Telefonica European GP-Valencia,Spain-Race Review

Last Sunday we had the European GP again(which have been in the f-1 calendar since Schumacher was an rookie and kimi,alonso were school going boys),but it was not on the historic Nurburgring but on an newly opened circuit named 'Valencia Street circuit' situated somewhere in Spain.

Well talking about firstly the circuit which is created in the midst of the city using obviously the city road(or streets!!) and designed by Herman Tike(of istanbul,sakhir,shanghai fame),Though the circuit is quite wide but its an very difficult circuit and where overtaking is next to impossible,the only way being slipstreaming and slingshot,but thanks to the aerodynamics the 2008 f-1 cars use the car slipstreaming the one at front may more difficulty in overtaking than gettting any help.

Lap1-The race started off quite well and brilliant start by massa who promptly kept his well earned pole and converted it into lead as the five red lights went off,though his team mate Kimi Raikkonen had not so good start with the Mclaren of Heikki Kovalaienen over taking himin the start itself,after which kimi just couldnt find a way past Heikki,the first corner saw couple of spins as the train of cars entered it as the race begun with David Coulthard with Rubens Barichello spinning out of the track...but sustaining no damage to the car.Kazuki Nakajima spoiled not only his but alos fernando alonso's race when he shunted the renault 's back causing the rear wing of renault to give away and also causing rear right suspension damage in the renault and prematurly ending the spaniard's race,Nakajima's Williams though only sustained an front wing damage and he joined back after changing the nose of the car.

lap 2-37-
The rest of the race saw no major changes and everything was going in the same flow,except Sebastien Bourdais breaking a part of his front wing with the help of BMW's Nick Heidfeld

Massa came into the pits in lap 37 and so did adrian sutil,its not that sutil was fighting for the lead that am mentioning him but because he was the reason for Massa becoming $10000 poorer at the end of the weekend,the reason is in lap 37 after Sutil had his stop he was crawling down the pit lane but as he came near the ferrari pit garage suddenly an scarlet car emergedand it was none other than massa's f2008 which came wheel to wheel with him,adrian being at no fault didnt back off(as expected by massa and massa had to back off to prevent his Ferrari from banging wheels with Sutil's Force india or the Pit wall!!!,

lap 38-Chequered Flag

Lap 42 saw Adrian Sutil kissing the left side tyre wall at turn 2 in his force india and hence breaking the front wing of his VJM01 in the due process.Lap 45/46 saw kimi raikkonen's pit stop which caused an pit crew member(refueller) beimg hit by the rear wing of the Ferrari and the crew member being stretchered off to the hospital,In lap 48 later Kimi's Ferrari F2008's engine blew up while on the start finish straight,the Final Lap saw Massa Winning the Race Hamilton being 5sec(approx) behind and BMW sauber's Robert Kubica scoring his first podium after Canada by finishing 3rd.

Why/How does the wheel cover on f1 cars dont spin??

,wheels,

So you guys been wondering why doesnt the wheel caps in those ferraris,BMW's and Mclaren's donot spin,i too was wondering for sometime,but then you know i dont like to wonder for a long time....and you too don like either so i wrote this post

The above image shows the total description of the stud or the bolt(slang) which keeps the axel and the wheel of an formula 1 car together,the part marked with yellow colour marker is the whole set which keeps the wheel attached with the axel,its also the same thing which is screwed out by the 'power spanner' used in the pits by the mechanics while changing tyres.

According to technical regulations in F-1 there must be no moving Aerodynamic parts in the car,keeping up with the regulations the wheel covers are attached to the 'Stud',since the stud doesnt rotate anything attached to it may too not rotate,hence the wheel cover/cap attached to stud is never found to be roating!!

Stud is not only found in f-1 cars but is almost in every road vehicle,but the difference is that in road vehicles the stud doest keep the wheel attached to the axel but there are (usually) 4-bolts which attach it,below is an image showing the stud in an normal road car and in f-1 cars-
Please Post an Comment,if you found this information true and/or useful and/or if you may have any querie about this post u can ask it as an comment.'POST AN COMMENT'

European GP,Valencia,Spain-First Look

The Valencia Street Circuit is a semi-permanent race circuit in Valencia, Spain which hosts the Formula One Grand Prix of Europe Telefónica. The circuit utilizes the roads around the port city's port area, and also includes some roads designed exclusively for racing purposes by the German architect Hermann Tilke who also designed the infrastructural buildings for the circuit.

The deal to host the Valencia race was signed on June 01, 2007 and is for seven years. The deal was been made between Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone and the Valmor Sport group, which is led by former motorcycle rider Jorge Martinez Aspar and Villarreal football club's president Fernando Roig. This deal goes back on comments made by Ecclestone previously stating that no European country should hold more than one race each year as Barcelona currently holds the Spanish Grand Prix each year.

Although now confirmed, the deal was rumored to be conditional on People's Party winning regional elections on 27 May 2007. However, Ecclestone had clarified his comments on May 16, 2007: "I said I wouldn't formalise a contract until after the elections because I didn't know who I would be signing it with." He said his statements were taken out of context. Ecclestone has since been cleared of influencing the election by the Valencian Electoral Commission.

The track under construction.

The official track layout was unveiled by Valencia councillor and transport minister, Mario Flores, on 19 July 2007. It will be 5.4 kilometres (3.4 mi) long and incorporate a total of 25 turns - 11 right-handers and 14 left-handers.It is estimated that the track would have a top speed of around 323 kilometres per hour (201 mph) with an estimated lap time of 1 minutes and 37 seconds.

The track was first used in the last weekend of July 2008, as the circuit hosted a round of the Spanish F3 Championship and International GT Open.

New Technical Rgulations to bring smiles??-F1 2009

happy times ahead?:Force India VJM01 at malaysia,sepang(above)

Next year will see the biggest change in the technical regulations for some time. It’s certainly the greatest since the grooved tyre/narrow track switch in 1998, and perhaps the largest overhaul of the rules since turbo engines were banned after 1988.
In 2009 F1 wing sizes will be reduced, movable front wing flaps allowed, slick tyres will return and engines will be allowed to use Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS). It’s a lot for the teams to get to grips with.
Some of those towards the rear of the field see this as their chance to make a leap forward and have sacrificed efforts on their 2008 programmes to get 2009 right. Which ones stand to make the biggest gains?
Honda are the team that seem to have gambled the most on next year. They’ve brought fewer developments to the 2008 car than their rivals and were the first team to test a working KERS. As a result, there have even been rumours that Fernando Alonso may join the team in 2009 as a stop-gap before his widely-expected switch to Ferrari in 2010 - because he considers Honda a better prospect for next year than Renault.
Force India might be expected to struggle in 2009 as one of F1’s smaller teams. However for the first time in several years it looks set to go into a second consecutive year with the same owner, and that consistency will be hugely welcome.
Team boss Vijay Mallya recently said:
Force India have clearly demonstrated that we have caught up and improved. One realises how tough Formula One really is and it reinforces the challenge that I have before me for 2009 to be really competitive.
I’m not only catching up from last season, but from the last three seasons. And we have caught up, even though F1 has become so competitive, which is good.
I am quite optimistic, however, that my experience so far has pointed us in the right direction. I now know precisely what I’m up against, so I can plan better. Maybe I learned the hard way, but it’s good to learn. So 2009 will be much more competitive for the Force India team.
Williams bought a stake in Automotive Hybrid Power, a company which makes Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems, in April. They also invested a lot of effort in their 2009 programme, but a few weeks ago revealed they were switching some efforts back to their 2008 campaign. Has the team lost its way?
Renault was telling everyone this time last year they would do much better in 2008 - but the R28 has scored fewer points so far than the R27 had at the same point last year. Their problems stem from a lack of engine power as recently admitted by Flavio Briatore, and continued difficulties adapting to the Bridgestone control tyres. The switch from grooved tyres to slicks will at least let them start from a clean sheet of paper in that respect.
Red Bull had a fire when they tried out a KERS, and have pointed out that they project is of little value to them, not being a car manufactuter. Given their lesser degree of resources relative to the like of BMW and Toyota, they may struggle early in 2009. What they intend to do with Toro Rosso isn’t clear.
BMW appeared to refocus their efforts on 2009 after achieving their objective of winning a race in Montreal. Rumours suggest Robert Kubica, who led the title race after Montreal, was not happy with this. They had a high-profile problem with KERS when one of their mechanics was electrocuted. But their Albert 2 supercomputer has allowed them to make excellent progress with aerodynamics and you’d expect them to do a good job of adapting to these new rules in particular.
Toyota have been strong supporters of the move to KERS and have encouraged the FIA to increase the power that can be supplied by the device. They manufacturer the world’s most hyped famous hybrid road car, the Prius. Toyota has made great progress in 2008 after a poor 2006 and 2007. But have they diverted enough of their resource to the 2009 aero programme?
Ferrari and McLaren will be pushing their 2008 programmes as hard as possible in an effort to win the championships. Their rivals will be hoping it compromises their ability to prepare for 2009, but Ferrari have said they are already manufacturing parts for next year.
McLaren’s rate of progress with its 2008 car seems to have outstripped even Ferrari’s, and the popular theory is the full resources of its expensive Technology Centre are now bearing fruit.
These two teams have been at the sharp end of F1 for decades and they’ve seen huge changes in the rules before. Are they going to be caught out by this one? I wouldn’t bet on it, but I’d look to the likes of Honda to make big steps forward next year.

KERS for some??? in 2009!!!???

BMW Sauber, Honda Racing and Williams will be suppoting the introduction of Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) in Formula One, despite concerns about safety and opposition from other teams against its introduction in 2009.

F1 teams have met twice in the past seven days to discuss the subject of KERS, with some teams feeling the safety worries and escalating costs of the technology mean it better to postpone their use in grand prix racing until 2010.

But with unified agreement among the teams needed to change F1's regulations, or at the very least put in place a gentleman's agreement that no one will run with the devices next year, the introduction of KERS looks certain to go ahead.

Renault boss Flavio Briatore is understood to have led calls for a delay when the matter was discussed at last week's Maranello meeting, with some teams happy for such a delay to happen if other teams agreed. However, with Honda, BMW and Williams opposed to such an idea, any move to postpone the introduction has been abandoned for now.

Team bosses met again in the paddock at the Hungaroring on Sunday morning to therefore implement a more open framework for resolving the issues - agreeing to publicise each outfit's safety and cost experiences.

BMW motorsport director Mario Theissen told autosport.com: "We think we should go ahead with it, and there were three aspects discussed in the meeting - two of them openly, which is safety and financial implications. And the other one, underlying the picture, is competitiveness, as you would expect.

"Our point of view is that it is good, not just for BMW but for the sport. And if it is good we should have it as soon as possible."

Theissen, whose team's KERS project is currently on hold while they investigate the recent electric shock incident at Jerez, said that delaying it would be of no benefit for costs or safety.

"No technical project has become cheaper by delaying its introduction. So if we delayed it by another year we would spend the same money without putting it on stage, and there is no sense at all.

"It is clear that we have to get the safety issues out of the way and we definitely will not race it until it is achieved. We are confident to achieve that safety and I don't see any other reason for a delay."

Theissen's feelings about the matter are echoed by Williams chief Frank Williams, who claims the vote taken at Maranello means there should be no going back.

"It is an exciting challenge that we are enjoying," he said. "There were two or three against the delay but we want to carry on with what we are doing."

Although BMW Sauber and Red Bull Racing have had safety scares with the systems, Honda Racing have so far experienced few problems – after becoming the first team to successfully complete a track test with their device at Silverstone last week.

Following a run at Santa Pod earlier this year, and having conducted rig test work on the device recently, Mike Conway drove a KERS system at Silverstone to show that the devices could work without problem.

Honda Racing team principal Ross Brawn told autosport.com: "We are happy to carry on with KERs, and we have put a lot of effort in. I think if we were the only ones who were stood out saying no then we might consider it (a delay), but we would generally be happier if it was kept."

Q & A with Panasonic Toyota's Timo Glock

Conducted and provided by Toyota's press office.

Q. From stretcher at Hockenheim to podium at Hungaroring. How does that feel?

Timo Glock: Just unbelievable. I almost had to pinch myself when I saw Felipe Massa's engine failing with three laps to go and I knew that I was in second position. I had pressure from Kimi Raikkonen in the other Ferrari over the closing laps and I was struggling a little with the softer tyre in the final stint. We knew from Friday practice that the soft tyres would be more difficult.

I had a reasonable pace and saw I was 9 seconds ahead of Kimi but then the team told me that he was half a second a lap quicker. I just tried to push more while staying focused on not destroying the tyres. In the end he was catching me up but I kept cool and made sure I didn't make any mistakes. I knew from GP2 how hard it is to pass in Budapest and it is even tougher in F1.

Q. You qualified fifth in Hungary, your best grid position by three places, and then came the podium. How do you explain the progress?

TG: In Hockenheim we had a good race pace before my crash and we came to Budapest and just kept that speed. The TF108 felt really good from Friday onwards and we didn't have to make any big changes. It was just perfect until that last stint with soft tyres, which was a bit tricky. I'm in my first full F1 championship and with just half a season gone I'm on the podium! It feels great - it was a perfect weekend.

Q. You managed to beat Robert Kubica's BMW away from the grid and take fourth place on the opening lap. How important was that?

TG: Pretty important the way things worked out because Robert had a tough race. I've had to improve my starts because my reaction times were not perfect at the first couple of races. This time the start was really great. And actually, although qualifying was good I felt I might even have been a couple of places further up the grid. I was second fastest to Massa's Ferrari with low fuel in Q2 but struggled a bit in Q3 with tyre temperatures.

I actually set my best time on used tyres because I couldn't get the tyres up to temperature for the first flying lap of my last run because Kubica was a bit slower on the out lap compared to me and I had to slow down. I lost a bit of performance on the flying lap but in the end I was happy with fifth even though I thought I could have gone quicker than Robert.

Q. Has anything fundamentally changed to help your performance?

TG: I don't like an understeering car and that was a problem sometimes this season. But in Hockenheim and Budapest the feel of the car was much more in my direction and better suited my driving style. I could just put the car where I wanted to in a corner and that was the case in both qualifying and the race.

Q. Were there any after effects following your Hockenheim crash?

TG: No. Until I came into the medical centre I was sure that maybe I made a mistake and ran a bit too wide over the kerb with a heavy-fuelled car. I had felt some bottoming and so I thought it might be my own mistake. But then the team told me that the rear suspension collapsed and that was the reason for the crash. When I saw it for the first time it looked more spectacular than it felt in the car. For sure it was a bit painful on the back in the first impact and I must have breathed at the wrong moment because I was a bit winded. But I was ready to go home from hospital that night although it was standard practice to keep me overnight for observation.

Q. What did it feel like to be front page news for a few days?

TG: Actually, answering all the same questions probably took more energy out of me than the crash. I want to make the news for race results, not accidents! In fact, what was worse was a minor case of food poisoning I picked up at the Jerez test the week after. The heat was no issue in Hungary but when I drank quite a lot throughout the race I again had a few problems with my stomach. I wasn't feeling perfect after the race but the heat wasn't the biggest problem.

Q. Do you think the team is well placed now to finish fourth in the constructors' championship?

TG: The grid is very competitive and at one circuit or in certain conditions Red Bull is stronger, then next race it is us, and so it's quite up and down and difficult to predict. But the TF108 has shown good performance in hot conditions and we were always confident for Budapest.

Q. What do you know about the new Valencia circuit which hosts the next race?

TG: I've studied a computer game, walked around the track and seen some pictures from the recent F3 race there. It looks pretty interesting for a street circuit.

Q.What is on your personal agenda for the summer break?

TG: I will go to Los Angeles, to Monterey, where there is a big old-timer event where I will drive a Toyota sportscar. Then maybe I'll spend four or five days in LA and have a little break there. I will definitely watch the Olympics. I don't have any special names to support but the cycling is definitely one thing I will follow closely.

Alonso set for Honda drive in 2009???

News-

The former double world champion suffered a disappointing year after moving to McLaren in 2007 while he has failed to reignite the glory days with a relatively uncompetitive Renault this season.

However Honda have not matched France-based Renault in 2008 and speculation still reigns that the 27-year-old driver will switch to ferrari, perhaps in 2010 when Scuderia world champion Kimi Raikkonen retires.

That raises the possibility of a one-year deal between the Spaniard and Japanese-owned Honda.

The Guardian said veteran racer Rubens Barichello would be the one to make way for Alonso in 2009.

"Fernando is a wonderful driver who would be a fantastic asset to any of the top teams, including this one," said Honda chief executive Nick Fry.

"The job [team principal] Ross [Brawn] and I have is to build a world championship-winning team."

My Take-

Well looking at the present situation.....staying at Renault would be better(he has no where to go...Mclaren-no seat,Ferrari-no seat,BMW-no seat[i think]....).....but again HONDA is not a bad idea....rather i would say a brilliant idea....Jenson Button would become an brilliant and competitive team mate and Honda has the resources but their efforts are not gettin in the proper direction...Alonso's entry could make things change...for good......my intuition says ....Honda+Alonso would be brilliant...as Renault team is really very stingy(if not team at least the CEO of Renault Auto. Carlos Goshn...who isn't much keen on investing in f-1) hence they have been running in a bad form ...mainly due to lack of proper development due to limited funds.....Even in 2005 Renault may not have won the championship but thanks to the underperforming Ferrari and the quick but unreliable Mclaren-Mercedes!!!

Why the fuel nozzel had fire on it at Hungary???

The 2008 Hungarian GP at Hungaroring-Budapest was an really hot race with soaring temprature's and which was agreed up on by the drivers,pitcrew,the visitors....and everyone present there...people also agreed that the fire in the pits especially seen during the pitstop of STR of sebastien bourdais,Williams of Kazuki Nakagima to name a few had fire in the fuel nozzle. The reason probably given by the teams were -'The reason for the fire was the volatile nature of the fuel and th high temprature at Hungary. But the inside story is diffrent.
The Inside Story-
The real reason is that as we all know losing position at the Hungarian GP(Hungaroring) is like never getting it back and vice-versa....The teams didnt wanted to lose any position of theirs due to pit-stops and/or wanted to gain a few due to the pit-stops too.
The way of guzzing the fuel into an f-1 car is-

thefuel to be inserted into the fuel tank is set beforehand,consider 5L....but due to the mechanical constraints the fuel comming out of the nozzel is usually a bit more than the set amount...as the fuel comes out really at a high rate of speed its difficult for the fuel delivery system to deliver exact quantity of fuel especially due to its liquid nature.
According to the right way of putting fuel in the car the refueller must not take the nozzel out until the fuel which is comming out is completely out of the guzzler but to save valuabe seconds the teams decided that they would remove the guzzler before all the fuel is put into the car......maybe they have been doing this for quite a few races but their trick backfired due to the high tempratures at Hungary!!
