Hispania Racing F1 Team Debuts nose and agreement with Mercedes GP at Sepang


In the absence of an official photo, toca put photo of the nose which we could see the Circuit de Catalunya. But hey, the news is that Hispania Racing F1 Team debuts during the Grand Prize of Malaysia nose. It's a nose high in the style of Mercedes GP and that should have been used a fortnight ago in Australia. But the new nose did not exceed the crash-test of the FIA and they had to wait.
Failing to see if finally mounted it during the Grand Prize and if all of the front wing will have more changes, this should mean an important step in the benefits of the single-seater. In the design of the f, work of Geoff Willis and Paul White, high nose plays an essential to channeling the air toward the rear diffuser and the hulks of cooling. Is it sufficient that Vitantonio Liuzzi and Narain Karthikeyan can qualify?.
The second story refers to a new partnership agreement, following the signing with Williams F1. Hispania Racing F1 Team may use one of the Mercedes GP wind tunnels to work in the aerodynamic development of the f. A single-seat which is designed entirely using CFD, as it has done Marussia Virgin Racing in his two seasons in formula one.

Paul Hembery predicts four stops on average in Sepang

The first event of the calendar was surprised friends and strangers as regards the use of tyres. No degradation was so catastrophic as expected, and even a brave Sergio Perez dared to perform a single stop in the entire race. A strategy, the Mexican, unthinkable in pre-season after the little stamina that had shown the Pirelli tires. In the end the wear of the compounds was not so exaggerated.
In Albert Park majority strategy that followed the teams were the two stops, some reverted by three, and no one dared to change four times of tyres. In Sepang things could change, if we stick to the predictions of Paul Hembery, Pirelli Motorsport director. For him it would be normal make four stops on the Malay race.
According to Hembery, the weather could affect strategies:
The nature of the Sepang circuit and more than fifty degrees Celsius of temperature of the track will, probably, the more aggressive for our tire combination. Without a doubt, the rain could change the situation. But it is likely that, under normal circumstances, the Grand Prize of Malaysia see an average of four stops by pilot.
In Malaysia we must not rule out the presence of the rain. What are sites with such changing tropical climates; You can spend a splendid Sun to a storm of hangovers. To it it is approaching the next weekend we will be leaving doubts.
