Williams will be Renault engines starting with the 2012 season

It was already fact in face 2010 to 2011. Now it seems that this is serious. Williams will take after the 2012 season Renault engines. This English team, which pointed out that the contract with the French brand is, in principle, for 2012 and 2013, just before the come new engines according to renewed regulatory technique of formula one was announced.
Though Frank Williams explains that he is very happy to meet with the brand that was with them from 1989 until 1997, also takes advantage of to thank Cosworth, whom he describes as a reliable partner within and outside the track. He added that he would like to be able to return to work with them in the future, even in other areas.
However, Williams has it clear. The name itself does nothing, and although Williams-Renault sounds very good, reputation have to earn it (or get it back) on track, and that is what they plan to do. See, therefore, one pass from Williams to recover, after changes in internal structure; I am sure they will succeed. In fact, I hope so.
Williams will become the fourth team with Renault engines, along with Lotus Renault GP and Red Bull Racing Team Lotus. This implies, for Renault, very good publicity, but also a challenge. From the Regie, they acknowledge that you do them illusion revive the name Williams-Renault, because that is the most successful period of the mark in formula one.

The manager of Robert Kubica did not rule out his return before the end of the season

After the serious accident at the beginning of the month of February, the future of Robert Kubica was mortgaged to the good do doctors and subsequent rehabilitation. All the information reaching us, indicate that the Polish pilot being met deadlines and that their future in formula one will continue in 2012.
The possibility that Robert Kubica is climbed to a single-seat, as part of its recovery, in 2011 was parked and did so knowing Gerard Lopez, owner of the current Lotus Renault Grand Prix. But it seems from their environment have other plans. Kubica's manager, Daniel Morelli, first noted that rehabilitation is on the track and now is even more optimistic because place in the last event of the season, the Grand Prize of Brazil, as the date for the possible re-debut of Robert Kubica. That Yes, won't be until the pilot is in full power and can prove likewise the Simulator unless a decision is taken. Anyway, if this were not to occur in Lotus Renault GP they have clear that Kubica has a seat for 2012 on one of their cars.

Volkswagen will test different pilots during this season

Despite what many thought Volkswagen has no such clear pilots to use during this long offseason preceding its entry into the world of rally by 2013. That is why the German mara will test several pilots during the five rallies this season that will be involved with three Skoda Fabia S2000.
Obviously a name already know, that of Nasser Al - Attiyah that pilotara already one of the cars in the next Rally of Finland. However, many noted that Juho Hanninen was probably another safe names for those seats. Something that feels that it is away from the reality that are shuffled several names to drive a Skoda during these tests.
One of them rumored that German Hermann Gassner Jr. besides having the advantage of his nationality and his youth, featuring the full support and sponsorship from Red Bull. Obviously the energy drinks brand will be a candy very desired by Volkswagen, which has already received support in the latest editions of the Dakar.

The teams don't want to end the season in December

Last week leaked the proposal of FIA alter the formula one schedule to accommodate the Grand Prize of Bahrain. The proposed changes passed because the Grand Prize of India will leave his post to Bahrain and the new appointment was in charge of closing the season the weekend of December 4.
The teams have not taken to complain about the proposal, with which they are not all agree. The head of Mercedes GP, Ross Brawn has sought to defend their employees that stretch the calendar could affect them after working tirelessly from January. For its part, his counterpart in Lotus Renault GP, Eric Boullier, has also defended his team although it has added another important point which would be affected by this hypothetical change. Stretch the season would have to reorganize its development plan for the 2012 season.

Robert Kubica will not return to formula one this season

A few weeks ago, after 80 days of hospitalization due to the accident in the rally Ronde di Androa, Robert Kubica was the medical discharge and began the most arduous part of the process that has to take him back to formula one: the rehabilitation of his ailing right hand. The objective of the Polish pilot was none other than return before the end of the season. It seems that it won't.
During the past Grand Prize of Spain, the pattern of Lotus Renault Grand Prix, Gerard Lopez claimed that Robert Kubica will not return to formula one in 2011, although did not rule out that it might play some free training day on Friday. In this way, we already know that Nick Heidfeld will keep the wheel throughout the season and that Robert Kubica will focus on to be the driver who has shown us again. We will only be further opining on what had been done Kubica to Renault F31.

Jean Todt supports the test limited during the season

In my view the removal of the test during the season is one of the measures of cost savings more useless that these last years in formula one has been established. Almost two years ago, when it established the rule prohibiting them, already so I argued long and tendidamente. It was an idea which did not convince me anything.
It seems that Jean Todt has an opinion similar to mine. The President of the FIA considers that the measure has been a failure and now wants to see a series of test limited during the season. He proposed three series of two-day test. This idea will be discussed at the next meeting of the formula one Commission, to be held on 23 June in Valencia. He expected to be ratified and implemented in 2012.
The FIA will ask the teams to support the French proposal to make the test during the season to return to the calendar in 2012. If the teams are not in agreement, Todt will implement the standard in 2013.
The words of the President of the FIA in an interview with the media in Turkey were the following:

For me is stupid that there is no test during the season. In the past was a madness that had unlimited test during the year, but moving from unlimited to completely prohibited is not appropriate. Does not allow the young pilots to try, not offered the opportunity to get experience in formula one. I will do everything possible to change this situation for the future.

Asked when he thought that they could return the season test replied:

I am proposing will allow a few days of test during the season as soon as possible. If we have sufficient support will be in 2012. We will introduce the idea in the next Commission of formula one, which will be on Thursday of the career of Valencia, and if not, we can implement the standard in 2013 on our own.

If he prevails logic is to be hoped that it will have the support of the teams. Test in the long term ban implies higher costs, just the opposite that pursued the rule. It is what you have to restrict the possibility of testing the new components to the great prizes and limitadisimos test on line.

The 2011 of the GP2 season begins this weekend at Turkey

The 2011 of the GP2 season begins this weekend in Turkey, at Istanbul Park, and many pilots who can fight for the title. Among the ART and DAMS, the Jules Bianchi, Romain Grosjean and Esteban Gutierrez, are the Spanish teams, Racing Engineering and Barwa Addax, and Dani Clos, that runs with the first of the two. In addition, this year, we have the debut of two new teams in the category, Carlin and Team AirAsia.
Pastor Maldonado, the defending champion of the GP2, given your particular bet, and this is nothing more and nothing less than Jules Bianchi. According to the Venezuelan ART pilot is who has more chances to win. Even more than the theoretical favorite, Romain Grosjean, who has already won the GP2 Asia Series were contested at the beginning of this year.
In any case, we will begin to emerge from doubts on Saturday and Sunday, or even today, with qualifying training. Anyway, interesting things to mention as any, and for example in Super Nova, there is no second official pilot. We are sure that they will have someone to drive that car, but we still do not know, in the absence of a single day.
The same week also begins the GP3, this year without the presence of Spanish pilots. Among the Favorites, we have to Valtteri Bottas, Alexander Sims or Andrea Caldarelli, as well as many more. The GP3 is, by nature, a category of surprises, so there is little to say until we see what happens after the first weekend. We will be waiting with desire.

David Coulthard believes that the season will be very disputed

Two victories at Australia and Malaysia and the second place in China for Sebastian Vettel have meant that alarms are lit between amateurs and professionals of formula one. Will we see this season an overwhelming dominance of Vettel and RedBull? O on the other hand see reactions of weight on the grid to make sure a season full of emotions until the final Grand Prix? David Coulthard believes that the best is yet to come and that the fight in the head will be very close.
There is no doubt that season is perfect, but according to Coulthard victory in China Lewis Hamilton is the most memorable of recent times (and not without reason). The developments that are prepared for the Grand Prize of Turkey are falling and if all goes well, we will see yet more equality between RedBull and McLaren, as well as wait for improvements to Ferrari or Mercedes GP (with more luck).

It is not a trip alone. No one wins all the Grands Prix in one year

And luckily, because boredom may be supine. We all remember the dominance of Michael Schumacher in the golden age of Ferrari, or the overwhelming dominance of the McLaren-Honda at the time of Prost and Senna, just like the next dominadora time with the Williams and the active suspension (1992 and 1993 with Nigel Mansell and Alain Prost respectively). It was too much for the fans, too domain and Championships that seemed to be divided between the first two cars (da like that would be Ferrari, McLaren or Williams) and the rest of the platoon.
The impression is that this year may not be as much competition as in 2010, but must not rule out anything or anyone because the year is very long. Bad beginnings have them either, but you have to react. And as the own Coulthard says:

Let us not underestimate anyone, until Ferrari has not had a good start to season

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.

Miki Monrás begins the season of F2 with victory

It seems to me that this season, we have followed closely the F2. After the title of Andy Soucek in 2009, in 2010 we had representatives but in 2011, the absence has become in three representatives who will give much war and that can even aspire to the title. This weekend, at Silverstone was held the first event of the season and Miki Monras has proved to be one of the Favorites.
At Silverstone, Monras has achieved a third place in the first race, and the pole and victory in the second. Only an experienced Mirko Bortolotti, victory and second place, has snatched the provisional lead in the general. For its part, Ramon Pineiro had two mixed races. In the first he had a magnificent fifth place in the first race but a spin at the start of the second race when he attacked Bortolotti just with their options to achieve his first podium finish in the Championship.
You were worse things to the third Spanish in the Championship, Jose Luis Abadin. In his debut in the F2, the orensano finished sixteenth and eighteenth position in the first and second career, respectively. The next meeting of the Championship will be in the French circuit of Magny-Cours.

Sergio Perez wants to be ready for Ferrari when he finished the season

Sergio Perez has acknowledged that you would like to be ready for the ability to race for Ferrari when he finishes this season, and is described as a "dream", the aim of competing with the Italian brand. All this it collected the BBC, following the career of Malaysia.
Perez impressed the world of formula 1 in his first race in Melbourne, where a technical irregularity deprived him of carrying a few points earned with effort. Those who had seen him run before already knew of his talent, but by no means the minor was surprise.
Despite this, in Malaysia became it worse and was forced to leave. The case is that, as a pilot of the program of young pilots of Ferrari, "Czech" was asked if he would like to run in Ferrari. A typical question which brought with it a logical answer, although it can be further interpreted.
In recent weeks, several Italian sources have assured that Sergio Perez would have already signed a contract with Ferrari to run in 2012, replacing Felipe Massa. This would not become public until the Grand Prize of Italy, to not destabilize the Brazilian.
Gossip of the paddock, that there is no doubt, but it is often said that "when the River sounds, water leads". For the moment, Sergio has already made a declaration of intentions, and if his driving backs its words, there is no doubt that will end in red.

Miguel Fuster begins the season winning in La Vila Joiosa

Fifth row for Miguel Fuster in his field. The alicantinian has dominated from start to finish the trial of the rally of la Vila Joiosa and has imposed his Porsche to the champion of the SWRC in the 2010 season, Xevi Pons. The debut of Sergio Vallejo at the controls of his new Lotus demand, which continues to find therein the expected yield is also notable.
The victory became practically a monologue, with victory in the first four sections of Fuster ahead of Pons, who dragged a problem in his Ford Fiesta S2000 clutch, and Victor Senra debuted at the controls of the Peugeot 306 Kit Car. Since then the latter made over a nostalgic recall better times of the Championship.
Fourth placed Jonathan Perez at the controls of his 207 S2000, while Vallejo still fought with the wheel of his Lotus to bring it as quickly as possible. The lack of the development of the suspensions, and some electric and gasoline pump problems delayed you, ultimately leading him to have to leave in the final stage of the rally.

The sections of the afternoon did not create him nor any problem to pilot Porsche that finally marked all the scratch test, and with more than a minute of advantage on the second, Xevi Pons. Third was finally left Jonathan Perez exploited a stinging of Senra to snatch the last box of the podium. Vinyes as usual he won between the two driving wheels, Mantecon took the Cup EVO, while Pazo and Diego Marcos took the triumphs in the Suzuki Cup and Renault respectively.

2011 Formula one season: who will be the major disappointment of the season?

We continue with the motorpasion f1 polls to know your opinion about the world of formula 1 which has just started. Yes, it is early to make any decision on the future and hypothetical results, but although formula one try to be rational, in the end the emotional beats and just taking our opinion about those who hope to see above and on those who believe that they will fail in the attempt. Today we focus on the second group.
The line that separates failure from success can be very fine. A win or a podium, justify a season for an average team such as Williams or Force India. Anything other than fighting for the title, and be with him, is a failure for McLaren, Ferrari or McLaren. A simple point, would be a major success for Team Lotus, Hispania Racing F1 Team or Marussia Virgin Racing.
There are pilots who are eager to conquer the world and end up eating alone, away from the great circus. 2011 may be a season final to Michael Schumacher or Vitaly Petrov, to mention two in particular. The first has nothing to prove, but on his return promised that he would be at least fighting above. We have not seen anything similar.
Meanwhile Petrov won the confidence of Eric Boullier while last season was more than he expected. The Russian has responded with a first podium in the first race of the year. And it is not fruit of a crazy race as they are usually at Albert Park. Petrov scored the sixth position in the ratings, a position which allowed him to aim for the podium. Follow this way, it dissipated any doubt.
