Alonso leista dalyvauti Kinijos GP. Po FP1 dar kartą bus tikrinamas.

O tai už ką HAM bauda ? Ar jis jau 5 gearbox'us pakeitė ? Ar čia ne tokia sistema kaip su varikliais ?

Ta pati greičių dėžė turi būti naudojama 5 GP iš eilės. Jei neklystu, nepasiekus finišo ją galima pakeisti "nemokamai".

Ferrari turbo fix is due in May.

Until then, they will be running their current turbos - whose design was fundamentally changed for 2016 - at reduced power.

"Experts believe it is costing them up to half a second per lap" at the moment, RTL said.

Hamilton pointed the finger at his Mercedes teammate after the high-profile gathering of F1 drivers for dinner in China.

"Someone said 'Let's share the bill', so 18 receipts, 18 credit cards, it was the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen," said Hamilton.

He said he thinks "Nico" was the one who made the call the split the bill.

"Really? Interesting," Rosberg told reporters when asked about Hamilton's claim.

"From what I can remember, the hidden agreement usually is that the world champion pays, but that just might be my opinion," the German hit back.

Official figures from Formula One Management indicate television audiences fell to above 400 million last year, further illustrating the sport’s declining popularity.

The new data means F1 has lost one-third of its worldwide audience since 2008 – around 200 million viewers. How many of those are now watching the sport via other means, legal or not, is unclear.

"In qualifying we could target pole position," he explained. "With our calculation we believed we were one tenth behind Mercedes, which is a margin that with a final push from the drivers could even be reduced to zero. But it didn't happen.

Ferrari will introduce a new internal combustion engine in Sochi, according to FunoAnalisitecnica

According to Motorsport Italia, Ferrari will bring a new engine (3 tokens spent on combustion) in Russia

As an arrest warrant was issued by an Indian court last week, it is suspected the 60-year-old is in Britain.

So the news agency AFP now reports that India's financial crimes division, the enforcement directorate, is seeking for Mallya to be deported.

"We have been given enough indication that he is indeed in the UK," an Indian government spokesman said.

"We have written to the (British foreign) ministry for assistance in the deportation of Mr Mallya as the process would involve using diplomatic channels."

Force India's other co-owner and title sponsor, Subrata Roy, is already in jail.

Bet tai normaliai hebryte...iki kalejimo. Isdidziai kaip povas istojo i F1 cirka VJM, pries kiek tais metu, o dabar ziurek - slapstytis tenka. Mazai dziaugsmo

Ar matei ji besislapstanti? Bernie kitoks, visokiu Grybojevskiu po teismus tampomas?

Kaip jau rasyta auksciau naujas Ferrari ICE Rusijoje - 3 tokenai - anksciau, nei tiketasi. Nauja turbo Kanados GP.

Klepsidra> nu panasu kad taip, paskutiniu metu F1 savaitgaliais jo nebesimato kazkaip. Bernis tai nesislapste, viesai visur rodydavosi ir komentavo.

I vokietija Bernis tikrai nevaziavo

Bet i visas kitas salis vaziavo ir slapstytis nebande. Paieskos skelbti nereikejo. O VJM man primena Snoriuko arba Romanovo istorija

Russian Sergey Sirotkin has been signed by Renault as a test driver and will take part in first practice at his home grand prix this weekend.

The 20-year-old, who races in the GP2 feeder series, will drive Kevin Magnussen's car at Sochi on Friday.

Renault said Sirotkin had joined on a "long-term development plan", but has given no details of any F1 outings.

Ferrari - Upgrades expected for RussianGp:
- New front wing (more downforce)
- New engine (new combustion - 3 tokens spent)

The battle for the 2017 Ferrari seat should be between Grosjean and Perez (supported by his personal sponsor, Claro).
But at the moment the idea would be to keep Raikkonen in Ferrari.

Perezas ?? No way ... Niekad..

O tai Verstappenas kur?

Gana įdomi lenkimų statistika

http://cliptheapex.com/overtaking/

Kol kas lenkimų skaičius įspūdingas lyginant su kitais sezonais

lenkimu skaiciu padidino skirtingos taltikos del padangu ir Hamiltono bei Vettelio gedimai/avarijos. Kovos as such - nera

Vetteliui 5 starto pozicijų bauda už pavarų dėžės keitimą.

Taip - http://f1news.lt/sebastianas-vettelis-gaus-5-starto-poziciju-bauda/

tenka pastebėt, kad kuo labiau tobulėjo bolidai, tuo mažiau lenkimų darėsi...

Amendments to the Power Unit agreement as released by FIA

COST
Agreement has been reached on a significant reduction in the price of power unit supply to customer teams and a reduction in cost to manufacturers over the coming years.

- In 2017 the power unit price for customer teams will be reduced by €1m per season compared to 2016.
- From 2018, the annual supply price will be reduced by a further €3m.
- Cost reduction on power units will be driven by changes to the Sporting and Technical regulations in 2017 and 2018, with a progressive reduction of the number of power unit elements per driver per season.

SUPPLY
Supply of power units to customer teams will be ensured, as the homologation procedure will include an “obligation to supply” that will be activated in the event of a team facing an absence of supply.

PERFORMANCE CONVERGENCE
The new agreement includes a package of measures aimed at achieving performance convergence.
- The token system is to be removed from 2017
- Additionally, constraints on power unit part weights, dimensions and materials, and on boost pressure will be introduced in 2017 and in 2018.

SOUND
Manufacturers are currently conducting a promising research programme into further improving the sound of the current power units, with the aim of implementation by 2018 at the latest.

Kad Honda turi problemu su kuro sanaudomis - viena, bet ant kiek yra beviltiska siuolaikine taupymo F1, kai gali ramiai po 2-3 sekundes greiciau pavaryti vien per team radio pasakes
"I want to have some fun" kaip buvo Alonso atveju. Kokia yra prasme visu tu 2017 taisykliu ir "pagreitejimu 5 sekundemis" jei vistiek reikes taupyti...

Nu taigi padidins kuro limitą nuo kitų metų... Ar pramiegojai ?

Kiek padidins pramiegojai? Didinimas 5kg skirtas tam, kad "dides galia"

Su variklių reducing cost irgi juokas. Ne kainą mažina, o komponentų kiekį.

Kainą irgi mažina. O degalų limitą didina, nes nuo kitų metų bolidai bus sunkesni.

Neblogai pasake sikart:
Hamilton felt the decisions were unnecessarily harsh. “When I was in karting there was one steward who was just there to make everyone’s weekend a bad weekend,” he said. “I’m starting to have reminiscent experiences. Families would turn up and spend so much money to be there but there was this one guy who was a complete arsehole. I heard he’s still there. He was just there to ruin people’s weekend. I have started to see signs of him.”

The Sauber team will not take part in the post-Spanish Grand Prix Formula 1 test, the Swiss squad has announced.

Sauber took to social media on Tuesday to say it has decided to cancel its participation in the two-day test as it will not have any updates to its car for the Barcelona race.

It also said it does not have a driver it can use.

Haas will decide this week whether or not it will run Ferrari's upgraded engine at the Spanish Grand Prix.

Po visu viduriavimu pernai:
Renault is seeking a fresh customer supply deal with Red Bull for 2017, sources have revealed, amid hopes that it can get the situation sorted as early as the end of this month.

Na kadangi RedBull veza Renault prekini zenkla i prieki (pagal rezultatus) tai matyt jiems idomiau su jais siekti podiumu negu su Renault komanda kuri velkasi dugne

Red Bull neveza Renault prekinio zenklo ir tikriaus pacio Renault pageidavimu - Tag Heuer yra motoro brandas
