iskasena Bernis, i savaite pasiulantis po kelis nauju varikliu variantus, orkestruoja toliau:
F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone says that Honda wants to supply Red Bull in 2016, but McLaren boss Ron Dennis is blocking the deal from happening.

Sios dienos ir artimiausiu keliu dienu TOP motorsport news bus Rossi VS Marquez @ Malaysian GP.
Oj bus reikalu...

O Bernie viska daro teisingai. Jei jis kazka sneka atvirai/oficialiai, vadinasi tam yra priezasciu.
Konkreciai siuo atveju - spusteleti Dennisa.

O cia pries lenktynes dar (MotoGP) kokie reikalai vyko:
https://youtu.be/-IDw_oKA1So

Man atrodo, čia ne prieš lenktynes buvo, o prieš šį savaitgalį, na bet, ne tame esmė. Tas reikalas, atrodo jau toks su juoku, tačiau viskas rimta, labiausiai patiko Lorenzo atsakymas. :D

Kas dėl šiandienos, tai vienareikšmiškai palaikau Rossi. Net neabejoju, kad MM galėjo važiuoti kartu su Lorenzo, o gal net ir jį aplenkti ir lenktyniauti su Pedrosa, tačiau jis akivaizdžiai pasirinko kelią, leisti pabėgti Lorenzo ir negana to, akivaizdžiai tyčia stumdėsi su italu. Galbūt Rossi pasielgė ne itin gražiai, bet tikrai teisingai.

Taip. Cia daugiau Race Director reiktu ziureti ne Rossi actions, o possi*** cartel agreement tarp Lorenzo ir Marquez investigation.
Buvo juodai ant balto matyt, kad lenktynes gadinamos ir Rossi stabdomas, o ne lenktyniaujama del pergales.

Ak tas Bernis - paspaude Mercedes su Ferrari (tyliai), o dabar garsiai paspaus nemegstama Dennisa - is principo as cute as Rossio veiksmas koja.
Priminsiu, kad Bernis kelis kartus uzsimine, kad Red Bull problema jau isspresta - svarbu, kad tradiciskai atvirai kalbejo bullshita. Anyway, ir tai yra palyginus 0 su zadamais 2.2 motorais is nepriklausomo gamintojo

Rosbergo agresyviausias sezono momentas :-D

Asked why he wasn't interested in the shenanigans, Kimi Raikkonen told Turun Sanomat newspaper: "Do you want a truthful answer?

"This is F1, not a circus. People come to see driving, and I think that's all we can do. This (rain delays) sometimes just happens.

"It doesn't bother me as everyone can do what he wants. But this is my choice. As I said, we are not in the circus," the Finn added.

Ferrari boss Maurizio Arrivabene backed the attitude of his driver.

"We are in F1, not Cirque du Soleil. We did not do the same 'show' but I can tell you that on Saturday we brought disa*** children in wheelchairs into our garage," the Italian insisted.

"It didn't show on the TV but we at least gave them something special," he added.

Bernie Ecclestone has revealed Red Bull served notice on Renault in the belief it had an engine supply deal with Mercedes following a meeting in July.

Signing Palmer was, therefore, a little out of place. The only suita*** explanation for this was that JP Jr has got the job because he was a*** to pay money up front, which helps the team to survive as it waits for the plodding process required as Renault takes over the Enstone team again. There is no real need to rush because Renault will not get anything much out of the rest of this year and so probably doesn’t want to pay for it. Once the season comes to a close I expect things to begin moving more quickly but again there is not much point in trying to rebrand the team for 2016 because that is going to be a rebuilding year and I suspect that the rebranding will not happen until 2017, when hopefully the team will be more solid and more competitive. It should by then have a stronger engineering staff, a new team principal (Bonjour Fréderic Vasseur), and at least one big name driver. If you can cast your mind back 15 years, you may remember that Renault bought Benetton Formula in March 2000, but it was not relaunched as Renault F1 until the start of 2002.

It should be noted, however, that the Ferrari veto did not get invented last week, but rather was granted back in January 2005, by Jean Todt’s predecessor as FIA President, Max Mosley. That arrangement was due to expire in December 2012, but Todt agreed to let it continue, a piece of information that perhaps gives the impression that the FIA was entirely complicit in the process.

FI is Bernie praso 10mln usd isankstinio mokejimo. Kad toks butu galimas, turi pritarti visos komandos. Dvi nepritare.

http://www.motorsport.com/motogp/news/opinion-rossi-reaped-what-he-sowed-at-sepang/

labai geras straipsnis Rossi fanams - kai kuriems gal kazkiek akys atsimerks ir ne tik matys visur Marquezo vaiduoklius. Galejo gal tik dar dadeti apie pries tai buvusius Rossi zygius pasiaiskinti santykius su Pedrosa pituose ir pan, nors tai, aisku, nera officialy confirmed.

The VW/Audi factor was one of the keys in what followed. Wolff is believed to have eventually convinced the Mercedes board that working with and giving its IP to a team that could morph into a works Audi project was not a sound business plan, and it trumped any marketing upsides. Suddenly, the board's enthusiasm began to wane.

Some details of the saga remain a little hazy. Given that they were the only guys in the room at their July meeting, only Mateschitz and Lauda know what was discussed, and what was or wasn't agreed that day.

That contentious meeting is at the heart of the story, along with the confusion over how urgent was the need to pin down the marketing side. Mateschitz wanted to do an engine deal first and then talk about the other stuff, but for Mercedes it was a clear priority.

The fact that Red Bull didn't come back with firm proposals was a perfect excuse to can the whole thing.

Then there's the perceived threat from VW/Audi. It's somewhat ironic that as it all unfolded, the VW emissions scandal not only cost Winterkorn his job, but also put any thoughts of an Audi F1 programme on hold. The guys who might have sanctioned a Red Bull deal have gone.

The affair has not done Mercedes any favours with Ecclestone, who made huge efforts to get the deal completed. To be fair, he now claims to see both sides.

"I don't blame him [Toto]. If I was him the last thing I'd want is Red Bull with my engine," he said in Austin.

"In defence of Red Bull, or Christian Horner in particular, the reason they cancelled their agreement with Renault was so they could do the deal which they thought they'd done with Mercedes, because they believed [they had done it]."

But then he added mischievously about that Lauda/Mateschitz meeting: "In Niki's case when Niki left Dietrich it was just shaking hands just to say goodbye..."

Kaip suprantu, cia sitas? http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/analysis-how-vw-s-f1-vision-helped-kill-red-bull-mercedes-deal/ - geras skaitinys

Taip. Labai panasu, kad ponas austras, susitikes su kitu austru, buvo nemazai prizadejes ir sukirtes rankom.

Tada dar ponas vokietis iskele salygu, kurias RBR pradejo vykdyti.

O veliau abu ponai nutare apsimesti durneliais.

Negrazu, jei taip is tikruju. But thats life. Gera pamoka, kad ir brangi, Mateschitzui. Manau tolimesnis bendravimas su Lauda ir Wolffu bus labai akivaizdziai saltas.

PS Vienam tokiam seneliui siandien 85-eri!

Klepsidra> maziau tikek ivairiais straipsniais, ypac kai tai yra vieno zmogaus Opinion. I visus jam nesuprantamus klausimus as iskarto turejau atsakymus, ir visa jo teorija isleke pro langa. Geriau paskaityk ka pasake Race Direction, kurie geriausiai gali zinoti kas ivyko:

"We listened to both riders; our opinion was that there was some fault ON BOTH SIDES, but as far as the rulebook goes Marquez did not make any contact, did not break any rules as such, but we feel that HIS BEHAVIOUR WAS CAUSING PROBLEMS to Rossi who reacted. "

Svarbu atsimerkti tiems Markezo fanams, kurie mato viena puse bet nemato kitos puses.

YZF> parasyk ka nors, kai suprasi, kad ne straipsnis, ne didzioji dalis komentuojanciu neneigia Marquezo kaltes - visi kalba apie tai, kad Rossi irgi nera sventas. Bet tu vistiek zinai geriau ir toliau neik Rossio kalte, del visko kalte versdamas Marquezui. Tikiuosi, peticija, kad butu panaikinta bauda pasirasei?

Klepsidra> kurioje vietoje as neigiu Rossio kalte? Kiek tau kartu reikia kalti i galva, kad ABIPUSE kalte nera vieno zmogaus kalte? Ar tu nebezinai, ka Lietuviu kalboje reiskia zodis abipuse?

tas op-ed, su tiek fantaziju ir isvedziojimu labiau tiktu i respublika o ne motorsport.com. surprise surprise, autoriaus nickas jklein93 (be abejo, irrelevant :)). kas cia per naujas folkloras 'rossis nera sventas'? ka tu tuom nori pasakyti? uz ka tavo manymu VR turejo buti nubaustas? tipo uz isvaziavima placiai is trajektorijos (running MM wide)? juk lyg tais sutinkam, ir teisejai sutinka, kad pats kontaktas buvo daugmaz racing incident, VR nieko tycia nenuspyre, ir bauda VR visgi ne uz tai? kaip VR teiseju nuomone tapo 'kaltu': ”It was judged that it was a move not in the spirit of the rules of racing.” wow. such rule. much reason. 'spirit of the rules' - theres no such thing. pries kelis metus berods del RedBulliu EBD ar tai Mcl F-ducto, lygiai ta pati bande pripaisyti. tad pikta tik del lempines baudos, ne ant MM ar Lorenzo ar dar kazko kitko. pasiskolinsiu dali komentaro esancio po tuo straipsniu: 1. Rossi ran wide (not illegal in any form of Motorsport) 2. Blocked a rider (not illegal in any motorsport) 3. Did not run 93 off track 4. Did not turn into a rider 7. Again, running wide is not illegal even intentionally 8. Endangering a rider is running him OFF TRACK, make a move in aggression. Running wide and looking at marquez was not aggression. http://cdn.meme.am/instances/500x/57637209.jpg

rubinho> gerus vejus paistai - pirmiausia EBD ir F-duct yra techninis reglamentas, o ne taisykles - bet tikriaus F-duct nuversdavo ar isspirdavo konkurentus is trasos? toliau - vietoj to, kad paneigtum, kas parasyta straipsnyje konkreciais faktais, uzkliuva autoriaus nickas.

Sekmes toliau sapnuojant savo sapnus, atmerktas akis ir t.t., bet realybe yra ir liks tokia: "As I said to [Rossi], it doesn't matter what the provocation is. You can't react in a way that causes a rider to crash"

"Valentino reacted to what he saw as provocation from Marquez and unfortunately his reaction was a manoeuvre that was against the rules. It's irresponsi*** riding, causing a crash. So he's been penalised for that. We believe the contact was deliberate."

"So in this case Valentino maintains he did not deliberately make the manoeuvre. However our view of the whole situation - looking at all the evidence - is that he deliberately ran wide and therefore deliberately caused the contact by trying to run Marquez off the track. "

#abipusekalte

srsly? siulai man paneigti kazkieno nuomone? aiskiai gi parasyta pavadinime - OPINION. yra ten vienas labai teisingas sakinys: "...penalties cannot be awarded on the basis of what the accused (cia reiketu pakeisti i 'accusing'-red.pastaba) party would like to have happened." visa kita ten yra tusti papilstymai, kilantys is nesupratimo arba nenoro matyt kaip MM pats nusicrashino (sorry bet tas jau seniai isdiskutuota), pvz "Rossi, on the other hand, did break the regulations – through a deliberate action (running Marquez wide), he caused his rival to crash." "Rossi made a mistake, one that broke the rules, and he deserved to be punished for it.". Aisku pati nuostabiausia dalis, tai tiesiog genialios izvalgos, tinkamos nebent Stonerio tweetams, o ne rimtai portalui: "For those who complained that Rossi was treated harshly, imagine if the roles at Sepang had been reversed; if Marquez had forced Rossi wide and down onto the deck.

The 22-year-old would almost certainly have been black-flagged and be facing a one-race ban, if not worse, and Rossi's legion of fans would be calling for Marquez's head to be impaled on a spike – or at least those who aren't doing so already."

"On Saturday October 24, Massimo Meregalli went to Race Control to suggest they should call [Rossi and Marquez] and give them a clear warning before the the race,” a Yamaha spokesperson told Motorsport.com.

“However, Race Control replied that it was not necessary to call the two riders.”

This decision from race officials enraged Rossi’s father Graziano, who told Italian publication Oggi: "After such strong statements, race officials should have called the two riders and warn them.

"They only had to calm them down and ask them to run their own race without interfering with each other. It was their job to tell them that they were under close observation and they would be heavily penalised if one would do anything wrong.

“Instead of that, nothing happened. They preferred to say nothing."

The former 250cc Grand Prix winner added: "On the Thursday before the race, my son sounded the alarm bell.

“Valentino is no dreamer and if he said those things, it’s not because he wanted to create some controversy, but because he wanted race officials to come into play, which did not happen".

Carlo Pernat, manager to Andrea Iannone, concurred that this created an intolera*** situation on track between two angry, frustrated and uncontrolled riders, and felt race control had mishandled the situation.

"Race control made a huge mistake by not saying a thing after Valentino’s press conference," Pernat told Motorsport.com.

"After such strong words where [Rossi] said what Marquez did to him during the Australian race, race control should have called the two riders and ask then: ‘What’s going on?’ And nothing happened.

"It’s clear to me that race control should have called the two riders on Saturday night because it was evident that something bad was about to happen, because tension ran too high.

“I think race control took things a bit too lightly. I’m not saying that they are responsi*** of what happened, because guilt is another matter, but they did not manage this situation correctly."

Race control nusikalto, nes nenuramino visu po Rossi pasvaiciojimu? Gal labiau kaltas tas, kuris svaiciojo, o ne race control - taip tas straipsnis ir vadinasi - "ka pasesi, ta ir pjausi". Pedrosa aplenke - leke i boksus pasikalbeti, Marquezas aplenke - visam pasauliui puole pasakoti, o po to reikia stebetis, kad Marquezas provokuoja?
Bet tikriaus cia noreta pasakyti, kad race control turejo liepti Marquezui, siukstu, nedristi lenktyniauti su Rossi.
Ir ta straipsnio dalis, kur pasakyta, kad antraip apvertus situacija Marquezas butu DSQ yra 99% tiesa.

Valentino Rossi has filed an appeal against his Sepang penalty to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in an attempt to get his last place start for the Valencia title decider overturned - or, just as significantly, delayed.

With the initial appeal by Rossi's Yamaha team against the decision of Race Direction rejected by the FIM Stewards', the CAS move is the last remaining option for Rossi.



"Italian MotoGP rider Valentino Rossi has filed an appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the FIM Stewards' decision to impose 3 penalty points on his record following an incident with another rider during the Shell Malaysia Motorcycle Grand Prix race held on 25 October 2015.

"The FIM Race Direction found that Mr Rossi deliberately ran wide in order to force the other rider off line, resulting in contact causing the other rider to crash out of the race. For this breach of the FIM Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix Regulations (the FIM Regulations), the FIM Race Direction imposed 3 penalty points on the rider's record.

"Mr Rossi immediately appealed such decision to the FIM Stewards who dismissed the appeal and confirmed the penalty imposed by the FIM Race Direction. Since Valentino Rossi already has 1 penalty point from an earlier incident, this decision brings him to a total of 4 penalty points. On the basis of the FIM Regulations, a rider with 4 penalty points must start the next race from last grid position.

"In his appeal to the CAS, Mr Rossi seeks the annulment of the penalty, or at least a reduction from 3 points to 1. Together with his appeal, Mr Rossi has filed an urgent application to stay the execution of the challenged decision in order not to lose his place on the starting grid at the next, and last, event of the season which will be held in Valencia/Spain on 6-8 November 2015.

"An arbitration procedure is in progress. A decision on Mr Rossi's request for a stay is expected to be issued no later than 6 November 2015."

Force India F1 team set for Aston Martin Racing branding deal

"As we know McLaren has a veto, but I've been told that Arai-san is very keen to do the Red Bull deal, as he sees only positives"

Pagaliau Rosbergas ateina i prota:

“I don’t want to comment on that,” Rosberg insisted. “But I have heard the fans and thought about it. I will not tell you how I will react because it would help him. I keep it to myself.”

“One thing is certain – I have to rethink some things. I just want to say that I understand what I have heard, because I have lost positions in these manoeuvres. I understand the question,” he added.

Ir biski slap in the face Laudai:

“Niki says certain things, that’s true, but he is not the actual person within Mercedes addressing these issues. Niki is about the direction of the team, but he is not Toto Wolff.”

“Again, I understand your question, but I feel supported by the team,” Rosberg insisted, “otherwise I would not continue here. I appreciate having a boss like Toto, he is very capa*** and we are very lucky to have him as our leader.”

Lauda darosi panasus i savo drauga Dr. Helmuta

Regarding incident tarp Vettelio ir Ricciardo... Kodėl visi įsikando tą pirmą posūkį? Juk FIA akivaizdžiai rašė kad dėl 5 posūkio incidento svarstymas. https://twitter.com/Gianlu_DAle/status/660898157874847744 video ties 4 sekunde paskaitykit Race Control draugiškai ;D

man atrodo vakar jau buvo issiaiskinti, kad incidentas buvo pirmam posukyje. Sky po lenktyniu rode epizoda is VET, RIC, BOT bolidu. FIA informacija buvo neteisinga.

Ooops - #nuslydo:
"The data from Marc’s bike shows that even though he was picking up the bike trying to avoid contact with Valentino, his front brake lever suddenly received an impact that locked the front tyre, which is the reason for his crash," said Nakamoto.
"We believe that this pressure was a result of Rossi’s kick. The data acquisition from Marc’s bike is availa*** if anybody from Dorna, the FIM or media want to check.”

Taip. Yamaha, aisku, kategoriskai su tuo nesutinka.

Kad priekis nuslydo kai rankenele buvo uzspausta - ir durniui aisku. Kitaip ir buti negalejo. O vat kad 'rankenele nuspaude Rossio spyris' - cia jau Nakamoto (Hondos) nuomone. Butu keista, jeigu ji butu kitokia.

“Sources have told The Times that Lauda is considering quitting the team, possibly as soon as the end of the season,” the London-based newspaper said.
