The Man That Never Ends To Amaze

>> Wednesday, June 3, 2009


Before, I gave you the list of the 18 pilots of MotoGp. Now, I'm giving you some information about the pilots of MotoGP and also the victories that they experienced in their careers motocycling. First, that I will feature is no other than Valentino Rossi. A winner. Has the image of motorcycling. Not easy to find a real fault.

Born in Urbino (Italy)
Date of Birth:
February 16, 1979
Weight and height:
67kg-182 cm
GP courses: 210
GP won: 97


On him, he takes everything to be said and written. It is difficult to add comments on the career of this rainbow pilot because since 1996 he earned 97 victories and 151 podiums, 51 pole positions and 77 fast laps in the race, 8 world titles in four different classes and five types of motion (125, 250 , 500, MotoGP 990 and 800). Since 1997, its worst result was the third place overall in the 2007 season (because of the many technical problems), when he won in the overall standing as a second place. He spent more than 25% of its existence from a world champion, 6 of 8 World Cup he won in the class queen. He won also in the 8 Hours of Suzuka, it was also taken away the satisfaction of winning on a Superbike ... And it is useless even remember what it did, thanks to his personality, for the good of the sport which is the absolute ambassador around the world.

Application Deadline Looms For 2010 Championship Entries

>> Friday, May 29, 2009

Teams wishing to enter the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship have until this (Friday) evening to lodge their entries. So far only a handful has officially confirmed that they have submitted entries.

Of the existing constructors, just Williams have declared putting their name forward. Their rivals have so far delayed lodging entries, as talks continue over the FIA’s plans to introduce a voluntary budget cap next season. It remains to be seen whether a compromise will be reached ahead of Friday’s deadline.

Several new names are keen to compete next season, when the grid is expected to feature 13 teams. The US-based squad led by F1 veterans Peter Windsor and Ken Anderson have already lodged their entry, as has the Spanish Campos Racing concern, led by ex-Formula One driver Adrian Campos.

A number of others have declared their intention to enter, including legendary race car constructors Lola, who last competed in Formula One racing in the 1990s. Former F1 team principal David Richard’s Prodrive organisation is also understood to be submitting an application.

The FIA is due to publish details of the successful 2010 applicants on Friday, June 12.

Why Tyre Size Matters - Bridgestone Explain

As far as racing tyres are concerned, size does matter, particularly for this Formula One season, which has seen the return of slicks after an 11-seasons’ absence. The removal of the grooves which were previously on the tread area means that the proportional size of the rear tyres’ contact patch has changed relative to the fronts’.

“There are many differences between a slick and a grooved tyre, but the change of the proportional tread area in contact with the road is a very important aspect of the performance potential,” explains Hirohide Hamashima, Bridgestone’s director of motorsport tyre development. “This year we are hearing a lot of talk about weight distribution and the balance of the cars and this is related to the big changes to the regulations for the cars and the tyres for 2009.

“The latest aerodynamic regulations mean a lower and wider front wing, but a taller and narrower rear wing. This means the proportion of aerodynamic grip - the grip provided by the downforce pushing the car down onto the road - has moved towards the front of the car.

“In addition to this, there is more mechanical grip - grip provided by the tyres interacting with the road surface - than before at the front of the car, due to the proportionally bigger contact patch of the front tyre, so the latest cars have a lot more grip on the front than previously.”

The additional grip at the front means that the latest cars work their rear tyres harder than before.

“We can certainly say that the current generation car has an oversteer tendency, where the rear of the car doesn’t have as much grip as the front, and this tendency is a focus for teams in their car set-ups and designs,” explains Hamashima.

An oversteering car is generally one that is good at turning in to corners, but one where the rear of the car has trouble following the path of the front. In American terminology, the car is ‘loose,’ meaning the rear slides around. This is often fun to watch, and can result in the cars being spun, but it’s not necessarily the fastest way around a race track. So, if there’s more grip at the front than there is at the rear, surely it’s time for more grip at the rear?

“Of course, we could make more grip for the rear tyres through different rubber compounds or construction or wider tyres. However, we can’t make use of different rubber and wider tyres, because of the regulations. When we make use of different construction, however it is the front tyre which has too much grip rather than the rear tyres not having enough,” explains Hamashima.

“When we moved to grooved tyres for the 1998 season, the opposite was the problem, as the front tyres did not have enough grip. To counter this we made a taller and wider front tyre. When the rules were changed to allow slicks back we recommended that the tyre sizes were changed back to the sizes before grooves came in - with smaller front tyres - however the teams’ car designs were already very far advanced for the same size tyres as used with the grooved tyres.”

The size of the front tyre has a particular impact on a Formula One car’s aerodynamics. The front tyres present a large surface cross section to the airflow and cause a lot of drag, so a big factor in the design of the car’s bodywork and wings is trying to compensate for this.

For the future, Bridgestone has already tested a narrower front tyre and is working with the FIA and the teams regarding any potential change for the future.

“For Bridgestone we can make front tyres of the current size, or of a narrower width, so it is not a problem for us once a decision is made about the tyre size,” explains Hamashima. “The size is set in the regulations, so it is not a change we would make in isolation, it is something that if it happens it will be because there have been consultations between us, the FIA and also the teams.”

Bridgestone tested a smaller front tyre in Jerez in Spain back in March.

“The test in March, where eight teams were present, was useful for evaluating a potential new front tyre size by six teams,” explains Hamashima. “We went narrower on width, but based on what we learnt from running that tyre we would probably want to go a bit narrower still. For now, however, we have the excitement of the 2009 season.”

Suspended Three Race Ban For McLaren

>> Thursday, April 30, 2009

During the first game of F1, there is a misled race happened. Right now, the verdict of FIA to McLaren is here. Read below the articles containing the verdic:

The FIA’s World Motor Sport Council has handed McLaren a three race ban for bringing the sport into disrepute after they were found to have misled race stewards at March’s Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.

The ban will be suspended, however, in light of the ‘open and honest way’ in which team principal Martin Whitmarsh addressed the Council on Wednesday, and will only be applied if further evidence emerges, or there is another breach of the International Sporting Code.

Accepting the decision, Whitmarsh commented: "I would like to thank the FIA World Motor Sport Council members for affording me the opportunity to answer their questions this morning. We are aware that we made serious mistakes in Australia and Malaysia, and I was therefore very glad to be able to apologise for those mistakes once again.

“I was also pleased to be able to assure the FIA World Motor Sport Council members that we had taken appropriate action with a view to ensuring that such mistakes do not occur again."

The full statement from the FIA:
At an extraordinary meeting of the World Motor Sport Council held in Paris on 29 April 2009, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes admitted five charges of breaching article 151c of the International Sporting Code relating to events at the Australian and Malaysian Grands Prix.

The following decision was taken:

“Having regard to the open and honest way in which McLaren Team Principal, Mr Martin Whitmarsh, addressed the WMSC and the change in culture which he made clear has taken place in his organisation, the WMSC decided to suspend the application of the penalty it deems appropriate.

“That penalty is a suspension of the team from three races of the FIA Formula One World Championship. This will only be applied if further facts emerge regarding the case or if, in the next 12 months, there is a further breach by the team of article 151c of the International Sporting Code.”

Some Rules And Changes Of This Year's Formula 1

The most obvious rule changes revolve around the aerodynamics. The aims have been twofold: to reduce downforce, or aerodynamic grip, and to change the balance of that grip.
