Riassunto Qualifiche F1 Melbourne.
Un dominio Mercedes che c'è stato in tutti i momenti, perfino in Q2 sotto la pioggia battente. Da circuito dell'Albert Park di Melbourne insomma arriva la conferma di quello che si era visto nei test invernali: le Mercedes volano, la Ferrari c'è e la Red Bull non è nei guai fino al collo come molti immaginavano. Certo il discorso non vale per Vettel che si è fermato in Q2 rimanendo fuori dalla Q3, una cosa incredibile per il dominatore degli ultimi 4 mondiali, per il pilota che l'anno scorso qui ha fatto una pole straordinaria e che stavolta ha rimediato solo un modesto 13esimo posto. Vettel non mancava l'accesso al Q3 dall'edizione 2012 del Gp della Cina...
E la Ferrari? Raikkonen si è schiantato alla fine della Q2, danneggiando il muso, mentre il bravo Alonso alla fine si è piazzato quinto. Il Mondiale 2014 inizia insomma male per il pilota finlandese della Ferrari che dopo il botto torna mestamente ai box con il 12° tempo, fallendo l'accesso alla terza e decisiva frazione delle prove ufficiali.
Terza posizione per Nico Rosberg, in seconda fila assieme alla McLaren di Kevin Magnussen. Alle loro spalle come dicevamo Fernando Alonso, che ottiene il quinto tempo a 1"588 da Hamilton e che avrà accanto la Toro Rosso di Jean-Eric Vergne. A seguire Hulkenberg (Force India), Daniil Kvyat (Toro Rosso), Felipe Massa (Williams) e Valtteri Bottas (Williams), che perderà però cinque posizioni per la sostiuzione del cambio.
Raikkonen però, non è stato l'unico escluso eccellente del Q2. Male anche Jenson Button. Fuori anche Adrian Sutil (Sauber), Kamui Kobayashi (Caterham) e Sergio Perez (Force India). Nella prima manche erano state invece eliminate le due Marussia di Max Chilton e Jules Bianchi (Marussia), Esteban Gutierrez (Sauber) - che sarà retrocesso di cinque posizioni per la sostituzione del cambio -, Marcus Ericsson (Caterham) e le Lotus di Romain Grosjean e Pastor Maldonado.

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
