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-

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'...!!!!
