The FIA willing to allow the diffuser blown during braking if there is unanimity among the teams

The FIA has given a new twist to the functioning of the blown during braking diffusers. The regulator of the formula one is willing to allow it if the teams agree on that. Agree they want to say that there is unanimity among them. Something which, a priori, seems quite apparently complicated seen.
In this way there is no limitation, 10% or 20% or 50%, would have total freedom to use it. This morning Christian Horner and Adrian Newey were nothing happy once they disregard his request to allow the engine to expel 50% retention. This came motivated by special permission that is the given Mercedes engines so that they can continue pumping gasoline at half of its cylinders with retention.
Red Bull was opposed to this measure because, they argue that the Mercedes get advantage of this fact, to have to somehow remove gases generated in these cylinders which are still in operation, four in total. In yesterday's press conference, Martin Whitmarsh stated that benefits as a result were limited. Christian Horner what matters is that it has its advantages, that is what counts. That is why they protested the decision this morning.
The official statement which can be read on the website of the FIA says:

If the teams so decide unanimously, the FIA is ready to adopt this agreement until the end of the current season.

With the fuss that has been formed, much it will cost a decision unanimous thereon. The twelve teams in formula one would have to row in the same direction. I fear that things look ugly to those who want to lift the ban. As any castling nothing that scratching.

Ferrari complains about the danger of the small teams

This time there has been no names with in the past. After the incident between Felipe Massa and Narain Karthikeyan during the past Grand Prize of Canada, Ferrari has complained about the small teams due to his lack of speed and because of the inexperience of some of its pilots, something they understand that it is detrimental to them. And it is not the first time the Italian team do. Its President, Luca Cordero di Montezemolo is an expert in launch messages to the new teams, which were ruined with his idea of three cars by racing team, the wet dream of the Italian.
In the specific case of Massa and Karthikeyan, the Brazilian has stated to the press by his country to Hispania Racing F1 Team driver was hindered in its advancement, accelerating in the area dry when Ferrari came to exceed it by the wet area. The result of this maneuver ended up with the spoiler of the Ferrari 150 ? Italy Massa completely shattered although he was lucky not to have to abandon the race.

Grand Prix of Canada F1 2011: Hispania Racing F1 Team, the best of the three new teams

After the formal training of yesterday, things already painted well, but no one would have ever thought that Hispania Racing F1 Team could place their two cars ahead of the Lotus and the Virgin, in career. But this has been, both Vitantonio Liuzzi and Narain Karthikeyan have become an excellent career which has seen them come in thirteenth and fourteenth position.
In the end, the result has changed, then Narain Karthikeyan has received a drive through applied after the race, which has made him lose three positions, by having jumped a curve at a point in the race. But the speed is there. Of course, the race today was not the most normal, and the Gilles Villeneuve circuit is very special, of if same, but the result is excellent.
In fact, this result surpasses the best result obtained by the team last year in a couple of chaotic races where not many cars finished and becomes the best result in the history of the team. Today is different, because both cars have crossed the finish line ahead of its rivals, which shows us that, at least, have circuits where it can be competitive.
Now it miss to see if Hispania can confirm this improvement in the next races, qualifying in front of the Virgin, and fought with them in the races. Although, why not fight with the Lotus, also? In the end, today has been fight and win. Little I have, rather than congratulate the entire Hispania, highly competitive team throughout the weekend.

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.

Pirelli wants that the teams should have more tyres to water games

After the significant rainfall in the early hours of the day today in the Grand Prize of Turkey teams have been found in a difficult situation. With an eye on the sky, if the rain persisted the teams would have problems in management of wheel already that each driver has only three sets of tyres for extreme rainfall (and four sets of intermediate tyres) to use for all the Grand Prize.
With a small amount of games, available tires and plenty of water equipment options pass to stay in the box during the session of free practice to have new games during the race or try and pray for no rain on Sunday.
Why the director of the program of competition of Pirelli, Paul Hembery, has shown its concern faced with this situation and would like to discuss with the teams the possibility of varying the distribution of the tyres during the Grands Prix. At least vary the amount of tyres of rain that have teams.

An extra set of tyres for the teams in the Grand Prize of Australia

The absence of the last test of the season in the Sakhir circuit left Pirelli without the opportunity to test their tires in extremes of temperatures. A problem both for the Italian manufacturer and for the teams that could reach some Grands Prix without too much information on how they will behave gums.
For this reason, the FIA adopted earlier this month a new rule that it allowed Pirelli to deliver a set of tyres extra to each team in some great prizes. This will happen in the first Grand Prix of the year in Australia. Eleven games in each Grand Prize are given to the teams added one extra, that Albert park is the compound "Prime", the hard. In this way Pirelli, will have the opportunity to test the development of new compounds.
That Yes, the extra set of tyres can only be used during the two sessions on Friday. When completion of the free, practice the game must be handed over to the FIA. It will not be the only one that the teams must also submit a game from the main compound and the option.

David Coulthard and Mark Webber have subtracted importance to suggestions that the cancellation of Bahrain could play a decisive role for the weakest of the F1 teams today.

With the new McLaren MP4-26 not having the potential provided by the team of Woking, nowadays in terms of speed or reliability, Lewis Hamilton said he was happy of the Championship delay its onset until Australia, "gives us more time to prepare", said the British.

"We need to update and don't have much time until the start of the season," he said.

Brundle, former McLaren driver and BBC commentator agreed: "This (overtime) will help some teams who were struggling to get faster and more reliable cars".

"Is going to play into their hands," he told the BBC.

However, Mark Webber, with possibly the best car on the grid, Red Bull kb7 replied: "I do not think that extra two weeks make a big difference".

"It is the same for all." We always are ready to run in two weeks", said the Australian.

"Freight transport will still have to leave very early to Melbourne", he added Webber.

Former teammate of Red Bull, David Coulthard has a similar view.

"This is an area in which I do not necessarily agree with Martin," wrote the Scot, who will share the BBC comments box with Brundle in 2011, in his latest column Telegraph.

"The response I'm allegedly getting Ferrari and Red Bull are in the lead, implicitly, what is suggested is that could help Mercedes and McLaren".

"Yes, McLaren will have an extra two weeks time factory, but also does Ferrari." "And with a single test will not be any time the track more to put to the test piece or work reliability," Coulthard insisted.

The official line is teams are pending that Bernie Ecclestone and the FIA – who had a strange silence in this regard - decide.

Ecclestone told BBC radio that the final decision of the race, probably will be on Tuesday, curiously, explaining that it will be him Prince Bahrain Heredero decide.

The Circuit de Catalunya is the alternative of teams for the final pre-season test

Day, teams will meet under the foci of the FOTA. Beyond the proposed themes will be a bonus point which should put much attention. It is the FOTA decides circuits is to try during the preseason and in due course, it was she who decided that it was a good idea to test in Bahrain a week before the world of formula 1 played there same his first race of the year. It was a good idea in order to evaluate all the work done during this period.

But now to the dispute of the Bahrain Grand Prix is a tremendous mystery. Therefore the teams could be an important step. Packing and sending materials and equipment to middle, the formula one teams would prefer to return to test at the Circuit de Catalunya and thus give an extra week to all calm in the Kingdom of the two seas. The decision is to take themselves which in this case nor FOM (Bernie Ecclestone), or FIA have vote. Although it is possible that if have a voice.
