it's a very. even though it's not cheap to have a race track countries wealthy enough to have one. i think there are plenty of

other problems in our country besides the lack of a 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 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 truck. driver say one of the guys the guys that you really mix with when where when you drive do what do they think about the 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 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 and all circles gives gives more parties to the experience guys is that right right of course and. of course like i've been there 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 that . sorry 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 what would you say the car of the car of the driver eric you need you need to base driver in the 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 the liver and vice versa you know you kinds of

first 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 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 will still be he will still be the fourth right because five years 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 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 from your one car every day to train so you need to be living experience and we have many many examples like reinstituted for example to now after three years start to get some points but that's a big 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 need a bit of time to adapt but don't tell me that you are two cars are the same because because i don't know a lot about formula i know a lot about skiing but when like a company makes this keys the first five players go to the guy number one then the next five players go to the guy number two. and then the third five and so every player even even such a simple thing as keys is worse than the previous one so if you have a good set you card so i mean one is better of course it is a good thing in the form of i wanted to compare with skiing so we don't need to make hundreds of seeing so we just need to make to four sets one for each one spare book or zones as falsetto ian said pick ups to previous or cross as

always absolutely i don't see good parts on both carlon 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 are competing with mercedes 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 evolutions 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 it official partner are the reno company and this is why you have lied on your surety of ladder which is a clear russian car. 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. or was technology to be shoulders. it's clearly structured to move think from both companies or resourcing to learn to gain clearly rowers to gain something from another from what 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 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 reno strategy the guys from eastern europe. i think the theme they play to the both people to win the war. if there's a month i think which country. i think. there is there is no strategic decision or you are like a geographical now one of. the but 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 lie like the russians are crazy that is crazy but they were yes i can i can see every morning i to respect their love of writing. ok literally you are taking this three seater 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 oh new what of course the fun is good the me my fans the people and. for 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 who 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 there in the car and sit with me and i will be there is this three seats are really different from the real thing of the ones that say it's slower of course it's 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 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 experience here but then first of all it's

three circuit in a very dangerous to wall full speed and to have a fast corner because you can do a mistake on pressure cables of. the person to be. i think most of the speed it's more of the soldiers are really losing this and i was assuring i mean succession of these guards certainly incredible you know and it's it's not very impressive to be driven three hundred kilometer per hour it's more the acceleration from zero to two hundred hospital make it well like three hundred now i think last year they did two hundred eighty something where i did two hundred fifty in a normal currency but they sort of they said are you going to second and foremost take a human should the noise this is i'm in first time in my life when i was in the f one circuit was in silverstone and the noise in real life is completely different from what you hear in television it's like a honeybee i mean on television it's like a car but like on a real it is like a b. so i mean the noise is exhilarating supposed to be and wanting to rush 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. even a fast car like porsche whatever sort of earth and you're broke no i mean yes but i've heard an opinion like like a lot like an f one car is. incredible if you want this but over your place coin is not possible to go for one sound it's a different different thing in the. big blue for. you to fly the airplane i mean right. so i think it's something nothing in common not is not possible. i don't want to say the name of the car but it's three or five or ten steps more when you first. got behind the wheels and drove a car how old will you. and you got five farms you started driving was

it good that's colonel it was a goalie a was it was allowed to go. i was that i to go on to the steering wheel. here 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 on the notable because what you. can look for example even if it's one hundred thirty enough to one ok go another foot if you go on that if you have a risk 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 go ok thank you thank you very much vitale at least thank you very much bill c.b. africa having coming here to us and just to remind that bitterly put that off and we'll 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. of. 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 to join us for technology update on our g.
