Red Bull and TAG Heuer have extended their relationship until the end of 2018

Manor is about to be sold to a Mexican-American fellow, who will be looking for sponsors on both sides of Donald Trump’s mythical wall. We all know him, actually, but until the deal is actually signed it seems that no-one wants to say the name Tavo Hellmund out loud

The new boss of McLaren's Formula 1 team, Jost Capito, is determined to retain Fernando Alonso beyond 2017.

Geras No*** straipsnis. Very very to the point!

F1 stewards are aiming to make consistent rulings and find clarity on existing laws in regards to driver clashes and gaining unfair advantages on track, as the issues sparked up debate during 2016.

At the annual F1 stewards meeting in Vienna, Stewards Chairman Garry Connelly - a former World Rally Championship driver and member of the World Motor Sport Council for the FIA - outlined the conclusions of the meeting which reviewed the 2016 F1 season.

The American says it was Dennis who had been actively seeking to hire him at McLaren.


"Ron at the end of the day is the one who recruited me, the last couple of years he left the door open,” Brown said. “He turned up the volume in pursuit of me. I wouldn't be talking to you right now if it wasn't for him."

Yes - Browno santykiai su Ronui labai geri, plius Brownas prisidejo prie keliu paskutiniu remeju atejimo - Glaxo, Chandon ir pan.

skirta tiems, kurie jau mato, kaip Red Bull laimejo 2017 cempionata, nes nu juk Newey ir aero:
"Daniel Ricciardo isn’t expecting Formula 1’s new regulations to trip up Mercedes next season, claiming that the title-winning team will remain the benchmark for another year.
...
In an exclusive interview with Motorsport.com’s GP Gazette online magazine, Ricciardo said people should ‘not be fooled’ regarding the strength of the Mercedes package as a whole.
The Aussie claims that it’s not just the engine that has made the car so quick across recent seasons, and that he expects the team to come up with a more than competitive aero solution for 2017.
“I think a lot of people are probably getting a bit excited [about Red Bull’s 2017 chances],” Ricciardo said."

Vel apie ta pati, tik siek tiek issamiau:
Sky Sports understands Hamilton told the team he didn't want to drive again in 2016 after the Spanish GP on May 15.
Hamilton felt Rosberg was 100 per cent culpa***. Mercedes didn't.

Viewed in hindsight, there is plenty of supporting evidence to indicate something was afoot at Mercedes in the days after their drivers' Spanish GP collision and that they might need another driver.

On the Tuesday and Wednesday following the race, teams stayed at the Circuit de Catalunya for a two-day test. Rosberg ran on the first day and was due to hand over the car to Esteban Ocon. Except that Mercedes' plans suddenly changed and it was Pascal Wehrlein who was behind the wheel of the W07 when it first emerged on Wednesday morning.

It had been a very rapid change of plan: the Manor driver was only told of his call-up at 8pm the previous evening. And it was far from ideal: as F1's rules state a team must use a driver with fewer than three grands prix to their name - such as Ocon at the time - on two of their four days of in-season testing, Wehrlein's call-up automatically ruled Hamilton out of Silverstone's July test.

Why didn't the story break?
It did - just put 'Hamilton to sit out Monaco' into Google and take a look. But no sooner had the story emerged than Mercedes dismissed it.

But it's possi*** both the story and the dismissal were true. Hamilton did threaten to sit out Monaco but by the time the story broke he had changed his mind. Hence Mercedes' dismissive response.

aha, ir Skysport raso http://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/10680196/nico-rosberg-retires-from-formula-1-after-winning-world-championship

P.S.: laukiam Mercedes samprotavimu tikslinimo, kad Lewis reikia nubaust / suspenduot / atleist

Kaip suprasti?

Čia netikėtai taip

Pasieke ko norejo ir viso gero.

Labai gerbiu tokį sprendimą.

Čia dėl šeimos spėju.

Suprantamas sprendimas. Netikėtas, bet labai suprantamas ir gerbtinas. Klausimas kas dabar į Mersus? Wehrlein'as? Alonso/Hamilton Dream-Team?

Nico Rosberg:
“Since 25 years in racing, it has been my dream, my ‘one thing’ to become Formula One World Champion. Through the hard work, the pain, the sacrifices, this has been my target.And now I’ve made it. I have climbed my mountain, I am on the peak, so this feels right. My strongest emotion right now is deep gratitude to everybody who supported me to make that dream happen.
“This season, I tell you, it was so damn tough. I pushed like crazy in every area after the disappointments of the last two years; they fuelled my motivation to levels I had never experienced before. And of course that had an impact on the ones I love, too – it was a whole family effort of sacrifice, putting everything behind our target. I cannot find enough words to thank my wife Vivian; she has been incredi***. She understood that this year was the big one, our opportunity to do it, and created the space for me to get full recovery between every race, looking after our daughter each night, taking over when things got tough and putting ourchampionship first.
“When I won the race in Suzuka, from the moment when the destiny of the title was in my own hands, the big pressure started and I began to think about ending my racing career if I became World Champion. On Sunday morning in Abu Dhabi, I knew that it could be my last race and that feeling cleared my head before the start. I wanted to enjoy every part of the experience, knowing it might be the last time… and then the lights went out and I had the most intense 55 laps of my life. I took my decision on Monday evening. After reflecting for a day, the first people I told were Vivian and Georg (Nolte, from Nico’s management team), followed by Toto.
“The only thing that makes this decision in any way difficult for me is because I am putting my racing family into a toughsituation. But Toto understood. He knew straight away that I was completely convinced and that reassured me. My proudest achievement in racing will always be to have won the world championship with this incredi*** team of people,the Silver Arrows.
“Now, I’m just here to enjoy the moment. There is time tosavour the next weeks, to reflect on the season and to enjoy every experience that comes my way. After that, I will turn the next corner in my life and see what it has in store for me…”

Jei ateis Alonso tai bus awesome. :D Du geriausi driveriai vienam teame. BET, manau, vistiek nerizikuos ir ims kažką kaip nr. 2...

Alonso kaip ir negali ateiti. Negi Wehrleinui nuskilo?

Wow! Rosbergas cia dave piruetu!!!
Wehrleinui taip nuskilo, kad net sunku patiket. Ocons verkia kampe :)

O gal dar ir dar ka nors rimtesnio prikalbins...

Perskaiciau tik antraste, bet cia wow!

http://www.formula1.com/en/latest/headlines/2016/12/rosberg-announces-his-retirement-from-f1-racing.html

Hulkenberga!!!

nenustebsiu jei f-1.lt šią naujieną tik rytoj paskelbs :D ot tai f-1 puslapis...

Nesupratau Rosbergo bajerio :)

Tai kas į Mersus, Wehrleinas ar Alonsas koks?:)

Na va iki ko privedė žmogų tie visi heiterių komentarai. :(

Jeigu Alonso i Mersus, tai Hamiltonui shakes. Nemanau kad MB valdzia sutiktu su tuo.

Gi norėjo imt Alonso. Ir buvo kalbos, kad daugiau subrendę dabar jau. :D Alonso pasirašytų, jei tik pakviestų.

Jeigu paims Wehrleina čempionatas netenka pusė intrigos, tegul ima Alonzo, įdomu bus matyti kaip du gaidžiai nepasidalina gardo.:))

lai meta Hami lauk ir ima du naujokus :))

Spėju Mercedes vadovybė liepė trauktis, kad baigtųsi ta įtampa ir kontaktai trasoje. O dar kažkas svaigo, kad su Hamiltonu bus atsisveikinta.

Negi toks minkštaklynis NR, tieks streso gavo kad bijo toliau lenktyniauti :DD Matyt suprato kad kito fukso nebus, negales Mersai LH variklius gadinti visą laiką :D

Beje, apie Wehrleina, manau AF1 ir vel eilini syki sauna pro sona. Kodel? Todel kad kitais metais RBR gali kvepuoti i MB nugara is labai arti, ir abudu RBR pilotai gali surinkti daug tasku komandineje iskaitgoje. Jeigu bus LH + kazkoks naujokas, gal imti ir atsitikti taip kad MB praras komandines iskaitos titula. Taigi jiems reikia antro piloto tokio, kuris gali rinkti taskus ir pastoviai lipti ant podiumo.
