The forecast is still bad both in terms of predictions of more snow fall and of a further drop in temperature.

Therefore, the decision has been taken to cancel the presentation ceremony for the new car, which was to have taken place at 10.30 tomorrow. The decision was taken because of the weather conditions and because of the difficulties that would have faced the 300 or so people due to attend from the team partners, the authorities and representatives of the media in their attempts to get to Maranello.

Photographs and all technical information relating to the car, along with exclusive interviews, will be available to all on http://www.ferrarif1.com. ]]> Quote:Maranello, 2 February – There was no let up from the snow last night, which continued to fall on Maranello and the surrounding area and the situation does not appear to be changing this morning.

Sutil has been on trial in Munich for the last two days accused of causing GBH to Eric Lux - the CEO of Lotus (formerly Renault) owners Genii Capital. Having apologised to Lux in court on Monday, Sutil has today been found guilty after wounding Lux with a champagne glass in the incident in a Shanghai nightclub last April.

As well as the suspended sentence, Judge Christiane Thiemann also fined Sutil 200,000 Euros which will be paid to charities. Yesterday in court it emerged that Sutil had offered to support Lux's African charity project following the incident, but that Lux was seeking a face-to-face apology.

Sutil's manager Manfred Zimmermann said that there would be no impact on Sutil's career, despite the judge having said the conviction was likely to have "serious professional consequences".

"This (conviction) does not mean Adrian has no future in Formula One," Zimmermann said. "There will be no consequences with the FIA and his driving ability has never suffered."

Sutil is currently without a drive for the 2012 season, having been replaced at Force India by Nico Hulkenberg. ]]> Quote:Adrian Sutil has been found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm and given a suspended jail sentence of 18 months.

When the press were going on and on with excuses about how shamilton lost the edge and Jenson is merely made to look good, which is obviously bullshit as Jensen is the no:2 driver, Jenson got cunningly under the skin of everyone in that team that bends over backwards to help the useless pile of steaming male cow excrement of a driver that is shamilton to look better.

Very well put to say no Shamilton didnt decline its just that Jensen got better, in other words I AM SIMPLY THE BETTER DRIVER regardless of what support you give the other guy.

This is all well and good we know that Mclaren will do it again and try to help the pig look better and screw Jenson, but something has changed this season they had numerous chances to screw Jenson but they didn't. It seems they are willing to look the other way more often to the point they just don't care.

There are several reasons why Alonso cant do what Jenson has done at Mclaren:

[*]Jenson is British, so why does it matter who wins as long as its a brit?
[*]Jenson is marketable and down right the smartest guy amongst the English crowd plus the world. Jenson is great for mclaren's sponsors they simply cant get enough of him. With shamilton its just ghetto punk bling, no that is not the face of a corporation. Definitely not Mclaren's
[*]Jenson's personal life isn't anywhere as bad shamilton who is really giving new meaning to certain words that cant be described on a family forum.
[*]Jenson knows how to choose words with the press after a bad race, shamilton: my team sucks, my team did that, they don't know how to choose tyres, they screwed my race, I want to throw toys out of my pram and spit me some dummies boohoo.


You can see why Mclaren are more then happy to sign Jenson to a long term contract. And curiously nothing but stalling when it comes to shamilton.

The pig will be in Mclaren for 2012, but for 2013 pig is looking it will be walking out either willingly or shall we say forced out.

Jenson, well played sir, well played indeed.

A sour race with big questions to be asked.

Did vettel really have a gearbox issue? Because they were so scared that he closing in on webber and giving webber a challenge to take the place back or when he was in the lead getting away....

Sure team orders are allowed but what if he wont yield? So the team can lie to a driver tell him he has a problem and he simply has to trust them even if his sense thats not the case.

He even set a few fastest laps when he was supposed to have "lost two gears". Now, he is very good, damn good but he is not a senna just yet to be pulling such pace with a car having lost two gears or having problem with it.

I smell foul play even webber doesn't seemed to be very happy as he should be of a "genuine" win. Maybe he know something we dont...

Anyway Redbull destroys the rest on the final race, will seriously hurt the psyche of other teams and drivers.

Webber needs the win for his morale sake but was a deserving one is one highly contentious question.

Great drive by Sutil again showing Di Resta is another media over hyped garbage like the pig. Force India must be stupid to let him go for someone else with money.

The clash between shoelicker and senna was both driver's fault. Both moved into each other when they shouldn't. FIA fail yet again in properly judging who was to blame.

Either way for Vettel he emerges a hero, getting 2nd place with two gears gone (senna won with 3 gears gone, but there was rain too where he excels) is nothing short of mighty extraordinary which no driver on the grid today could have done. Of course if any of this were true.....]]>

Bad luck finally strikes Vettel who made a great start but the tyre deflation could have happened in qualifying or even on the starting grid no way to know without the tyre remnants.

Hollow victory for the race pimp with vettel out of the way, Mclaren were the faster car but how much can they really pressure vettel had he been in the race is anyone's guess looking at Webber pace, but the DRS inability to work here helping the beaten guy to always get the position back almost immediately, its more likely vettel would have been untroubled.

Button shafted again with KERS just left out of his car until somewhere in the middle of race they can reboot it 'on call' and have it working again..... by then he is already out of the picture to even battle anyone for the lead. We remember how Alonso's engine oil caps were left in the pits when Mclaren sent him out in Spa for qualifying in 2007. Mclaren playing dirty here to try and boost the flagging moral of the pig camp.

Alonso looked like he had the chance to beat the Mclarens on the softs but the hards again proving the Achilles heel for Ferrari.

Star of the race no body but Alonso made a crap look fast. Everyone else just looked boring. Webber made a good come back but its no use when such drives are not delivered at the start when it matters and DRS flop didn't help him just as well.

Flop of the race has to be the shitty DRS which helps the beaten not the victor in a overtake duel.]]>

Flop of the race has to be the shitty DRS which helps the beaten not the victor in a overtake duel.]]> <![CDATA[Abu Dhabi GP Qualifying GP]]> http://www.alonso-planet.com/Thread-Abu-Dhabi-GP-Qualifying-GP Sat, 12 Nov 2011 07:16:30 -0700 http://www.alonso-planet.com/Thread-Abu-Dhabi-GP-Qualifying-GP

This has to be a absolute humiliation for race card pimper. Having clearly the fastest car this weekend by a mile and still gets beaten by Vettel. They need face upto reality their junk isn't doing the faster car justice. Button is there in the best position and he will perform yet again while the whiner does what it usually does, hit someone on track.

The Ferrari pace promise faded back to the usual gap, but race pace could allow Alonso to battle the Mclarens for a podium finish.]]>

Button leading for mclaren but it was all about long runs and degradation, the true picture will not be known until tomorrow, Webber's pace suggests there is much more to come especially with his very fast S3 times.

Alonso and Massa were both loosing the rear end a lot in the corners, very poor balance on the Ferraris, They nearly ended up in the barriers all the time. The run off areas helped them get away with those high speed shunts.]]>

Quote:Williams shareholder Toto Wolff has confirmed that the team is negotiating with Kimi Raikkonen over a potential return to Formula One.

Rumours have been rife for a number of weeks that Raikkonen was keen on a move back to the sport having not raced since leaving Ferrari at the end of 2009. In that time he has tried his hand at rallying and NASCAR, but Williams appears to be the most likely destination for a return in 2012.

Team chairman Adam Parr admitted in India that Raikkonen would be a good fit for the team as it looks to rebuild after a poor season, and Wolff has now said that talks are ongoing with the 2007 world champion, as well as Ferrari reserve driver Jules Bianchi.

"Yes, it's true," Wolff told Kronen Zeitung. "The Kimi Raikkonen file is on the table. The story is not for show, we are negotiating seriously, but it is only one of several options. There will be a strategic decision.

"But there is another aggressive option with the boy Jules Bianchi, and Valtteri Bottas is worthy of consideration at least for Friday's practice."

Vettel was something wasn't he?, Webber in the sme car unable to contain Button, but button got molested by vettel. Redbull wasn't the faster car by any standard, it just vettel making the difference.

Webber was as fast if not faster than the leading 4, which wasn't enough leading him to loose a place to even Alonso. Good drive for Alonso to get 3rd place.

The fail of race has to be the unjust penalty for massa who had no were to go and had the raceing line to defend as he wished. Instead the whining wimp gets away with another wreck. It makes no sense. FIA doing their part again to help a piece of shit waste of space.

Alonso looked he was 40 on the podium with his beard. Laugh]]>
