Barrichello gets Massa into hot water

 

A controversy has erupted in Brazil and Germany, as the health of the relationship between Felipe Massa and his Ferrari mentor Michael Schumacher is called into doubt.

 

According to the Brazilian newspaper Lance, Schumacher's former Ferrari team-mate Rubens Barrichello - after a few too many caipirinhas - leapt onto a stage at the Sao Paulo nightclub 'Disco' last Sunday night and began singing.

 

Reportedly, the song consisted of the puerile claim that Schumacher is 'viado' - a derogatory term meaning gay in Brazilian Portuguese.

 

Lance reports that Massa, an open admirer of the seven time world champion and recipient of the Ferrari advisor's guidance, initially disapproved but ultimately joined in the chorus when Barrichello threw his arm around the 2008 championship runner-up.

 

"That Rubens does something like this does not surprise me," Schumacher's long-time manager Willi Weber told Bild newspaper.

 

"But as for Felipe, I am surprised, because the two have a really good understanding with each other and are close friends."

 

A Ferrari spokesman, Schumacher's spokeswoman Sabine Kehm, and Schumacher himself declined to comment.

FORCE INDIA I McLAREN-MERCEDES SKLOPILI PARTNERSTVO

 

Force India F1 tim danas je potvrdio sklopljeno petogodišnje partnerstvo s McLarenom i Mercerdesom.

 

Indijska će momčad od iduće godine u svoje bolide ugrađivati McLarenov mjenjač i hidraulički sustav, te Mercedesov motor i KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) sustav. Usto, imat će pristup McLarenovoj mreži dobavljača raznih dijelova.

 

"Apsolutno smo oduševljeni što možemo objaviti tehničko partnerstvo s McLaren Applied Technologiesom i Mercedes-Benz HighPerformanceEnginesom, te objaviti naš plan o proširenju proizvodnje kompozitnih materijala i dizajnerskog odjela unutar našeg postrojenja u Silverstoneu," izjavio je upravitelj Force Indije, Vijay Mallyja. "McLaren i Mercedes-Benz su dva najpopularnija imena u povijesti motosporta, koja su ostvarila sjajan uspjeh u Grand Prix utrkivanju tijekom mnogo godina, ali i nedavnu pobjedu u vjerojatno najdramatičnijem prvenstvu kojega je Formula 1 ikada vidjela.

 

Force India Formula 1 tim postoji tek godinu dana i našu je prvu sezonu, neizbježno, sačinjavalo razdoblje učenja. Ali, već smo na početku rekli da smo ozbiljni i da nismo ovdje kako bi izmišljali brojke.

 

Objava našeg novog tehničkog partnerstva, kombiniranog s novim razvojima i resursima jasno podcrtava da ozbiljno mislimo ono što smo rekli. Volio bih se osobno zahvaliti Bernieju Ecclestoneu i predsjedniku FIA-e, Maxu Mosleyu, na ponuđenoj pomoći i podršci kroz nastajanje ovog sporazuma," dodao je Mallyja.

Webber has surgery on broken leg

 

 

Mark WebberMark Webber has undergone surgery on a broken right leg after being involved in a road accident during his charity event in Tasmania earlier today.

 

The Red Bull driver was taking part in one of the cycling elements of the Mark Webber Pure Tasmania Challenge when he collided head-on with a car near Port Arthur just after midday local time.

 

He was airlifted to hospital, with initial reports suggesting he had sustained multiple fractures, but it now appears that the broken right leg is his only serious injury.

 

Event director Geoff Donohue said that the operation was a success and hoped that Webber's recovery would be swift.

 

"The surgery is complete, a pin inserted and the recovery begins," Donohue was quoted as saying by the BBC.

 

"Mark's in good spirits. The broken leg is the injury, and beyond that, he's in really good shape.

 

"He has a little bit of a graze on his left forearm, but he has had full scans and everything else is clear.

 

"He'll be in hospital for at least three days, for sure under a week. I was speaking to him before the operation, and he was already thinking about his rehabilitation.

 

"I suspect that as soon as Mark is able to fly, they will be keen to get him back to Europe.

 

"They will have people working out his rehab programme now with a view to getting him up and going as soon as possible."

 

Webber's annual charity event covers 250 kilometres on mountain bikes, kayaks and via trekking over five days in Tasmania.

jedan od meni najdražih vozača i želim mu što brži oporavak i povratak u bolid:yes::yes:

Pa ipak, sporazum koji su u Ferrariju postigli, možda čak i potpisali, s Alonsom uključuje pakt da dolazak Španjolca ovisi o budućoj formi Räikkönena. Ukoliko bi se ćudljivi Finac vratio pobjedničkim navikama, možda bi mu Talijani ipak odlučili ponuditi produžetak ugovora.

 

najžešći dio :D ono možeš doć ak raikkonen nastavi vozit pijan :rofl:

 

alonso sa smiješekom prihvaća i već drugi dan šalje Raikkonenu 'božićni poklon' ; pun kamion vodke, whiskeya, vina, pive is vega drugog kaj ima bar 5% alkohola...

Evo sad ce i McLaren osvojiti konstruktorski :D

 

http://en.f1-live.com/f1/en/headlines/news/detail/081217160205.shtml

 

Global PC manufacturer Lenovo and the McLaren Mercedes team have announced a partnership ahead of the 2009 Formula 1 season. Lenovo notebook and desktop PCs will provide the team's computing solutions, both at the race track and at its headquarters.

 

The announcement confirms the cessation of Lenovo's previous sponsorship with the Williams team.

 

Engineers and technology specialists from the Chinese manufacturer have already begun to specify the mobile wireless computing technology required by McLaren Mercedes, as well as desktop computing needs for the pit garage and pit wall battlestations.

 

"Both Vodafone McLaren Mercedes and Lenovo are committed to the competitive advantages from exceptional engineering," said Martin Whitmarsh, the team's CEO Formula One. "We are looking forward to the significant technology contribution that Lenovo will provide through its notebooks and desktop computer solutions."

 

"Vodafone McLaren Mercedes performs at the highest level in Formula 1 and integrates PC technology into every aspect of its car design, development and racing -- as well as its business operations," said Deepak Advani, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for Lenovo.

"Lenovo has an excellent heritage of computing performance and reliability in complex, high-profile, global events -- such as the Olympic Games -- and we look forward to making a significant contribution to the team."

 

Formula 1 teams have long been pioneering users of high-speed computer technology, using trackside PCs to perform a wide variety of tasks ranging from starting the cars through to the complex analysis of thousands of data points transmitted from the cars to the pits during the races.

 

McLaren Mercedes goes a step further, however, supplying statisticians and engineers back in the UK with real-time race data from anywhere in the world. Such a complex operation provides an excellent platform for showcasing personal computing technologies as the Lenovo corporation aims at strengthening its position in the global marketplace.

New McLaren title-challenger revealed

 

52031_2.jpg

 

McLaren has launched the car Lewis Hamilton will defend his world championship title with during the 2009 season.

 

The all-new MP4-24 was unveiled to the gathered worldwide media at the team’s Technology Centre in Woking on Friday morning, the third car for the new season to break cover so far.

 

Like both Ferrari and Toyota’s interpretation of the new rules, the MP4-23 incorpates the new-style front and rear wings, clean bodywork surfaces and slick tyres while it continues the trend for tight sculpting around the rear of the car.

 

McLaren test driver Pedro de la Rosa will shake down the car for the first time at the Algarve Motor Park in Portugal on Saturday ahead of a first full test at the new venue next week.

 

Speaking as he and team-mate Heikki Kovalainen pulled the wraps off the MP4-24, world champion Hamilton said: "It is actually the first time I have seen car and think it looks beautiful.

 

"The team always manages to put together a stunning car."

 

Hamilton, who turned 24 earlier this month, starts his third F1 season looking to maintain the unparalleled success he has enjoyed during his first two years.

 

After missing out on the title by a single point in his rookie 2007 season, the Briton became the sport’s youngest champion last year by the skin of his teeth following a nail-biting finale in Brazil.

 

Hamilton insists his title success will not mean he changes his attacking approach to driving in 2009 and instead said McLaren was aiming to cut out both individual and team errors to give it the best chance of claiming its first double drivers' and constructors' success for 11 years.

 

"I don’t think it particularly changes too much," Lewis said of racing as world champion.

 

"Going into this third season I've had to rest my targets back to where I started in 2007.

 

"We want to win both titles and obviously we can improve on the mistakes we made last year, both individually and as a team

 

"We want to win, that’s what we are here for and we’re do the best job we can."

 

The Briton is again joined in the team’s line-up by Kovalainen, who starts his second season at McLaren aiming on improve on the form which saw him score just three podium finishes in 2008.

 

Kovalainen believes he is in a better position to enjoy a stronger year two on the back of his experiences last campaign and a productive winter schedule.

 

"Overall I learnt a lot last year, there are lot of positives which can take into this year," he said.

 

"As soon as year was finished I started to work towards this season to prepare better.

 

"I know everybody here now it and it is a much more stable place to start the season

 

"I am looking forward to the season and hopefully we can have better year and myself as well."

 

Team stalwarts de la Rosa and Gary Paffett remain as McLaren's test drivers for another year.

Dennis to step down as team principal

 

 

McLaren boss Ron Dennis will step down from his role of team principal before the start of the 2009 season, the Briton announced on Friday.

 

The 61-year-old, however, made it clear that he is not retiring, but will instead focus on other commitments related to the McLaren Group.

 

Dennis said he would still attend some races, but intends to pass on his team principal responsibilities to Martin Whitmarsh as of March 1 this year.

 

"First thing I am going to do is work harder, that is the first target," said Dennis during the launch of the new McLaren.

 

"I intend to raise my own game because I think everybody in our organisation at every level realises this is a tough period in which we are going to work and of course we are a very diverse organisation now.

 

"We have a clear intention for our production car programme which is really a challenge. Any product we bring to the market will certainly fall the other side of this financial period.

 

"I stress nothing to get too excited about but it is absolutely time for Martin to take over as team principal. As from March 1 he will adopt that responsibility. I will still go to races, not all of them, because I am passionate.

 

"I intend to work harder and will take on greater responsibility in the group. I will be full executive chairman. It is time and I have to say it is absolutely 100 percent my decision. It is what I want to do, but I do intend to work much harder.

 

"Don't see it as some sort of retirement, I want to work harder in other areas and having to plan those tasks around the GP calendar is disruptive to the process. It is a job that Martin will embrace and enjoy.

 

"It is a job over the years we have shared anyway, but it will be his decision to influence things at a grand prix circuit."

Ferrari's newly launched F60 challenger is 'illegal' according to Auto Motor und Sport.

 

The car, revealed last week at the Mugello circuit in Italy, features rear exhaust outlets that reportedly contravene the sweeping new technical regulations.

 

The magazine said some of the Italian team's rivals have noted that because of the new rules cracking down on bodywork appendages like aerodynamic winglets, exposing the exhausts in the way the F60 is designed is not allowed.

 

A glance at the other new cars revealed so far - the Renault, Williams, McLaren and Toyota - shows that their exhausts have all been mounted in-board.

 

Auto Motor und Sport said it should not be too much of a problem for Ferrari to redesign the exhaust housing, but it may help to explain the team's retreat from the Portimao group test this week to Mugello.

 

 

Officially, Ferrari decamped to Mugello because of adverse weather forecasts for this week, but the magazine said the F60 also showed a significant problem with its front wing when tested last week.

 

It is suggested that, in light of these challenges, Ferrari concluded that it should be conducting the car's first major test as close as possible to its Maranello base.

SVJETSKA automobilistička federacija (FIA) sa zasjedanja u Parizu izašla je s revolucionarnom odlukom: novi svjetski prvak već će u dolazećoj sezoni biti vozač s najvećim brojem pobjeda.

 

To znači da se napušta dosadašnji sustav bodovanja, iako samo kad su u pitanju kandidati za naslov svjetskog prvaka. Umjesto skupljenih bodova o novom će prvaku odlučivati broj pobjeda u sezoni. Obzirom da natjecanje ove sezone broji 17 utrka, pobjednik bi svakako postao vozač koji bi skupio devet pobjeda, makar u prvih devet utrka.

 

FIA, jasno, računa da se takva dominacija ne može dogoditi, pa je ideja Bernieja Ecclestonea još iz prošle godine napokon sprovedena u djelo. Njezin bi forte trebao biti veća količina rizika i atrakcije tijekom utrka; dosad su vozači često kalkulirali ciljajući mjesta koja će im samo donijeti zadovoljavajući broj bodova.

 

U primjeru iz prošle sezone ispada da Svjetski prvak ne bi postao McLarenov Lewis Hamilton, već Ferrarijev Felipe Massa. Brazilac je imao pobjedu više (6-5), a Britanac bod više (98-97) u srazu dvaju rivala. Po novoustrojenom modelu bodovanja kroz povijest Svjetskih prvenstava u Formuli 1 bez titula bi ostalo čak 13 prvaka.

 

Sve ostalo ostaje po starome: dospiju li kandidati za prvaka do istog broja pobjeda na kraju sezone, odlučivat će njihova bodovna zaliha, baš kao će odlučivati o poretku ostalih vozača. Raspodjela bodova također ostaje kao i dosad.

 

Nova sezona s novim pravilom počinje za desetak dana, 29. ožujka u Melbourneu. Vozi se za Veliku nagradu Australije.

Ko šta u NBA-u ja moram trpit retardirane izmjene pravila u cilju da se podilazi glupim navijačima, očito je i u F1 u cilju otupljivanje sporta.

 

Prejadno.

 

Dakle vozač koji bi recimo svaku trku došo 2., šta je PODVIG u tako nepredvidljivom sportu ko F1, može svoj trud objesit mačku o rep.

 

Do jaja.

Kak mozes objesit o rep? Pa i dalje ostaju bodovi, ovo je samo za prvaka pravilo. Znaci ostaje ti na kraju sezone recimo 2 mjesto u ukupnom poretku. Sto nije titula svjetskog prvaka, ali je, kako kazes, "podvig" :P

 

 

EDIT: ali slazem se da je glupo "pravilo"... Ako nemas sanse bit prvi, nemoras se ni trudit LOL Naravno ako ides na titulu
