The rumours are that Ferrari has approached Eric Boullier to replace Maurizio Arrivabene as team principal.

New gearbox for Kimi

BREAKING NEWS : Kvyat retained by Toro Rosso for 2017

Gasly praskrido.

During the Formula 1 drivers’ briefing on Friday ahead of the United States Grand Prix, in Austin, Max Verstappen came under fire from his peers for his aggressive and robust defensive driving tactics.

Auto Motor und Sport reports that the Red Bull teenager was ”in the dock’ as criticism rained on him from all quarters.

Romain Grosjean led the criticism with more comments mdae by Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Raikkonen and lastly Fernando Alonso.

Tight lipped Raikkonen is said to have spoken for over three minutes with regards to the matter, which clearly suggests that the veteran Finn has an issue with Verstappen’s racing style.

The teenager was unperturbed and when the subject of his defense of second place from Hamilton on the penultimate lap of the Japanese Grand Prix, Verstappen simply stated, “I was not been punished. So I did nothing wrong.”

The drivers then pushed FIA race director Charlie Whiting to establish a ruling which would apply to all with immediate effect. The consensus being that once a driver brakes he must not change his line, to block or obstruct a car behind.

Whiting agreed that in future telemetry would be used to ascertain wrong doing in such circumstances.

Nico Hülkenberg said of the potential risks, “You sit all cozy at home on the couch. From the on-board camera, it looks as if there is space to pass left or right. Do you know how narrow the track is when you racing at 330 kph?”

“If you are already on the brakes and the guy moves into your lane there is nothing you can do. You end up crashing, or as Lewis did going down the escape road or you end up in the wall.”

“It cannot be that we only do something when there is a big accident,” added Hulkenberg.

Alonso had the final say in the debate by reminding his rivals of his accident in Melbourne, “If you are at 300 kph close to the car in front and then forced off line you have little time to correct and it ends in a big shunt.”

AF1>> Cia tas, kuriam vieta Toro Rosso buvo garantuota? Turbut labai gerai GP2 skraido, kad F-1 praskrido.

Strollas. Siandien. Monzoje.

-Bottas stays for just one more year at Williams
-Renault (the patriotist in the team) wants Ocon, but the engineers want to have stability in the team. Magnussen has good chances to stay
-Magnussen is also on Haas list. Ferrari insist to keep Gutierrez, but Haas is not convinced of him. If he has to leave and KMag stays at Renault Wehrlein has good chances to get the cockpit. But rumours are suggesting that we could get a big surprise here
-The Force India cockpit is between Nasr or Ocon
-Sauber and Manor will get someone from the remaining drivers (Wehrlein, Ocon, Gutierrez, Palmer, Giovinazzi, King, Sirotkin, Gasly)

Helmutas pamokys 11 WDC kaip reikia stabdyti. lol.

Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko doesn't understand the actions of other drivers. "Let them learn to brake. Max is doing well."

Hulkenberg says "Maybe with Red Bull it is the way it goes under braking, because the car has brutal downforce. Watching Ricciardo, sometimes he brakes too late when he starts to ***. In that case, my car would land on the moon"

Visi briefenge išsakyti Hulkenbergo komentarai on point

FIA has clarified the ruling on moving in the braking zones to outlaw them. According to Article 27.6 “Any change of direction under braking which results in another driver having to take evasive action will be considered abnormal and hence potentially dangerous to other drivers. Any such move will be reported to the stewards.” This change will be in effect from the United States Grand Prix.

Renault tried to get Sainz but failed and now still try to get Bottas who indeed has the one year option activated by Williams. Lawyers are on the case.

Jolyon Palmer’s management are in discussions about the second seat at Force India. But so is Felipe Nasr and he looks the favourite because he has more sponsorship money.

At Renault, it looks like Magnussen is going to stay.

SporTV, Globo's sports ca*** channel, just tweeted something like "Exclusive, Nasr really close to signing FI"

According to AMUS, Ecclestone does want this because of Brazil markets.

Khairy: Malaysia should 'take a break' from hosting F1 race

http://www.nst.com.my/news/2016/10/183085/khairy-malaysia-should-take-break-hosting-f1-race

There could be significant changes at McLaren in the coming months with rumour that Zak Brown has been approached by the team to replace Ron Dennis as chairman and CEO.

Meanwhile the team are reportedly set for a new partnership with BP, who would replace ExxonMobil as McLaren's fuel and lubricant supplier. ExxonMobil are rumoured to be moving their partnership to Red Bull.

There are fears at Mercedes that Lewis Hamilton will suffer another engine failure in the remaining three races of 2016 according to The Sun.

The paper reports that Hamilton was running on reduced power in Austin amid concerns his two remaining power units will not be enough to get him to the chequered flag in Abu Dhabi.

And not willing to inflict further grid penalties on Hamilton, or risk the reliability of an upgraded unit, no Mercedes driver will receive an upgraded spec before the end of the season.

Jei Dennisą išmeta po šio sezono pabaigos, įdomu kas priglaus. Nors dabar kalbos eina, kad jis tol nesitrauks, kol Mclarenas nelaimės pirmų varžybų... Čia gali ir pensija ateit. :)

ka priglaus? Dennisa? kodel jis kazkur kitur turetu eiti?

Čia nevisai tas straipsnis, kurį norėjau surast, bet anyway http://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12479/10628710/ron-dennis-will-leave-mclaren-predicts-sky-f1s-martin-brundle. Jis gal ir nenorėtų, bet daug ką netenkina rezultatai.

Jenson Button says McLaren opted not to show him anything of its 2017 car until he signed a new two-year deal which includes taking a sabbatical from F1 next year.

Nebuvo labai svarbu, koks skirtumas, kai esi lėtesnis sekunde, gali rodyt ką tik nori..

Senukas sugalvojo sprendima, kad niekas nekirstu posukiu:

Bernie Ecclestone has suggested Formula 1 should build walls on racetrack corners to make the sport more dangerous. I've been criticised probably by everybody because I wanted to build 40cm walls around the corners. They keep saying they mustn't go off the road, I promise they won't.

Williams Martini Racing has revealed it will officially announce its 2017 driver line-up on November 3rd at its Grove headquarters.

The British team is the highest-placed outfit in the standings yet to confirm either of its drivers for next season, though it is expected to announce a contract extension for Valtteri Bottas and the signing of European F3 champion Lance Stroll.

Jolyon Palmer is being linked with a potential move to Sauber for 2017.

Kaip ir sakiau, Perezas ir co sudealino su Ferrari. Net Hulkas atsargiai apie tai kalba:

Before Hulkenberg was signed, however, Renault negotiated with Perez but the Mexican and his backers ultimately decided to stay put at Force India for another year.

"In his view, it might make more sense," Hulkenberg said.

"He might be hoping to be at Ferrari one day, but for me, the doors are closed to the current top teams at the moment."

O cia kaip pirstu i dangu:

Bernie Ecclestone has hit out at the latest generation of F1 team chiefs, accusing them of caring most about money.

The billionaire and F1 supremo said what sets himself, Ron Dennis and Sir Frank Williams apart from the latest bosses is that the main goal wasn't to get rich.

"We all made money but it wasn't our intention," he told British journalists ahead of the Mexican grand prix.

"The trou*** today is we are getting people whose intention is solely to make money. Toto Wolff is probably the best example."

"It was also interesting to see that Brawn’s assessment of the problems of Ferrari was almost exactly the same as the recent outburst by former chief engineer Luca Baldisserri who described the team as “a group of frightened people, afraid that they will lose their jobs”."

Imho nieko naujo nepasake. Mes ta mateme dar pries 5 metus (ir turbut dar anksciau) ir apie ta kalbejome cia. Nereikejo nei Baldiserio nei Brauno

Idomu, yra ne ar naujo ka pasake, o kas tai pasake, nes kai sako Baldiseriai tai visiems fanatikams tai yra tik "ismestu kvailiu pagiezingos kalbos".

Red Bull has snatched a top, long-term sponsor from F1 rivals McLaren, it has emerged in Mexico.

Two weeks ago, we reported that the British oil multinational BP is looking at returning to the grid with a $30 million deal, with McLaren and Renault both in the running.

It now emerges that McLaren wants a new oil backer because it is losing 21-year partner Mobil to Red Bull.

"There are rumours of arguments with team management, because the price-performance ratio was no longer right," said Auto Motor und Sport correspondent Michael Schmidt.

He added that the loss of sponsors and the lack of replacements is one reason McLaren supremo Ron Dennis is clinging to his current position.

Schmidt said the new BP-Castrol deal is less lucrative than the Mobil one, and could actually cost McLaren-Honda in performance due to the switch to new and less developed petrol and lubricants.

Sorry.


Jaypee Group, the owners of former Indian GP venue Buddh International Circuit, have no plans to sell the multi-million dollar facility, despite the conglomerate's financial problems.

The group, which has diverse interests in power, construction and real estate, recently failed to meet multiple obligations to pay off debts, which stood at nearly $9 billion at the end of March 31, 2016.
