  1. news of the day pf1 mark webber and his opinion on quitting retiring "It might look as if it took a long time to sort out, and I was weighing up various possibilities. But in the end the contract talks were done very quickly," he told the BBC. "I've been an integral part of Red Bull since the start and I still enjoy it there. It would have been a mistake to stop racing." Webber has yet to win a grand prix this season while his team-mate Sebastian Vettel already has seven victories to his name. Webber, though, is adamant he still has the ability and the drive to challenge his team-mate and hopes to prove that before the season is over. "I'm still driving well. I had a bit of a slow start to this year because it took me a little while to get on top of the new tyres. I'm looking forward to taking on Seb - and everyone else - again next year. "But this year isn't over yet. There are still seven races to go, starting with Monza next weekend, and anything can still happen." every one's talking up vettel. David Coulthard "Well, I think we could well be witnessing the development of the best driver ever in Formula One. We can't say yet, of course. Only history will judge that. But the fact that Seb continues to improve every aspect of his game, from race craft to tyre management, building on his natural speed, is indisputable. Fernando Alonso "Sebastian is a great Champion, who is in the process of winning his second title," Alonso told German Sport Bild magazine. "He has a lot of talent and the capability of withstanding pressure." In fact, Alonso is so impressed with Vettel's performances he says he wouldn't object to the 24-year-old one day joining Ferrari. "A lot of drivers want to come to Ferrari. Sebastian would definitely be welcome," he said. "One day, why not. If you have not driven for Ferrari, your career is not complete." did anyone else 'lol' at the last two lines?
  2. more pf1 if schumi's happy i'm happy. "I was very happy with how the whole weekend went," Schumacher told the Times of India. "It was nice to see that such a lot of people were happy for me, and I very much appreciate their attitude. "The way the race went in the end made up big time for the disappointment in qualifying and we are geared to go to Monza now." Later in the season, though, F1 will pay its first visit to India with the Buddh International Circuit hosting the country's inaugural grand prix on October 30th. Asked for his thoughts on F1 'breaking new ground' into India, he said: "I can only repeat myself in saying again that F1 is a World Championship. So the more continents and countries involved, the better it is in my view.
  3. pf1 Newly-crowned GP2 Champ Romain Grosjean is eager to return to F1 next season "There is no rule unfortunately!" he told Lotus Renault's website. "I want to go back to Formula One, of course, but at the moment nothing has been decided. "My management, LRGP or the team Dams have been intelligent because they knew that in 2009 after the third race of the season, I was only thinking about F1. "This year, I did not want to make the same mistake so I kept my focus on GP2 exclusively. I have been to the F1 paddock as little as possible to focus here. "Now that we are Champions, I will have a look at what is going on upstairs, but at the moment, my main concern is to find a good contract for 2012 and nothing else. "At least we still have a few months to think about it. Hopefully I can get a good seat in good conditions." what do you think his chances are?

  8. news of the day pf1 jb hasn't ginen up yet "I'm a racing driver, and I know how these things can suddenly change around, so I know that it's never over 'til it's over," the 31-year-old said during the Vodafone VIP Live Q&A at the Manchester demo run. "It would be disappointing to think that he's uncatchable. There are still seven races remaining - that's 175 points if you won them all - and you never know what might happen, so it's definitely still game on." Lotus-Renault GP team owner Gerard Lopez admits he is surprised by Nick Heidfeld's decision to take legal action against the team. Heidfeld has decided to go down the legal route after Renault handed his race seat to Bruno Senna for the rest of the season. His hearing is expected to take place in three weeks and the German is confident he will come out victorious. "Well if we would not be confident that we had a case then we wouldn't follow it up, so yes I believe that is the situation," he told BBC Sport during the Belgian Grand Prix. Lopez, whose Genii Capital is the majority shareholder in Renault, told the Tageblatt Luxembourg that Heidfeld's performances before his axing were below par. "He had all the normal pressures and we told him that it was not, in our opinion, what we expected from him," he said. "He was always treated us with respect and he will continue to do so because he is still member of the team." When asked if he was surprised by Heidfeld's decision to go to court, Lopez replied: "I'd say that was the emotional reaction of a man who likes to race for a living. Surprising, yes."
  9. that's what i said, or tried to say.
  10. drs zones for monza. pf1 The moveable rear wing technology can be deployed on the start/finish straight at Monza with the detection point on the exit of the Parabolica while the second DRS zone will be between the second Lesmo and the Ascari chicane with the detection point between the Lesmos. jb wants to extend his contract. "All he has to do is say yes, and I will say yes because I want to be here next year. Adrian Newey felt Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber's safety were under threat due to the blistering to the option tyres. "Pirelli were telling us after qualifying that our tyres were very marginal and they wouldn't say whether it was after half a lap or five laps, but they were going to fail," he is quoted in The Telegraph as saying. "I have to say it was one of the scariest races I've been involved in, it was heart-in-the-mouth stuff, as first and foremost our duty of care is to the drivers' safety. "And trying to make that call in making sure the car was safe, while not handicapping ourselves from a performance point of view, was quite a difficult judgement to make. "Frankly at the end of the race I was very relieved that both our drivers were safe." Pirelli motor sport chief Paul Hembery has hit back and insists Red Bull were at fault as they were running camber outside of a recommended four-degree limit laid down by the Italian company. "We've never had a safety issue. It was created by two things - one, the lack of running on Friday (because of wet weather) and, two, going to the limits of our recommendations," Hembery said. Newey though replied: "Obviously if we had known there was a safety concern about it, we wouldn't have done it..."
  11. wow an oil pump now this.

  14. read this allgood?
  15. news of to day pf1 ferrari are crying about tyres "We know what is our Achilles Heel and we have to continue to work on it: we have made up ground in some areas, but on this one - I refer to the ideal window of operation for the tyres - we are still lagging behind," said the team boss. Hamilton has given up "Everyone should forget about the title because it is not going to happen," Hamilton said. red bull still think anyone can win it "There will be no complacency. We are heads down, focused on the next race - and not thinking anything is done and dusted at this point of time." (Christian Horner) Martin Whitmarsh is defendind hamilton (again) "Lewis is someone who attracts extremes, who is a passionate, immensely competitive, exciting racing driver," Whitmarsh said. "People know they have to commit quite heavily to get past him, and he is always going to commit to go past them. "Lewis Hamilton makes Formula One a more exciting place to be, so we should all hope Lewis continues to be one of the most exciting racing drivers any of us have seen. I don't want to change him. "Yes, he's had some disappointments recently, but the new Lewis has handled those very well. He is learning, developing. "But he is a racing driver who is competitive, which people were saying throughout most of Ayrton Senna's career, the same with Michael Schumacher. "For all those committed, competitive drivers, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't." (will get those bikini pics up soon)
  16. niki on lewis pf1 "Lewis is one of the best drivers in Formula One if he would stop making stupid mistakes," he told the Guardian. As for this year's title race, Lauda believes Sebastian Vettel's victory at Spa, which saw him take 92-point lead in the Drivers' Championship, has sealed it for the Red Bull driver. "It's certainly all over," the Austrian told The Telegraph. "No question about it, the only question is when. It could happen theoretically in Singapore. It could easily happen in Japan but for sure in Korea if not before." he's getting it from all sides isn't he.
  17. kubica update pf1 The Polish driver suffered severe injuries in a rally accident in February, which damaged his leg, arm and shoulder. He underwent four separate surgeries during his 10 week stay in an Italian hospital. Since his release, Kubica has been at home in Monaco recovering and working on his rehabilitation. However, it soon discovered that he would need a fifth operation to restore full mobility to his right elbow. That surgery took place on Sunday with his Lotus Renault GP team revealing that he is in "good spirits." A Renault statement read: "Today, Robert underwent one last scheduled operation in Italy aimed at recovering the full mobility of his right elbow. "The surgeons are happy to report they been able to complete 100% of their task and did not encounter any complications. "They have described the outcome of the operation as a total success. "On waking up it was immediately clear Robert was in good spirits. As soon as he opened his eyes he asked for the result of today's race (the Belgian Grand Prix). "He will now rest in hospital for a few days before resuming his rehabilitation and training programme." he seams in good spirits.

  23. mark webber pf1 "My start was shocking - I dropped lever and the car stalled, so that was disappointing," he said. "It put me on the back foot knowing we would stop early to get rid of the set of tyres. The team handled things really well. It was not an easy grand prix for the crew on the pit wall. But it was a good result and I enjoyed the race." Webber had a couple of close shaves when he was battling Ferrari's Fernando Alonso. "Most of the race was charged with frustration from the start," he said. "We were obviously very, very close through Eau Rouge, I used some KERS, got a tow and thought I might have a chance. "We didn't give much easy, it was a good battle. It was rewarding that it worked okay, but it takes two guys to get it right. You can do it with Fernando - he is a world class guy and knows when enough is enough." The 35-year-old added that the result was one of the best for Red Bull following some pre-race concerns. Several teams wanted to use fresh rubbers during the first stint due to blistering problems in qualifying, but the request was denied. Red Bull were forced to pit both Webber and Vettel very early due to the problems, but still managed to claim a 1-2. "The team result today was probably one of our best results ever as a team," he said. "It was stressful last night, and a stressful morning, handled very well - putting drivers right in the discussions to understand how we can get through the grand prix as safely as possible, us giving them feedback on how tyres looked."
  24. post race drivers excuses pf1 Bruno Senna: "Unfortunately I made a mistake in the first corner, which cost me the chance of really causing a stir at the top end for the remainder of the race. So, firstly I would like to say sorry to Jaime (Alguersuari) for that. I made a mistake in the braking area, so that meant I slipped back and couldn't compete where I wanted to; this left me quite lonely at the back for a while! However, once I'd paid the price with the drive through penalty I was able to start making some progress and my race pace was actually quite strong, so I kept pushing and was pleased with how I drove from then on. Obviously I would like to have finished higher, considering my grid position, but I've now got a good pace to build on and take me through to Monza, which is another of my favourite tracks. We'll sit down and learn where we can improve but the foundations are there." Kamui Kobayashi: "Of course I expected to score some points today. My start was good and I had a couple of nice fights. On the straights I was actually slower than expected, but I don't know yet why this was. It was also hard to survive with the soft tyres and I was under pressure from Vitaly Petrov. Regarding the accident with Lewis Hamilton, which happened when I was running in fourth, I knew perfectly well he was faster than me so had no reason to fight with him. After he overtook me it was not my intention to get my position back, so I stayed on my line and didn't expect him to move over. When I pitted on the second lap behind the Safety Car I lost an awful lot of positions. Anyway, the long stint on the medium tyres in the end worked well, but then I was too far away from the points." Daniel Ricciardo: "I can't be fully satisfied because it has been a short race for me but at least the time I was out there was really positive. I made a good start and then benefited from some incidents ahead but also made the right choice which let me pick up a few spots. The pace was quite good, a few of the faster cars ended up coming back through but we let them go without losing much time with our direct rivals. It was looking quite good ahead of the Virgins and Lotus. Unfortunately we had a problem with the rear which made us end the race prematurely. But there is no doubt that there are some positives to take. It would have been nice to finish but we've always got next time. From my side I'm happy with how the race was going and we will try to build on it for the next Grand Prix in Monza." Jaime Alguersuari: "I don't want to speak badly about any other driver as it's not my style, but I think the situation was quite clear to everyone. Going into the hairpin after the start, I was in the middle with Senna on my inside and Fernando on my outside and Senna completely missed his braking point and hit me which pushed me into the path of the Ferrari. However, there are many positive things we can take out of this weekend, as we clearly had a car capable of scoring many points today, which is a tribute to all the hard work of the team. I feel sorry for the guys, because starting sixth on the grid is not an everyday occurrence for us. Now I am looking forward to the next race in Monza, as I see no reason why we cannot be competitive there and score more points." Mark Webber: "The lights went out and I got anti-stall at the start - I don't know whether it was due to the start being uphill or not. We were worried about the tyres going into the race and had a lot of meetings this morning. In the end, the right decisions were made and the team reacted incredibly well and did some good research overnight to work out how we could best get through the race. We did a lot of damage to the tyres in qualifying and had to stop pretty early to protect ourselves from any issues from the tyre which put us out of position. We picked some people off, but in terms of the result I was after I was frustrated at that point. Then the safety car came out. The team wanted me to pit, but when I got the instructions of what to do in the pit lane I was the wrong side of the pit wall - I never heard the call to come in. I was worried, but we kept going and the car behaved well. I drove well from then on and we got a good result in what was one of the team's best ever one-two finishes. It was a great weekend for the team and they deserve this result." Jenson Button: "It wasn't as simple as just going from 13th to third today. At the start, somebody hit me at the rear and damaged a rear-wing endplate. At the exit of Turn One, there was debris everywhere, and somebody else's front wing went through my front wing and sliced my right-side mirror off. I also had to make an early pitstop, so it was hardly perfect! The team had a look at the data and saw that the damage was manageable, so I held on for a few more laps in order to make the strategy work. Then, after that, I drove flat-out to the end of the race. I think everybody had an issue with the front-left tyre, so it was tricky to know when to push. But my pace was pretty good considering the damage we had, and I really enjoyed attacking and passing people. Our car is the best it's been all year, and I feel better than I ever have in Formula 1. We just need to stop the little mistakes from happening so that we can win even more races. Hopefully, we can go out and fight for the win in Monza." Lewis Hamilton: "I was in a good position and I'd already got past one of the Ferraris, but then I was hit by Kamui [Kobayashi]. I don't really know what happened, but I hit the wall pretty hard and my race was immediately over. I was ahead, so I don't know why I got hit. There have been quite a few races this year where we've not finished, and this is another - but that's motor racing. At least our pace was reasonably good this weekend, so let's hope we can win more races in the remainder of the season." Michael Schumacher: "I think more than fifth place would not have been possible today but making up 19 places was a good feeling. With all my family, friends and fans here, it was an extra motivation, and I would like to thank all of them for their support. They saw an exciting race with a great strategy from our team. So all in all, for me, there was a lot of emotion and a lot of overtaking today. At the beginning I was a bit afraid that some of the flying parts might hit and damage my car, but I was lucky that nothing happened. After that, I had big fun hunting and making my way forward."
