I hope in my turn I have helped Force India grow up and be on the right path to achieve their own ambitions. They are now a very competitive team and I wish them all the very best.�<br /><br />With Felipe Massa, currently recovering from injuries sustained in Hungary, out of action for the remainder of the season and test veteran Badoer failing to shine at both Valencia and Spa Francorchamps, the Italian team were left with little alternative other than to look elsewhere for the remainder of the season.<br /><br />"Giancarlo and his management team approached me yesterday with the proposal from Ferrari," stated Force India team principal Vijay Mallya. "For any Italian driver, a Ferrari race seat is a long-held dream and for Giancarlo it was no exception. No one should stand in the way of this.<br /><br />"Furthermore the agreement will secure Giancarlo's long-term future with Ferrari and it would be incorrect to jeopardise this, particularly when Giancarlo has made such a vital contribution to Force India.<br />Click here to find out more!<br />"<br /><br />Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali was keen to praise the outgoing Badoer as well as welcoming Fisichella to the Italian team.<br /><br />�We have chosen Fisichella because we can expect him to make a valuable contribution in this final part of the season,� said Domenicali. �Giancarlo has shown, throughout his long career that he is fast and competitive and we are therefore proud to be able to run an Italian driver in our home race.�<br /><br />For Badoer, his final two Grand Prix were something of a �thank you� from Ferrari for his long standing service to the team as test driver. "We wish to thank Luca Badoer for the team spirit he demonstrated in these circumstances," said Domenicali. "It is a shame he was unable to show his true worth in these last two races, tackled under conditions which anyone would have found difficult.�<br /><br />Ferrari is third in the constructors� championship and heading to its home race at Monza and will be looking to extend their 12 points cushion over the recovering McLaren Mercedes team.<br /><br />Force India is expected to promote test driver Tonio Liuzzi to the race team in place of Fisichella with an announcement �in the coming days�.<br /><br />Stefano Domenicali confirmed on Thursday that Giancarlo Fisichella will be Ferrari's reserve driver next year.<br /><br />The team boss was speaking to the Ferrari website on the day the 36-year-old former Force India driver arrived at Maranello from Rome to begin preparing for the last five races of 2009.<br /><br />Domenicali indicated that Fisichella's role for next year was a factor in his choice as Luca Badoer's race replacement.<br /><br />"He will be the reserve driver in 2010.� He said. �We considered what could be his role inside the team in the near future, also taking this year's experiences into account.�<br /><br />Before ending his long race career and slipping into the test role, Fisichella will replace the struggling Badoer at the wheel of injured Felipe Massa's F60, beginning at his home race at Monza next weekend.<br />Click here to find out more!<br /><br /><br />One of his first tasks on Thursday was to climb straight into the cockpit of the red single seater so that technicians could begin to modify the seat and controls to his liking.<br /><br />"I�m in seventh heaven," Fisichella said. "I still can�t believe it that the dream of my life comes true. I know that it won�t be easy, but I�ll give it everything to gain the best possible results. I want to say that I�m very sorry for Luca - I know how much he cared to race in Monza behind the wheel of a Ferrari, because this is the best thing that can happen to an Italian driver, to drive a red car in front of our fans."<br /><br />E.A. � CAPSIS International<br />Source: GMM<span style="font-weight:bold;"></span><br /><br />www.f1-live.com<br />http://f1video2009.blogspot.com<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://sham2008.ipodpsp.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top">Satellite Tv For Pc</a>

Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa covered around 500 kilometres and the Italian team now has plenty of data to work on with a view to qualifying and especially French Sunday's Grand Prix. <br /><br />Felipe Massa set the fastest lap of the day with a 1:15.306s in the morning session and was second fastest in the afternoon despite a stiff neck. Raikkonen was third in the morning and fourth in the afternoon.<br /><br /><strong>Felipe Massa</strong><br />"It was a good day, apart from a slightly tight neck which I began to feel this morning: so as not to take any risks, I chose to avoid doing too many runs of several laps. I therefore concentrated on the car's set-up, working with both types of tyre. On the softer ones, it seems to be a little bit harder to find the right balance, but we must take into account that today, as usual on a Friday, the track is still dirty. Everyone suffered a bit with graining on the front tyres, but tomorrow the situation should improve. We must study all the data we have gathered to prepare as well as possible for qualifying and the race."<br /><br /><strong>Kimi Raikkonen</strong><br />"I am happy with the way things went during these two free practice sessions. We got through all our usual Friday job list, working mainly towards the race. Of course we don't know how much fuel our main rivals were running, but I get the impression we are very competitive. Maybe I did not get the most out of the first lap, but I am happy with the balance of the car. <br /> <br />We tried out this new system for a Safety Car period and I think it could be a good solution because it puts everyone in the same situation and that way, you can't be penalised just by unfortunate circumstances."<br /><br /><strong>Stefano Domenicali, Team Principal</strong><br />"Overall, it was a good start to this race weekend. Both drivers declared themselves pleased with the handling of the F2008 on this track. In evaluating the results, the usual unknowns come into consideration, these being the fuel taken on by the other teams and their work schedule, but we can say we are confident for the rest of the weekend. Coming off the back of two negative results, having not fulfilled our potential, it's time to get back to our usual standards."<br /><br /><strong>Luca Baldisserri</strong><br />"Because Felipe was suffering with a stiff neck this morning, we slightly modified the two drivers' programmes from the usual ones. The Brazilian concentrated on defining the best set-up on the car, while Kimi also had to tackle the task of evaluating the behaviour of both types of Bridgestone tyre available to us. We are happy with the work we did today: the F2008 seemed to be going well on this track and that means we can be cautiously confident for the rest of the weekend."<br /><br />E.A. © CAPSIS International<br /><br />http://en.f1-live.com/f1<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.searchfeast.com/?id=sham2008" target="_BLANK"><img border="0" width="226" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_5FxxDNMUJh4/SDvA-3xc7kI/AAAAAAAAAUA/jVF2QrPxX8c/S226/plain.gif" height="25"/></a><br /><br /><a href="http://webads.adpost.com/" target="_BLANK"><img border="0" width="88" src="http://webads.adpost.com/images/adpost11.gif" height="31"/></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/12826651677455803666" target="_BLANK"><img border="0" width="88" src="http://www.blogger.com/buttons/blogger-simple-blue.gif" height="31"/></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://sham2008.ipodpsp.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top">Satellite Tv For Pc</a>

The Brazilian eventually set a best time of 1:15.306s. <br /><br />Lewis Hamilton set the second fastest time in his McLaren Mercedes with a best lap of 1:16.002s. Both Hamilton and team-mate Heikki Kovalainen struggled for grip throughout the session with Hamilton frequently locking his front left wheel under braking. However, Hamilton remained on the worn set of tyres and was unable to respond to Massa’s gains. <br /><br />Kovalainen set the third fastest time and survived a lurid trip into the gravel after losing the rear end of his MP4-23 in the ultra-fast Estoril right hander. Kimi Raikkonen was fourth fastest in the second Ferrari, just under eight-tenths off the flying Massa. <br /><br />Canadian Grand Prix winner Robert Kubica was in his customary fifth position in the leading BMW Sauber with team-mate Nick Heidfeld ninth fastest. Fernando Alonso was comfortably sixth fastest but was forced to pull off in the final minutes of the session as his Renault V8 failed in dramatic fashion. <br /> <br />However, being free practice, there will be no grid position penalty for the former champion. <br /><br />Jarno Trulli was firmly in the top ten in his Toyota and despite a spin exiting the Adelaide hairpin late in the session, managed the seventh fastest time just ahead of the impressive Sebastian Vettel in the leading Toro Rosso Ferrari. With Heidfeld ninth, Timo Glock rounded out the top ten in the second Toyota. <br /><br />Nelson Piquet set the 11th best time in the second Renault seventh-tenths of a second behind team-mate Alonso while the Red Bull Renault duo of David Coulthard and Mark Webber proved closely matched in 12th and 13th. <br /><br />It was not a particularly encouraging start to the weekend at Williams Toyota with Nico Rosberg and Kazuki Nakajima 14th and 17th. Rubens Barrichello led the way again at Honda with the 15th best time ahead of Sebastien Bourdais in the second Toro Rosso, Nakajima and Jenson Button in the second Honda. <br /><br />Giancarlo Fisichella was 19th in his Force India Ferrari while team-mate Adrian Sutil was forced to miss the final third of the session for an as yet unknown reason. Sutil was 20th and slowest. <br /><br />Earl ALEXANDER<br />© CAPSIS International <br /><br />http://en.f1-live.com/<br /><br /><a href="http://www.searchfeast.com/?id=sham2008" target="_BLANK"><img border="0" width="226" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_5FxxDNMUJh4/SDvA-3xc7kI/AAAAAAAAAUA/jVF2QrPxX8c/S226/plain.gif" height="25"/></a><br /><br /><a href="http://webads.adpost.com/" target="_BLANK"><img border="0" width="88" src="http://webads.adpost.com/images/adpost11.gif" height="31"/></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/12826651677455803666" target="_BLANK"><img border="0" width="88" src="http://www.blogger.com/buttons/blogger-simple-blue.gif" height="31"/></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://sham2008.ipodpsp.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top">Satellite Tv For Pc</a>

"But I don't feel any stronger than last year."<br /><br />The Finn admitted he will need a bit of time to adjust to the new car.<br /><br />"The cockpit is a bit straighter, there's lots of innovations, above all we've lost traction control and it will be a bit difficult to control in the wet," he said. "There's still changes to be made but that's the same with every new car."<br /><br />"We're ready and with (team-mate Felipe) Massa we have a good atmosphere and we'll try to keep that and fight to the end to retain our titles. <br />"<br /><br />The F2008 car reflects changes made to the racing regulations for the new season with traction control and the electronically-assisted starting system removed. Other areas affected by the new rules are the gearbox, which must last four races, and safety elements regarding helmets.<br /><br />Massa meanwhile said he felt very emotional about the new car and likened it to having a child. "I've never had a son but for the team it's like a baby has been born," said the Brazilian. "It's a special day and now we need to work hard to ensure that the child grows and becomes as fast as possible. The 2008 season is all about this child. I hope that this child will give us the ability to win."<br /><br />Source AFP<br />© CAPSIS International <br /><br />Technorati tags :</span><br /><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Michael+Schumacher" rel="tag">Michael Schumacher</a> | <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/F1" rel="tag">F1</a> | <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Ferrari" rel="tag">Ferrari</a>| <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Kimi+Raikkonen" rel="tag">Kimi Raikkonen</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://sham2008.ipodpsp.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top">Satellite Tv For Pc</a>

Undoubtedly new model on display will undergo further aerodynamic enhancements ahead of the season opener in Melbourne. <br /><br />The sidepods do however appear visibly changed over its predecessor with a raised front aspect with various aero additions to the front aimed to create maximum cooling efficiency as well as the all-important flow of air around the car. <br /><br />Kimi Raikkonen is slated to shake-down the chassis tomorrow at Fiorano. <br /><br /><br />We’ll bring you more details of the new car shortly.

We have worked on the weakness and solved it," he added.<br /><br />Tombazis also rejected suggestions that Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari's new world champion who joined the Italian team in 2007, faced internal criticism for his failure to communicate effectively with the team.<br /><br />"Kimi speaks little, but he says important things," Tombazis remarked, also explaining the Finn's apparent difficulty to adapt to Ferrari life early in 2007.<br /><br />"The change from Michelin to Bridgestone cost him, which is what happened to Alonso as well. He needed some time to understand his new team and environment," he added.<br /><br />"Since Indianapolis, however, he had a very strong end to his season," Tombazis said.<br /> <br />www.f1complete.com<br /><br />Technorati tags :</span><br /><a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/Michael+Schumacher" rel="tag">Michael Schumacher</a> | <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/F1" rel="tag">F1</a> | <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/Ferrari" rel="tag">Ferrari</a>| <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/Kimi+Raikkonen" rel="tag">Kimi Raikkonen</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://sham2008.ipodpsp.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top">Satellite Tv For Pc</a>

However, the deal contains an opt-out clause that would enable Alonso to leave the team in twelve months' time. <br /><br />Alonso's return to Renault, two years after he left Flavio Briatore's outfit, became a likelihood when the team escaped punishment at last week's World Motor Sport Council hearing. <br /><br />'It is a pleasing outcome for Alonso, who maintains his status as the second-highest earner on the grid behind Ferrari's world champion, Kimi Raikkonen, five weeks after being dismissed by McLaren,' says The Daily Mail. <br /><br />After months of uncertainty and speculation, all the final pieces for the 2008 driver line-up are falling into place. <br /><br />Nico Rosberg has committed himself to Williams, leaving Pedro de la Rosa the favourite to partner Lewis Hamilton at McLaren next season. <br /><br />However, Alonso's return to Renault puts a question mark against the future of Heikki Kovalainen and Giancarlo Fisichella. With Renault also keen on promoting Nelson Piquet junior, both drivers could yet leave the team. <br /><br />'Kovalainen has also been touted as Hamilton's next team-mate. He is the preferred choice of the Hamilton camp and is seen as a good team player who would not cause undue disturbance in the way the temperamental Alonso did,' reports the Mail. <br /><br />'Kovalainen would appear to be in a two-way fight with McLaren's experienced test driver Pedro de la Rosa. A veteran of 72 grands prix over eight years, he represents the safe option and is popular within the team. <br /><br />'As a Spaniard, he would also satisfy several of McLaren's sponsors, who stand to lose out from Alonso's departure.' <br /><br />Technorati tags :</span><br /><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/f1" rel="tag">f1</a> | <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Alonso" rel="tag">Alonso</a> | <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Renault" rel="tag">Renault</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://sham2008.ipodpsp.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top">Satellite Tv For Pc</a>

I told him personally that there are so many nice things outside of F1. But I don't know all his options. There are other cockpits which are not taken, so he might see other options." <br /><br />Schumacher recommended that his brother ought to consider taking a break from the sport. <br /><br />"If he can get a good result then he should. He is able to bring good results and he is motivated to do so. <br /><br />"But it is different for me. I would not be so motivated to race, and if it doesn't fit then maybe he should stop and have a break. He is young enough to stop, re-evaluate the situation and come back. <br /><br />"I have to say my experience in coming back in Barcelona showed I did not have trouble coming back. I did not lose a bit, so he can do it too." <br /><br />Source: http://www.planet-f1.com<br /><br />Technorati tags :</span><br /><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/f1" rel="tag">f1</a> | <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Michael+Schumacher" rel="tag">Michael Schumacher</a> | <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Ferrari" rel="tag">Ferrari</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://sham2008.ipodpsp.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top">Satellite Tv For Pc</a>

As three drivers fight for the Drivers’ crown, this weekend’s race promises to be the most compelling of the season. São Paulo’s Interlagos track is the venue, with the Carlos Pace Autodromo celebrating its 25th anniversary in Formula One, having welcomed the sport for the first time in 1973. With the battle for the other Championship positions still on-going, AT&T Williams will be drawing on a wealth of experience attained in Brazil. The team has won one in five of all Brazilian Grand Prix entered, set 34% of all fastest laps and secured one in three pole positions. <br /><br /><strong>Nico Rosberg</strong><br />Interlagos is a great circuit and I am looking forward to it. It’s a cool track, with a variety of corners and surface undulations. The past two races have been difficult, so I hope to finish the season well and to hold on to my present position in the Drivers’ Championship. São Paulo is also a place where you can have some fun in the evenings, so I would imagine it’s going to be a good weekend. I am going to Rio de Janeiro first for a PR day with Petrobras, so I’ll get to São Paulo early on in the week. It’s fantastic for Formula One to have a three-way battle for the Championship going into the last race of the season, which is not a situation that happens very often. Personally, I hope Lewis manages to win because he deserves it.<br /> <br /><strong>Kazuki Nakajima</strong><br />I’m obviously feeling really excited about my first Formula One race. I’ve never driven at Interlagos before, so I’ve been doing lots of preparation work in the team’s simulator at Grove. I’ve also ramped up my training in the gym to help me cope with the pressures on my neck because it’s an anti-clockwise track. It looks like it’s going to rain over the weekend, so the weather is going to make the whole process quite tricky. I’m trying not to put any pressure on myself though. I’m going to take it at my own pace, work through each session step by and step and, above all, just enjoy it. <br /><br /><strong>Sam Michael, Technical Director, Williams F1</strong><br />Interlagos is a well laid out track. It has a lot of gradient changes over the lap and two long straights which are crucial for overtaking. The performance of the car in the corners that precede the straights is the most important consideration when it comes to car setup. Lying 750 metres above sea level, São Paulo has the lowest ambient pressures of any circuit that we race at. With pressures around 930mbar, we lose around 8% of our normal downforce. Drag is also reduced by around 8%, but so is engine power, so top speeds remain the same. The grid line up is traditionally tight due to the low fuel penalty and short lap time. Coupled with a long pit lane, the strategy is a close call between a one and a two stop strategy so we will see a mix of both on race day. Bridgestone are bringing the Soft and Super Soft tyres to the race, but we may not get to use them as the forecast is currently predicting rain all weekend. As this is the last race of the 2007 season, we will be pushing hard to claim points in the Constructors’ Championship. We have had two races in a row where we haven’t scored points due to various circumstances, but we are aiming to change that in Brazil.<br /><br /><strong>BRAZILIAN GRAND PRIX PREVIEW</strong><br />Alex Wurz has retired and we thank him again for all his hard work in developing the FW29 and contributing to the Constructors’ points for AT&T Williams this year. He is a great guy to work with and we wish him well for the future. As a result of Alex’s retirement, Kazuki will be in the car in Brazil making his Formula One debut. It’s a big weekend for him as part of his next stage of development.<br /><br /><strong>Interlagos Circuit, São Paulo, Brazil</strong><br />The 71 lap Brazilian Grand Prix will be a true test of durability, heightened by the fact that the race is run in an anti-clockwise direction. The 4.3km circuit consists of 13 medium and slow speed corners, nine left and four right, and has a blend of long, fast straights and gradient changes. With such a varied layout, set-up<br />compromises are inevitable, and the challenge lies in achieving optimal aerodynamic efficiency around the lap. Interlagos is a notoriously bumpy circuit, so not only is it draining on the drivers, but the cars must have a good mechanical balance for driveability. Combined with the bumps, the track is also particularly abrasive, so harder compound tyres must be selected to ensure their survival. Engines are also under intense pressure in Brazil, with the long straights demanding extensive periods at full throttle and high revs, while the high altitude and thinning air saps approximately 8% of overall power around the lap. Plenty of overtaking opportunities, combined with the area’s unpredictable weather conditions, will only enhance what is always an entertaining spectacle in Brazil.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://sham2008.ipodpsp.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top">Satellite Tv For Pc</a>
