transferuri, birfe si shushanele - sezonul 2007 Options

[20krpm]

incepe silly season, si e pacat sa nu birfim ce se-aude pe la autosport si pe la bild (ca sa luam cele doua extreme).

deocamdata ce stim sigur e ca markus winkelhock a intrat in piine - si mama ce-a intrat. am savurat performanta lui de duminica, la fel si inspiratia echipei... pacat ca n-a durat mai mult.

scott speed e out pe bune (numa ca nu s-a luat la pumni cu shefu duminica), si nici tony liuzzi nu-i departe. nici nu stiu daca tre sa-mi para rau de scott (fiindca e baiat tare de gasca), pentru ca primul care vine in echipa e bourdais. si cind il vezi pe bourdais cum alearga, te-ntrebi clar "p-asta cine l-a pacalit sa alerge in cart".

my man alex wurtz era in pioneze saptamina trecuta. se pare ca e genul de individ care stie sa profite foarte bine de tot felul de curse imbigubate, si una peste alta are 13 puncte in clasament, fata de rosberg - 5...? ce zice nenea williams, il da afara sau nu-l da afara? desi... aici buba e in alta parte, problema se pune daca williams o sa vinda echipa sau ba, si dac-o vinde nu mai bag mina-n foc pentru nimic.

mai cine. honda. hoon-daaaa... ce ne facem cu ei, fratilor. schimbam management, sau schimbam soferii.

ralph. se lauda-n presa ca el are ceva pe tzava - pun pariu ca se uita la flavio cu ochelari de soare, sa nu se bage de seama un' se uita. da la toyota ma cam tem ca li s-o fi umplut de el.

ferrari ramine asa? ca parca-i o carutza de care trag toti in toate partile.

gata. mai ziceti si voi ce va e pe suflet.

Schumacher to test Ferrari at Barcelona

Seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher will return to a competitive Formula 1 environment for the first time since his retirement when he drives in an official test at Barcelona next week.

The 38-year-old will test Ferrari's title-winning F2007 on both Tuesday and Wednesday at the Spanish circuit in the first group test following the end of the season.

Following his retirement from F1 at the end of 2006, Ferrari has left the door open for its most successful ever driver to test its car and a team spokesman has confirmed the German has now expressed this wish.

“Yes, he will test it on Tuesday and Wednesday,” a spokesman told ITV-F1.com.

“As we have always said throughout the year, if Michael had the desire to drive the car, we would be happy to fulfil his desire.

“Of course, for us it is helpful to have his input in the development of the car.”

Schumacher’s input into the team’s work ahead of 2008 will prove particularly useful in Spain as F1 begins a new era without traction control and other ‘driver aids’.

Traction control has been allowed in the sport since the 2001 Spanish Grand Prix – meaning Ferrari’s current two drivers, world champion Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa, have only limited experience of running without it between them.

Raikkonen drove his first four races of his F1 career without it, while Massa has only driven with traction control.

Schumacher – incidentally a staunch advocate of traction control – raced when the device was last banned (1993-2001), making his experience next week invaluable.

"Michael has a big experience in driving cars with no traction control and no electronic aids, so it makes sense for him to give his input," Schumacher’s spokeswoman told Reuters.

Since quitting the sport in October last year, Schumacher has taken up an advisory role at Maranello and attended five grands prix during the course of 2007.

Although he has already driven the F2007 in a demonstration at Fiorano last month, his Barcelona run will mark his first extensive run-out since retiring.

He will follow this up with a kart race in Brazil before heading to Wembley to take part in the Race of Champions on December 16.

renault a pus miza mare pe capul lui alonso. se pare ca spaniolul are si un dead line care expira astazi.

Renault has pooled an incredible (US) $90 million to try to woo Fernando Alonso back to the French team in 2008 and 2009, according to reports.

The Spanish newspaper Diario As also claims that Flavio Briatore, who is still waiting to hear from his former protégé about the offer, has convinced one of McLaren's sponsors to re-defect to Renault next year if Alonso also returns to the team.

As said Movistar, a Spanish mobile brand owned by Telefonica, and BBVA, a Spanish banking group, are eager to be associated with Alonso's second Renault tenure, following a meeting in Madrid on Monday.

Insurance firm Mutua Madrilena, meanwhile, wants to switch back to Renault with Alonso, but is understood to be under binding contract to McLaren for 2008. Ron Dennis said recently that none of his team's sponsors are contractually linked with specific drivers.


The three major Spanish sponsors' super-fund to woo Alonso, however, could cost Renault its title sponsor ING, due to the clash with banking rival BBVA, As added.

It is also claimed that even if Alonso does not meet Briatore's Tuesday deadline, it does not mean that he ultimately will not return to Renault next season.

Furthermore, if the Spaniard does choose against Renault, the Spanish super-fund sponsors may simply follow Alonso to his definitive 2008 team, such as Toyota.

Red Bull, however, would be unlikely to receive the backing, due to the Austrian squad's reluctance to sell the advertising space.
