Teenager Lance Stroll emerging as leading candidate to replace Felipe Massa at Williams

Yra gandu, kad Pierre Gasly nuo Singapuro pakeis Kvyata, nors Horneris dar sia savaite aiskino, kad Kvyatas turetu likti STR ir kitiems metams

Gasly is driving for TR in Singapore by his own admission on Spanish Sky TV. Dr Helmut Marko says that the rumours of Gasly replacing Kvyat in Singapore are "absolute rubbish" and he will be on the phone to Gasly immediately. :D

greiciausiai, kad Kvyata mes lauk. O ne bereikalo. Q 8 : 2 kraunasi nuo Sainzo. Lenktyniu rezime dar baisiau 6:1 .

Helmuto body language ir veido mimika visada isduoda ka jis is tikruju mano. Aibe vaizdo irasu tam irodymas :)

Panasu, kad kitu metu sezonui daugelis pranasysciu pildosi, tiek Strollo i Williams, tiek Gasly i STR, tiek Massos i Brazilija (arba namo i Monaka).
Tik vat del Buttono Ronas suzaide ejima zirgu - nenori jo atiduoti kitiem, todel pamokejo pinigu "uz ora".

Red Bull tikisi, kad Renault atves i Singapura siektiek patobulinta motora (nothing major), taip pat Total turetu atvezti naujus degalus

Vienas didžiausių Kimio heiterių netikėtai perėjo į Kimio pusę.
Villeneuve said at Monza: "I have become a Kimi fan.
"I'm very surprised by how much Kimi has improved, and how well he is currently driving," the French Canadian said of the 2007 world champion.
"He seems to be more concentrated than ever before," Villeneuve told the Finnish newspaper Turun Sanomat.
"A couple of years ago, Kimi seemed bored, as if he was only there because he had a contract. But now everything is different.
"Kimi seems to be happy, he speaks a lot with the press, he is highly motivated and clearly he is enjoying his driving.
"I think his happiness has come from his family life with his wife and son. It's like everything in Kimi's life is in balance," Villeneuve added.

Stai ka reiskia tinkamas komandos draugas, kalbant apie Kimi. Mikroklimatas komandoje yra labai svarbu, o Sebas su Kimiu yra geri draugai bei kolegos. Kad tik Ferraris valintu kitais metais..

Villeneuve told the Finnish newspaper...

MS> gal gali pateikti irodymu, kad Kimio santykiai su Sebu yra kitokie, nei su Alonso, Massa, Montoya ir kitais. Villeneuve sako vienaip, bet tu turi kitokiu irodymu - pirmyn - pateik juos.

Klepsidra> o kokių įrodymu tau reikia? juk ne vieną kartą jie oficiliuose ir neoficialiuose interviu sakė, kad yra draugai, kartu leidžia laisvalaikį (net kai nevažiavo už ferrari) ir t.t. niekur nemačiau, kad taip kalbėtų apie kurį nors kitą :)

Nemaciau ne vieno interviu, kur sake, kad su Vetteliu yra kazkas kitaip nei Massa, Alonso ar kitais - tokiu irodymu ir reikia

Neberaganekit gal. Tema skirta naujienom ir gandam. Nelabai diskusijom. Aciu.

Valtteri Bottas is set to remain at Williams in 2017, with Force India's Sergio Pérez, Mercedes-backed Manor racer Pascal Wehrlein and Sauber's Felipe Nasr all linked to the other seat.

Williams development driver and Formula 3 title leader Lance Stroll has also emerged as a candidate in recent weeks, as he prepares to ramp up testing in old Formula 1 machinery.

Strollas buvo kandidatas months ago ir yra bene rimciausias kandidatas. Nasras irgi yra sarase, bet Strollo atnesami pinigai yra way didesni (kalba eina, kad skiriasi kartais).

Perezas ir Williams abejoju ar turi pagrindo - eiti i komanda, kuri siemet liks zemiau cempionate? Perezas nebent i Renault eitu, kaip i works team.

Renault Sport boss Cyril Abiteboul has made it clear that Esteban Ocon remains high on the Enstone F1 team's driver wish list for 2017

Perezas lieka FI. :)

Perezas arba i Renault, arba lieka FI su suoliu i Ferrari 2018.
Jo pagrindinis tikslas visada buvo strong works team. Esmine priezastis, kodel jis ir Williams not feasi***.

Bottas, panasu, liks Williams, nors dar nera galutinai aisku. Siaip jis turetu buti dekingas Dennisui, kad anas apsaugojo Buttona uztildes/surises ji pinigais (panasiai kaip Ferrari pasielge su Kimiu pasibaigus 2009 m).

Kevin Magnussen says he has been told he can expect a decision on his future in Formula 1 before the Singapore Grand Prix.

Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone says he has been asked to stay on for three years once a takeover of the sport is completed by Liberty Media.

Carlos Slim, 4th richest person in the world, just bought Force India

Dėl Force India pirkimo greičiausiai antis paleista buvo ;-)

http://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/10569349/liberty-media-buys-formula-one-motor-racing-in-6bn-deal?112 oficialiai patvirtintas pirkimas.

Panasu, kad Renault norejo Perezo tik su ilgalaikiu kontraktu, o Perezas tikisi galimybes 2018 eiti i Ferrari, todel lieka dar metams FI

Yup. Perezas butent to ir siekia - longterm works team deal.

Williams sprendzia padangu klausimus taip:

Williams has bolstered its Formula 1 engineering department with the signing of Antonio Spagnolo, who has held numerous roles with Ferrari over the years.

Spagnolo, former Head of Tyre Performance Group with Ferrari, takes on the role of Competitor Analysis and Performance Concept Team Leader at Williams.

Sprendzia tai sprendzia, bet kazkaip nepamenu, kad Ferrari paskutiniu metu blizgejo padangu klausimu

Stroll to Williams alongside Bottas 'a done deal', provided he gets super license

Malone and Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne are clashing, with the former wanting to end the fa*** Italian team's special annual bonus payments.

"Sue me!" Malone is quoted as having told Marchionne during recent negotiations. "I have the time and the money."

Renault may try to get Sainz from Red Bull for next year if they can't find anyone, leaving Kvyat and Gasly at Toro Rosso next year.

Tiesiog faktas: Singapūro GP Nico bus 200-osios karjeroje.

Šiam momentui yra iškovojęs 20 pergalių, 50 kartų lipo ant podiumo, taip pat sąskaitoje 19 greičiausių ratų ir 28 pole.

Williams F1 development driver Lance Stroll has moved one step closer to a Formula 1 deal in 2017, having now guaranteed himself enough superlicence points to qualify

The FIA and rival teams want to stop a loophole in the current Formula 1 rules that may go some way to explain some of the superiority of Mercedes this season.

That is the claim of the authoritative Auto Motor und Sport magazine, reporting that the world champion team not only has the best engine in F1 but also the best chassis thanks to a clever tweak.

The report said the Mercedes W07 has an hydraulic roll and height control system – similar to the earlier FRIC (Front and Rear Inter-Connected suspension) concept that was banned – that cleverly uses the stepped nose in the top of the chassis to mimic active suspension.

For aesthetic reasons, this stepped nose was allowed to be covered by a so-called ‘vanity panel’ after 2012, but it also gave Mercedes a place to house the system outside of the carbon tube.

Correspondent Michael Schmidt said: “The other teams now recognise the trick and put it on the agenda for the technical meeting on the Tuesday after Monza.”

He added that the FIA would like to ban it shortly, but that would require the agreement of all the teams – including Mercedes – to change the 2017 regulations.

“It’s hard to say,” the Spanish sports daily Marca quotes the Briton as saying, “but if I had to choose one over the years, I would probably say Prost.”

“He was better than Schumacher or Senna. Michael had a lot of help from the team or teammates, and at some points it was the same with Senna.

“But Prost never had such privileges. He always had competitors even within his own team,” Ecclestone said.

But while Ecclestone named Prost the best, he said Jochen Rindt was his personal favourite.

“We were very close, as colleagues and friends,” he said. “He is definitely my favourite, but not the best of all time. That’s Prost.”
