The Briton, who this year active for Carlin in GP2, was for the Force India team in action at Kemble airfield, to test a new aero package . This was our fourth and final aerodynamic tests of the season, "said Force India engineer Oliver Knighton.

GP2 champion Romain Grosjean has tested 2 days this week with a two years old Renault Formula 1 car . The Frenchman was in action at the Valencia circuit and drove a total of six hundred kilometers with the R29.

Tire supplier Pirelli Tyre has announced that it will take these tyres to the Japanese and South Korean Grand Prix, both in October.
For Suzuka, which contains many fast corners, the Italian tire manufacturer has chosen for the soft and medium compound . In South Korea, where the job is a lot tighter and bendy , drivers must make do with the super soft and soft tire. "We have carefully studied all the data and are confident that the ties we have chosen, it will do well on these tracks," said Paul Hembery, Pirelli motorsport boss. "Korea is a job that we do not know very well, but thanks to the latest simulation techniques, we can estimate exactly how our relationship is there will behave."
In Singapore they will drive next week with the super soft and soft tire.

McLaren drivers Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button expect to be strong next week in Singapore, where the fourteenth race of the season will be held. Last weekend Button still managed to finish second in the Italian Grand Prix. Hamilton came in fourth by the flag.

Since the departure of Kimi Raikkonen in the Formula 1 there remain several messages about the future of the Finn. Raikkonen moved last year to the World Rally Championship but was spotted last week at the factory of Williams. According to Williams, it went to a "private visit" . Raikkonen, according to the latest reports have already lost their motivation for further rounds to drive. The Finn did not turn up last weekend at the Rally of Australia and became immediately removed from the championship.

The qualifier tyres will not return next season to Formula 1, which made ​​Pirelli motorsport boss Paul Hembery clear today. The return of these fast-quickly wearing tires was one of the ideas for 2012, but plans have not received the green light.

Lotus Renault GP team has received permission to build a new simulator at the factory in Enstone. The local authorities have put the green light for the construction of the new facility, next to the wind tunnel .Team boss Eric Boullier: "Our new simulator should be ready in March. We build it yourself. We received some help from McLaren technology , we have the former head of the simulator at Red Bull Racing employees. He knows what he's talking about, so the ingredients are perfect. " Lotus Renault GP is close to contract extension with engine supplier Renault. Boullier: "We are nearing a deal,that's all I can say. We are historically connected, we have a close relationship and technology and we also have Total as a sponsor, so there are commercial reasons to continue with Renault. "

Sebastian Vettel is not the ideal teammate for Fernando Alonso at Ferrari. That opinion ventilated former team boss Flavio Briatore in Auto Bild Motorsport. "I would never put Vettel and Alonso together. It would be a weakened team because it is fragmented into two camps. "

The Ferrari Team has a familiar face to insights focused on the car next year. The Scuderia has sought advice from the retired Rory Byrne , reports the Italian Omni Corse. Byrne was from 1997 to 2005 responsible for the cars of Ferrari. The South African has once again shown his face in Maranello on a request from technical director Pat Fry and during his visit Byrne consulted on the draft for 2012 ! Ferrari promises an innovative car for next year. The Scuderia seems in any case, choosing a longer wheelbase, the seating position in order to get more focused on the needs of Fernando Alonso. The Spaniard is sitting this year more upright than he bargained for.

With a lead of 112 points after 13 races, it seems very unlikely that Sebastian Vettel could not extend his worldtitel. Nevertheless, the German says that much can happen in six races remaining.

23-25 september 2011 singapore circuit

The Singapore Grand Prix is a motor race, currently in the calendar of the FIA Formula One World Championship. It is currently held in the Marina Bay area of Singapore. Upon resurrection of the event in 2008, the first race at the Marina Bay location, which was also Formula One's first night race, was won by Spanish driver Fernando Alonso driving for the Renault F1 team.
Singapore's third Night Race was held in September 2010, in conjunction with a comprehensive 10-day entertainment schedule. Officially known as the Grand Prix Season Singapore 2010, which led up to the final race which included parties, race-themed events, music concerts, exhibitions and dining & shopping experiences.
First organised in 1961, the race was initially known as the Orient Year Grand Prix. The following year, the race was renamed the Malaysian Grand Prix. After Singapore attained its independence in 1965, the race at the Thomson Road circuit was renamed to the Singapore Grand Prix. The event was discontinued after 1973 and a variety of reasons have been suggested, including an increase in traffic, the inconvenience of having to close roads for the event and fatal accidents during the 1972 and 1973 races. It is also thought that a surge of oil prices stemming from the Suez Crisis might have been to blame (although the 1973 oil crisis would probably be a more plausible reason than the 1956 Suez Crisis).
it was announced that the telecommunications company Singapore Telecommunications (SingTel) would sponsor the event. The official name of the event will be the FORMULA 1 SingTel Singapore Grand Prix. The race was co-funded by the Government of Singapore, footing 60% of the total bill, or $90 million SGD, out of a total tab of $150 million SGD.
Around 110,000 tickets were made available for the country's first Formula One race. Corporate hospitality suites and packages went on sale at the end November 2007, three-day passes to the public went on sale in February 2008. Single-day passes went on sale a month later. The event went on to achieve a full sell-out for all of its tickets.
The first race held at the new Marina Bay Street Circuit was the 15th round of the 2008 FIA Formula One World Championship, and was also the first night-time event in Formula One history. The timing of the night event meant that it could be broadcast live at a convenient time for European TV audiences. The track was also illuminated by a series of projectors which adapt their output to match the shape of the course.[10] The race was won by Fernando Alonso driving for the Renault team, however that result has since been tarnished by controversy.
For the 2009 race, the circuit was reprofiled slightly, including modifications to turns 1, 2 and 3 to aid overtaking, and also at turn 10 where high kerbs caused many accidents in 2008.

ferrari fsx

The FSX is a Ferrari concept car designed by Academy of Art University (San Francisco) graduate, Paul Kim. The name “FSX” stands for Ferrari Sedan Xperiment, because this is pretty much what this vehicle stands for, an unusual design experiment.

The vehicle is a four-door sedan powered by a naturally aspirated mid-mounted V12 engine. It is intended to be a car for people who enjoy going on road trips with friends or family, but also like the feeling of driving a sports car.

The FSX has floating A and C pillars that direct the airflow around the top of the car, into the engine bay, keeping the V12 engine cool. To provide downforce, air is passed through the revolving rear spoiler. Also at the front of the ride there’s an adjustable splitter, that directs air in the split radiators placed on each side of the Ferrari supercar.

ferrari 553 f2
[Versteckter Link - Registrierung notwendig]
The Ferrari 553 F1 , also known as a shark because of its forms and derived from the homonymous Formula 2 is the vehicle by which the Scuderia Ferrari took part in some races of the Formula 1 World Championship in 1954 alongside the 625 F1 without ever permanently replace . It was developed from the 553 F2 .
The following year would be replaced by the 555 F1 which represented the evolution.
At the end of the 1953 season , when the Formula 2 participated in the World Championship Formula 1 , made ​​its appearance on a new Ferrari for the Formula 2 is completely different from the 500 F2 , was the 553 F2 . This car, the intention of the Scuderia, he should be the basis for the development of a future Formula 1.
Unique choice of name that, contrary to the tradition of the brand, he referred to the unit cylinder (499 cm 3 for approximate excess of 500 cm 3 ) only the first digit followed by the year of production of the car, in this case 1953.
The engine, a 4-cylinder in line, was different from that of the 500 F2, with whom he shared certain components in in-square displacement and slightly higher (1,984 cm 3 against 1,997 cm 3 ). The power was 180 hp at 7,200 rpm / min.
The frame was totally new for Ferrari and had a tubular lattice instead of the traditional longitudinal and transverse anticipating a year, the Lancia D50 . Even the setup of the car was unique with the fuel tanks on the sides of the passenger you were so swollen that create, along with the configuration of the face, gave it the nickname Shark . This allowed placement of the tanks to achieve a particularly low and tapered tail. The suspensions were identical to those instead of the 500 F2: transverse leaf spring and hydraulic shock absorbers front and De Dion axle at the rear.
With the increase in displacement to 2,500 cm 3 , cubic introduced in 1954 by the new rules in Formula 1, the car was renamed the 553 F1 and motor-square accentuated his approach with the increase of the bore to 100 mm and the power was 250 hp at 7,500 rpm / min. For the rest of the car remained unchanged apart from the addition of an extra fuel tank in the queue now less tapered. During the 1954 season, the only major changes that were subject was the elimination of the leaf springs in favor of the front coil springs with anti-roll bar before the Spanish GP in order to limit the lack of structure which had emerged in first race she entered. However, these improvements could not compensate for poor reliability and problems that plagued the structure 553 in his short F1 career.
In 'winter 1954-55 the 553 F1 was subjected to radical changes that transformed the evolution 555 F1 .
The first time a race was the 553 debuted in the Italian Grand Prix 1953 again as Formula 2 piloted by Umberto Maglioli and Piero Carini but neither finished the race. To see in action the 553 version had to wait for the F1 Grand Prix of Syracuse in 1954, race was not good for the world. The circumstances of onset, however, were quite dramatic: Froilan Gonzalez , who was driving, stopped to help team-mate Mike Hawthorn was up against a wall, which with its 625 F1 , but in his haste he forgot to Argentina's stop his car moving back downtown in the car full of English, which by then had caught fire. Both cars were devoured by the flames. Gonzalez had the same best of luck at the ' International Trophy to Silverstone where he won a race in which consisted of the race than the race itself.
The official debut in the Formula 1 World Championship took place at the 1954 Belgian Grand Prix at the wheel with flour and Gonzalez but with little luck since they both retired, also in the appointment the next thing that happened in France , where Gonzalez and Hawthorn in the race did not end engine problems.
Subsequently, the 553 F1 was seen in tests of the Grand Prix of Pescara and the Grand Prix of Switzerland , in the latter headed by Manzon and Maglioli . The first, however, failed to qualify for an incident while the second trial ended the race in 7 th place. On the occasion of the Italian Grand Prix was once again entrusted to Gonzalez who was forced to retire before resuming the race aboard the 625 of Maglioli winning the 3 rd place.
The only success came in the 553 in Formula 1 Grand Prix of Spain at the hands of Mike Hawthorn after the car had been revised in the suspension department. Party in the front row, the Englishman suffers from the start the pace of Maserati , Lancia and Mercedes found themselves so slightly delayed compared to the first. However, at lap 10 the brand new Lancia D50 by Ascari , who was authoritatively in the head with a considerable advantage over his pursuers, was forced to retire with a leak-oil in the clutch and Hawthorn finds himself third behind the Maserati Harry Schell and Ferrari 625 F1 Maurice Trintignant and before Mercedes W196 Fangio. Schell then retires for transmission problems, Trintignant is forced to slow down and control passes to Hawthorn, which is always followed by Fangio. In the end, the Mercedes of Fangio lags far overheating, due to sheets of paper that have clogged the air intake cooling, and has to slow down significantly leaving Hawthorn sure of final victory.

What a fantastic Race from Schumacher just like the good old Times again a Rocketstart and than the Fight with Hamilton hard but i think fair.All the Critics can see today Schumacher is still one of the best Driver of all Time!
