Piquet-Still Junior????

The Brazilian newcomer secured his maiden podium at Hockenheim nearly two weeks ago, but Alan Jones, the 1980 world champion, and British driver Derek Warwick, are still not convinced of Piquet's talents at the wheel of the 2008 Renault. "Compared to the achievements of other drivers such as Raikkonen, Massa, Kubica, Alonso or Hamilton, Piquet has delivered too little," Warwick, who contested more than 160 Grand Prix in the 80s and 90s, is quoted as saying by Die Welt. In the 80s, 23-year-old Piquet's father and namesake won three drivers' world championships. Australian Alan Jones, the title winner in 1980 - 13 points ahead of Piquet Snr - is also unimpressed with Piquet Jr's performances so far alongside Fernando Alonso. "In Piquet's (Snr) first season in 1979, he had his own team-mate Niki Lauda, also a twice world champion then, until control," Jones remarked.
Jones said of Piquet Jr: "He's a good driver, but the strength, the determination, the aggression, not to mention the outstanding talent of his father, seem to me to be missing." Piquet, always with his father's status, support and money behind him in his formative racing days, has endured his fair share of criticism as he struggled in the R28 in 2008. But Pat Symonds, Renault's engineering chief, thinks the Hockenheim podium might have been a turning point. "Very often when a driver has had a difficult start to their career, they get a good result and after that nothing seems to stop them," he said. Symonds continued: "It's fair to say that he has found the pressure quite difficult this year, but the result in Hockenheim is the perfect response from him."

The first Hungarian Grand Prix (Hungarian: Magyar Nagydíj) was held on June 21, 1936 over a 3.1-mile (5.0 km) track laid out in Népliget^[1], a park in Budapest. The Mercedes-Benz, Auto Union, and Ferrari teams all sent three cars and the event drew a very large crowd. However, politics and the ensuing war meant the end of Grand Prix motor racing in the country for fifty years.

A major coup by Bernie Ecclestone, the 1986 Hungarian Grand Prix was the first Formula One race to take place behind the Iron Curtain. Held at the twisty Hungaroring near Budapest, the race has been a mainstay of the racing calendar. Run in the heat of a central European summer, it also holds the distinction of being the only current Grand Prix venue that had never seen a wet race up until the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix. The first Grand Prix saw 200,000 people^[1] spectating, although tickets were expensive at the time. Today, the support is still very enthusiastic, particularly from Finns.^[2].

Due to the nature of the track, narrow, twisty and often dusty because of under-use, the Hungarian Grand Prix is associated with processional races, with sometimes many cars following one another, unable to pass. Thierry Boutsen demonstrated this perfectly in 1990, keeping his slower Williams car in front of champion-elect Ayrton Senna, unable to find a way by. The secret to a winning performance at Hungaroring, as well as qualifying well, is pit strategy, best demonstrated in 1998, where Michael Schumacher's Ferrari team changed his strategy mid-race before Schumacher put in one of his finest drives to build up a winning margin after all the stops had been made. Passing is a rarity here, although the 1989 race saw a famously bullish performance from Nigel Mansell in the Ferrari, who started from 12th on the grid and passed car after car, finally taking the lead in splendid opportunist style when Ayrton Senna was baulked by a slower runner. The circuit was modified slightly in 2003 in an attempt to allow more passing.

Other notable occasions in Budapest include first Grand Prix wins for Damon Hill in 1993, Fernando Alonso (in 2003), the first Grand Prix winner from Spain, who also became the youngest ever driver to win a GP and Jenson Button in an incident-packed race in 2006. Also noteworthy is Damon Hill's stunning near win in the unfancied Arrows-Yamaha in 1997, when his car lost drive on the last lap causing him to coast in second place.

In 2001, Michael Schumacher equalled Alain Prost's then record 51 Grand Prix wins at the Hungaroring, in the drive which also secured his 4th World Title.

The 2006 Grand Prix was the first to be held here in wet conditions. It also saw Mansell's seventeen-year-old record of winning from 12th broken, as Button took his victory from 14th place on the grid.

Timo Glock-Crash Analysis

Panasonic Toyota F-1 Team's rookie driver Timo Glock had an huge crash on Sundays German GP at Hockenhiem,the german was pushing hard at the hairpin corner...the car was reportedly at 130mph when timo crashed at the wall seperating the pitlane and the track.Timo was in concious state and was still trying to bring the car to halt and bring it out of the track.Timo was removed out of the car by the Marshal's and he was able to walk but only with the support of marshalls...after walking for a few meters a preferes to stop and took support of an pole and stood there...till the marshals provided him with a chair and he sat down...pretty shaken by the crash....Formula 1 federation or FIA hasn't provided any information about the injuries suffred by the german,but on close examination of the video it can be seen that he was constantly trying to support his lower back with his hand...which gives us an hint of lower back injuries...or a strain.

Detailled analysis-
After comming out of the final hairpin curve timo glock was pushing hard and ran a bit wide going out of the track for a few brief secondsthe reason for this could be the suspension faliur too which took as soon as he landed on the kerb which is just after the sood kurve.The video shows that as Glock landed on the kerb the right rear suspension's tie rod broke and which lead to the whole suspension system to fail and which also helped the fatal crash.

Santander....joins ferrari will Hamilton and/or alonso follow suit????

Santander is poised to join Ferrari as their sponsor after the contract with McLaren expires at the end of this year,actually i wont have been discussing this on my blog...but the twist is Santander also has(or rather always had) an sponsorship deal with Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton.Santander Joined hands with McLaren in a bid to make the best of their sponsored driver Fernando Alonso's stay at McLaren...but things went against them when alonso having a bad time with McLaren quit McLaren to join ING Renault...which is sponsored by ING an Dutch bank...which is an possible Rival of Santander an Spanish bank.

Now Santander as is Joining Ferrari in 2009 it wants it sponsored drivers(Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton) to join Ferrari too.Santander is reported to be paying both the drivers Alonso and Hamilton an extrobidant amount and both wont be really happy to lose the sponsor(Santander).
But the Fact is Ferrari doesn't have an vacant seat for any driver(test driver seats...may be...lol fernando alonso and Lewis hamilton leaving Mclaren and Renault repectively...to join ferrari as test drivers...what a funny line it is!!! ;-) LOLz).Kimi Raikkonen has an contract till the end of 2009 and Felipe Massa having his contract lasting till the end of 2010,if lewis(doubtful) or Fernando(he's despirate) wan to join ferrari(in 2009) than maybe Ferrari would have to terminate the contract with Kimi or Massa....and i don't find a reason why massa would want to leave ferrari(that to terminating contract mid way) as no team(not even Force India would be intrested in him...you could ask them....ya if Sutil quits..but replacement with fisi or sutil...Mr.Mallya or Gascoyne no one would be as much keen...aah leave it..!!!) and after this bad show at particular circuits and a lot of show of immature driving...Massa would have surely lost his seat this year but thanks to the big trust of Ferrari on him(that was once there) they had signed a contract with him till 2010....
So Fernando may get to race with ferrari not before the start of 2010 season...that to if Kimi(who was rumoured to be retiring from f-1 at the end of this season) intends to quit...as ferrari wont be happy throwing out Kimi and replacing him with Alonso....

Felipe Massa;Anthony Hamilton having a talk with Stefano Domencali

Talking about Lewis Hamilton joining ferrari...as recently many had reported that his dad cum manager Mr.Anthony Hamilton was seen talking to ferrari official Stefano Domenicali...and it could well be possible that they were talking about Lewis's switching to ferrari in near future may be after Kimi quits...it could again be nothing less than impossible cause Hamilton firstly has an 5yr contract with McLaren which ends in year 2011(starting in 2007)and again the boy who was supported by Ron Dennis and has some really big favours from him wont be most probably leaving McLaren....but still you cannot predict anything unless we are ferrari or Mclaren officials!!...
But the conclusion is that Alonso will be joining Ferrari for sure at least by 2010(but considering that Renault doesnt deliver an championship winning car in 2009 and Kimi quits F-1) and Hamilton surely not till 2012 so...the only one that's joining Ferrari at present is 'Santander'...!!!!

Ferrari's wrong sixth sense

(above)Ferrari f2004

Here's the ferrari gamble...ferrari boss luca montzemolon got so emotionally attached with the ferrari f2004 that he went on to describe it to every one he met including the press that it was the best car to roll out of maranello ever...now till that its ok..and could be true...as they had won something of 17-18 or some high amount of races that season....ok.....now what they did is that they took the same f2004(with minor modifications) and raced it in 2005 season...now that f2004 showed that its now old grandpa and he was promised a holiday in ferrari museum after the end of 2004 season(it had worked so hard that season) but ferrari broke the promise and u see what happened...after that ferrari quickly (i think at san marino) introduced the f2005 and things got a bit(i mean it) a bit better but not as much....and hence the season was spoilt....

ferraris this unwanted risk taking habit had recently caused raikkonen a possible podium..or maybe even a win at silverstone...(u knw kimi and hami left pits together) if they may have put wet weather tyres on kimis car instead of leaving the intermidiates on....

Interview with Force Indias Adrian Sutil

Having competed in the European Grand Prix at the Nurburgring in 2007, next weekend Adrian Sutil will enjoy his first experience of driving in a German Grand Prix at Hockenheim, the event he regards as his real home race. He spoke to Force India’s press office about his thoughts on Hockenheim and the season so far…

Q: How do you feel about racing at Hockenheim and your first German Grand Prix? Adrian Sutil: Actually it was the first track I ever saw. When I was 12 we went to Aachen, where some of my family lives, and we passed through Hockenheim. It was right when I was starting in karting. I asked my mother to stop there, and I went up to the stand. I was sitting there watching for half an hour, no cars running, nothing at all! At this time the long straights were still there, going into the forests. I was thinking one time I want to drive here, it's the goal in my life. It was such a special feeling when I was sitting there, just dreaming.

Q: How often have you raced at Hockenheim? AS: I've been there with many different cars and had many races there, so it's really a home race for me. I did Formula Ford, Formula BMW, F3, even the Beetle Cup as a guest starter! So going there in an F1 car will be really nice.

Q: What kind of success have you had there? AS: Good success! I always had some of my strongest races in Hockenheim. I had a few wins there and always when I finished I was on the podium. So I have really good memories. I'm really looking forward to this race, because it's one of my favourite circuits.

Q: Have you ever actually been to the German Grand Prix? AS: In 2006, when I was a test driver, I couldn't go because I was in Japan. But I was there in 2005, watching from the stands, which was really nice.

Q: So you didn't actually go into the paddock that year? AS: No, I just came with my girlfriend. We were sitting in the stadium, at the Sachs corner, and it was really, really cool. It was a great atmosphere, I really loved being in the stands with the crowd like that. Schumi (Michael Schumacher) was really quick in this race. It was all red in the stands, for sure!

Q: So when you drive round on the race weekend you'll know what it's like for the fans... AS: Exactly! It's such a special feeling when you're sitting there, it's incredible. The sound and the speed of the cars is fascinating.

Q: What about the circuit itself? AS: It's a great track. I never drove on the old version, although I did do the short track in 2002. The first corner was still the old one then, but I didn't do the long straights. The new version is a really nice circuit. The first corner is a really challenging and quick corner, and then you have the long straight down to the tight hairpin, which is really slow, but good for overtaking. Then you come into the best sector on the track, into the stadium. It's a nice right hander and you can feel the atmosphere, you can feel the people sitting there. The double right hander onto the start/finish line is a special corner, really difficult. I think if you have lots of experience on this track you can gain a little bit at this corner. Now, having driven it in an F1 car it's even more impressive. It's so quick, it's amazing.

Q: Do you think the German fans are paying more attention to you now? AS: I hope so. Especially after Monaco I got more fans, I think. We'll see in Hockenheim. The longer you are in F1, the bigger your name gets. It's just the normal way.

Q: We are already half way through the season. What's your overall feeling about how it's gone so far? AS: Actually over the last few races, from my performance point of view, I can be quite happy. I've just been very unlucky! Monaco was very unlucky for sure, and also before that we had some good first laps, and then had mechanical problems. We've had too many zero scores in the first nine races. I think only three times I've seen the chequered flag, and it's not enough.

Q: You didn't finish in Monaco, but do you think your performance there did your reputation a lot of good? AS: It was similar to last year, when Monaco helped me quite a lot. After the season that was the only thing people could remember of Adrian Sutil was that he was in P1 in Monaco practice. I think it was even more effective this year with this race. In Monaco it seems like I'm always good for a little show there! It was nice to take this chance. There will maybe be a few more chances this year, and we have to make sure to take these chances.

Q: Are you hoping for rain in places like Spa, Fuji and Shanghai? AS: Spa was very good last year in the dry! Some rain and good strategies will help, for sure, but we have to perform in all conditions. We are not able to race in the midfield at the moment, and we have to improve our car. I think the last update is worth about two or three tenths. The car feels quite good, and there is a lot more potential in the new parts. But we have to hope for more rain, although this year there's been quite a lot already! It's sometimes hard, because when it's wet you have to take a chance, and when it doesn't work out, the disappointment is quite big.

Technical Aspect-Transmission of an F-1 Car

Formula One cars use semi-automatic sequential gearboxes with six or seven forward gears and one reverse gear. The driver initiates gear changes using paddles mounted on the back of the steering wheel and electro-hydraulics perform the actual change as well as throttle control. Clutch control is also performed electro-hydraulically except from and to a standstill when the driver must operate the clutch using a lever mounted on the back of the steering wheel. By regulation the cars use rear wheel drive. A modern F1 clutch is a multi-plate carbon design with a diameter of less than four inches (100 mm), weighing less than 2.20 lb (1.00 kg)and handling 900 hp (670 kW) or so. Continuously variable transmissions have long been banned, thus creating contention in the introduction of the new seamless shift gearbox, a type of dual-clutch transmission which nearly eliminates the brief power interruption during a gear change. The ultimate advantage of this is said to be from five to ten seconds over a complete race distance, which is a significant gain when races are sometimes only won by three seconds or less. As of the 2007 race season, most of the top teams are using seamless shift transmissions. Shift times are around .05 seconds for the 2007 season. As of 2008 race season, all gearboxes must endure for four consecutive events, although gear ratios can be changed for each race. Changing a gearbox before the allowed time will cause a five places drop on the starting grid.

Retirement-Not until the end of 2009-says kimi

Flamboyant F-1 driver and the heartthrobe of many'Kimi Raikkonen',clarified that he may not be quitting f-1 atleast till the end of 2009,dismissing the rumours that he is intending to quit f-1 at the end of this season he said in an interview to la gazzeta sport"I have not broken a contract in all my life, and I have no intention of doing so now," Raikkonen told his countryman and journalist Heikki Kulta.

People were speculating that after Kimi quits at the end of this season it may well make way for Fernando Alonso,who would be more than happy to leave the struggling Renault F-1 team but now there seems no room for alonso in frerrari as even Felipe massa has his contract not terminating before the end of 2010."In 2009 i will be driving for ferrari," he added emphatically.

2008 German Grandprix(hockhenhiem)

(top)the new hockenhiem (below)the longer version of hockenhiem of 80's

1930s - 1960s

Hockenheimring was originally built in 1932 using roads in the forest as an alternative to the Wildpark-Circuit in Karlsruhe, which became forbidden as a racing circuit by German officials. It was used for motorcycle racing and was expanded to be used as test track for Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union in 1936. In 1938 it was renamed the Kurpfalzring and that name was used until 1947. After the war, Grand Prix motorcycle racing events were held, with the German motorcycle Grand Prix alternating between Hockenheim and other tracks.

The original circuit was almost eight kilometres long and consisted of two long straights with a long "Eastern" corner in the forest and a U-turn inside Hockenheim joining them together.

1960s - 2000s
Hockenheimring - 1980s and 2000s version
Hockenheimring - 1980s and 2000s version

In 1965, when the new Autobahn A 6 separated the village from the main part of the track, a new version of Hockenheim circuit was built, with the "Motodrom" stadium section. After Jim Clark was killed in 1968 in a Formula 2 racing accident, two chicanes and an armco were added. A small memorial was placed near the first chicane, at the site of his accident. In 1980, another chicane was added at the Ostkurve (east curve), after Patrick Depailler was killed there.

This version used to be quite large, with a very long, fast section going through forests essentially consisting of four straights of roughly 1.3 km, separated by a chicane sequence, followed by a more tight and twisty "stadium" section (so called because of all the grandstands situated there) named Motodrom. This made setting racing cars up difficult, as a choice had to be made - whether to run low downforce to optimise speed through the straights and compromise grip in the stadium section, or vice-versa.

2000s

In the early 2000s, F1 officials demanded the 6.8 km (4.2 mi) track be shortened and threatened to discontinue racing there, due to competition from other tracks such as the EuroSpeedway Lausitz and sites in Asia. The state government of Baden-Württemberg secured the financing of the redesign by Hermann Tilke for the 2002 German Grand Prix. The stadium section remained mostly intact, despite a new surface and a tighter Turn 1 ("Nordkurve"). However, the circuit was dramatically shortened, with the long, sweeping forest section chopped off in favour of more tight corners. The old forest section was torn up and replanted with trees. There was a great deal of criticism of the track redesign, however, the tight hairpin following the very long back straight offers an overtaking possibility.

The track has a seating capacity of 120,000, due to new large grandstands sponsored by Mercedes-Benz.

The complex also features a quarter mile track for drag racing. It hosts one of the largest drag racing events in Europe known as the Nitro Olympics.

Formula 1

The Hockenheim Circuit hosted the German Grand Prix for the first time in 1970 when the F1 drivers decided at the French Grand Prix to boycott the Nürburgring unless major changes were made. The next year the German Grand Prix went back to the Nürburgring until the 1976 German Grand Prix. From 1977 to 2006, the Hockenheimring hosted the German Grand Prix with the exception of 1985, when the race was held at the Nürburgring.

In July 2006, Bernie Ecclestone announced that from 2007 onwards, there would be only one Grand Prix per year in Germany. (Since 1995, there had been two Grands Prix every year in Germany; the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim, plus either the European Grand Prix or the Luxembourg Grand Prix at the Nürburgring.) From 2007 onwards, the Nürburgring and Hockenheimring will alternate hosting the German Grand Prix, starting with the Nürburgring in 2007.

Who could win the championship and who couldn't and Why?-

Kimi or Lewis...lets be practical...Kimi and lewis are the only championship in realtime 2008 formula 1 worldchampionship contenders other championship contenders and their flaws or demerit--
1.felipe Massa-Damn inconsistent...gets a pole and mid race becomes so charitable goes on to gift his position to others,consider kimi...even if hes starting from pits u can say he may finish on the podium....but in the case of massa only if hes in the top3 he ['may'] finish on podium and there are cases when he has lost his well earned poles to other!!!!
2.Robert Kubica-He's a great driver could win the championship surely but for that BMW-sauber car which needs a bit more fire to match the pace of McLaren and Ferrari.
3.Fernando Alonso-explode the factotries of BMW,Ferrari and McLaren now that renault could be a tob team!!! and help Alonso win the championship...if the engine doesnt blow up!!!
4.Nick Heidfield-if heidfield can win the championship than Kubica has already won it!!

Hami Hype-''He's gonna rewrite the History books''-Fans!!

Lewis hamilton,i would say he's a lucky person...who has the luck of getting an award from Ron Dennis after winning an junior karting event and then Ron supporting him all through his motorsports career just because he said at the podium''i wanna drive for your team Mclaren-Mercedes one day",but the fact has it that this young nut is a better driver than most of the young drivers on the grid...he showed it this season by outperforming his teammate(heikki Kovalaienen) and then winning the Silverstone GP,while the pole was in the hands of Heikki and lewis was qualified in the second row at 4th position...he rose with an excellent start over taking kimi(3rd) and mark webber(2nd) and giving so much pressure to hekki that by lap 2-3 he had the lead and if i have not mentioned heikki was looking like a rat who was being agressively cahsed by a cat(lewis).
But lack of experience has its own downfall and we saw it when he agreed to playing with the hi-tech steering wheel controls of that McLaren-Mercedes on the cost of not paying attention to the pit lane red light at canada and trying to fly over kimi on the cost of ruining Kimis and his own race!! and again then blaming FiA for switching that red light on...and then at Magny-cours losing that apex of the corner and telling again that he did it right...and teaching FiA that losing the apex's of the corner is a brilliant driving manoeuvre...donno abt f-1 hitory book(s) bt surely hes tryin to rewrite the f-1 rule books!!!

Hair Raising issue-Robert Kubica

Robert Kubica
I really feel happy when Robert Kubica lands on podium,well he is a damn talented driver and works really hard,but every time he's on podium and as all we tv watchers have the back stage passes(yes really!!!) we get to see drivers checking their weight,removing their helmet and every other thing thats inside that helmet...but when robert removes his helmet there is a very unhealthy balding spot or a show of receding hairline...well it could probably be due to the extreme heat inside that helmet and that sweaty momemnts....
But now when robert has proved himself to his team boses(almost)that he is the best they can get and has a big pay cheque delivered to him before the nbegning of the season and again on every podium he gets a lot of $'s and/or €'s then why doesnt he get himself done some hair treatmement which are easily available these days!!!...ok am not advertising about any hair transplant brand or company here but i think he may look really better after that....
so i have edited his image to and given him some cool hairstyles he would try...after hair transplant....

A Force From India..Vijay Mallya's team Force India...

The question is will Force India's Fate end up as Super Aguri's??...
well maybe not...not until Vijay Mallya gets bored of racing his VJM01,VJM02and so on...and history has it that Vijay Mallya once in 1970's or 80's(am a bit bad with dates...sorry!!!) was the first indian to purchase an f-1 car and bring it to india...he also raced it...well i dont know about that race much but the information i have says that it was just an fun race of (indian)big guns mostly from south india(india had just begin its tryst with (circuit)racing then before that there where rallys for sure...like the very famous himalayan rallys...hmm...),so i dont think so he may get bored of it...like it is a dream of his...
Or maybe until he doesnt get enought sponsors(that may not be the case cause talking about main sponsors 'Kingfisher'.., well he is the king of that brand...) and i think there are other corporates in india who are more than intrested in f-1...like tata's,Speed(from bharat petrolium)...and many so on, i think atleast they(FI) have a life of 6-7 years (if they are struggling) and if they are not struggling then you cant say when they are stopping(i meant to say no one can stop them...!! hehe!!!)

Juan Pablo Montoya-why he isn in F-1...

Well thinking of silverstone i remember how mclaren won there on 10th of july 2005 and an journalist had wrote somewhere that if Mclaren would ever win at silverstone he would parade naked around the silverstone track...and to his bad luck Mclaren won....lets come back to Juan Pablo Montoya...

To be in f1 and to bear those G's u need to be really fit or u know if u drive even a go-kart(which may only reach speeds of 80-88kmh) for 10-15 laps u can get tired and may not be able to walk(if u try than u can feel when keeping ur foot on ground like ur bouncing) thats wen ur not fit now think what will happen to you wen ur driving f-1 car at that speeds and that too for about 50-78 laps or more sometimes...an unfit guy would passout in the first few laps itself...
And now here is 'Juan Pablo Montoya'(i like this name...really,i liked his drivin too...sad we cant do ne thing now to watch himrace in F-1) who thought fit means increasing the size of ur tummy not biceps n chest...and then he was damn lazy to hit the gym to exercise his neck muscles and increase his stamina...and then how could he resist those tasty cheese burgers..pizzas...fried chickens and all those junks...and that money which he was offered by the NASCAR team he wanted to race for...if u wanna see the big picture u will understand that JP.montoya(now am hating his name its so big!!) was getting more money...more ads!!,more junk food...and more sleep no early morning workouts (aaah...that alarm ringing @ 5 in d morning and those tight gym shirts showing off my tummy!!) and those NASCAR's have enough space to fit his big tummy and he can also take a nap while the car goes round and round...phewww!!!
