Additional race added to the 2013 calendar
Posted on 23/04/2013

The 2013 F1 season will now consist of 20 races as an extra European date has been added to the calendar.

The 2013 German grand prix will now be moved forward and take place on July 7th, a week earlier than originally planned, leaving a vacant spot on 21st July, a week ahead of the 2013 Hungarian grand prix.

No venue has yet to be confirmed although Turkey is the hot favourite and a decision expected to be given next week.

Υπάρχουν φήμες πως ο Kubica οδήγησε στον προσομοιωτή της Mercedes.

Φυγαμε για Τουρκία. Ασυζητητί. Βαζω και αμάξι από τη φραπεδομάνα αν δεν ερθει η οικογένεια.

Ναι! Και ο τίτλος της Bild αναφέροντας τον ως το μυστικό όπλο της Mercedes με ενθουσίασε ακόμη περισσότερο!
Γράφει επίσης ότι σε μία εβδομάδα μπόρεσε να συμπληρώσει 'μέχρι και 5.000 km'!

Ακριβώς εκεί που το παλιό μου renault είχε την πόμπα νερού για τα πιτσιλιστήρια

Lotus technical director James Allison to leave team

Lotus has suffered a shock early-season loss with technical director James Allison electing to leave the outfit, AUTOSPORT has learned.

Allison, one of the most highly rated designers in the Formula 1 paddock, was viewed as a key asset for Lotus as it made a push to take the fight to Red Bull for title glory this year.

But just months after initial speculation that other outfits were trying to lure him away, high level sources at the outfit have revealed that Allison has handed in his notice at the Enstone-based team.

Although Lotus was unavailable for comment when contacted, it is understood that an official announcement confirming the news - and the appointment of Nick Chester as the team's replacement technical director - is imminent.

It is not known where Allison is heading, but the most obvious destinations would be McLaren, Mercedes or Ferrari.

However, McLaren has ruled out the possibility, and Mercedes already has a wealth of technical directors. That leaves Ferrari - which has been on a recruitment drive over recent seasons - as clear favourite.

ALLISON FUTURE ALREADY A HOT TOPIC

Earlier this year, amid earlier rumours about Allison's future, team principal Eric Boullier warned against spending war among teams for top technical staff like Allison.

'I think it's insane to create a money war, when you start to pay your people crazy money,' Boullier told AUTOSPORT.

'Formula 1 is very risky, it's very demanding, it's very exposed. There are big salaries in Formula 1 and most of the time, in every field actually, higher salaries than in any other industry. But what for?

'For me the company comes first, not fighting for a couple of hundred thousand pounds to keep an employee.'

It is too early to suggest what impact his departure will have on Lotus's season, but team owner Gerard Lopez told AUTOSPORT recently that only shock events - which Allison's departure certainly is – could scupper the team's chances of finishing in the championship top three.

'Honestly, bar any surprises, I always said that the aim is for the team to finish in the top three this year. People thought that I might be joking or exaggerating but that is where I think this team can go, and that is where we are right now,' he said.

'We finished last year on the up, and we were pretty certain that we had a better car to start off with this year, with two drivers that have benefited from a full year of experience.

'The package was supposed to perform more at the beginning of the season, and it turned out it did.

'We are coming out with a fairly big package for Barcelona, which we hope is going to continue the trend and not unsettle the car.'

Allison is a stalwart of the Enstone-based operation, having originally joined the outfit in the aero department when it was known as Benetton in 1991.

His sojourn was broken up by spells at Larrousse and Ferrari, but he was back at Benetton in between. His current stint began during the Renault years in 2005, and he became technical director four years later.

O Alisson τελικά έφυγε από την Lotus.

Συνέντευξη ανάμεσα σε FA και MW

Ο χρήστης EDDIE_147 έγραψε:
Πριν κάποια χρόνια ο Μίμης ήθελε τανκς και όχι μονοθέσιο λόγω του ατσούμπαλου τρόπου οδήγησης.
Τώρα έγινε μανούλα στα ελαστικά.

Αν αύριο μεθαύριο σπάσει κανά μοτέρ θα γίνει πατερούλης στους εκκεντροφόρους.

Για τον Massa πάντως κλείσαμε ότι τρώει λάστιχα (fact).

O Kimi ήταν και θα είναι πάντα ο φονιάς των αναρτήσεων!

Η Mercedes πιο ασημένια όπως παλιά!

Σύμφωνα με τα λεγόμενα της Γερμανικής εφημερίδας Bild το μονοθέσιο θα είναι πιο πολύ ασημί και λιγότερο γκρι.

Ο Niki Lauda συγκεκριμένα είπε: « Θέλαμε το μονοθέσιο να μοιάζει περισσότερο σαν ένα «Ασημένιο Βέλος». Και πιστεύουμε πως μία καινούργια εμφάνιση θα μας φέρει και νέα κίνητρα.»

Μπορεί η αλλαγή χρώματος της W04 να κρατάει σε αγωνία όλους τους δημοσιογράφους αλλά και όλους τους φίλους της F1 αλλά η Mercedes εκτός από το νέο χρώμα έχει φέρει και νέες αναβαθμίσεις όπως νέες εξατμίσεις και νέα εμπρός και πίσω αεροτομή. Έτσι η Mercedes μέχρι στιγμής δείχνει πως μπορεί να ανταπεξέλθει στην αναβάθμιση του μονοθέσιου αλλά το θέμα είναι να δούμε εάν αυτές οι αναβαθμίσεις θα δουλέψουν.

Έτσι στο τέλος ο Lauda είπε: « Μεταξύ της Ευρωπαϊκής «σεζόν» θέλουμε να γίνουμε πιο δυνατοί κατά ένα με δύο δέκατα σε κάθε πίστα. Κάναμε καλή δουλεία στην αρχή της σεζόν.»

Ισχύει πως έληξε η διορία που είχε η McLaren για να ανανεώσει τη συνεργασία της με τη Mercedes από το '15 και μετά;
