Hmm, BMW boss predicts a peacefull season ahead QUOTE BMW motorsport boss Mario Theissen is predicting a season of peace between the FIA and Formula One's car manufacturers. Last November FIA president Max Mosley met with Grand Prix Manufacturers' Association chairman Burkhard Goeschel in Munich to talk about the on-going rift between the two parties as well as the future of the sport. Following the meeting, the two revealed that the GPMA and the FIA had come to a "complete agreement" on the future of the sport in terms of regulations, reducing costs and the future technologies that will be used in Formula One. "I expect certainly a quieter year," Theissen told Autosport, referring to the many arguments that took place last season between the FIA and the GPMA. "I think we are on a very constructive path now, discussing the future of the sport. "I see the chance, after all this meddling in the past, and that was not just 2006 it was in the past years too, to jointly create something that is really beneficial to all the stakeholders in the sport."

What? Senior Member 4,251 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Malacca, Malaysia, Earth	Ferrari say there will be a new aero package for the car before the first race this year. So we can expect the car to further change its look. So far, cars with radical changes IMO, is Renault and mclaren. Ferrari only the rear extra 3rd outlet, for cooling i think. Their wings still the same. Others are just okok. Toyota looks nothing special though. But heck I think at least those top teams should have at least some aero changes by the time they start the season. Cant wait for it to start... heheh

Ron Dennis has banned McLaren's 2007 driver lineup from drinking alcohol. Despite Ferrari-bound Kimi Raikkonen's supposed alcoholic indiscretions during his tenure in 2002-2006, the Woking based team's chairman suggested that the only sips taken by Lewis Hamilton or world champion Fernando Alonso this year should be champagne on the podium. After his drivers trained with Olympic athletes in Finland, Dennis told the Mirror: "We don't see why drivers need to have even one drink in the course of a season." The irony of Dennis' stance, however, is that whiskey sponsor Johnnie Walker's McLaren-associated slogan for this year is: "Be a champion. Drink responsibly." Source GMM CAPSIS International no more wild alcohol party for alonso and lewis then, so cham..... hahaha by the way, alonso new hair styles look neat, but his mouth still cannot close up, haha

Considering that they have one of the best wind tunnel in F1, it's blaphmeous to say that they can make a step backward on designing the car. I mean, it makes a better aero efficiency for all we know, but we don't have that knowledge.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 9,309 posts Joined: May 2005 From: Sabah-Australia-Shah Alam.	Yeah, Ferrari's engines are the most reliable IMO. I can't remember the last time they had an engine blowout. Besides, an engine blowout can hardly be the fault of the driver. I'll blame the engineers. Most F1 drivers are skillful(oh yeah Kimi's skillful ) enough to shift up at the redline and no later. Any later and they lose time and face possible engine failures.

Red Bull Addict Moderator 9,275 posts Joined: Jan 2005 From: KL. Best place in Malaysia. Nuff said	shit up the redline? It's not that simple. Keep pushing the redline all the time, you'll half the engine life for real. that's why drivers have different rev settings to use during different phase of the race to protect the engine. Senna, Schumacher, Prost, are the ones that can guess specifically and correctly when to use which rev during racing. Racing is not easy as many of you here think. Get in the car, drive flat out, win. It's more complicated than that now that the FIA want's the engine to last more. (Stupid move IMO, driver will less likely to push).

Hmm yeah I agree with you on that one. But still I put the blame "mostly" on the engineers for not making a reliable engine. I don't think drivers would want to hear, "go easy on the engine okay?". From what I know, they put a rev limiter so there is no need for the drivers to estimate when to use which rev in a race. The engineers and drivers work together to estimate where it is best to put the rev limiter. So the drivers won't get to the redline anyway. Correct me if I'm wrong please. And here I think Kimi will have a problem since he is not into the technical stuff. @Jackygwh: Which seasn was that? If it was last season or season before, it wasn't engine it was hydraulics(transmission). This post has been edited by tunertoobe: Jan 22 2007, 09:52 PM

If it was last season or season before, it wasn't engine it was hydraulics(transmission). Only one team used the REV limiter last season, and that was the V10 Ford of Tollo Losso. It was rev limited so that it can emulate the V8. Remember that because of the restrictor, it was THE MOST RELIABLE ENGINE last season. Putting a REV limiter on the V8 will be a retard move, as it will limit the already limited power of that engine. The Schummi blow up in Japan will always be Schummi's fault, I don't blame his engineer.

And I hope Kimi will not be taking unnecessary gamble like last time when he refused to change his tyre which had a flatspot. If he changes he would definitely still be in the top 3 but his suspension broke and he got nothing. Hope Kimi matures this season.

Red Bull Addict Moderator 9,275 posts Joined: Jan 2005 From: KL. Best place in Malaysia. Nuff said	This season they have a Ferrari engine while the Red Bull uses Renault. Or it's the other way around. Anyways, tunertube, I never heard or seen a rev limited F1 engine before, just the V10 of Torro Rosso last season. It's make no sense at all, and remember, more revs = more power. Which is why last season all the engine suppliers raced to reach the 20K RPM mark where it was first reached by COSWORTH for the Williams, and broken at the Brazillian race with the custom made Schumacher 22K special engine which incidently, the only V8 car in history that have used the engine (Massa only got the 19.5K RPM engine that day, which made Schummi's last race seems odinary by his standard) because of rule changes.

The Finn, who joined Ferrari at the start of the year, has yet to get behind the wheel of one of the Scuderia's F1 car even though his team-mate Felipe Massa has already tested the latest F2007. Raikkonen, though, will have his first opportunity to experience Ferrari power at the Vallelunga circuit near Rome on Tuesday. The 27-year-old will, however, be driving last year's 248F1 for the three-day test, while Massa continues working with the team's 2007 car, the F2007. A Ferrari mechanic revealed that this was to make sure that the new F2007 will not have any mishap on it's testing run, unlike the ones that plauged the debut testing of the 2007 McLaren and the 2007 Renault 'Kimi will surely gun the car straight from the pit, and we are not ready for all the PR if he blew the engine during his first test.' he revealed

If this was MOTO GP, yes, the power from the engine is limited by the engineer (if not, you'll see them flying off the track). But for F1, there is never enough power, and it's up to the driver to make the decision on what revs to use. There is a dial on the steering wheel for this. this is called 'Short Shifting', meaning shifting the gear earlier than the intended redline. Driver's do this when not under pressure or during the closing laps of the race. It saves fuel and engine, but like I said, engineers will have nothing to do with it. And that's why I said that the Schumacher Ferrari last season will be the last car that have the 22KRPM engine.

Nuff said	Former F1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya won the famous Daytona 24 Hours sportscar race on Sunday, earning himself a place in history. Driving for Chip Ganassi's team in the race held Florida, Montoya shared the No. 01 Chip Ganassi Racing Lexus Riley car with Scott Pruett and Salvador Duran. The trio completed a massive 688 laps between them in the 24 hours to take the victory ahead of the No. 11 car of Ryan Dalziel, Patrick Carpentier, Darren Manning and Milka Duno. The victory saw Montoya become only the second man after Mario Andretti to win the Indianapolis 500, a Formula One grand prix and the Daytona 24 Hours. "It's a big deal for me," Montoya said. "The boys worked so hard for this. "Me, Salvador and Scott all worked hard and we kept the car on the road at all times and that was the key to victory. "We made no mistakes and were fast when we had to be."

Driving for Chip Ganassi's team in the race held Florida, Montoya shared the No. 01 Chip Ganassi Racing Lexus Riley car with Scott Pruett and Salvador Duran. The trio completed a massive 688 laps between them in the 24 hours to take the victory ahead of the No. 11 car of Ryan Dalziel, Patrick Carpentier, Darren Manning and Milka Duno. The victory saw Montoya become only the second man after Mario Andretti to win the Indianapolis 500, a Formula One grand prix and the Daytona 24 Hours. "It's a big deal for me," Montoya said. "The boys worked so hard for this. "Me, Salvador and Scott all worked hard and we kept the car on the road at all times and that was the key to victory. "We made no mistakes and were fast when we had to be." I told you guys he is good

Norbert Haug confident in Bridgestone QUOTE Speculation has arisen questioning sole tyre supplier Bridgestone's insistence that all teams will be treated fairly. The Cologne based publication Express observes that while most outfits have unveiled shorter-wheelbased cars to cope with the characteristics and required weight distribution for the current-spec tyre, Ferrari's new F2007 chassis uniquely has a longer wheelbase than in 2006. It is suggested that Bridgestone may have provided Ferrari, the Japanese company's favoured partner during the now-ended tyre war, with privileged information about the likely direction of development during the season. Mercedes' Competition Director Norbert Haug responded: "It would be a big mistake for Bridgestone to prefer one partner over the others, so I am completely relaxed." E.A. Source GMM

Nuff said	'Schumi's like an ex that won't go away' QUOTE(Mark Webber) Mark Webber believes Michael Schumacher's presence at Ferrari's test sessions must be as uncomfortable for Kimi Raikkonen as if his new love's ex was hanging around. Although Schumacher quit his role as Ferrari race driver at the end of last season, the seven-times World Champion remains with the team as a 'super assistant' to Jean Todt. And part of that role means he will be attending a few of the Scuderia's test sessions. However, according to Webber, that's the wrong thing to do as having Schumacher, a long-time Ferrari favourite, hanging around could be very uncomfortable to new driver Raikkonen - just like when your new love invites his/her ex around. "It's odd having him (Schumacher) at the tests, I think - really odd," Webber told ITV. "It's like having your ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend there. Kimi must go 'what the f*?' "It must feel so strange to have the teacher's pet standing above you while you are trying to get on with your own new programme. "Suffocation or what?" Nice one Mark! Richards joins customer car row** QUOTE The row over customer cars in F1 continues with Prodrive chairman Dave Richards saying he will go ahead with his plans to lease cars next season. Richards is set to join Formula One in 2008 and has already made it clear that he will use customer cars in his team's first season in the sport. However, Sir Frank Williams recently warned the former BAR team boss that chassis sharing and the use of customer cars has not yet been agreed for the 2008 season. "In the presently issued rules for 2008, customer cars are not yet a done deal," said Williams, who has already threatened legal action against Super Aguri and Toro Rosso should they use cars they have not designed or built themselves in this year's Championship. However, Richards, who may lease cars from McLaren for Prodrive's first season in Formula One, claims that the rule is as good as written. "There is absolutely no question about it, customer cars are permitted in 2008," Richards told The Guardian. "Williams have entered the 2008 World Championship accepting that condition. It all seems absolutely clear to me."

Nuff said	Fernando trumps Kimi on first day at Valencia QUOTE McLaren's Fernando Alonso clocked the quickest time at Tuesday's eventful test at Valencia, trumping Kimi Raikkonen by a second. The Finnish Ferrari driver was working alongside test driver Luca Badoer who endured a miserable day in the wet conditions. Luca Badoer worked on installing new components on the 248 F1 but ended the day at the bottom of the timesheets after an unspecified technical problem ended his session. Earlier he was involved in an incident with Alonso which saw his Ferrari end up in the gravel trap. The track dried out in the afternoon which meant that many of the nine teams did their serious running later in the day. Alonso was impressive in the MP4-22 as the Woking team focused on gaining track time on Bridgestone rubber. An oil leak towards the end of the day was the only problem the team reported. Raikkonen got his first taste of the F2007 but his fastest lap was a second slower than Alonso's. Renault were third quickest on the timesheets as Nelson Piquet Jr put the R27 through its paces. Nelsinho was content with the way the day progressed, "In the end, it wasn't such a busy day for us. We only began the programme towards the end of the day when the weather improved. "Everything went OK from my point of view, and it feels like the real work has begun now: these are important tests for the team, and there is still a lot to do before the opening races." The Anglo French team are looking to add mileage on their 2007 challenger and waited for track conditions to improve before serious testing. The Toyota's of Franck Montagny and Jarno Trulli were slightly quicker than Giancarlo Fisichella. The wet weather limited running time and ten red flags hampered the test. Renault have called for the test to be extended until Friday to make up for lost time. Improved weather conditions are expected for Wednesday, but Fisi found it impossible to hide his frustration. "It was pretty frustrating today, waiting for the track conditions to improve. We basically lost a day's work but that can happen at this time of year. "We still have three days left though, and I am sure we can make some good progress during the rest of the week." Valencia Test Times - 30/01/2007 1 . F. Alonso - McLaren Mercedes MP4-22 - 1:12.538 (+ 0.000 ) - 96 laps 2 . K. Raikkonen - Ferrari F2007 - 1:13.533 (+ 0.995 ) - 48 laps 3 . N. Piquet - Renault R27 - 1:13.550 (+ 1.012 ) - 31 laps 4 . F.

Nuff said	QUOTE(Raikkonen @ Feb 1 2007, 06:41 PM) Kimi must think "...menyibuk je..." read post #108 QUOTE Fernando Alonso continued to demonstrate the pace of the new McLaren MP4-22 at Valencia on Wednesday, topping the timesheets ahead of his former team-mate Giancarlo Fisichella. Despite the clear skies in the morning when running began, the track was wet from overnight rain and took a long time to dry out. However, the rain did little to dampen Alonso's charge and he completed 86 laps with a best time of 1:12.582 to beat Fisichella by 0.155 seconds. Fisichella, though, had his running cut short when, after just 37 laps, his new Renault R27 suffered a mechanical failure. "The weather dictated our running once again today. We waited for a long time, which ate into our programme, but these things happens," said the Roman. "I had a mechanical problem but I'm not worried - the team is working to find out what happened, and it is always better to have these problems in testing... We will carry on with the programme tomorrow, hopefully with some better weather!" His team-mate Heikki Kovalaien finished in third place, just 0.033 seconds off Fisichella's pace. "The track conditions today were changing all the time, and quite tricky, but we still made some progress with our work," said the Finn. "We need to carry on in the same direction tomorrow, and hopefully we can do more laps. The performance of the car seems OK, but we want to put more miles on it -- and we need better weather to do so!" Kimi Raikkonen clinched fourth place in the new Ferrari F2007. The Finn's best time for the day, a 1:12.869, was just 0.287s off Alonso's P1 time. Fifth place went to BMW's Nick Heidfeld, while his team-mate Robert Kubica finished with the seventh fastest time. Kubica, though, only managed 42 laps as a hydraulic leak caused a fire in his car. Jarno Trulli slotted in between the two BMW drivers, while Felipe Massa completed the top eight for Ferrari.

They usually use non flamable materials. And usually, racers use their own personal suits and shoes.

It all depends on how the drivers will do since all drivers has differ attitudes, driving styles, skills and patients. Me 2nd on that Hamilton thing Why don't he just stay at Renault since Fabio loves him so much (kissed his cheek) 1st, we need to see which car has the best straight line speed That is crucial and will gave the team the Championship. We've seen it since 2000 where Ferrari and Williams were neck to neck and Williams did manage to beat Ferrari but in the end ferrari always reign with Michael's supremacy

Red Bull Addict Moderator 9,275 posts Joined: Jan 2005 From: KL. Best place in Malaysia. Nuff said	wow, I read an editorial from planetf1.com QUOTE The most astonishing spat of all is the revelation from Ferrari's test and technical manager Nigel Stepney that he was 'open to offers'. Having served a thirteen year "apprenticeship" at the Scuderia clearly Nigel imagined that in the post-Schumacher era, with the sudden absence of Ross Brawn, that he would get some kind of promotion. "I'm not currently happy with the situation within the team... I really want to move forward with my career and that's something that's not happening right now," he told Autosport magazine in a breathtakingly candid interview. "Ideally, I'd like to move into a new environment here at Ferrari, but if an opportunity arose with another team, I would definitely consider it." In football that would run under the headline: 'Stepney Issues Come And Get Me Plea' The fact that Nigel is prepared to go public with his concerns clearly indicates a huge fight with the team, and a difference between what he wants to do and what Ferrari are prepared to offer him. However the fact that he's talked about it indicates it might be a bit of a negotiating posture. When Adrian Newey left McLaren for Red Bull, he didn't say he was unhappy with the team, he just got himself another job. A man with Stepney's experience could be invaluable at David Richards' new Prodrive F1 outfit and it wouldn't be hard for Nigel to get hold of David's phone number. Even we have it. Supa Aguri VS Spyker F1 QUOTE But the Dutch-owned Spyker team have now listed Van der Garde as one of their four test drivers sparking forth and indignation from Super Aguri. In a statement, they said: "Super Aguri has a valid contract with Giedo van der Garde to drive for the team in the position of Friday and test driver for the 2007 FIA Formula One World Championship. The contract was submitted by the SAF1 Team to the Contracts Recognition Board on 23 January 2007." This post has been edited by linkinstreet: Feb 7 2007, 09:07 AM

Generally it's who has the best overall package in terms of straight line speed, aerodynamic grip (fast corners), mechanical grip (slow corners) and reliability that will determine which is the fastest car.

Nuff said	McLaren continued to stake their claim as pre-season favourites for this year's titles when Pedro de la Rosa put the MP4-22 into pole position at Jerez on Tuesday. McLaren test driver de la Rosa picked up where team-mate Fernando Alonso left off at Valencia last week, clocking the fastest time of the day, a 1:20.001, during his marathon 108 laps. Alex Wurz, who was driving the new Williams FW29, finished in second place, a mere 0.035 seconds off the pace. The Austrian's day, though, wasn't without problems as he stopped out on track at the Angel Nieto corner with just a couple of minutes of the session left to run. Robert Kubica, meanwhile, continued to make his mark on F1, finishing the day in third place, a further 0.123 seconds off the pace. Kubica, however, was another driver to experience problems with a hydraulic issue limiting the Pole to just 46 laps. Fourth place went to Lewis Hamilton in a time of 1:20.233 and like de la Rosa, he too completed a marathon number of laps: 111 in total. Kimi Raikkonen ended the day in fifth place, ahead of Ralf Schumacher and Jenson Button. Franck Montagny completed the top eight, posting a 1:20.406 during his 46 laps. The Toyota test driver, though, finished the day early after stopping out on Turn Six. "We worked on quite a few things today which was good, we have made some steps forward. We had a few little issues in the afternoon which we had to solve straight away," he said. "We needed plenty of time to analyse everything and find an answer which is why we finished early. But the car reacted well to the changes we made so I am quite happy. If we had put some new tyres on we would have been able to go quite a bit faster." Times 01. de la Rosa McLaren 1:20.001 108 laps 02. Wurz Williams 1:20.036 72 laps 03. Kubica BMW 1:20.159 46 laps 04. Hamilton McLaren 1:20.233 111 laps 05. Raikkonen Ferrari 1:20.245 86 laps 06.

Ron Dennis has clearly issued a decree forcing team members to tow the party-line which 'plays down' the Woking team's chances of success. World Champion Fernando Alonso told Spanish network Telecinco that the MP4-22 is, "Not even close to ready for Australia and time is running out". Alonso's team-mate Lewis Hamilton echoed his team-mates view, "There are many things that we still have to do before we get to the first race, that is for sure." This comes as some surprise as bar the occasional teething problems the 2007 challenger has been quick and reliable. McLaren's chief operating officer Martin Whitmarsh is the latest member of McLaren's personnel to jump on the bandwagon. Speaking of the rain hindered final day of testing at Jerez he said, "We have a much better understanding of where we are, and more importantly on what work needs to be done between now and Australia to ensure that we arrive in Melbourne in the best possible position." "Although the timesheets seem to be favouring us we are fully aware of where we need to improve the cars performance during the forthcoming tests in Barcelona and Bahrain." Earlier Alonso had said, "I hope that in Barcelona and Bahrain we can get it (MP4-22) set up properly in two weeks time." It seems as if members of the team are not allowed to stray too far from what they read in the team's internal memo. Alonso has clearly let his newfound status in the paddock go to his head as he wrote off his former team's chances in the title race, "Renault will start the year well, but they will get worse, as usual," he said. At least he is on good terms with Renault then. Massa seems to prefer his old team QUOTE Ferrari driver Felipe Massa believes that based on pre-season testing BMW is the team to beat. The Brazilian played down McLaren's excellent form while lauding the BMW F1.07. "The McLaren surely looks fast, but in my opinion the BMW Sauber is the best of all at the moment," Massa told Gazzetta dello Sport. "The McLaren is the fastest over a single lap, but as far as consistency is concerned the BMW is impressive even though they perhaps haven't the best reliability yet. "For now I put them ahead of Ferrari and McLaren." Massa remains confident over the Maranello team's progress saying, "We are in the situation we had expected, "The car is demonstrating to be certainly quick and reliable too, even though we had some problems. However, we know how to solve them. "We leave Jerez with some good things and some others not as good. The car is quick and there's nothing to worry about". Kimi is blaming Bridgstone if his car fails next season QUOTE Kimi Raikkonen has joined the likes of Robert Kubica in complaining that the 2007-spec Bridgestone tyres do not suit his driving style. BMW's Kubica was the first driver to voice his concerns over the harder Bridgestone compounds after running the tyres in December tests. And when Autosport asked Raikkonen at Jerez whether he thought that the tyres suited his driving style the Finn replied, "No, not really". "I think we need to work on the car to make it work for me," he continued. "It is getting better all the time but it takes time to get used to (the tyres). "We still have some work to do; every day it is getting easier." The Ferrari driver appeared unfazed at McLaren's domination through testing saying that the real test will come at the opening race of the season. "We will need to wait and see in the first race. "Then we can say who is really quick. I think it will be quite close," said Raikkonen. This post has been edited by linkinstreet: Feb 9 2007, 11:24 PM

Anyway, pre season testing, everyone test different things so the times doesn't mean anything. And so is what alonso says there. No one is going to admit their car is fast even if it is.

Even tho with all the problems they had, they managed to make one of the best engine last season. Pity that Williams was so screwed last season that they can't make the most of that engine. It has so much potential

Myvi SE - It's a passion Senior Member 3,097 posts Joined: Feb 2006 From: AS -> PG -> KL -> PJ	interesting news.... http://www.f1-live.com/f1/en/headlines/new...221093220.shtml Brawn, Dennis and McLaren Rumours doing the rounds.... QUOTE Mere days after he admitted that becoming Ferrari's team boss would be considered 'an option', Ross Brawn is being linked with a possible switch to the McLaren team. The rumour has emerged in the German publication Sport Bild, which claims that the Mercedes-powered camp might be on the lookout for a successor for Ron Dennis. Mercedes' parent company DaimlerChrysler is reportedly looking to buy the rest of Dennis' personal stake in Woking based McLaren, after the Briton sold half to a Bahrain company. It has been suggested that Dennis, who is approaching his sixtieth birthday, might shift his allegiance to Prodrive as the likelihood increases that David Richards' new entrant will use McLaren cars and a Mercedes engine in 2008. Sport Bild added that Dennis may be negotiating with Richards to buy up to 70 per cent of the Prodrive Grand Prix team. Brawn, 52, is this year taking a sabbatical, after following Michael Schumacher from Benetton to Ferrari in 1996 and serving as Technical Director ever since. Source GMM CAPSIS International

Nuff said	BMW reaffirmed their early season pace with Nick Heidfeld at the summit of the timesheets in testing at Bahrain. The German was nearly eight tenths of a second ahead of his closest rival Fernando Alonso at the Sakhir circuit on Friday. Heidfeld set the fastest time on Friday morning during qualifying simulation. BMW team-mate Robert Kubica was fifth fastest with both drivers completing full race simulations in the afternoon. "Today was a good day we did a race simulation which went problem free which was very satisfying for us as last time we had some technical problems in the winter runs but today went well and the speeds seemed good," said Heidfeld. "We have three more days of testing here, one tomorrow then two days off and two more days after that. It is the most important test for us and for many I'm sure as it's the last big test before the start of the season. "I'm really excited about the start of the season, it is very special to me the first race and also I enjoy Melbourne and at the moment the car is looking good." McLaren new-boy Lewis Hamilton focused on longer runs to set the MP4-22 up for the Australian Grand Prix. The Brit was fourth fastest. Jenson Button split the two McLaren drivers and was third fastest during an encouraging day for the Honda team. Ferrari driver Felipe Massa was quickest on Thursday and the Brazilian managed the eighth quickest time on Friday. Kimi Raikkonen was sixth. The Scuderia outfit were concentrating on electronic development and both drivers completed 70 laps. The Renault pair of test-driver Nelson Piquet Jr and Heikki Kovalainen completed endurance tests over race distances and worked on general set-up and tyres. They were seventh and tenth respectively.

Casual Junior Member 353 posts Joined: Sep 2006	Bahrain day three - McLaren take charge QUOTE McLaren finished one-two in Sakhir on Saturday as the first leg of Bahrain testing drew to close. World champion Fernando Alonso led the way, but rookie team mate Lewis Hamilton was just a tenth of a second behind. Seven-tenths down on Hamilton were the Ferraris of Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen, the Scuderia team mates also closely matched. Heikki Kovalainen made the top five for Renault, just ahead of the Hondas of Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button, with David Coulthard next up in eighth after an encouraging outing in the Red Bull RB3. Friday leader Nick Heidfeld dropped down the order after an unscheduled engine change on his BMW Sauber, while at Toro Rosso Scott Speed got his first taste of the new STR2 machine as he awaits final confirmation of his 2007 race seat with the team. Despite several drivers experiencing technical problems, it was a generally productive session, with everyone managing at least 50 laps and six men (Raikkonen, Barrichello, Nelson Piquet Jr, Anthony Davidson, Franck Montagny and Jarno Trulli) completing a century or more. Testing resumes in Bahrain next Tuesday. Unofficial Saturday times from Bahrain: 1. Fernando Alonso, McLaren, 1:30.994 2. Lewis Hamilton, McLaren, 1:31.094 3. Felipe Massa, Ferrari, 1:31.718 4. Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari, 1:31.867 5. Heikki Kovalainen, Renault, 1:32.032 6. Rubens Barrichello, Honda, 1:32.115 7. Jenson Button, Honda, 1:32.137 8. David Coulthard, Red Bull, 1:32.220 9. Nelson Piquet Jr, Renault, 1:32.334 10. Nick Heidfeld, BMW Sauber, 1:32.451 11. Robert Kubica, BMW Sauber, 1:32.475 12. Anthony Davidson, Super Aguri, 1:32.553 13. Franck Montagny, Toyota, 1:32.917 14. Mark Webber, Red Bull, 1:33.034 15. Jarno Trulli, Toyota, 1:33.062 16. Scott Speed, Toro Rosso, 1:33.225

Red Bull Addict Moderator 9,275 posts Joined: Jan 2005 From: KL. Best place in Malaysia. Nuff said	Well, BMW still have quick nick and Kubica, which IMO can be quite fast. And last season they were still not using all their full capabilities, only just merging with Sauber. What Sauber lacked was not expertise, as they can produce fast cars, but was the budget for them to make more parts, and with BMW, they have this now. Yes McLaren had a dismall season last year, and Ferrari too the year before. The problem was last season, McLaren lost Adrian Newey, and with the car was designed by Newey, it's hard to upgrade it without his input anymore. we saw in Bahrain that the car was fast during the start of the season, but started going downhill after that. Sometimes, losing a key personell can lead to disadvantageous. Ferrari meanwhile was too cocky with all the wins that in 05, they thought that they can just plunk in any car and it will do. What it forgot what Bridgestone lacks the team and milage to test their tyres, thus leaving them with crappy tyres that cannot last the race distance. BMW and Mario Thiessen worked hard last winter to get the team going, and it's now showing. Massa is not the kind of guy to praise other teams, and yet he said that BMW could be the dark horse. And it's not just massa, many other drivers are saying that BMW has improved much last season. And I disagree with hard to spot Spyker with the Ferrari. Last season, midland's was the same with McLaren, in which the bottom was black, and the top was white. Which when shown in a front horizon shot, kinda the same. Spyker this year meanwhile has a silver nose and sidepod and black branding, compared to Ferrari's all red livery with white branding. And if all is lost, just look at the helmet design This post has been edited by linkinstreet: Feb 27 2007, 07:49 PM

They didn't forget their tyres mate, the tyres couldn't last the race distance, the wear of the Bridgestone's were much higher as opposed to the Michelin's, n Bridgestone nvr did have a hybrid tyre for the wet/dry, U gotta understand that season only 4 teams were on Bridgestone and out of that onli Ferrari was a top team, the rest we mid-tables and down-theres, so they didn't have the testing luxury of Michelin either, it was more of an issue with Bridgestone as opposed to Ferrari. Schumi a chance to reign over the F1 world? u gotta b kiddin me, he does reign over the F1 world, he's rewritten every record in F1 history save for most pole starts. Alonso's got a long way to go before he can even be mentioned in da same breath as Schumi N Yes, we did see competition tht yr, didn't we? juz like everybody wanted instead of a scarlet Ferrari at the front every time, Ferrari stagnated and it was a wake up to em to buck up n so they did, it's gonna be a cracker of a 07 season n it's goin da away of the RED tide.

Red Bull Addict Moderator 9,275 posts Joined: Jan 2005 From: KL. Best place in Malaysia. Nuff said	For some reason, I disagree with the Schumacher 'rewritten the whole F1 record' thing. Did he get the most pole? yes he did, but it took him over 1/5th of the races that he entered to get that. Senna meanwhile scored pole every 0.4 races. And points? hell, that's not significant. Considering the races he entered, and the points given out was different from the times of James Hunt/Jackie Stewart/Juan Manual Fangio, it's just not fair. Juan Manual started F1 at fricking 40++ for crying out loud. If he was younger, he could have added to the 5 world championship that he has. And during that time, how many points and races were done per season? Even if you don't feel like it, Alonso is a deserved world champ. Heck, he even held the record of the youngest F1 winner, and double f1 champion, and still can be the youngest to boot. And his 2 championship comes without conterversy or foul play. the same cannot be said to a certain champ that won the '94 and nonchalantly budges Jaques to win the '97 world title. Heck, I wonder when the last time I see Fernando went into another teams garage and threathened to kill another driver....

Casual Junior Member 353 posts Joined: Sep 2006	Ferrari retained their grip on the Sakhir timesheets on Wednesday as Felipe Massa again set the pace in testing. The Brazilian's time of 1m 30.640s put him half a second clear of McLaren's Lewis Hamilton. Massa's team mate Kimi Raikkonen made it two Ferraris in the top three, after he scored the third fastest time of the day. While Raikkonen completed 94 laps in the unmodified version of the F2007, it was left to Massa to take charge of the team's new aerodynamic package. The Brazilian covered 100 laps in total. Both will continue testing duties on Thursday. Second-placed Hamilton was joined on track by McLaren tester Pedro de la Rosa, who clocked the fifth-quickest time, just behind the Renault of Giancarlo Fisichella, who focused on handling work, as well as set-up and tyre testing. The Italian's team mate Heikki Kovalainen was sixth. The Finn had to wait until the afternoon for his car to be made track worthy following Tuesday's accident. He covered 29 laps in total, following the obligatory systems checks. "I was pleased to be able to get back out on track this afternoon," explained Kovalainen. "The mechanics have done a fantastic job to repair the car so quickly, and a big thank you to the team for their efforts. It was important to run again today, and I was focused on getting the jobs done we needed to, to minimise the amount of lost time. We got some interesting results this afternoon." Nick Heidfeld was the quickest BMW Sauber in seventh, while team mate Robert Kubica took the second F1.07 to tenth. Although Kubica's running was interrupted by a hydraulic leak in the morning, the pair covered just over 120 laps between them. Both will test again on Thursday, completing the team's final systems checks ahead of next month's Melbourne race. Jenson Button was the eighth-fastest runner for Honda, while Brazilian team mate Rubens Barrichello finished in 11th slot - just two-thousandths of a second shy of Kubica's time. The most impressive performance of the day, however, was arguably that of Vitantonio Liuzzi, who took the Ferrari-powered Toro Rosso to ninth place, comfortably ahead of Red Bull stable mates David Coulthard and Mark Webber, who finished 14th and 15th respectively. With Super Aguri's Takuma Sato finishing 12th, it was left to Toyota team mates Ralf Schumacher and Jarno Trulli to complete the day's line-up in 13th and 16th respectively. Schumacher, who bowed out early from Tuesday's test after suffering back pain, completed 84 laps in the TF107, Trulli 41. While Schumacher reported positive progress, Trulli had a more troubled day, with both gearbox and engine issues costing him track time. "Jarno went through quite a lot of problems and we are not really happy with the reliability record on his car today," confirmed Pascal Vasselon, Toyota's senior general manager (chassis). "Still, despite this lack of running, his programme has been very fruitful. It has been useful in terms of results and they have been interesting." Testing concludes in Bahrain on Thursday. Unofficial Wednesday times from Bahrain: 1. Felipe Massa, Ferrari, 1:30.640 2. Lewis Hamilton, McLaren, 1:31.178 3. Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari, 1:31.490 4. Giancarlo Fisichella, Renault, 1:31.967 5.

Casual Junior Member 353 posts Joined: Sep 2006	kovalainen crash for renault LONDON, England -- Renault rookie Heikki Kovalainen has escaped unhurt after a 200kph crash in Formula One testing in Bahrain. The 25-year-old Finn, who clambered out of the car after smashing heavily into the barriers at the desert circuit, said he had "got caught out" on turn seven during the morning session. "All the safety systems worked perfectly so I am fine, but there is quite a lot of damage to the car and I may not be able to start running again until tomorrow afternoon," Kovalainen said in the team's end of day report. "That will delay our programme, which is frustrating, but the focus now is on working with the team to get the car ready as soon as possible. "We are already in a good position after running for three days last week, but there are still some important preparations to be completed before we get to Melbourne." Bahrain is hosting the final official test before the season kicks off in Australia on March 18. Kovalainen has replaced Spain's double world champion Fernando Alonso, who has moved to McLaren, in the Renault line-up alongside Italian Giancarlo Fisichella. Toyota's Ralf Schumacher also sat out the afternoon after bouncing over a kerb and hurting his back. French test driver Franck Montagny stood in but the team expected the German to resume testing on Wednesday. Ferrari set the pace, with Brazilian Felipe Massa and Finland's Kimi Raikkonen both completing race distances. Massa lapped with a best time of 1:31.260, Raikkonen 1:31.590. Alonso was third quickest in 1:31.851. BMW Sauber's Polish driver Robert Kubica was fourth. "There are still some problems that are annoying us so we have to find some compromise between reliability and performance before the start of the season," circuit organisers quoted Kubica as saying. "This test is crucial to us but unfortunately the problems are still there," he added. "We have had these problems for quite a long time so the first lot of grands prixs for us will be difficult."

Nuff said	Ex McLaren team manager Jo Ramirez believes Fernando Alonso is the favourite to win this year's World title, although he does expect Ferrari to pose a challenge. Alonso has excelled in winter testing, often finishing near the top of the timesheets as McLaren's new MP4-22 demonstrates that it has both pace and reliability. And according to Ramirez, Alonso's talent, which saw him win back-to-back World titles with Renault, and McLaren's much-improved MP4-22 will prove to be a winning combination this season. "Alonso will win," Ramirez, who retired in 2001, told Autosprint magazine. "There are no doubts over his driving talent, of course. "However, what's new is that McLaren-Mercedes will regain their reliability: things have changed for the better with the new car." Ramirez, though, believes Alonso will face a tough challenge from Ferrari, although it won't come from Kimi Raikkonen, but rather it will be mounted by Felipe Massa. "Ferrari will take full advantage of the know-how they've developed through their long partnership with Bridgestone," he said. "They will fight with McLaren and it will be a great fight, but I've already said how I think it will end." He added: "The thing is that in my opinion the real challenger to McLaren won't be Raikkonen, but Massa. "Felipe is improving massively and in the end he can reveal himself to be more performing than Kimi."

Casual Junior Member 353 posts Joined: Sep 2006	Ferrari finish testing as favourites The last major pre-season test drew to a close in Bahrain on Thursday, with Ferrari once again dominating the timesheets, leaving the Italian team hotly tipped to win the opening race in Australia in just over a fortnight's time. For the third day in a row Felipe Massa was the man to beat, the Brazilian the only driver to dip below the 1m 30s mark around the Sakhir circuit, after clocking a best time of 1m 29.989s. Massa tested in the morning only, running 45 laps in an F2007 fitted with Ferrari's latest aero package. Team mate Kimi Raikkonen continued work on the package in afternoon, the Finn totalling 77 laps as he finished fourth fastest. Splitting the Ferraris were the Renaults of Heikki Kovalainen and Giancarlo Fisichella in second and third respectively. Kovalainen covered 61 laps in the R27, as he spent the day fine-tuning set-up for April's Bahrain Grand Prix. Fisichella practised race weekend procedures, but was forced to curtail his running early due to a mechanical problem. World champion Fernando Alonso, meanwhile, finished just shy of Raikkonen in fifth place for McLaren. Alonso was joined by test driver Pedro de la Rosa, who clocked the seventh-fastest time. The pair continued the team's preparatory work for Melbourne, which included aero tests and set-up programmes. Rubens Barrichello completed the top six, while Honda team mate Jenson Button finished down in 14th. By far the busiest man on track was Scott Speed, who put in 125 laps in the Toro Rosso STR2. It was another good outing for the Italian team as they finished the session in eighth place. "Every day, more and more parts have arrived here from the factory, which have helped us to improve reliability and performance," said Laurent Mekies, Toro Rosso's chief engineer. "It really kept our guys busy and they worked very hard. Looking at today's performance especially it is clear we are working in the right direction, even if there is a lot to do." Just eight-hundredths of a second slower than Speed was Red Bull stable mate David Coulthard, while Mark Webber in the second RB3 was 11th. Both Webber and Coulthard completed several long runs, and covered a total of 150 laps. "The test has not been trouble free and a few elements still need fixing, but we have made some progress," commented Christian Horner, Red Bull's team principal. "Next week, we will run at Magny-Cours for two days when, as planned, the RB3 will run with the new aerodynamic package that will be used in the first race in Melbourne." Nick Heidfeld was the quickest BMW Sauber driver in tenth, with Robert Kubica finishing 12th in the second F1.07. The pair wrapped up the team's winter programme, carrying out aero tests and set-up evaluations. "We were able to confirm the cooling system and to test the tyre characteristics in high track temperatures and test the entire car under conditions which will be similar to those we expect for the first three races," explained Willy Rampf, BMW Sauber's technical director. "By being careful to prepare in every detail we hope to be able to show the same reliability in Melbourne as well." Ralf Schumacher and test driver Franck Montagny were both in action for Toyota's final day in Bahrain. While Schumacher set the 13th-fastest time, Montagny ended the session 15th. Completing the Thursday line-up was Super Aguri's Takuma Sato in 16th. Sato covered 53 laps as he focused on aero tests and set-up work for Melbourne in the Japanese team's interim car. The 2007 Super Aguri is set to be launched on March 12. With testing in Bahrain complete, the teams will return to their bases and prepare to depart for Melbourne and the Australian Grand Prix on March 18. Unofficial Thursday times from Bahrain: 1. Felipe Massa, Ferrari, 1:29.989 2. Heikki Kovalainen, Renault, 1:30.384 3. Giancarlo Fisichella, Renault, 1:30.498 4. Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari, 1:30.534 5. Fernando Alonso, McLaren, 1:30.564 6.

New Member Junior Member 14 posts Joined: Feb 2007	QUOTE(linkinstreet @ Mar 1 2007, 12:02 AM) For some reason, I disagree with the Schumacher 'rewritten the whole F1 record' thing. Did he get the most pole? yes he did, but it took him over 1/5th of the races that he entered to get that. Senna meanwhile scored pole every 0.4 races. And points? hell, that's not significant. Considering the races he entered, and the points given out was different from the times of James Hunt/Jackie Stewart/Juan Manual Fangio, it's just not fair. Juan Manual started F1 at fricking 40++ for crying out loud. If he was younger, he could have added to the 5 world championship that he has. And during that time, how many points and races were done per season? Even if you don't feel like it, Alonso is a deserved world champ. Heck, he even held the record of the youngest F1 winner, and double f1 champion, and still can be the youngest to boot. And his 2 championship comes without conterversy or foul play. the same cannot be said to a certain champ that won the '94 and nonchalantly budges Jaques to win the '97 world title. Heck, I wonder when the last time I see Fernando went into another teams garage and threathened to kill another driver.... Times evolve mate, if u wanna live in da past, tht's ur beef. i'm not gonna dispute da fact tht Senna, Fangio, Hunt, Stewart, Hill were good drivers, mayb great even but they raced in a different era. I'll bet u this though, none of em showed the tenacity of Schuey, i nvr saw em come off the bck off the grid to finish on the podium. Alonso was spoonfed, he had everythin at his disposal, the team favored him, Briatore liked him better, the car was mighty fine too and the michelin's worked wonders too. N ur contradicting urself aye, ur comparin Schuey to da old time greats, y not Alonso?, do i sense a double standard here? N yeah Schuey did spice up the F1 world, there are ppl who question his racing style at times, only goes to show the man's human and his win at all costs motto might not sit well wif some, too bad. N i'm guessin u'll nvr see Fernando threaten another driver, he's too chickenshit for it. Added on March 3, 2007, 1:10 pm QUOTE(Raikkonen @ Mar 2 2007, 05:13 PM) Massa looks promising.

Nuff said	When I compared Schummi to the great oldies, it's because that I was refuting you saying he was the greatest driver that broke every record. what you said when you never see them start on the back of the grid and finish high enough? did you really watched them race? How dare you say they don't have the tenacy of a racing driver. If you want tenacy, look at Niki Lauda. He was burnt nearly to death, that a priest was called to say his last rites. But he went on to race again. What I didn't say was Alonso was the greatest. Heck, I also rate Schumacher higher than Alonso, but what I said was, Alonso don't need to prove to anyone that he is a godd world champ. Chickenshit? whoever can pass schumacher on the outside of 130R full throttle ain't no chicken shit to me. Spoonfed? Was he spoonfed when he was at Minardi? Was it his fault that Giancarlo flopped so sadly last season? And what the difference that make with Schumacher? If you said that Renault spoonfed Fernando, we can say the same with Schummi and Ferrari. He gets the best parts, the best car, and even the best finishing if he wants (remember Austria?). Briatore did the same thing to him at Benneton when he won in 94 and 95, so when Briatore does the same thing to Fernando, you're pissed of? From what I see, you're the one that seeing double standards of thing. Yes, schumacher might be human, and he did all he did to win, but Senna too did what he needed to do, but the difference was, if he felt he was wrong, in the end he will SAY he's sorry (remember Japan, Senna Mclaren and Prost Ferrari?). oh yeah, before I forgot. Try looking for the 1983 US GP at long beach. The winner and 2nd place man started from 22 and 23 on the grid. And yet you say they cannot start from the back on the grid to finish in the podium.

So lets call a truce aye n leave da squabbling for da tracks, this is a public forum after all. Peace out mate, 2 weeks n counting INVASION OF THE RED TIDE/ TIFOSI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The cars now are much safer and way easier to drive. You gotta have real balls to be willing to drive an F1 car in the past...and it was all manual gear shifting and no traction control like u have these days.

I do believe that car can maketh the driver. The Williams of the old was so strong that many team said you can put an averange racer in the Williams car and he can win the world championship.

Red Bull Addict Moderator 9,275 posts Joined: Jan 2005 From: KL. Best place in Malaysia. Nuff said	Heh, it's not just car setup. While Schumacher does drive better than Rubens, he also has the luxury of having the better parts on his car. Sometimes in F1, team is just in the name only Hamilton does not expect favours from Fernando QUOTE It is a sign of Lewis Hamilton's burgeoning maturity that he neither wants nor expects any favours from Fernando Alonso this season. If Hamilton is to grace his maiden Formula One year with a win, he wants to be safe in the knowledge he beat McLaren team-mate and reigning double World Champion Alonso fair and square. Just three months ago, when Hamilton's rapid rise to Formula One stardom was confirmed, you would have received long odds from any bookmaker betting on such a prospect. But over the winter months, and his 165mph smash in testing at Valencia in January aside, Hamilton appears poised to be a worthy adversary to Alonso. The 22-year-old British rookie has been consistently quick, and on occasion has even outpaced the more experienced Spaniard. Admittedly, it is hard to read too much into testing times, but on the surface the signs are positive for Hamilton, who has long been groomed for success by McLaren boss Ron Dennis. Although he was GP2 Series champion last year, when those first five red lights disappear at Melbourne's Albert Park to signal the opening grand prix of the season, that is when Hamilton's mettle will be truly tested. "It's important to understand how tough a challenge it's going to be," conceded Hamilton. "But I feel I'm absolutely ready. I had a fantastic season winning the GP2 Series against some very experienced drivers, but I have nothing left to prove. "I know that F1 is going to be much tougher, but teaming up with Fernando is the best solution for me because I can learn so much from him. "The important thing is I feel I've done everything I can for the first race so I'm not sitting there and saying, 'We didn't do this, we didn't do that.' "I'm sure there will be mistakes, but you have to make mistakes to learn and become a better driver. "I know I'm going to be making certain mistakes. That's just the way it is in the sport." Hamilton's conviction, though, is unequivocal because when he says: "I know how to become the best. I just need time," you believe him. As to how quickly he becomes the best remains to be seen, but his focus is sharp and he is far removed from the world that revolves around a normal 22-year-old. "This is something I've wanted to do since...I can only imagine I was six when I saw Ayrton Senna racing for McLaren, and I sort of said I'd love to do that," recalled Hamilton. "Ever since I got in a kart I've always wanted to drive. You have to make sacrifices, which I was always willing to make, as long as I could drive. I'll do it all again if I have to." Appreciably, it helps when you have the support of someone such as Dennis, as Hamilton has for the last decade after being signed up on a development contract at the age of 12. An estimated ｣5million has since been spent on Hamilton, a project Dennis has described as his 'My Fair Lady experiment'. Hamilton is understandably grateful, adding: "I first met Ron when I was 10 years old at an Autosport Awards ceremony. "Listening to how he remembers the first time we met is special, and the faith, confidence and loyalty he's had in me over the years since has been key. "I think it's a nice story - or the end of one story and the beginning of a new chapter." Hamilton concedes his aim for this year "is simply to do a solid job for McLaren," but at the back of his mind you know he would love to savour a race victory. That would mean beating Alonso first and foremost, never mind the rest of the field, but Hamilton is confident without being cocky and brave without being brash. "At the end of the day I'm such a strong competitor. Whatever I do, I want to be up against the best and to beat the best," insisted Hamilton. "As I'm sitting next to the best, I'm able to compare myself to him, to learn from everything he does, to eventually trying to beat him. "But I'm very realistic. At the end of the day he is a two-time world champion and he is expected to be at the front. "Clearly if we're in a competitive car, and he has some problems, then for sure there'll be an opportunity to win. "But I'd prefer to be ahead of him, rather than him have a problem and me overtake. I'd rather be quicker than him, at the front and win."

Red Bull Addict Moderator 9,275 posts Joined: Jan 2005 From: KL. Best place in Malaysia. Nuff said	Massa Can Upstage everyone QUOTE Felipe Massa, and not Kimi Raikkonen, could be the one to win the World title for Ferrari this season, according to some F1 personalities. Massa has excelled in pre-season testing, dominating the timesheets at the recent test in Bahrain and breaking the circuit's lap record on the final day. However, for some, the Brazilian's rise, which also saw him win two grands prix last season, has come as a bit of a surprise. "I never believed Massa was so good," Renault team boss Flavio Briatore told Reuters. "If you asked me about Massa at the beginning of the season, I thought he was kind of medium. But give him the right car and he's terrific." The Ferrari driver has also received praise from former F1 driver Jacques Villeneuve. He recently told F1 Racing magazine: "Massa will probably take over as team leader. He did a really strong job last year, made a few mistakes but didn't look too shabby next to Michael. "He's intelligent, talented, quick. With the right equipment, he can be a title contender. Then we'll see if he's really a great, or just a good, driver. But he could be great." Another driver who believes Massa could challenge for this year's World title is reigning F1 Champ Fernando Alonso. "Everybody thought that Kimi (Raikkonen) was coming to Ferrari and staying ahead and being number one and now everybody's realised that Felipe is very quick as well," said Alonso last week. "For me it's not a surprise. Either of them can win."

I can see Kimi still struggling to makes himself comfortable with his new car. Same goes to Alonso. Anyway, Massa still a big contender to them to chase for the F1 title this year.

While Kimi had to stack up with Massa which had already established himself there, Fernando had Lewis, which like him, is new at the team, thus fitting in for him is easier

Red Bull Addict Moderator 9,275 posts Joined: Jan 2005 From: KL. Best place in Malaysia. Nuff said	Typo lor, DC at red bull. Look at the 1st post lor at the real line up Added on March 10, 2007, 12:45 amTrivia - There will be only 1 driver in the whole grid that has won the World Championship - This will be the first time since 1997 that the winning team from the previous season does not use the no 1 car. The last time was when Hill won the 96 World Championship but was dropped for Frentzen in 1997. He took the no 1 to Arrows - McLaren will run with an all new line up for the first time since Ron Dennis taken charge of the team - There will be 4 brits on the grid, making them the largest nationality from which a driver comes from. Next is German, which is 3. Ironically, if Nico Rosberg had been a Finn like his father, than it's the Finn that would be second. - Ferrari will be the only team sponsored by a Tobacco company - Only 4 teams on the grid are still the same team from which it started, which is Ferrari, McLaren, Williams, and Toyota. All the other teams are owned/known by a different name some time in their history. This post has been edited by linkinstreet: Mar 10 2007, 12:45 AM

His relationship with Todt, his mastering of the italian language, and the team already knows how to work with him, makes him the better driver in the team at the moment. Even during testing, he was significantly faster than Kimi, and it might take till half the season is over for Kimi to be able to find the pace needed to counter Massa. The black horse would be the McLaren team and the Renault

Whoaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!, tht's a gross overstatement there, i will agree tht Massa's focus can be kinda suspect but there is no way Kimi is stronger in da head than Massa, i think Mr.Allen scored this one wrong, if Massa gets out front there's no one on the grid wif a prayer of catchin him save for Alonso, he's got a fire in the belly n lookin at the grid there's very few driver's this season tht have em, Schuey n Alonso had em by the bucketloads, Kubica's showin glimpses of it, Rosberg at times, gotta keep a look out for Kovaleinen n Hamilton though All in all my paws r gettin really itchy for some F1 action, 1 month n a week n countin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Red Bull Addict Moderator 9,275 posts Joined: Jan 2005 From: KL. Best place in Malaysia. Nuff said	1 month? dude, it's next weekend. anyways, i think what monsouer James Allen meant was that in the head is regard on how a driver will react and drive using a car. While I have no complaint on how massa drives now (it's much better than the old Sauber massa), Kimi can drive the sock of any car he has his hand on. the only problem is that even tho he is fast, he just don't have the ability to setup the car. He usually leaves it to his engineer, which means that if the engineer cannot find the right balance, he's on for a shitty weekend. OT It reminds me that Alain Prost was so good at setting up his car, that Senna just copied from him, which while it was a good thing for Senna, was not such a good one for Prost to see his teammate beating him so easily using his setup. He tried to change this at the 1988 Belgian GP, where he made a last minute adjustment to his wing. Bad mistake. he lost ground to senna in the race and that was the last time he made a last minute adjustment to his setup in his career. Senna meanwhile learning from Prost's ability adapted it to his style, which means that when Prost lef't for Ferrari, Senna has mastered Prost's car tuning ability

Nuff said	Renault cannot win in Aussie GP Pat Symonds admits this year's Australian GP victory is out of reach for Renault's two drivers. Although Renault won the Melbourne event the past two years running, the Anglo/French squad concedes that they are not in a position to claim a third successive victory. They have struggled for pace in pre-season testing, with Giancarlo Fisichella recently revealing that their new car, the R27, is as much as half a second off the pace of the Ferraris and McLarens. And it's because of their lack of pace that Symonds admits Renault are unlikely to win this Sunday's race. "I think we are being realistic about our performance at the moment. We know we are not in the same position as we were twelve months ago," Symonds said. "But we were encouraged by the results of our final pre-season test in Bahrain. There are still areas to work on in order to improve the car, and we know what we have to do. "We expect 2007 to be a tough battle - but we are ready for the fight." However, for the Melbourne race, Fisichella says Renault will most likely be fighting for a podium finish, and not the race victory. "If we cannot fight for the win, I will be trying to out-score my rivals, and finish on the podium if it is possible," the Roman said. He added: "I want to score as many points as possible in the early races of the year." Renault's second driver this year with Finnish rookie Heikki Kovalainen, who is hoping for a fault-less start to his F1 career and maybe even a few points. "I am expecting a tough race. I am preparing for every possibility, and I know that I will have to push right to the limit," he said. "With the team, we will have to find the perfect set-up for the R27 to get maximum potential out of the car. "From a personal point of view, I want to get to the finish without any problems and finish in the points. I think that would be a good start."

If there is any driver who thinks there is more incentive to stop in the middle rather than finish a race then imo he doesn't deserve to drive an F1 car. It comes down to sportsmanship at the end. It's like saying a football team that is losing 5-0 should just leave the pitch since there is no incentive to continue playing. And btw sponsors do provide F1 teams with alot of money and they do expect something in return. Getting as much airtime as possible is never a bad thing. So there's the monetary incentive for u.

Red Bull Addict Moderator 9,275 posts Joined: Jan 2005 From: KL. Best place in Malaysia. Nuff said	remember the Minardi team? they survived long and hard in F1, even tho they do not seem to have any chance to win. It's the appeal of racing in F1 that matters, not the money. same with the Wolf team of the late 70's and 80's, where they have no experience in racing, just a deep love for it. Then again, F1 teams are paid at the end of the season according to points, thus even 1 point is important for the tail end teams. during the old scoring days, the tail end was much more furious than today as the solitary point was harder to acheive, ecspecially if the top 3 team manages to get all of their cars to finish.

Before that tv3 always show only at 10(with race starting only at 10:30) and last year 8tv even delay broadcast for some qualifying/races untill after their news finish. I've been reading reports about Singapore talking with Bernie Ecclestone about hosting a race. You guys think if Sepang's contract to host F1 won't be renewed? If no more Sepang, sure no more broadcast.

Yes, our race in 99 was because the PM want's the appeal of F1, but we did hard to get the race years before that. Hanifah yoong (aka Alex's dad) even invited some of the FIA superiors to check out Batu 3 in the early 90s. Even Senna come and tested the track, thus we know what we were doing. Singapore meanwhile didn't have a long history of motorsport. Heck, they have to go to Pasir Gudang to race if they wanted to. And even if they have F1, i doubt teh singaporeans will ever be able to use that track, and Pasir Gudang will still be the cheaper and easier option for them.

The rule is that while 1 team cannot build car for another, it does say that 1 company can provide car to 2 teams. Teh cars are built by Red bull Engineering, and not Red bull Racing. Also, different engines means that both cars will be different anyways.

Nuff said	Alonso confident of 3rd title QUOTE World champion Fernando Alonso is confident his switch from Renault to McLaren will enable him to pursue a third successive championship title. The 25-year-old is part of a new-look McLaren team alongside hot British prospect Lewis Hamilton, and much is expected of the new MP4-22 car. And, ahead of the opening race of the season in Australia this weekend, Alonso admits he feels at home with his new team. "At McLaren I have found a great atmosphere," he said. "The people are really very focused on the target to come back with success and to regain the dominant position in Formula One, and I have to say thanks to the team for all the huge work they did in the winter. "They have improved and developed the car a lot compared to last year. "They work day and night and I think we arrive here in Australia with a really competitive car and I think we can fight for victory. "I feel really, really happy with the move and really confident for the championship." Alonso will be keen to ensure his tenure at McLaren gets off to a good start at Albert Park in Melbourne. The Oxfordshire resident seems to perform well on the circuit and won the race last year on the way to his second drivers' title. But he admits it is difficult to make any predictions as to who will be challenging at the top of the points table. He added: "To be honest, I've always had very good races here in Melbourne. In 2005 I started 16th and finished third, last year I won here. "But I think this year we arrive with a very interesting championship, very open in the first races. "Ferrari has been the strongest, especially the last part of the winter, but last year we saw in some tests that Ferrari was very, very quick in August and September and then we arrived at races and everything was really, really close between all of us. "The important thing is our team will be there in the fight and then it's up to us to do the job." One of the biggest changes to the rules this season is the uniform use of Bridgestone tyres. Each team receive just two specifications of tyres in each race and both have to be used during an event. And Alonso believes it could cause a few surprises this season, with drivers able to take advantage over those who have been used to Michelin rubber. He said: "I think there's a big difference in the cars now with the new tyres and I think it's the same for everybody. "We've lost grip, performance and I think the driving style is a little bit more complex and a little bit different. "I think all the Michelin drivers, including me, have been used to them and we accommodate our driving style to suit the Michelin tyres and I think new drivers who have come in this year have a big advantage because they don't have past experience of Michelin tyres. "It has been a very long winter and now finally here we are at the first race and now it's time to put everything on the table." While Hamilton feels that they don't need to be afraid of Ferrari QUOTE McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton insists he is unconcerned by Ferrari's promising form over the winter testing period ahead of the curtain raiser in Melbourne on Sunday. Ferrari set the pace in testing in Bahrain last month but rising British star Hamilton has been pleased with his own team's efforts and insists anything could happen this weekend. "We have done all the testing that has been needed and we have arrived here very optimistic about the weekend and with our package," he said. "If you do look at the testing then Ferrari have been reasonably quick in their last few tests, so some could say that Ferrari are the strongest at the moment. "But you don't know what programme they are on so we won't know until tomorrow or Saturday exactly who is where, but I am sure we are going to be very competitive." Hamilton has been participating in an intense testing period since stepping up to full-time driver as McLaren strive to ensure their new MP4-22 car will perform to the best of its ability at Albert Park. And though he knows there is still room for improvement, the 22-year-old is confident it will continue to get better as the season progresses. Hamilton added: "All the preparations have gone really well, we have covered a lot of mileage and it has been a pretty intense winter testing. "Obviously I have done testing in winter before but with us developing a new car we have had to be in it near enough every week just to maximise the mileage and learn as much as I can. "We have got a solid package and we have made some really good steps forward. "There is still room for improvement but I am sure throughout the season we will improve on that." Button meanwhile said that Honda cannot even get into the top 10 QUOTE Jenson Button has written off Honda's chances of success at this weekend's Australian Grand Prix. Honda struggled for pace during pre-season testing, especially over one lap, which has led to Button predicting that neither himself nor team-mate Rubens Barrichello will be able to achieve a top-10 grid slot on Saturday. "It's not a nice way to start a season. Arriving with a car that isn't challenging for victory hurts," Button said. "Here I can't see us qualifying in the top 10. The Briton, though, does believe Honda can make up some places during Sunday's grand prix, however, doubts that it will be enough to challenge for a podium finish, never mind the race victory. "I think if we have a good race - because we are very reliable and some of the teams aren't - I can see us finishing in the top 10. "We're not going to get on the podium, we're not going to win the race." In fact Button even went as far as to claim that this weekend's race will be more of a test session for Honda than a grand prix. "It's an important race but it's not about the end result," he continued. "We've got to look at the areas where we're lacking and the areas where we need to work on compared to the top teams. "It's more of a big test session for us, to learn why we're so far off.

A smart kid. Has a helicopter licence He's rookie of the year I reckoned. Another Kimi in the making. And he speaks better english than Kimi QUOTE Heikki Kovalainen DOB:19/10/1981 Place of birth:Suomussalmi, Finland Nationality:Finnish Height:1.72 m Weight:66 kg Likes:Pasta, sport, girls, fast cars Hobbies:Gym, cycling, cross-country skiing, golf Status:single Heroes:None Ambitions:Race seat in Formula 1 Heikki started his motor racing career karting in the early 90's. Recognition came with finishing runner-up in the Finnish Formula A championship in 1999 and 2000. That year also saw Heikki adding the Scandinavian championship and winning the Elf Masters at Paris Bercy to his achievements earning him title of Karting Driver of the Year in his native Finland. Heikki's success saw him move up to the British Formula Renault Championship in 2001, bringing two wins, two poles and three fastest laps, enough to give him fourth place in the Championship plus "Rookie of the Year" award 2001 by the Finnish Automobile Sports Federation. That same year, Heikki made his F3 debut, at the Macau Grand Prix, finishing 8th. In 2002 Heikki moved on to compete in the British F3 Championship with five wins, 3 poles and 3 fastest laps securing 3rd position in drivers' standings, he was once again announced "Rookie of the Year", and won the prestigious support race at the British Grand Prix. He also finished second in Macau and fourth in the Marlboro Masters at Zandvoort. In 2003 Heikki went to Japan to contest in the World Series by Nissan: a win and two poles were enough to get 2nd place in the Championship. That same year he also made his F1 test debut driving the Renault R23 at Barcelona and then the Minardi Cosworth during the Vallelunga test session just a couple of weeks later. The next year saw Heikki as the 2004 World Series by Nissan champion. Driving for the Pons Team he crushed the opposition securing 6 wins, 9 poles and 10 fastest laps competing alongside Tiago Monteiro, Enrique Bernoldi and Narain Karthikeyan. As a member of the Renault Driver Development Program Heikki assisted with the development of Renault's championship winning R24. Q & A with Heikki Q: Who do you like to hang out with in the F1? A: Kimi I saw Mika talked to Kimi in Sepang while he's in the McLaren and Kimi in Sauber. I guess anyone would love to see a fellow countrymen..I know I would.

Will the two(2) Saubers shows extra special pace difference is that last year, they are no where at the top during Q2, so heavy or light, they just didn't have the pace. But this time, I'm quite worry as they did top the timesheet, although we don't know what tyres both are using. Alonso seems to be wasting his tyres alot, and maybe the Ferrari are using their harder compound, maybe McLaren is just fast, its still hard to tell.

Just wth is Honda doin to both their teams? The eco-frenly team becomes slow, n the earth-killer team becomes fast? Is this a joke to say there's no way being frenly to earth makes the car goes fast ie in reference to the saying: "Biar lambat asalkan selamat (bumi kite drp terlebih CO2)"? I laughed seeing the Honda car become "earth-saviour", n now they're telling us to drive slowly to further save the earth.

Not oni did it not race at all, it didn't pass the crash test!! Millions of (testing and racing) km vs thousands of (testing) km, and in terms of safety, MP4-17D vs MP4-18, the clear winner is (or rather was) the former!! Too bad I gave up on them since they announced they're gonna hire that ape n when Kimi announced the most anticipated announcement into the Ferrari team. Despite that, I'll still watch over my ex-fav team, just to hope Lewis will shame that ape. Sato might be light on fuel, or maybe he's on the soft compound, so somehow, I feel Anthony will beat him eventually in the race. W/e it may be, Kimi ftw!!

Red Bull Addict Moderator 9,275 posts Joined: Jan 2005 From: KL. Best place in Malaysia. Nuff said	Spyker is trying to get the Super Aguri banned for tomorrow's race. and I don't blame them really. Even the Torro Rosso was quite better than the Red Bull. The loser IMO was Massa. I was sure he could (and should) have gotten the pole My prediction: McLaren uses the Semi-Soft compound during the start of the race, and went for a long stint. Kimi meanwhile start on the same tyre, but for a shorter (2 laps maybe) than the Macca, and both will then use the soft compound. The McLaren will then try to take advantage with a lower fuel during this stint, while the BMW's will hold up Massa, who has risen up through the field. This will take Fisico into the race and he will pass massa at the end End result McLaren 1-2 (Fernando or Lewis, both seems equally fast), Kimi 3rd (or 2nd, depend on his drive), both BMW Sauber 4th and 5th, and then Fisico

Confirmed, longer wheelbase. Don't have pictures but I have the measurements. For the 248 F1, it was 3050mm, now the F2007 has 3135mm. This post has been edited by tunertoobe: Mar 17 2007, 09:00 PM

Overtake those Mecca's. QUOTE(tokdukun @ Mar 17 2007, 07:10 PM) To be honest, I'm completely surprised to see Super Aguri topping both Honda, Sato is at a higher grid than Anthony!!! Just wth is Honda doin to both their teams? The eco-frenly team becomes slow, n the earth-killer team becomes fast? Is this a joke to say there's no way being frenly to earth makes the car goes fast ie in reference to the saying: "Biar lambat asalkan selamat (bumi kite drp terlebih CO2)"? I laughed seeing the Honda car become "earth-saviour", n now they're telling us to drive slowly to further save the earth. Hm....this means one thing: We edi hv the best joker of the year Sato in top 10? hehe... QUOTE(tunertoobe @ Mar 17 2007, 07:41 PM) Nothing much, just a normal game(F1 challenge 2005) with steering wheels as control. Everyone was crashing, and when it was my turn, I wondered how did the crash?? 3 people got the fastest laps, 4th including me, and we're all grown ups. Most others are kids. The biggest bummer is that, you're playing a Renault. 1st time palying a racing game with the steering wheel, I think I'll buy 1. Ferrari gamble using new car and not last years car which was very competitive. I guess they know what they're doing.

What? Senior Member 4,251 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Malacca, Malaysia, Earth	QUOTE(linkinstreet @ Mar 17 2007, 08:40 PM) Spyker is trying to get the Super Aguri banned for tomorrow's race. and I don't blame them really. Even the Torro Rosso was quite better than the Red Bull. The loser IMO was Massa. I was sure he could (and should) have gotten the pole My prediction: McLaren uses the Semi-Soft compound during the start of the race, and went for a long stint. Kimi meanwhile start on the same tyre, but for a shorter (2 laps maybe) than the Macca, and both will then use the soft compound. The McLaren will then try to take advantage with a lower fuel during this stint, while the BMW's will hold up Massa, who has risen up through the field. This will take Fisico into the race and he will pass massa at the end End result McLaren 1-2 (Fernando or Lewis, both seems equally fast), Kimi 3rd (or 2nd, depend on his drive), both BMW Sauber 4th and 5th, and then Fisico On what grounds? Aguri car is completely legit right it's a shame if they want to beat others by getting them banned. Spyker isn't all that top team or experienced team anyway. BTW, i think Kimi stands an equal chance of winning, depending of Ferrari's pace. He did complained the car did not handle as well as he wanted to, but nevertheless, it has good pace in it. Oh boy, i wish Ross was still around. his strategy had won michael many race in harder times where their car isn't the fastest on track QUOTE(tunertoobe @ Mar 17 2007, 08:52 PM) Longer wheelbase? Probably for better braking stability and to make it more stable in fast corners. Confirmed, longer wheelbase. Don't have pictures but I have the measurements. For the 248 F1, it was 3050mm, now the F2007 has 3135mm. if I'm not mistaken, it is longer than the older ferrari car, but when compare to others, its not that much longer, since ferrari had always have shorter base in the pass...

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 9,309 posts Joined: May 2005 From: Sabah-Australia-Shah Alam.	With a longer wheelbase, they are trading off agility for stability. Just hope it works. But a stable car can give the driver more confidence when they want to push it to the max. They can even play around with the aero more now that their car has a stabler platform.

But its really strange for a newcomer to suddenly go attacking other teams lol. They certainly aren't making any friends now...
