Formula 1, sezona 2010

Hebem vam mater...

Formula 1 teams have agreed to introduce an extra strategic element to races this season by forcing leading drivers to start races on the same tyres that they qualified on, AUTOSPORT can reveal.


With the ban on refuelling for 2010 already forcing a big change in tactics compared to how grands prix have run in recent years, the new rule looks set to have an impact on how teams approach qualifying as well.

Although the tweak has not yet been committed to the regulations, sources have revealed that last week's meeting of the Sporting Working Group agreed to the change as a way of improving the show.


It is understood that the majority of teams present voted in favour of a rule that will require the top 10 cars that make it through to the final session of qualifying to start the race on the same tyres that they set their fastest Q3 time on.

This will open up the possibility of teams gambling on sacrificing the best possible time in Q3 by running a more consistent but less quick tyre so as to have a better chance in the race. Alternatively, teams may choose a tyre that is better over a single lap to secure a good grid position, even if it runs the risk of compromising race performance.


The teams hope that the rule tweak will serve to mix up the tactics throughout the grid and therefore lead to more exciting races.

The change still needs to be voted on by the Formula 1 Commission and the World Motor Sport Council next week before passing into the regulations, but this is likely to be a formality.

The refuelling ban this season has brought about mixed opinions about whether it will improve the racing - with some suggesting that the difficulties in overtaking will result in races turning into pure processions.
McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh said on Monday that he hoped the ban would prove a positive for F1.


"Inevitably, when you make a change, there are pros and cons," he said. "Regarding the pros, it arguably makes qualifying purer because the fastest car/driver combination will be setting the fastest times, and the public can understand that.

"Secondly, in the race itself, overtaking was often being planned and implemented to occur as a consequence of strategy, and therefore happening in the pit lane and not the circuit.


"In the absence of that effect, drivers will have a greater incentive to overtake. There have been occasions in the past where a driver hasn't had that incentive because he knows he will be running longer and can get past the car ahead strategically through the pit stops.

"Additionally, the fact that drivers will qualify on low-fuel, and then the next time they drive the car in anger into the first corner will be after a standing start with cold tyres and cold brakes and 160kg of fuel.


"That will be very challenging for them, not just in terms of getting round that first corner, but in terms of how they look after their tyres and how the balance of the car will alter as a consequence of that. And there will be drivers who are able to deal with those changes better than others.

"Those are all the positives. On the negative side, it's possible that if all of the above is managed equally well by every driver, then we'll have lost one of the strategic campaign interests that the more avid fans enjoyed in the sport. Hopefully the former points will outweigh the latter."

Jebote, šta je ovo, postat će kao neka F1 retardirana video igrica...

opet će merc vladati stazom
ovaj bolid izgleda predobro




Na prezentaciji ovosezonske livreje momčadi Mercedes GP-a (na prošlogodišnjem bolidu, novi bolid će se vidjeti tek 1.veljače na testiranju op.a.), koja se natječe u Formuli 1, njemački povratnik u natjecanje Michael Schumacher najavio je borbu za svoj osmi naslov svjetskog prvaka.

- Jedva čekam početak natjecanja. Imamo momčad sposobnu za osvojiti naslov, tvrdim to u svakom smislu tih riječi.

- Znam da će Mercedes biti kompetitivan, a siguran sam da ću i sam dati prilog tome. Osjećam se kao da mi je ovo prva sezona, posebno sam motiviran i ne mogu dočekati da sjednem u bolid - kazao je Schumacher u Merdesovom muzeju u Stuttgartu gdje je prezentacija održana.

Priliku za testiranje bolida Schumacher će po prvi puta imati u Valenciji 1. veljače.

Početak sezone SP-a u Formuli 1 zakazan je za 14. ožujka na Velikoj nagradi Bahreina.

Najuspješniji vozač u povijesti sporta nastupio je u 249 utrka Formule 1, vozeći od 1991. do 2006. za timove Jordana, Benettona i Ferrarija. Naslove svjetskoga prvaka osvajao je 1994. i 1995. za Benetton, a potom ih je nanizao pet od 2000. do 2004. vozeći za momčad "propetih konjića".

Ukupno je upisao 91 pobjedu u ponovno oživljenoj karijeri.

Uz Schumachera na čijem će bolidu biti broj 3, u svenjemačkoj momčadi će voziti i Nico Rosberg.
