Grand Prix of Europe F1 2011: Hispania Racing F1 Team is mixed with the Marussia Virgin Racing

Hispania Racing F1 Team has been mixed with the Marussia Virgin Racing today in the qualifying session for the formula 1 Prix Europe great. This is a good result for the Spanish team, which runs the second home race this weekend. Although Vitantonio Liuzzi has not been able to overcome to Timo Glock, has really surpassed Jerome D'Ambrosio.
Therefore, the two last rows of the grid alternate Virgin cars and Hispania, with Narain Karthikeyan closing the grill. After the success of Canada, Hispania aims to gradually reach its rivals, and they are still working on the same line. It seems that the Spanish team does not lose comba and may fight you to you tomorrow with Virgin.
Although Liuzzi has completed a second Timo Glock, race probably you can try to fight with the German, because that, in general, the Hispania has behaved better this season on Sunday than Saturday. It will have to wait to see what will happen tomorrow, with Liuzzi and Karthikeyan ready to attack it as necessary.
Therefore, the objective of the team for tomorrow will be finish ahead of the two Virgin and perhaps come a little closer to the Lotus of Tony Fernandes, if they have good pace. First and foremost, finish the race is always vital, if its rivals have problems, clear. When others fail, must be able to finish and take advantage of situations.

Marussia Virgin Racing and Wirth Research end their collaboration

Formula 1 Igor Zamorano on June 2, 2011 | 15: 05 To vote this post connect with Facebook Connect

After two years working together and developing the first single-seat entirely developed with CFD, Marussia Virgin Racing has decided to break his collaboration with Wirth research. The company directed by Nick Wirth has been responsible for the design of the single-seater two of the British team, the VR-01 and the MVR-02, and so have not resorted or a second to the help of the wind tunnel as do the rest of rivals.

Perhaps at that point has been the failure of Wirth. It can be designed and can develop a single-seater with computers, but when it comes to validate the results, wind tunnel provides data that the computer does not give. For the current season, the goal of Marussia Virgin Racing was strain is usually in the Q2, and now they are more concerned with the approach of Hispania Racing F1 Team to to war the Team Lotus.

Wirth Research will continue to work in the development of the evolutions of this season, but with immediate effect, the wind tunnel will again have his egg in the equation. As for the technical chart, after "forced" retirement, Pat Symonds, Counsellor of Marussia Virgin Racing, will take will be one of the team's new Lords.

In a step further, Marussia Virgin Racing aims to sign a collaboration agreement with McLaren, similar to the Woking team has to Force India. This will allow use of the technology, KERS, McLaren transmision…de and try to fight for a podium in the Grand Prize of Russia to be held in Sochi in 2014. That last would be the real dream of the current owners, Marussia.

Robert Wickens could replace Jerome D'Ambrosio in Marussia Virgin Racing

At the beginning of this season, we mentioned as there was no Belgian driver in formula one since Bertrand Gachot in 1995. It seems that, this year could see the first Canadian in formula one since Jacques Villeneuve in 2006, and it's Robert Wickens could replace Jerome D'Ambrosio in Marussia Virgin Racing.
It seems, the sponsors who support the Belgian pilot have not paid and, on the other hand, the sponsors supporting the Canadian, are eager to pay and see its pilot to compete in formula one. Although the situation is worrying, Jerome did not want to give too much importance, for the time being.
But the situation must be serious, since Eric Boullier is traveling to Belgium to talk with sponsors who have not paid what they should. Wickens is competing in the Formula Renault 3.5, and these now leads the Championship, ahead of Jean-Eric Verge, Alexander Rossi and Albert Costa.

I have talked to the people of Virgin, and it seems that they are becoming impatient. They have said clearly that if it does not change the situation, they shall replace Jerome with another pilot.

Hispania Racing F1 Team wants to "hunt" Marussia Virgin Racing

After seeing during the Chinese Grand Prix "first evolution" in the history of Hispania Racing F1 Team, new cover of engine without fin sharks and new front wing, in the Spanish team are very optimistic for the future. Despite the problems are more closely rivals of what one might think and that is why the objective of Hispania Racing F1 Team in the Grand Prize of Turkey will be reaching Marussia Virgin Racing.
To this end, in Istanbul Park improvements, both mechanical and aerodynamic level will present, during the day on Friday as the head of the team, Colin Kolles has stated. The German acknowledges that the Turkish route should encourage them already that best suits the f than to other cars so it hopes to reduce the distance of the classification and fight for positions during the race. That Yes, without forgetting that the real objective of the team is lead to the two cars to the checkered flag.

Sakon Yamamoto will be the pilot reserve Marussia Virgin Racing in the first three races of the year

In 2010, Sakon Yamamoto arrived in Hispania Racing F1 Team was a surprise to many. The Japanese driver had been three years without driving a formula one and the bet sounded risky. Seven Grands Prix then appears that Yamamoto him has been good out of "retirement". Today, Marussia Virgin Racing has confirmed that Sakon Yamamoto will be pilot book in the first three Grands Prix of the year, Australia, Malaysia and China.
That Yes, any chance to see Japanese uploaded to a single-seat happens that any two regular pilots of the Anglo-Russian team, Timo Glock and Jerome D'Ambrosio suffers a problem. But like anything can happen, Yamamoto will be part of all meetings of the team during those three Grands Prix.

Before formula 1: Marussia Virgin Racing, to revalidate the Red Lantern in 2011

marussia virgin racing is one of the three teams that shot to the fore in 2010. It is, say, one of the teams of enlargement that Bernie Ecclestone wanted to put on grid last year and who now already is is repenting, by ensuring that he would like to return to the scheme of ten registered teams. As well, between Lotus, Virgin and Hispania did not I would be precisely with the protagonists of this entry.
Start cutting. The last year Virgin Racing today with the prefix Marussia, he was the team's tail, the Red Lantern in the classification behind Lotus and of Hispania Racing Team, that although they did not get points that were consistently ahead of her. Interestingly their pilots were not the last in the standings because HRT "used" four pilots throughout the year.
Of the "Cosworth teams", excluding of course Williams running in another League, Virgin Racing proved to be her had feet less land. Last year in our previous we mentioned the madness to undertake a career in Formula 1 with tight budgets, and even more confident design to simulations and not to the wind tunnel, something that anyone he seems antieficiente.
Arrived late to pre-season test in one occasion, and this year also began to a good start because they took the seat from 2010 to the early days of evidence. Winter test days have not brought to light the presumed potential of cacareaban from the team, which was intended to be included in the Q2 with some frequency and do their usual rivals of Sauber and Toro Rosso.
None of it has been, or by hint, and with prospects for 2011 at historic lows, the Marussia Virgin Racing team has all ballots to confirm the reverse title, the worst team on the grid. A penalty for drivers who will have to take these cars, and more penalty even for the sport, thanks to budget items as usual, enjoying teams that would be common in the middle of the peloton of GP2, say something nice.

Pat Symonds returns to hand Marussia Virgin Racing F1

 Pat Symonds returns to formula one in hand Marussia Virgin Racing. However, it does from the shadows and without showing his face. Well, perhaps not as very dark, although it is not officially back to the category Queen. Among other things, because you are not permitted.

Remember that Symonds was forbidden to return to Formula 1's official until 2013, so really not occupying a post within Marussia Virgin Racing. However, through his company, Neutrino Dynamics has partnered with the team of Sir Richard Branson. To be able to vote this post you must login or register here.

Therefore, his new role in the team they compete Timo Glock and Jerome D'Ambrosio is consultant. On paper, it is something very innocent, but there is no doubt that the team asked Council often since leaving party crash-gate, their experience is high.

Already commented on the FIA is subject when company Neutrino Dynamics became associated with Virgin Racing last year, had so for this occasion, do not have anything to say thereon. Even if it is returning to Formula 1 when it is assumed that it should not, it is following the punishment was imposed, so no there is nothing to say.

 

Marussia Virgin Racing does not want experiments in MVR-02

It is not the first time in the design of a Virgin Racing, now Marussia Virgin Racing, space has a key role. The year passed the gas tank was too small to finish a race without having to refuel in a season without repostajes. This year, the space which is lacking in VR-02 is the KERS. But in this case is not any error. The last single-seater Marussia Virgin Racing has been designed without the use of the KERS. Responsible for design, Nick Wirth it has summed up perfectly with their statements.

The fact is that the KERS is extremely expensive and heavy, and enhancements only three tenths. If we're at three seconds!

The aim of the British team with Russian flag will not be another that enhance their reliability. Last year his problems with the hydraulic system left them out almost race after race. This is another reason why Marussia Virgin Racing abandoned the option of placing the leaks lead to new Lotus Renault GP R31. After test simulators took a much less innovative solution but should ensure you that they will not have problems.
