Naujienos, gandai...

“But there are also claims that Marchionne could not cope with Allison, because the Briton spoke his mind and refused to be dictated unreasona*** targets in contrast to his (Allison’s) 25 years of motor sport experience,” he added.

Strategy group: No Halo in 2017. Maybe later. Radio ban lifted during races. Track limits will not be penalized anymore.

The F1 Strategy Group has agreed on the principle of standing starts in wet conditions, and it is understood that the change could be applied immediately.

Max Verstappen's defensive driving will be raised in the Formula 1 drivers' briefing ahead of this weekend's German Grand Prix following his battle with Kimi Raikkonen in Hungary.

Dave daug kalbos chebra po Max vs Kimi ir bendrai apie taisykliu interpretavima race-by-race:

Raikkonen:
“In all the things, not just what happened with Max and me last weekend. What happened in qualifying, with the 107 per cent rule and also with the dou*** yellow flag rule,” he said. “I'm not saying this because I want to qualify one place up because of another drivers' penalty.

“It's purely because it's not correct that certain things should be treated always the same way and that's why we have rules. It's as simple as that and it's very hard to imagine getting pole position with a dou*** yellow flag. The rule says that you have to be ready to stop – it's hard to explain to people how you manage to qualify on top with that."

“Like I said, it's not going to change anything but for the future it would be much better for all of us if it would be always the same way of looking into things, similar penalties for similar things. There's not much we drivers can do to change things but hopefully, sometime, things will improve and be more even all the time.”


Alonso:
“I think it was illegal [Verstappen's moves], yes,” Alonso said. “You are allowed to move once and commit to whatever you need to do. You can choose to brake on the clean side, the dirty side, on the inside, on the outside, you are allowed to do whatever you think is best to defend your position.

“You are allowed to move once and not two or three times. That is not an opinion, it's just the rule. If you take the ball with the hands outside the area it is a penalty and a red card, it's nothing more.”

“As drivers, we all know that moving in the braking zone is the most dangerous thing you can do,” Button added. “Because the guy [following] is at 300 km/h and probably hasn't hit the brakes yet. Braking is a no-no and he obviously did move in the braking zone, so I can understand Kimi's frustration."

Alonso has echoed Raikkonen's comments about the inconsistency from race stewards at each round and feels it is a wider problem which F1 is currently facing.

“That's Formula One and the good and the bad about this sport,” Alonso said. “It is very inconsistent what the rules are, and this, after a very boring race in Hungary, we are four days after and still talking about this movement and the yellow flags.”

Two yellows now equals a red in qualifying after dou***-yellow flags controversy

Alonso gerai ir toliau varo - is serijos Charlie gonna Charlie:

"The same with the track limits. There were track limits, then this morning there weren't track limits, now it seems there's three strikes...

"So tomorrow when I go out during qualifying I'll ask them what I have to do and I'll try to not waste any more time."

Kazkas dar apie Charlie:
His head of grey hair may look wise, but that's all. That's why we have chicanes that work at some tracks and not at others. For example. The radio ban was a perfect demonstration of lack of processing capacity.

Nera naujienu del uosves BE?

Alonso citata tikrai nera apie Charlie, o bendrai apie visa sita bardakini powerplay tarp FIA (Todt) vs Bernie + Teams.

Majority of more experienced drivers asked Charlie Whiting to set strict rules for track limits & to impose penalties for violations. #AMuS

Track limits has become a political issue this weekend, teams + Bernie want freedom, the FIA is resisting that pressure

Jean Todt's firm view is that the FIA makes the rules, not the teams, and this has become a case study...

O pries tai buvo pasivazinejimas, kur Raikkonenas buvo toks, koks buna out of F1 - laid back and open:

Scarborough (tas, kur nieko neismano anot sito saito eGZpertu) apie Ferrari bedas:

On the chassis side, the car lacks downforce compared to Mercedes. The car doesn't sport all the detailed aero parts that mark out Mercedes and Red Bull as leaders in this area. Arguably the 2016 Ferrari lacks some of the more detailed aero parts that were present on its '15 car!
Development on the current chassis has been disappointing for a team with Ferrari's resources and the rate of major new parts making it to the car is slow. Many of the key areas for aero development on the Ferrari are still similar, if not identical, to how they were in Melbourne.
Lacking downforce means aero efficiency has to be played with, running less downforce and risking the tyres sliding and overheating, or running too much downforce and letting the drag eat up horsepower on the straights.

P.S. gandai sako, kad Allisonas turejo greitai isvykti nes nesutiko su Sergio restrukturizacijos planu.

Man įdomu, ką reiškia atnaujinimų trūkumas Ferrari. Anksčiau (kai lenktyniavo Alonso) atnaujinimų būdavo, nors jie neveikdavo. '15 jų taip pat buvo ir jie veikė. Tai kas nutiko šiemet? Ar tik nebus taip, kad Ferrari jau senai patyliukais nukreipė visą dėmesį 2017 m. link? Čia tik mano spėjimas, bet vis gi. Taip pat tai galėjo turėti įtakos ir Marchionne - Allison santykiams, jei pirmasis norėjo rezultatų (kova dėl WDC ir WCC) jau šiemet, o James suprato, kad Merc vis vien neliečiami tol, kol nepasikeitė reglamentas. Ir šiaip, dėl Allisono, gandų yra įvairių, o tiesos nesužinosime kol kas nors neprabils. Turbūt, bus kaip visada: vieni savo vieną, kiti kitą, o tiesa kažkur per vidurį...

Beje, dar viena mintis: prieš sezoną buvo daug kalbėta apie Ferrari atrastą nišą su Haas (dėl vėjo tunelio laiko ir pan.) Rezultatų šiemet nėra, bolidas neatrodo ypač stiprus aerodinamiškai (nors kai kurie pakeitimai buvo „revoliuciniai“, lyginant su SF15-T), tad ar nebus Ferrari tos nišos išnaudojus '17 m. aero konceptams kurti ir tobulinti?

Neisnaudojo Ferrari nieko tikriaus, nes aerodinamikos koncepcija nebuvo aiski dar pries kelis menesius.

Dau kalbama kad Pascal Wherlein persikels i Force india. Perez i Renault.

According to Giedo Van Der Garde on Ziggo Sports , Ocon is a done deal with renault for 2017.

Uosviu (ir BE) fanams - The mother-in-law of F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone, who was kidnapped in Brazil, has been freed without any ransom paid, say police.

Ms Schunck was freed after being traced to a farmhouse near Sao Paulo after investigators monitored phone calls between kidnappers and her family, police say.

The BBC understands that Mr Ecclestone had wanted to come to Brazil to help in the investigation and had even offered the services of a private security company to deal with the kidnappers.

But Brazilian police told him that his presence in Brazil might be counterproductive and advised him and his wife to remain in the UK.

The kidnappers had reportedly demanded that the ransom be paid in pounds sterling and divided into four bags of cash,

Such a relatively peaceful ending to a kidnapping with no money being paid is a rare, successful outcome, the BBC's Wyre Davies in Brazil reports.

Bent keli skirtingu saliu saltiniai raso, kad galvos toliau kris/krenta Maranele - sekantis sarase - Dirk de Beer (head of aerodynamics) su kuriuo tariamai jau atsisveikinta/bus atsisveikina. Kaip ir Allisono atveju realiausia kita stotele - Renault, nes is Lotus ir atejo.

Nors Fernando nepajege vienas sukurti Ferrariui bolido, panasu, kad Sergio ta tikrai padarys.

Klepsidra> buvo straipsnis sky lyg, ryte skaičiau, kad restrukūriacija per vasarą bus. Apie Dirko atleidimą nerašė, bet pernelyg ir nenustebčiau, jei atleistų.

Struktura bus kaip Mercedes ir McLaren tipo. Dirko nebuvo German GP, be to jis (kaip ir dar keli) yra ateje su Allisonu, tai naturalu, kad isejus jam gali (gali tekti) iseiti.

99 Vandoorne'o procentai gali siek tiek pasikeisti: Should that not happen, it is believed Mercedes junior and Renault reserve Esteban Ocon is in the running to take over the seat (jei nelieka Haryanto)

Force India has revealed Sergio Perez's Formula 1 future is out of its hands, as it has no influence over the Mexican driver's sponsors.

While Perez does have a contract with Force India for 2017, as previously stated by team principal Vijay Mallya, Autosport has learned there is effectively an escape clause in the deal.

Perez derasi su Renault.

AF1>> Tai seniai nebe naujiena.

Perezu ir Williams domisi - viskas del talento

Horneris susumavo apie linijas, bet zilagalvis senelis kazin ar isgirs:
"There is a white line that goes all the way around the circuit – and one very easy way of doing it is if you have all four wheels over that line, you are out. In other sports it seems to work, be it with a ball or a foot – whatever it may be.

"There is a reluctance to have done that, which is fair enough, but if there is a reluctance to do that then you have to allow the drivers to use what is there. You cannot have one rule for Turn 1 and another rule for Turn 17 - otherwise that is too confusing for us within a paddock, let alone for the fans.

Alexander Rossi says he turned down the opportunity to race for Manor for the rest of the 2016 season as he wants to focus on IndyCar.

2008-uju Hamiltono titulas...


It was nice to be part of Lewis’s championship win in Brazil, and obviously we all wanted a McLaren driver to win. I was told to support Lewis as much as I could. In fact in the race I did hold up Timo Glock pretty much through the middle stint.

We had a signal on the pit wall. I think we normally had bright yellow numbers and letters on the pit board, and they told me if they go orange it means slow someone down. In the middle of the race I saw a colour change so I was holding Timo up in that stint and trying to build a gap in front of me in case something happened. It was then quite a coincidence that Lewis passed Glock just before the finish line. So I played a little bit of a role in that!

Lewiso komandos draugas Heikis. Gali pasirodyti pikta, bet normalu - komandos draugai vienas kitam padeda. Čia jau ne a little bit of a role, o huge role. :)

Faktas idomus, bet tikriaus nieko nestebina. Vis ne 2002 Austrija

Klepsidra> o kodel ne 2010 hockenhaimas? :)
2002 Austrija negrazu, bet jokios itakos galutiniam rezultatui nebuvo, o ir pergale buvo grazinta USA GP.

Boullier says McLaren declined the offer of taking part in the Pirelli tyre tests for the 2017 compounds in order to focus its development resources on next year's challenger.

Yes. Buvo siuloma visoms komandoms, isskyrus Haas, nes jie neturejo 2015 bolido. Reiktu paziureti skaicius, bet ar nebus taip, kad McLaren ir personalo maziau turi.

Autosporte neblogas yra apie tai, kodel Ferrari reikia Boullier

o Williams atsisake, realiai del to, kad per brangu jiems, t.y. jie tikejo, kad Pirelli padengs daug islaidu.

Tai, kad McLaren biudžetas 2015 m. buvo didesnis nei Ferrari. Įdomu, ar McLaren atžvilgiu pateikti duomenys yra lėšos chassis ir pan., o PU atskirai finansuojamas Hondos. Ferrari atveju tie 418 mil yra tiek chassis, tiek PU, manau.

2017 m. padangų bandymai neabejotinai turės naudos testuojančioms komandoms, apie ką kalbėjo ir Symondsas.

Klepsidra, gal gali straipsnį apie Ferrari/Boullier copy-paste čia?

Eiliniai palinkejimai savam pasaulyje uzstrigusiam seneliui Charlie. Si karta nuo Wolff'o:
"This is not long jump where two centimetres make the jump invalid. This is a six-kilometre track and two centimetres should not be changing that. So we said: 'Let's leave the drivers alone and let them drive.'"
