Naujienos, gandai...

Countless are the number of times drivers have worn rivals' boots, gloves, even fireproof underpants. Perhaps the most obvious example I can recall of drivers helping each other out was when David Coulthard ran Michael Schumacher's helmet in the 1996 Monaco Grand Prix. The Scot's visor had been misting up and with no quick fix, the reigning champ had simply lent his rival a spare.

Next years F1 cars will feature 360° cameras. They will be mounted on the chassis - right in front of the Halo. Mandatory on all cars.

Roberto Cinchero from Sky Italia is saying that he will be very surprised if he won't be on the grid in Melbourne. He thinks everything is done, they are working on contract now. In his oppinion Sirotkin will be reserve driver and it is already done - signed but it will be confirmed later. Aldona Marciniak from Eleven TV was yesterday on Renault 40th anniversary party and she said that people in Renault told her they were in shock when they saw how fast was Kubica in Valencia. Then he did great job at Hungaroring but then new opportunity happend (I guess engine saga and Sainz) so they were "trapped". Also Will Buxton said Kubica chances are about 98% :)

Lauda told in RTL that Wehrlein won't be on the grid next year and will be great to see Kubica back in action

McLaren in turbo-hybrid era:
- 24% Races with Mercedes PU (19).
- 76% Races with Honda PU (60).
- 57% of Points got from Mercedes (181).
- 43% of Points got from Honda (133).

McLaren kvalifikacijoje naudojo specialu Hondos engine mode'a. Ta pati Q mode'a Alonso panaudojo Massos aplenkimui.

Brundle says this is the performance of the IC (internal combustion only): Mercedes Ref.
Ferrari - 2%, Renault - 6%, Honda - 11%

"We all saw how he operated in Formula 1 in the past - he's a great driver, very professional, very committed, enthusiastic, very intelligent. He's an exciting prospect, that's why we're looking at him," said Lowe.

"We're in a process with Robert, which is a matter of evaluating whether his injuries will have an impact on his ability to drive in Formula 1, it's as simple as that."

Lowe said only a few modifications, including shifting up and down with the same paddle, have had to be made to the steering wheel ahead of Kubica's test.

"There are a few changes we'll make for switch gear and so on," he said. "In actual fact, most drivers tune that to their preferences anyway.

"In most teams, you'll find the steering wheel is different between the two drivers.

Jis gali sedeti ant kedes, vaikscioti ir net pasukti vaira. Nerealu.

32 laps on the board as Robert posts a 1:41.296 putting him 5th quickest as we approach midday.

Tik neaisku su soft ar medium laikas

Oh no - ka tai galetu reiksti? Reikes dar vienu testu?

pasirodo - neklydau - Williams "neskubes" su pasirinkimu.

Kubica stints were "very impressive" Tomorrow will be low fuel runs chasing time.

IMHO bus labai labai labai keista, jei Kubica nebus pasirinktas. Niekaip negali but, kad jie analizuoja Kubica VS Sirotkina for a race seat.

Dar buvo mineta kaip "exceptionally impressive"+ "Robert as always gave an excellent technical feedback".

Laukiam rytojaus popietes

Kam nepatinka neskaitykit:

RK vaziavo su FM arba su LS nustatymais, nes taip reikalavo Pirelli. RK noretu keisti automobilio reguliavimus, bet deja _negalima_

Lewis: "The hyper soft is the best tire from Pirelli since their return to F1. The others are still too hard, but we are heading in the right direction."

Sauber will enter 2018 with the name Alfa Romeo for the Ferrari engine. And with Charles Leclerc as a new fast man based on Roger Benoit and it will be announced today.

Santander is to terminate its partnership with Ferrari, and Formula 1 as a whole, after signing a new sponsorship deal with the UEFA Champions League.

rezultatai, iki pasimatymo 2018-ais

Viskas? Pasiplauni? Nelauksi Roberto isventinimo?

Gal kas placiau zinot apie galinius f1 zibintus? Kiek suprantu per testus pas naujokus be super licenzijos dege zaliai. Pas Kubica jei neklystu dege raudonai, kas reikstu arba kad jau turi super licenzija arba tiesioge nera laikomas naujoku :)

YZF > viskas, gavau is Martini siunta (sampano palete ir atvirukas su RK autografu), tai dabar jau tik po nauju ;))

Linas Kriuka >> Su Kubicos galiniu žibintu buvo įdomiai. Pirmą dieną buvo raudonas (galimas tiem, kas turi superlicenciją), o vat antrą dieną tas pusantros valandos buvo pastebėtas žalias (jei neturi superlicencijos), todėl jau teko girdėti daug diskusijų kaip čia yra. Problema tame, kad jei turi superlicenciją tai gali naudoti ir raudoną ir žalią, bet jei neturi, tai tik žalią (su raudona gresia bauda). Sakoma, jog Williams tiesiog neturėjo laiko pakeist spalvos, bet kaip ten buvo greičiausiai kol kas nesužinosim.

Williams daznai neturi laikrodzio padangas, kad galetu laiku grazinti Pirelli per FP (kiek baudu siemet gavo), tai nestebintu, kad ir zibinto nerado.

Šiokie tokie statai ir sky vertinimas - http://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/11116592/formula-1-2017-grading-the-teams

Britai nebutu britai. Williams ir Renault ivertinti vienodai... Nepaisant to, kad vieni ir toliau ritosi zyn, o kiti aiskiai kapstesi i virsu.

AF1 > McLaren davė D- - mažiausią iš visų, nors tikra britų komanda. Viskas daugiau-mažiau normaliai su tais įvertinimais. Renault yra gamyklinė komanda, o Williams garažistai, tad įvertinimas atitinka ir projektuojamą pajėgumą. O C yra prastas įvertinimas, bet kuriuo atveju, nes potencialo komanda turi tikrai daugiau, nei dvigubai atsilikt nuo Force India, kuri gavo A, nors šiemet tik 4-i, bet užtat viską išspaudžia iš savo turimo biudžeto.

Speedweek writes that Williams engineers are amazed by Kubica and they feel like he was with the team for years. Kubica brought setup ideas that they never received from either Massa or Bottas.

AF1 -> Tai kaip ten, nežinai, patiko Kubicai Meksikos GP live stebėt ? :)

WOW....

Man pernai teko buti Sauberyje ir bendrauti su personalu, tai kai klausiau vieno is inzinieriu, kas ju nuomone buvo greiciausias is pas juos vaziavusiu pilotu,

bet jokiu pamastymu pasake, kad Kubica. Sake, jog artimas greiciu galetu butu Kimis, visi kiti buvo priskirti vidutiniokams tame tarpe ir Vilnevas. Massa i F-1 papuole tik del to, kad atnese daugiau babkiu nei konkuruojantis pilotas.

AF1 > na jis po pirmos dienos Abu Dabyje taip diplomatiskai pasake, kad komanda iki siol naudojo labai kitokia bolido reguliavimo filosifija, kas irgi yra tam tikra patirtis. Suprask peace of .... o ne reguliavimas :)

Kubicos developmento skillsais niekas neabejoja (isskyrus sedincius tanke), bet vat overall jo greitis ir buvo tu testu esme. Butent greitis/tempas, o ne isvedziojimai apie sveikata ir rankos bukle.

Budkowski's gardening leave has now been dou***, as Renault and the FIA look to take weight off the situation. Renault managing director Cyril Abiteboul told Autosport: "I will confirm exactly what is going on, and he will be in Enstone on April 1."
