Hai sa discutam aici despre ce se intampla mai important in lumea Formulei 1 in timpul pauzei de iarna, pana la inceputul sezonului 2007: teste, stiri, transferuri, schimbari, zvonuri etc.... Incep io cu 3 stiri proaspete:
1. <<<McLaren has designed its 2007 car to suit Fernando Alonso's unique driving style. The Spaniard's countryman, 2006 test and race driver Pedro de la Rosa, made the revelation in the Madrid based newspaper Marca. "They have designed mostly the front suspension with Fernando in their minds," de la Rosa said. 25-year-old Alonso, F1's newly back to back World Champion for Renault, is noted for having one of the most distinctively aggressive driving styles - particularly on corner turn-in. De la Rosa, who is hoping to occupy the full time seat alongside Alonso next year, also said Alonso 'uses the brakes very hard'.>>>
2. <<<F1's youngest ever back to back champion, Fernando Alonso, says he would be content to retire after winning a third title. "Senna won three so for me to achieve what he achieved would be the object of my career," Spanish television channel Telecinco quoted the 25-year-old as saying. Alonso, who sealed his second drivers' crown at Interlagos on Sunday, also hinted that McLaren could be his last team in the sport. Continuing the Ayrton Senna theme, he said: "To join McLaren and to never race with Ferrari reminds me a lot of (him)." Alonso's McLaren contract is for three years. The only drivers to ever win three championships in a row were Michael Schumacher and Juan Manuel Fangio. The Spanish newspaper El Mundo, meanwhile, wrote on Monday that it hoped Alonso would 'calm down' and be less outspoken in the coming years. "It was the same with Schumacher. At the start of his career the German's image was not as good as it was at the end.">>>
3. <<<Ross Brawn's retirement or 'sabbatical' will be confirmed by Ferrari this week, according to widespread media reports. London broadsheet 'The Times' quoted race and test technical manager Nigel Stepney as saying the team reshuffle 'is not going to be easy' for the Maranello based squad. "I don't know at the moment what's happening to Ross," he insisted, "but taking two or three members out of the team and with people moving up into their places - it's difficult to say." Stepney's comments give rise to speculation that the Briton might be near the front of the queue to fill posts. Luca Baldisseri is tipped to take over from Brawn as technical director, the Italian 'Ansa' news agency said. Ansa added : "Team principal Jean Todt in all likelihood will leave the paddock and focus more on running the company." Stefano Domenicali may take over from the Frenchman at the helm, with Mario Almondo promoted to fill his post as sporting director. Engine chief Paulo Martinelli may also leave the team, to be replaced by Mattia Binotto, additional reports in Italy insist.>>>
