εκτος η Toyota απο την f1 του χρονου.....
'Έπειτα από οκτώ χρόνια συμμετοχής στη Formula 1, η Toyota ανακοίνωσε σε έκτακτη συνέντευξη Τύπου στο Τόκιο την απόφασή της να διακόψει άμεσα κάθε δραστηριότητά της στο σπορ.' -
Και που ήτανε στο άθλημα τι κατάφεραν? Η μεγαλύτερη αυτοκοκινητοβιομηχανία στον κόσμο με απεριόριστο χρήμα...να μην μπορεί να κάνει τίποτα αξιόλογο.

Glock joins Manor for 2010
Timo Glock has been announced as Manor Grand Prix's first driver for its maiden Formula 1 World Championship assault next year.
The 27-year-old German, who had also been linked with a move to Renault for 2010, joins the British team following two seasons with Toyota.
'I had several options for 2010, some of them with more established teams,' said Glock.
'Every driver has the same overall objective - to win the world championship one day - but the way I want to succeed is to be part of the process of building a team and to play a key role in developing the car. This is why the opportunity with Manor Grand Prix is so exciting for me.
'I have spent a lot of time with [technical director] Nick Wirth, [team principal] John Booth and other members of the team and what I liked most is that this a real racing team run by true racers.
'The team may be small and new but it has big ambitions and a very impressive car and development programme. I am confident that I can play a big role in terms of my technical input and that's a fantastic opportunity for me. I can't wait to start testing the new car early next year.'
Wirth, who previously ran the Simtek F1 team from 1994-95, said that he was pleased to have snapped up the 2007 GP2 champion.
'It has always been my recommendation that we have at least one driver with experience of the 2009 cars to help our development programme, but to get a driver that has not only achieved podium finishes in 2009 but has such proven talent and the potential to take us forward for many years is very exciting,' he said.
'The fact that he has come and seen all aspects of the project before making his decision speaks volumes about what we have achieved so far. Now we just can't wait to get Timo into the new car once track testing begins next year.'
Glock finished 10th in last year's world championship with Toyota, despite missing the final two races following a heavy qualifying crash in Japan that left him with an injured leg.

Trulli, Kovalainen confirmed at Lotus
Jarno Trulli and Heikki Kovalainen will race for Lotus next year, after the newly-formed Formula 1 team confirmed its line-up in a press conference held at Malaysia today.
Malaysian-born Fairuz Fauzy was also confirmed as the team's third driver.
The Lotus line-up was officially revealed by Malaysia's sports minister Ahmad Shabery Cheek in a press conference at Kuala Lumpur, and the minister emphasized the government's expectations from its support of the new team.
'I'm very pleased that local talents have been recognised to help drive the team, with key appointments being made among Malaysians in particular,' Cheek was quoted as saying.
'I'm very elated that the driver development programme is already underway to promote motorsports as an affordable sporting activity among Malaysians.
'This project will not only make the country proud but will be a launch pad for Malaysia towards future growth, especially towards high-tech industry. Indeed, this project should be 100 per cent supported by Malaysians, individuals or corporations to ensure it becomes a success.
'Since the prime minister announced the 1Malaysia project in September, I'm very happy to note that the team has achieved significant progress, with the car being fully built and tested and I believe they are on track to make an impact next season'
The Malaysian minister further congratulated Lotus on its experienced choice of drivers, stating: 'I'm personally impressed with Lotus F1 Racing driver line-up for next year, with its good combination of experience, drive and stamina.
Trulli joins Lotus from Toyota, after the Japanese team pulled out of F1 last month; while Kovalainen has left McLaren, where he will be replaced by world champion Jenson Button.
Lotus team principal Tony Fernandes also outlined the drivers' experience, but also said the Italian and Finn will bring exuberance to the team.
'Trulli will bring us a lot of experience to develop the team. Heikki is a young driver with a lot of experience so I think we have fantastic drivers, with Fairuz as well. It is a wonderful mix of experience, youth and passion.'
Lotus is one of four new teams to join the 26-car F1 grid in 2010, along with Campos, US F1 and Manor. Fernandes stated the team's objective is to be the best of the newcomers.
'We are not setting any big targets, we want to at least be the best of the new teams,' he said. 'But I think it shows our seriousness today by announcing two really world class drivers.'
For Trulli, this will be the third time in his F1 career that he will team up with technical director Mike Gascoyne, having worked with the Briton in Renault and then Toyota. And the Italian admitted this was one of the main reasons he elected to join Lotus.
'I have been impressed by the long-term vision of the team management and technical staff,' Trulli said in a statement. 'Tony has set out very ambitious plans and I am ready to help the team achieve these high targets.
'I am also pleased to be back working alongside Mike Gascoyne, someone with whom I have enjoyed previous success at other teams. I get on very well with him and I respect his working style.'
Kovalainen too emphasized how impressed he is with the team's progress, saying: 'I recently visited our factory and was so impressed by seeing how far the team has come in such a short time since it was launched in September, and by how determined everyone is to meet Tony's ambitious targets.
'I knew immediately it would be a fantastic opportunity to help them achieve their goals.'
As for Fauzy, the 27-year-old Malaysian driver said joining Lotus was the highlight of his racing career, which includes testing for Spyker in F1, racing in the GP2 series and in A1GP, and most recently racing in Formula Renault 3.5, where he finished second in the 2009 championship.
'There is no greater honour than having the chance to drive for your country,' the Malaysian said. 'I was given the opportunity to do that for A1 Team Malaysia in A1GP for a couple of years, but to have the chance to join Malaysia's first fully fledged Formula 1 team is very special for me and the highlight of my career so far.
'I look forward to working closely with Jarno and Heikki on developing the car and the team in our first season together in Formula 1. I am sure we can do Malaysia as a nation proud.'

Ευτυχως που υπαρχουν και αυτες οι νεες ομαδες και ολοι θα βολευτουν καπου!!

Καθόλου άσχημα.
Ήλπιζα βέβαια ότι θα βλέπαμε τον Trulli μαζί με τον Kobayashi...
Έχουμε τίποτις νεότερο περί Kobayashi και Villeneuve που φλέρταραν με τη Lotus; -
Άντε βρε Trulli, με το καλό...
Για μία ακόμα φορά γυρνάω σε ομαδικές προτιμήσεις στον ...μπάτο του βαρελιού, στο τέλος του grid, στα 1-2-3 λεπτά τηλεοπτικού χρόνου ανά GP. Κοστίζει αυτό προσωπικά, θέλει δουλειά, αλλά θα τραβήξουμε κουπί!
Ναι ρε Lotus!(κατά το 'ναι ρε ΠΑΟΚ!']
-
Για μια καινούρια ομάδα σαν την Lotus, το οδηγικό δίδυμο είναι πολύ καλό. Για να μην πω το καλύτερο δυνατό.

γιατι πιστευω οτι η λοτους θαναι απλα μια μουφα μαλαισιανη ομαδιτσα που απλα φερει ενα βαρησυμαντο ονομα;
-
Μουφα απο ποια αποψη; Λεφτα εχουν, σχεδιαστη με πειρα εχουν, καλους οδηγους εχουν, πρακτικα στην Αγγλια θα γινουν ολα αρα;

Να σημειώσω επίσης ότι Trulli και Kova συνυπήρξαν και στις καλούτσικες μέρες της Renault (ο δεύτερος φυσικά σαν δοκιμαστής), αν δεν κάνω λάθος το 2003-04.
Εκτιμώ ο στόχος που θέτει η Lotus (καλύτερη εκ των νεο-εισερχόμενων) είναι καλός για τα 'κυβικά' της ομάδας. Αυτό που πλέον περιμένουμε οι fan της ομάδας (χε,χε, κιόλας!) είναι μια ακόμα εμπνευσμένη δημιουργία του Gascoyne. Με Trulli και Kova δεν ανησυχώ.
