Grand Prix Winner!!!!!The Monaco Grand Prix is one of the difficult race to drive and to overtake. And again Jenson Button is the Winner!!!!<br /><br />It is becoming boring these days that Brawn GP has no competition at all this season. This is again a one two finish for Brawn GP with Rubens Barrichello finishing second.<br /><br />Ferrari seem to have bounced back with Kimi and Felipe finishing 3rd and 4th respectively.<br /><br />Overall an amazing race as always. Monaco Grand Prix always has some excitement with a great track along the side of water. Amazing corners and a great street circuit.F1

new technical regulations adopted by the FIA and do not intend entering our cars in the 2010 F1 Championship<br />Ferrari are among several teams to have been angered by the FIA's plans to impose a £40million budget cap on teams from next year.<br />Ferrari are the only team to have contested every season of the world championship since the modern format was introduced in 1950.<br />The decision to threaten to pull out of the 2010 championship came at a meeting of the Ferrari board of directors in Maranello.<br /><br />Ferrari believe the FIA's new regulations would lead to an unacceptable two-tiered F1 championship, which they consider would be "based on arbitrary technical rules and economic parameters".<br /><br />If these indispensable principles are not respected and if the regulations adopted for 2010 will not change, then Ferrari do not intend to enter our cars in the next Formula 1 World Championship.F1

Something which was proved, when Barrichello, came out on track less than a second ahead of the Williams.<br /><br /><h2>So why didn’t Brawn GP switch Barrichello to a 2-stop?</h2>Ross Brawn after the race stated a 3-stop strategy was a quicker option, and Barrichello’s times in the first half of the race go to prove that, however what ever happened to Barrichello in the second half of the race was his downfall, and whether it was just a case of Barrichello not pushing hard enough, or him having as issue with his car, it seems clear that the 3-stopper was a quicker strategy. Essentially they put Button on the slightly compromised strategy to make sure he was held up, potentially costing the team a 1-2<br /><br />Ross also stated that the strategy used was essentially going to let Barrichello win, it just didn’t happen that way on track.F1 Freakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18405979144068875479noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523112335207890168.post-19651917149208578442009-05-12T00:28:00.000-07:002009-05-12T00:32:28.451-07:00No Entry to two tier F1 <meta equiv="CONTENT-TYPE" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title></title> <meta name="GENERATOR" content="OpenOffice.org 3.0 (Linux)"> <style type="text/css"> <!-- @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } --> </style> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Following Toyota Motorsport president John Howett’s comments from the Spanish Grand Prix last weekend about not wanting to participate in a two-tier Formula One, Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz has also added his concerns to the growing number of outfits.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">As discussed in the previous post regarding Toyota, the teams are not happy with the current budget cap proposals, intending to limit teams who volunteer to the scheme to £40m per season.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Also concerning the manufacturers and Mateschitz’s two teams, Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Toro Rosso, are the way the FIA have introduced this rule and intend to introduce others in the future.
