Dennis takeover bid with Chinese investment rejected; Emergency board meeting being held which could see Dennis placed on gardening leave

“The car was set up for the dry,” Lowe told Motorsport.com. “You have to set the car up for the dry, because unless you can entirely predict a full wet race, which would be a real gam***, the car is basically always configured for the dry, which is likely to emerge at some point in a race.

Zak Brown has received a 'firm offer' from McLaren to succeed Ron Dennis as chief executive Sky Sports has learnt

“We should pay the people who are in the grandstands to watch the cars passing,” said Alonso. “Fans want to see fast cars, something where you cannot close your mouth after you see the car passing.”

“I was 30 minutes on the side of the circuit and I was sleeping. Thankfully I found this chair and a TV camera. If not, it’s impossi*** [to watch],” said Alonso.

And this is what fans are subject to for three hours on a Friday: mundane and meaningless action.

Race fans are dishing out anything from $185.00 to $960.oo for a weekend ticket to be treated to something which Alonso himself would not pay to do.

F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone said earlier this year, “I wouldn’t spend my money to take my family to watch a race.”

pasikartojanti info bet still: James Allison could be moving closer to a surprise move to Mercedes, sources have suggested.

An example of this was a meeting of team bosses in Abu Dhabi last year, when Ecclestone and his boss Donald MacKenzie were making it difficult for Renault to finalise their return to F1 as a team owner by arguing over financial terms.

Those present report how Dennis tore into them, insisting they "pay the ******* money", for the good of the sport. It did the trick.

Certainly Ojjeh continued to make his life difficult. When, at the end of the season, Dennis wanted to keep Kevin Magnussen to partner Fernando Alonso in 2015, it was Ojjeh who stepped in and undermined him, forcing him to take Jenson Button instead.

Zak Brown could opt to take the McLaren job over a job with F1’s new owners Liberty Media due to uncertainty over the future of Bernie Ecclestone according to the Evening Standard.

‘The uncertainty over Liberty Media’s purchase of the sport and how long Bernie Ecclestone plans to stay in his job, are said to be swaying Brown towards McLaren’, the newspaper reported.

James Allison is being linked with a move to Mercedes, potentially as a replacement for executive director (technical) Paddy Lowe according to Motorsport.com.

The highly-respected Allison left Ferrari earlier this year for personal reasons following the death of his wife.

As he is on gardening leave, Allison would be una*** to join another team that at period expires next year.

Lowe, who joined Mercedes from McLaren in 2013, is being linked with a move to Ferrari

Fernando Alonso's level of performance during his Formula 1 career has been good enough to have won five or six world championships, says Carlos Sainz Jr.

Alonso won the title in 2005 and 2006 with Renault and finished runner up in 2010, 2012 and 2013 when driving for Ferrari.

Sainz, who has described Alonso as his idol and admitted studying his driving, thinks his countryman would have had more than two titles if he had better machinery.

"It's like he has won five or six [championships]," said Sainz.

"What he did with that Ferrari those years was something not many people could do and what he is doing with the McLaren is standing out.

"It's just a number, the world championships.

"If you ask the whole paddock, everyone agrees he's one of the best in history.

"Championships depends on the car or being in the right place at the right moment.

"What really makes your career and your respect, like [Ayrton] Senna did, is your performance every year."

Despite having secured the first two points for Sauber with his ninth place in the Brazilian Grand Prix, Felipe Nasr will hardly be in the F-1 in 2017. The main sponsor of the Brazilian, Banco do Brasil, has already defined that it will not renew the contract with the Swiss team and neither will invest in another team to ensure the Brazilian driver remains in the category.

McLaren has confirmed that it did hold talks with Apple earlier this year about a potential partnership, but the discussions never got as far as a bid being put on the ta***.

F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone says Singapore is no longer keen on hosting a grand prix event.

Visiškai negaila, jeigu Singapūro etapo nebebus.

Kubica stepped up his preparations with one-off appearances in the 24H Series and Renault Sport Trophy in 2016, before accepting an invitation from Colin Kolles to drive his LMP1 Privateer car in the WEC Rookie Test.

He completed 27 laps in the test and set the car’s fastest time of the day, beating regular driver Pierre Kaffer.

Sauber: We are pleased to announce the extension of the contract with Marcus Ericsson. The Swede will go into his third season for the Sauber F1 Team

Malaysia will not extend its contract to continue hosting a Formula 1 race after the current deal comes to an end in 2018, the country's tourism and culture minister said on Monday.

Kas butu, jeigu butu:

Rosberg will win the 2016 crown if...

He finishes on the podium in Abu Dhabi (regardless of where Hamilton finishes)
He finishes sixth or higher, and Hamilton doesn't win
He finishes eighth or higher, and Hamilton is no higher than third
He finishes 10th or higher, and Hamilton is no higher than 4th
Hamilton finishes fifth or lower (regardless of where Rosberg finishes)

Hamilton will win the 2016 crown if...

He triumphs, and Rosberg is fourth or lower
He finishes second, and Rosberg finishes outside the top six
He finishes third, and Rosberg finishes outside the top eight
He finishes fourth, and Rosberg finishes outside the points

Zak Brown has agreed to become a new boss of McLaren, according to Sky News.

Robert!

So it turns out Robert Kubica is still rather bloody good. The ex-Formula 1 driver got his first taste of an LMP1 yesterday during the World Endurance Championship’s Rookie Test in Bahrain and the Pole was impressive, really impressive.

Kubica drove the ByKolles CLM P1/01 AER, which races in the LMP1 privateer class of the WEC, and set a best time of 1:47.222 during the Afternoon Session. ‘Is that good?’ I hear you asking.

Well, it was massively quicker than the other guy who drove the ByKolles during that session, with IndyCar driver Francesco Dracone setting a time of 1:52.993. Perhaps most impressive though was the Pole’s lap was faster than that of Pierre Kaffer, someone who’s been driving for ByKolles all year in the World Endurance Championship.

McLaren patvirtino Zak Brown

Williams' Rob Smedley has vowed to take a step back from the thrills and spills of Formula 1 for the next couple of seasons following a 20-year stint in the sport.

Massa out, FellipeBabis irgi out.

There is a sort of symmetry to the fact that the McLaren Team's first American boss (and co-founder), Teddy Mayer was forced out (by sponsors Marlboro) to make way for Ron Dennis. Now Ronzo has been forced out to make way for another American - and one of his main tasks will be to find new commercial sponsors.

tik beda, kad jo tas sponsoriu ieskojimas yra akcentuojamas pamirstant, kad jis jau dabar dirbo su McLaren ir su tuo paciu sponsoriu ieskojimu - tai jis prisidejo prie Glaxo, Chandon ir kitu dealu - jei jau taip stebuklingai butu pavyke ju ieskoti, speju ir daugiau butu surades...

Reports that Wehrlein is now the leading candidate for the second seat at Sauber.

Butu Sauber issigelbejimas - gauti Mercedes motora vietoj metu senumo Ferrari

“The [Ferrari] team of 2009 was very balanced between Felipe and Kimi [Raikkonen],” Smedley revealed to UOL Esporte. “But the team of 2010 was completely focused on Fernando. Everything happened around Fernando. That was the problem. It had nothing to do with Massa or his driving.”

o dar kai Massa iseis i pensija, kokios graudzios kalbos liesis. Smedley labai jau cia pamirsta, kaip pat mokytojaudavo Felipinio per team radio : "OK, in turns four, five and six, Fernando stays in fifth gear." Less brake pressure if you can, turn 4. Fernando not braking at all there."

Argi Robas-FellipeBaby-Smedlis butu pasakes ka nors kito? Savo globotini girs iki grabo lentos. O kaip kitaip. Massa greiciausias visoje planetoje, tik aplinka kalta.

Reiketu Smedliui parodyti tu citatu, kur Raikkoneno stovykla skundesi, kad didziojoje Ferrari seimos harmonijoje (su Schumacherio palaiminimu) buvo fokusuojamasi i Massa, todel nesikloste santykiai tarp Raikkoneno ir Schumacherio?

2010 Ferrari negraziai padare Hockenheime. Tiksliau negraziai padare Smedlis, bet Ferrari irgi nebutinai turejo prastumti Alonso tose lenktynese. Visa kita yra tik Smedlio ir Massos verksmai, nes Alonso suminde ir Massa, ir Raikkonena po to.

Liudna zinia svajotojams: Jenson Button expects the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to be his final Formula 1 race, despite having an option with McLaren to return to the cockpit.

Laukiam naujienu is UK apie tai, kad Alonso maikiu 2018 metu sezonui nespausdina ir vis delto Jensonas gris.

aha.

"It is true that I have a contract in 2018 but, at this moment in time, I am not going to be racing in 2018," Button added.
"The whole point of this [contract for 2018] was if, in three months' time, I had eaten myself stupid and I changed my mind.
"But I don't want to go into this race thinking it's not my last race - and it is."
