The Valencia Street Circuit does not rotate with the Circuit de Catalunya

When Bernie Ecclestone said that in the future any country could have two big prizes (in clear reference to Spain, the only country with two appointments in the calendar) was "declared war" (silent) between the Valencia street circuit and the Circuit of Caralunya to keep your appointment within the Grand Circus. At the time he jumped to the fore the possibility of Valencia and Montmelo alternate Grands Prix at the Nurburgring and Hockenheim to the Grand Prize of Germany style.
But yesterday European Grand Prix Valmor organizers in the mouth of his Vice-President, Jorge Martinez Aspar, wanted to make it clear that arise not alternate with anyone in the dispute of its Grand Prize. The contract of the Valencia Street Circuit ends in 2014, but reports suggest that it will be extended until 2020.
The rumors about the Grand Prix of Europe do not complete there that Rita Barbera has announced that in the negotiations to extend the contract has been put on the table the possibility to bring forward the date of the same, becoming one of the first Grands Prix held in Europe. This maneuver is to appeal to the European public with the first formula one event in the old continent, most the last weekend in the urban layout of the capital city of the Turia.

Spain F1 2011 GP: Fernando Alonso impresses at the Circuit de Catalunya

 The panorama not painted too well for Ferrari with the ban on its new rear spoiler. Fernando Alonso complained at the third session of free practice of the car was ungovernable after they were forced to reintroduce the rear wing used in the Grand Prize of Turkey.
The day ended in a sensational way to the Spanish. It seemed that as much to what was going to be eligible in the light of the free practice was going to be the fifth position on the grid for the race Sunday morning. The two-time world champion has completed a spectacular last lap which has left amazed Marc Gene and allowing you to boot from the fourth place. This improves the position at which this 2011 was paid.
In the first wave of classification he erred, in my opinion, avoidable when mounting a soft game unnecessarily. The fixed three tail, was added the fact that Nick Heidfeld would not take part after the barbecue of the R31 Renault at the third session of free practice. The eliminated seven were clear and in spite of this he rode the soft. It leaves me with doubts the possibility of that desconocieran that the single-seat German was not to participate. Anyway today be forgiven any slippage or despiste to the Asturian champion, although his team has something to do in this. Today truly is equal.
The Q2 was more tough. With the Red Bull being intractable to vary and the McLarens to its lagging behind, rivals Fernando Alonso were others. It passed on to the last run with the seventh best time and things not painted well in the face to the final round. It gave the impression that was going to have to fight with the Mercedes and the Renault of Vitaly Petrov. That wrong I were!

The best was yet to come. The Spanish only had a set of soft tyres. I was going to have a unique attempt in the final round, there was no margin for error. Fernando Alonso is was going to play everything to a letter. The result could not be better. Pulled out the most from the Ferrari 150 ° Italy with a record that will give you the ability to boot from the fourth position in the careers of tomorrow.
With his return master beat Jenson Button by little 32 thousandths and he was only 3 thousandths of Lewis Hamilton and his third place. Takes on greater relevance your time comparing it with the of teammate Felipe Massa, who stayed for more than nine tenths. A world having both of the same material.
At the end of the classification gave to Nira Juanco in laSexta his opinion about it:

It has been a perfect lap.

He avoided nor give its view on the new rear wing which brought for the weekend:

The wing was giving us some advantage, a tenth or two.

The podium seems the reasonable objective in the face of morning. Everything happens by leaving a way to decent since until the traffic light turns off and well manage your tyres. It should not be forgotten that his main rivals, Mark Webber, Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton, and possibly Jenson Button, have more than soft game than him. Left with the question in this case because it was not clear whether all used or not. Instead Hamilton might have problems with one of them due to the level that could do you to the left front tire, although in the subsequent classification press conference comment on should not worry.
Whatever happens, Fernando Alonso has the podium to tyre before the Spanish fans. Sure motivation you will not miss. Talent, either.

Michael Herck, the fastest after the last day of the season of GP2 in the Circuit de Catalunya

Michael Herck has been the best time in the general calculation of the last days of the season of GP2 in the Circuit de Catalunya. Coloni pilot obtained yesterday morning the best time of two days, and continues to demonstrate its good state of form.
Despite being the last pre-season tests, the times of some pilots have been surprised, both on the positive side and on the negative side. Starting with the first, to Michael Herck accompany preferential positions unusual pilots as Davide Rigon and Luca Filippi.
In addition, we have some that are always there, such as Romain Grosjean, Sam Bird and Davide Valsecchi. In the section on the negative surprises we have a mediocre time of Jules Bianchi, and a generally slow times of Dani Clos, has this year one of the last opportunities to shine in GP2.
Fabio Leimer, which highlighted in various tests, nor has not very remarkable results, and drivers such as Giedo van der Garde or Marcus Ericsson have not finished being ahead. It is clear that, with ranked is the GP2, the times of these tests do not mean almost nothing.
The GP2 Series 2011 will begin in two weeks in the circuit in Istanbul, in Turkey, and will represent the premieres of the new GP2/11 in the main Championship, having been used in the GP2 Asia Series. Feel like part of the paddock of the GP2 to begin a season that, well sure, will be as exciting as the last.

Artur Mas it is cautious about the future of Circuit de Catalunya formula

In today's was seen to the President of the Catalan Generalitat stroll Raikkonen taking advantage of the formula one pre-season tests. As usual, the politicians fail to stitch without thread, so Artur Mas it has tapped to comment on the future of the Catalan route.

And if we make case comments, I would say that we do not know if it has ensured its presence at least until the end of his current contract or whether fans should fear the loss of the Grand Prize of Spain. Artur Mas it has been too ambiguous to the future of the Circuit de Catalunya formula. Just as the second cites the European Grand Prix in Valencia Street Circuit, it is a complicated situation that could end with the quote from Spanish land.

I am here to take over. This world means a great deal, part of the sport, which is already important enough by itself. We are spoken in a sector, automovilisco, that moves and activates the economy. This country needs you shake and turn the economy and the F1 help for this

are in a time of severe budgetary restrictions and in need of the Generalitat of reduced budgets. This will slightly affect everything. We must pass these two difficult years and if we recover, this contract we have for a few years we will see with better eyes and conditions

we will do everything possible so that it is not. I cannot hide that we are in a time of enormous financial difficulties. We know that this type of racing are deficit, that entries not covered in any way the cost of these races, especially of F1. And the difficulties do not have to hide. We will try to find solutions. This year Grand Prix will be disputed. I hope that the next year, also

So after reading statements can understand so that will have formula for the next two years but that from there will be the economic situation which mark the rhythm. The EUR 13 million currently pays the Circuit de Catalunya to receive the formula become 26 million by the year 2016, last year of the contract. A high figure, and that makes up a circuit that will meet 20 years together with formula one in 2011 to see how their future isn't secured.

The Mercedes had been one of the disappointments of Montmelo, tests so far. Today, on the third day of testing of the Circuit de Catalunya Nico Rosberg has been the best time, remedying the problem. It seems that Mercedes are not as asleep as it seemed so far.

Moreover, after the German driver Vitaly Petrov has shown that when there are no problems, Lotus Renault GP is also front, some three tenths of Nico. Lewis Hamilton has achieved the third best time yet relatively near of the pilot from Mercedes, but from there, the stiempos have been more distant.

Perhaps one of the positive surprises of the day has been the sixth fastest time of Jarno Trulli, showing that Team Lotus could have reduced the distance between them the established teams last year, something that Virgin still does not seem to have achieved, at least so clearly.

During the day, have different situations of the asphalt, since that morning has been wet, and it has been drying as the day progressed. This has tapped it Rosberg to perform his fastest lap classification with little petrol and soft tyres style.

Another interesting thing was the day for Toro Rosso. Although time does not show, Daniel Ricciardo morning piloting has been remarkable, making a very good time in complicated conditions. In the afternoon, Sebastien Buemi has led Toro Rosso, even though his time was not spectacular.

For technical problems, has there been McLaren, Lotus and Williams, but in all three cases have compensated it for being quite fast in their respective fields. The truth is that, with regard to the final day of testing tomorrow, will be interesting to see how just everything.

1. Nico Rosberg Mercedes 1m23.168s 92

Test of the Circuit de Catalunya. Sebastian Vettel, the fastest on the first day of testing

Sebastian Vettel has been the fastest on the first day of testing at the Circuit de Catalunya, defending his honor as champion of the world, in spite of having few laps during the day. The German pilot has needed only 37 laps to take more than a second to Fernando Alonso, second.

At a meeting especially complicated, for much of the morning we had a wet runway, and only after eating they have been the best times. During the morning, Fernando Alonso was the fastest pilot, and has dedicated the evening to longer rounds to adapt to the Pirelli. To be able to vote this post you must login or register here.

Jenson Button has been fifth, ahead of Paul di Resta, despite not having out to track until the afternoon, has made a pretty good time. Two Britons have been just ahead of Michael Schumacher, who has made a career, mock stops including pit.

Rubens Barrichello has had a complicated day with problems in his Williams have also caused a red flag in addition to losing much of the day for prevention of engine change. Behind him riders Hispania, Lotus and Virgin with the Lotus Renault GP in the queue.

Artur Mas it is cautious about the future of Circuit de Catalunya formula

Circuits, formula Hunaudieres 19 February 2011 | 23: 15 To vote this post connect with Facebook Connect

In today's was seen to the President of the Catalan Generalitat stroll Raikkonen taking advantage of the formula one pre-season tests. As usual, the politicians fail to stitch without thread, so Artur Mas it has tapped to comment on the future of the Catalan route.

And if we make case comments, I would say that we do not know if it has ensured its presence at least until the end of his current contract or whether fans should fear the loss of the Grand Prize of Spain. Artur Mas it has been too ambiguous to the future of the Circuit de Catalunya formula. Just as the second cites the European Grand Prix in Valencia Street Circuit, it is a complicated situation that could end with the quote from Spanish land.

I am here to take over. This world means a great deal, part of the sport, which is already important enough by itself. We are spoken in a sector, automovilisco, that moves and activates the economy. This country needs you shake and turn the economy and the F1 help for this

are in a time of severe budgetary restrictions and in need of the Generalitat of reduced budgets. This will slightly affect everything. We must pass these two difficult years and if we recover, this contract we have for a few years we will see with better eyes and conditions

we will do everything possible so that it is not. I cannot hide that we are in a time of enormous financial difficulties. We know that this type of racing are deficit, that entries not covered in any way the cost of these races, especially of F1. And the difficulties do not have to hide. We will try to find solutions. This year Grand Prix will be disputed. I hope that the next year, also

So after reading statements can understand so that will have formula for the next two years but that from there will be the economic situation which mark the rhythm. The EUR 13 million currently pays the Circuit de Catalunya to receive the formula become 26 million by the year 2016, last year of the contract. A high figure, and that makes up a circuit that will meet 20 years together with formula one in 2011 to see how their future isn't secured.
