Ferrari is marked the next three races as the deadline

They say that when things go wrong, they can always be worse. For his part in Ferrari have gone from the Grand Prize of Turkey in which things went very well, with an almost unexpected podium and ending the race to 10 seconds from the winner Vettel to a can not be worse. Spain saved the dishes in the standings but in truth the best Ferrari, Fernando Alonso, was dubbed by the winner, Sebastian Vettel. What was the pace of similar career?.
Ferrari is suffering much with the new Pirelli, more than anyone else, and if we add to this that the Ferrari 150 Italy is also away from their rivals the consequences they measured in minutes and not in seconds. Therefore, Stefano Domenicali has been clear and has admitted that the next three Grands Prix could define the future of Ferrari this season.

In June we'll see, when passing Canada, Monaco and Valencia, where we are and depending on where it is, we will decide if we can be fighting for the championship or what direction must take

Monaco, Canada, and Europe will be three large very particular Awards where aerodynamics plays a less important role and in which we will not see hard tyres. From there, with the Grand Prix of Great Britain in Silverstone, hard compounds return to scene. If at that time things are still not working. The aim should be the next season as it is no good to swim against the tide.

The JR Motorsports Nissan team wins both races of the FIA GT1 in Portimao

 The team JR Motorsports Nissan has been imposed in the two races of the FIA GT1 Championship which they have played on Saturday and Sunday at the Portuguese circuit in Portimao. In the first test on Saturday, the couple Westbrook/Dumbreck was erected as the winner. In the second Luhr/Krumm won the victory, when Westbrook/Dumbreck had to leave due to problems with the gearbox.
The grid in the first test was copada by the Nissan in the first two rows. These four positions them occupied two JR Motorsports Nissan cars and the two of Sumo Power Nissan. The podium virtually ended with the car in the same order, formed in its entirety by Nissan.

The main in that first race were Bernoldi/Zonta that they trompearon in the first corner when play them the Swiss Lamborghini Wendlinger/Kox, who had come out as a bullet. This incident commanded them at the end of the squad, although they could go back up a meritorious eighth position. They were finally imposed the JR Motorsports of Westbrook/Dumbreck, followed little four tenths by Luhr/Krumm (JR Motorsports) and something further Campbell-Walter/Brabham (Supreme Power).
The second race was going way of seeing another double for couples of JR Motorsports, but a problem in the gearbox of Westbrook/Dumbreck prevented from doing so. In the end, climbed the podium in this order Luhr/Krumm (JR Motorsports), Mucke/Turner (Young Driver) and Campbell-Walter/Brabham (Supreme Power). The Aston Martin Mucke/Turner inserted between both Nissan, making impossible that the Japanese brand again copar the highest echelons of the receiver.

With these results, the classification is left with Basseng/Winkelhock with 57 points, and Luhr/Krumm and Mucke/Turner tied to points with 37. Of builders is pressed the most, with Hexis AMR with 73 points, and All-Inkl and JR Motorsports with 72. Only one point separates the top three, there is nothing.
Until now we have three races and are three brands which have achieved the victory, Aston Martin, Lamborghini and Nissan.

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.

Lewis Hamilton says that the races will be slower

The degradation of the tyres, the crap that loose on the track, the stability of the monoplazas… this is a continuous coming and going in statements but I think that in the case of Lewis Hamilton all think the same, or almost. If English is that most notorious form destroys the rubber with his particular style of driving, do in race tires him how much last?
In the sports world considered that it shatter the tires. Or it seems to read this news. According to Hamilton, the degradation which is experienced is too much, in 8 or 9 laps the tyres are broken and to arrive at the rounds of 16 laps should significantly reduce the pace and be very, very fine. What I see, frankly, is that with the Pirelli will have to be better conductor (but in the sense of being thinner). And who are the finest pilots? Jenson Button, Mark Webber, Fernando Alonso… and some more, but I think that these are the main.
Cheer Lewis, you'll have to work hard, but I do not think that in half the races is lengthen too. Honestly, it may be slower but how much? I do not think that more than 5 or 10 minutes by race, a small percentage. Anyway, I do want to see if the rubber section marks differences in the style of leadership as well as other factors. It can give you a special salsa Championship.

Pirelli, in favour of "artificial" wet races in formula one

Recently, Bernie Ecclestone us entertained with statements such as yours, which stated that it would be good for formula one to install sprinklers in some circuits so that they mojaran the race. Pirelli has been in favour of these races in wet of artificial for formula one.
According to Ecclestone, this system of sprinklers would be much better than the new wings back for the 2011 season. According to him, it could warn pilots of that track dip with only about three laps before, and that would increase the thrill of racing. To be able to vote this post you must login or register here.

Leaving that party bad thing which I think is for a deliberate and artificial change in the State of the track, I think that the results removed even more suspicion than today. What would say Alonso and Hamilton fans if "his" pilot suffers by this rain in the final laps?
Nevertheless, the director of Pirelli Motorsport, Paul Hembery, referring to an entire race that was always wet, as a special feature. He compared his idea to what has been the route of Singapore, a night race. In the same way, a hypothetical Grand Prix in wet of artificial form could be created.
Although I admit that the idea doesn't call me too, I think having an entire career in wet artificially would best be implemented sprinklers to several circuits and make them "Skip" dubiously randomly. That I would consider it too change careers.

Glock: "We want to take points from the first races"

Timo Glock took the presentation of the new Virgin Racing car to say that the main objective of the Russian team is adding points since the beginning of the season.

28 Years German admits that the team can not close the gap with the ten best teams in a single season, but says that Virgin has yet to focus on taking points earlier in the year.

However, in spite of this enthusiasm, the German pilot recognises that this is what awaits, "a realistic step" and right after the work done by the team during the winter. To explain that you to this beginning of season does not expect to have technical problems suffered last year.

Glock said he is happy to be back with Virgin in this season, despite some difficult times last year.

"I only want to be part of it (Virgin)", he said.

"But it was clear that F1 is never reached and is among the top three, if that happens, then the rest is doing something wrong." In the end, we are a team and come out much stronger, and we should be better in the second year. ”

John Booth added that its main objective is to be in the Q2 total regularly in this 2011. "We want to be there as much as possible."
