It seems that the crisis is wreaking havoc in the formula 1 teams, accustomed to having figures disparate in their budgets. One of the first symptoms was the disappearance of the mega-presentations we were accustomed to (except in specific cases of Ferrari and McLaren) and now it appears that "they scratched" of where necessary to reduce costs.

The vanguard reported this offseason, the formula one teams have tried will take advantage of each of the tests are held in Spain. Looking at preseason tests are each a kind of Grand Prix 0 with much public payment, teams have requested circuits part of revenue collection and reduction in track rental prices.

And to strength with its position, represented in the FOTA teams put on the table some good cards to justify their request. The Algarve circuit in Portimao offered free track and 20,000 euros per team while plotting Sakhir in Bahrain paid posting, taking into account the first Grand Prix of the season is held there, or at least that Interestingly the intention.

Everyone present in the offseason Spanish circuits has negotiated conditions. The circuit of Jerez has lowered the price of the rental of the track in the four days of test, something that also made the Circuit of the Comunitat Valenciana Ricardo Tormo in Cheste, which even included 30 per cent of the collection. The Circuit de Catalunya for his part has not reduced rent but if given a percentage of revenues at the box office of the public.

It may seem like much money, but we ourselves can do calculations. 25,000 spectators present at the Circuit de Catalunya during the four days. Price of tickets between 5 and 10 euros (say that half of the public with a type and the other half with another), if we remove the rental of 4 days, about 40,000 euros per day, each team would win less than 1,000 euros, a genuine misera for teams with a budget half close to EUR 100 million.

Víctor García leaves go Indy. Another Spanish that makes Americas

 If last year were Adrian Campos Jr. and Carmen Jorda two young pilots who crossed the pond to compete in the USA, in 2011 to both Valencian drivers they join another compatriot. Victor Garcia has confirmed that it will participate in the Indy Lights with Team Moore Racing, the same team that fields Jr participated last season. Madrid driver coindira with an old acquaintance, Colombian Gustavo Yacaman who already shared computer, Tec Auto in the Spanish F3 in 2008.

In this way, Victor Garcia becomes one of the Spanish pilots with more experience in cars. Spanish F3, British F3, F3 Euroseries, Formula 3.5 World Series by Renault Championship and now the Indy Lights. As she could not otherwise, and so has stated it, on the horizon of Garcia are the IndyCar Series and of course the 500 miles from Indianapolis.

It is a new challenge. Formula one is always the objective, but now the situation for young drivers is complicated because it needs lots of money on sponsorship. My goal is to know circuits in 2011 and skip next to the IndyCar Series year. It makes me very excited to participate in the Indianapolis 500
