Čini mi se da sam zaboravio jedno "d" na kraju O:)
Dakle, vozač je David Coulthard.
Sorry!

Videli ste FerariJev bolid 310, 10 cilindara 3 litre ?
Slabo se razumem u F1, kako to ide, neka firma napravi
svoj model i odmah ga pusti u opticaj bez obzira što je
'jači' od konkurencije, odma' ide u trku ?
auto-moto.9stefan,
-> #8, crncic> Videli ste FerariJev bolid 310, 10 cilindara 3 litre ?
Po pisanju Žurnala Ferari je imao poprilično problema sa svojom aždahom
(crkavao menjač, eksplodirao motor...). Inače, prva trka - GP Australije
se održava 10. marta.

Izgleda kao i Benetton-ov prosle,a bogami i ove godine.Pored
njih,takav nos su konstruisali jos Tyrell i Ligier,a mislim i
Jordan.Mislim da je cak i FISA naredila ovakve promene zbog
valjda vece bezbednosti,mada nisam siguran.
auto-moto.12miko,
-> #8, crncicWW>> Videli ste FerariJev bolid 310, 10 cilindara 3 litre ?
Glavni problem Ferarri-ja bio je,a i ostace motor...Naime,po
tradiciji oni su konstruisali samo V12 motore koji su bili
strasno teski i koji su trosili mnogo goriva.Sada su odlucili
da okrenu novi list i oprobaju se sa V10 motorima sa cijom
konstrukcijom oni nemaju mnogo iskustva.Odatle i brojni
kvarovi,eksplozije motora i ostali problemi doticnog bolida.
Jedina dobra stvar kod tog bolida,trenutno,je sto Schumacheru
zadaje velike muke ;)) Cak se pre nekoliko dana i zapalio
u njemu.
WW>> Slabo se razumem u F1, kako to ide, neka firma napravi

Da,pod uslovom da spada pod odredjene (propisane pre sezone)
granice regularnosti.

Motor je projektovao Osamu Goto, nekada glavni inženjer Honde.
Njegove kreacije su oni Monstrumi od 1000+ konja (6 titula u
kategoriji konstruktora) kojima je Ayrton Senna pisao istoriju.

Schumachera zaista ne podnosim,ali je cinjenica da je

auto-moto.25wiper,
Hillov veliki problem je sto mnogo misli dok vozi
On jednostavno nesme da nagazi do poda dok vozi .
A svaba izvlaci maxsimum i uvek je brzi
Ne pamtim kad je Hill kasno kocio ili nekoga iseko
A bez toga se nemoze biti sampion

Ma Hil nema pojma - Kulhard je za njega izmislio voznju
Baricelo je dobar
Sto se Dzordana tice tipujem na Baricela da uzme neku pobedu ove sezone
Barem jedno dve pobede.
O njemu ce se tek pricati..

Jordan ima dobar auto i jos jaceg kompanjona koji im pravi motor,
pa moze svasta da bude! Sto se tice Mclarena iza nji je MECA pa mogu
veoma da iznenade. Mika i David su odlicni vozaci i borci, pa ce sa
ovim novim bolidom uciniti trke mnogo zanimljivijim.
Moje je misljenje da od Ferarija nece biti nista ove sezone, a da ce
sledece da budu najbolji.
Hil je dobar vozac, ali nekako neodlucan i pomalo plasljiv, pa ce za
ovogodisnju titulu da ga vadi samo auto. Vilnev je odlican vozac, gle-
dao sam vecinu trka INDY C., pa moze cudo da napravi.
Naravno ja i dalje navijam za Hila!!

auto-moto.31senna,
Evo i obecanog teksta o novoj sezoni...
Pocetak ove sezone bice vrlo zanimljiv,timovi na vrhu su
poprilicno izjednaceni, a nova pravila za 1996. su izgleda
bila jedan od znacajnijih faktora u smanjenju razlika izmedju
timova. Veliko razocarenje su slabiji timovi, kojima budzet
ili nije bio dovoljan ni za golo ucestvovanje (Simtek) ili je-
dva omogucava egzistenciju (Forti,Minardi). Ostali se kako ta-
ko snalaze,a treba dosta ocekivati od tzv druge lige (Tyrell,
Jordan,Ligier,Sauber).
Nova staza u Melburnu je na prvi pogled odlicna, ni malo ne
lici na nove stereotipne staze koje se samo stancuju. Krivine
su uglavnom duge i ne preterano ostre, otvaraju se prema izlazu
sto omogucava lagano i ravnomerno ubrzavanje kroz celu krivinu,
posle pocetnog kocenja (nesto kao Ascari i Parabollica u Monci).
Povrsina staze je izuzetno ravna i to bi trebalo da pomogne ti-
movima koji kubure sa ogibljenjem (npr. Dzordan prosle godine).
Australijanci planiraju da dovedu oko 250 000 ljudi na trku,
i svi ocekuju veliki spektakl na pocetku sezone.
Najvece sanse za pobedu svakako ima Williams koji vec vise
godina odrzava kontinuitet sa Hillom kao vozacem i odlicnim Re-
naultovim motorom.Villeneuva svakako ne treba zanemariti,ali
na samom pocetku sezone ne ocekujem da ce biti bolji od Hilla.
Benetton ima problema oko novog bolida,posebno sa novim me-
njacem,ali sam siguran da Flavio zna sta radi i da ce uciniti
sve da i ove sezone uzme titulu. Alesi ce konacno dobiti sansu
da se takmici za pobede makar na priblizno ravnopravnom nivou
i siguran sam da ce uciniti sve da ove godine postane sampion.
Berger ce takodje odraditi svoj posao do maksimuma i njegovo
veliko iskustvo sigurno puno znaci za Benetton.
Ferrari i dalje ima mnogo problema oko novog bolida i samo
ce ih cudo dovesti do ravnopravne borbe sa Williamsom i Bene-
ttonom u prvih nekoliko trka ove sezone. Ako nesto i urade bice
to zbog Schumacherove voznje ili ispadanja ostalih konkurenata.
Irvine je pokopao svoje sanse potpisivanjem ugovora u kome je
jasno definisano da on mora da propusti Schumachera,makar ovaj
bio i sporiji od njega.
McLaren je ove godine brzi nego prethodne,a Hakkinen i Cou-
lthard nisu uopste losa vozacka postava. Najveci problem im je
Mercedesov motor koji je mozda jak,ali je svakako nepouzdan.Na
testovima u Estorilu eksplodiralo im je ukupno 5 motora sto
svakako nije mala cifra. Iako je Hakkinen imao najbrze vreme
na tim testovima ne verujem da ce biti u prednosti u odnosu na
bolide sa Renaultovim motorima.
Jordan nastavlja svoj konstantni uspon i mislim da ce ove
godine mnogo cesce biti u borbi za visoke pozicije. Barichello
je u timu vec nekoliko godina i konacno je blizu borbe za prvu
poziciju,a Brundle je izuzetno iskusan i brz vozac,jedini koji
je ravnopravno vozio sa Schumacherom u Benettonu. Peugeotov
motor konacno je prebrodio probleme sa pouzdanoscu i sigurno
ne zaostaje puno za Renaultom.
Tyrell je bacio svoj proslogodisnji bolid na otpad i napra-
vio novi,po vrlo striktnim paramterima. Ljudi iz Tyrella su
racunali da je klasicna krivina u f1 110-140 km/h u drugom
stepenu prenosa i usredsredili su se da ostvare optimalne pe-
rformanse bolida bas u takvim uslovima. Mika Salo je bio dosta
brz na testovima,a Katayama ima problema sa svojom pozicijom
u bolidu zbog vrlo niskog rasta.
Ligier ovo godine ulazi u fazu konsolidacije i sami su rekli
da ne ocekuju puno ove sezone. Panis je ponovo prvi vozac,a Di-
niz je doveden samo zbog para koje vuce sa sobom (sponzor Parma-
lat).
Sauber ce ove godine imati novi Fordov V10 motor za koga ce
ipak trebati jos mnogo razvoja da bi dostigao konkurenciju.
Herbert ce ovaj put (za razliku od prosle sezone) imati jednak
bolid sa timskom kolegom,pa me bas zanima sta ce uraditi pored
Frentzena.U svakom slucaju ne verujem da ce biti ni gori ni
puno bolji od prosle sezone.
Od ostala tri tima (Footwork,Minardi i Forti) ne treba puno
ocekivati zbog vec pomenutih problema sa finansijama. U tom po-
gledu u najboljoj situaciji je definitivno Footwork a Forti je
na samoj ivici propasti.
Ove godine treba ocekivati i jednu novost: uvodi se mogucnost
timovima da imaju i po tri vozaca na pojedinim trkama. Da li ce
neki tim to iskoristiti ostaje da se vidi. Sto se samog izgleda
bolida tice najprimetniji novi detalj su izdignute ivice kokpita
sa leve i desne strane zbog vece sigurnosti vozaca, a mozda se
do kraja sezone uvede i crna kutija koja bi sluzila iskljucivo
za analiziranje udesa.
Toliko od mene o pocetku nove sezone, ocekujem da ce biti za-
ista zanimljiva i da Schumacher nece opet biti sampion ;).
auto-moto.32obren,
-> #26, wiper> Ma Hil nema pojma - Kulhard je za njega izmislio voznju
Pa ne bih se složio da baš nema pojma :) Možda nije genije, ali je
dobar vozač. Kultard se ispalio na kraju sezone, ali meni je to
ličilo na pokušaj da se što bolje proda. Imao je nekoliko pol
pozicija, vozio neobuzdano tokom trka i zbog toga često ispadao.
Sada je u McLarenu prvi vozač, pa će imati prilike da se iskaže.

Pročitah u žurnalu podatak da je Džordan prešao 900 krugova bez
ijednog kvara motora! Ne znam kakve su mu performanse, ali mnogo
im znači kada mogu da se oslone na motor. Baričelo je nekoliko
puta ispadao sa odličnih pozicija ne svojom krivicom.

STEWART GRAND PRIX JOINS FORMULA ONE
-Coulthard will stay with McLaren-
_________________________________________________________________
January 5, 1996
Jackie Stewart will be returning to Formula One in 1997 as head of
STEWART GRAND PRIX, a team backed by Ford Motor Company. The
three-time world champion will be chairman while his son Paul (PAUL
STEWART RACING: Formula Vauxhall, Formula Three and Formula 3000) will
be on as managing director. The team (with a rumored budget of
$45,000,000 US for the first year) will be using Ford's new Zetek-R
V10 which has kept SAUBER interested in Ford as it's supplier of
engines. Ford will also be involved in electronics, aerodynamics, and
chassis development as it raises its involvement in Formula One. A
spokesman for Ford stated that the new agreement with STEWART will not
affect their commitment with SAUBER.
The team will start looking for drivers this July. Speculation brought
names like Damon Hill, Heinz-Harald Frentzen, and especially fellow
Scot David Coulthard. However, on Friday Coulthard ruled out all
rumors that he would join STEWART GRAND PRIX stating that his contract
with McLaren will run through 1997. He did add that the new team plus
Ford's greater commitment to Formula One will make things even more
exciting for the fans.
Ferrari moves tests; Tyrrell to test soon
_________________________________________________________________
January 5, 1996
Ferrari moves tests
The Ferrari team has announced that the test session planned at the
end of January will be moved up one week. The reason for this, they
say, is that the car isn't ready yet. Schumacher will be testing the
new V-10 engine, which held up and came through the last session
without braking down, at Fiorona (Italy), the home-track of Ferrari
near Imola, from the 5th until the 10th of February.
_________________________________________________________________
Tyrrell to test soon
The Tyrrell Yamaha team will start testing at Silverstone at the 17th
of January. After this test session they will go to Barcelona for
another test period. They will be testing with the old car but with
the new Yamaha engine, the OX11A, and with the new gearbox the Tyrrell
team has developed.
Schumacher to McLaren?
_________________________________________________________________
January 8, 1996
Mercedes-Benz and McLaren want to win races in the 1996-season. After
the ongoing stream of disappointing results the McLaren team want to
improve. They also want to compete in the race for the world
championship tittle, this goal is set for a long time period. For the
championship tittle they want to hire current world champion Michael
Schumacher as soon as his contract with Ferrari expires, in two years
time. It seems 'Schumi' is becoming a sort of 'wonder doctor' for
curing failing Formula One teams in the eyes of the big bosses. Well
we must fist see how the 'doctor' does with Ferrari, maybe he doesn't
even pass his 'medical exams'.
Schumacher pre-tests V-10 Ferrari
_________________________________________________________________
January 9, 1996
Michael Schumacher is testing the new V-10 Ferrari at Le Castellet
(France). The high speed circuit Paul Riccard is extremely suitable
for testing the durability of the new Ferrari engine, because the
engine has to work at his top level for a long time. Several different
computer programs for the electronic control of the engine will be
installed on the Ferrari at this pre-test period before the planned
test program kicks off, in a few weeks time. Schumacher will drive a
complete Grand Prix distance on Wednesday.
Bernie Ecclestone a fortune-teller? Verstappen-Arrows deal still
unsure
_________________________________________________________________
January 10, 1996
Bernie Ecclestone a fortune-teller?
Bernie Ecclestone has said Michael Schumacher can defend his world
champion tittle in the Ferrari in the 1996 season. But the 65 year old
Briton tipped Jacques Villeneuve as a potential candidate for the
tittle. To explain his statement Ecclestone said: "He does exactly
what is necessary, not too much and not too little." He also said it
was better Gerhard Berger retired from Formula One. Has dear old
Bernie become a fortune-teller? Or is it just he needs to retire
instead of Berger?
_________________________________________________________________
Verstappen-Arrows deal still unsure
The Arrows Team is looking for money, not because they are having real
financial problems but because they don't want Taki Inoue as one of
their drivers. Inoue is willing to pay 5 million dollars for a
contract. Arrows would like to see Verstappen and Morbidelli as their
drivers in 1996 so a quest for cash is needed.
A contract for Dutch driver Jos Verstappen is still unsure. The Arrows
team want to release the news concerning the oncoming season all at
once, this also includes which type of engine they are going to use.
Tyrrell signes Katayama; Schumi denies tax-dodging; Premature end
tests Ferrari
_________________________________________________________________
January 11, 1996
Tyrrell signes Katayama
The Tyrrell Yamaha team has signed Ukyo Katayama for next season. The
Team will start testing soon now both drivers are known. Katayama also
drove for the team of Ken Tyrrell in 1995 but he didn't score any
points. His best place was 7th at the Grand Prix of Germany. He
started a total of 15 Grand Prix in 1995 and finished four. Ukyo had a
huge crash at the Grand Prix of Hungary but didn't suffer major
injuries. The best result of his career was a fifth place. His debut
was the Grand Prix of South-Africa in 1992.
Katayama said about his oncoming fourth season in a row with Tyrrell:
"It's a great honour to drive for Ken Tyrrell again. I'm looking
forward at testing the 024 and the new Yamaha-engine." Ken Tyrrell
said about the deal: "We are delighted to continue working with Ukyo.
He was a revelation in 1994 and put in some great performances." With
this seat gone Mark Blundell is almost certain of the end of his
Formula One career for now.
_________________________________________________________________
Schumi denies tax-dodging
Michael Schumacher turns away the latest accusations made of him
dodging taxes. Schumacher had to say about the accusations: "It's an
old case. The villa in the South of France concerned belongs to my
manager Willi Weber." Hopefully he doesn't have anything to do with
it, like he says. We don't like to see another manhunt like German
tennis-star Steffi Graff had to suffer a while ago.
_________________________________________________________________
Premature end tests Ferrari
It was raining cats and dogs at the circuit of Le Castellet (France).
This was the reason why Michael Schumacher had to end the tests
prematurely on Wednesday. The German tried to start the session four
times but with just nine laps driven he was forced to park his Ferrari
in the pits. This was also the case on Thursday. He could now only
drive 44 laps, but the engine worked fine. Because this session was
ended so soon the Ferrari car can't get enough test-miles to start the
new season in Melbourne with a good developed car and engine: "It is
sure we will not end all the races." Schumacher will try to complete
the total Grand Prix distance on Friday. Maybe he has better luck with
the wether then.
Coulthard happy with McLaren; Schumacher thinks Ferrari is OK
_________________________________________________________________
January 12, 1996
Coulthard happy with McLaren
Today, Friday, was the first day David Coulthard could drive his
McLaren-Mercedes after heavy rain all week at the Estoril circuit
(Portugal). He tried out new components on the old chassis together
with Alain Prost. The Scotsman was very happy with the McLaren, he
said: "I'm quite surprised and pleased by the balance of the car."
McLaren are extending testing over the weekend.
_________________________________________________________________
Schumacher thinks Ferrari is OK
Michael Schumacher is satisfied with the V-10 Ferrari after the tests
at Le Castellet (France). He would drive a complete Grand Prix
Distance in the morning but due to have rain this session could not
take place. In the afternoon he could drive 38 laps without having any
problems with the new engine: "Today was not about speed but about
durability. We still have enough time and work before the season
start." He seems to repeat himself again and again. He needs to
realise teams like Williams and Benetton are all about speed and
durability. If Ferrari keeps on going for only the durability they may
miss out on the front rows in the new season.
Schumacher wants more tests
_________________________________________________________________
January 13, 1996
Ferrari-star Michael Schumacher wants to continue testing at Le
Castellet (France) as soon as possible. He believes they need to
improve the V-10 engine further. Most likely is that the tests will
continue on the 22nd of January. Schumacher's words were: "The 420
kilometres has shown that we still lack some power compared to the
Renault."
If the weather would have been better Ferrari could have made more
test kilometres. Now the Ferrari team is hoping for better luck next
time. The more tests they can make the greater the chances are at
winning some Grand Prix in 1996.
Blundell moves to Indycar; Villeneuve fastest in tests; ex-F1 pilot
convicted
_________________________________________________________________
January 15, 1996
Blundell moves to Indycar
Mark Blundell is going to drive Indycars next year. He has signed up
with PacWest Racing Group alongside ex-Formula One driver Mauricio
Gugelmin. Blundell was not offered a seat in Formula One so leaving
Indy Cars as the logical option. Blundell impressed the team in a test
just before Christmas. Blundell commented on his decision: "I'm
looking forward to a new challenge and it's the start of a great
future in Indycar racing. Mark replaced ex-Indycar driver Nigel
Mansell at McLaren in 1995.
_________________________________________________________________
Villeneuve fastest in tests
Jacques Villeneuve leads the tests at Estoril (Portugal) team-mate
Damon Hill. Overnight storms soaked the circuit but Villeneuve could
drive 52 laps in the afternoon. He clocked a best time of 1:21.7. Hill
came to a best time of 1:22.1. Hill drove 8 laps in the morning and
just 27 laps in the afternoon. This is the beginning of serious
testing with the new car for 1996. The McLaren team will start testing
on Tuesday.
_________________________________________________________________
ex-F1 pilot convicted
Ex-Formula One driver Hans Joachim Stuck has been convicted of
tax-dodging between the years '84 and '89 with a fake US company. He
was given a money fine of 350.000 German Marks and a two year jail
sentence. He paid 600.000 Marks to stay out of jail. He also paid the
tax money he owed: a total of 2 million + 1 million Marks fine.

Schumacher and Hill crash
Michael Schumacher has wrecked his V-10 Ferrari at a test at the
Ferrari home-track at Fiorano (Italy). He slammed his car into a
guard-rail on his second lap of the day. He damaged the front and
suspension of the Ferrari.
The German later blamed himself for driving too hard on cold tyres on
a section of the track still covered in frost. Schumacher escaped from
the crash without injuries.
Hill also crashed his car in the tests at Estoril (Portugal). He lost
control over his Williams in the long fast and notorious second turn.
His right-hand rear wheel took the punch when the car slammed into the
barriers. Hill completed just 7 laps and was again outpaced by
team-mate Villeneuve. Hill could walk away unhurt.

Boullion stays on with Williams
Frenchman Jean-Christophe Boullion will continue to be the test driver
for the Williams team. Williams have confirmed this.
Boullion lost his place with Sauber to Johnny Herbert.
Jean-Christophe will start testing later this week with the team at
Estoril (Portugal). "It's important to have continuity at all levels,"
said team-boss Frank Williams. But why didn't he want to keep
Coulthard?

Hill favourite WC tittle 1996 according to Eddie Jordan
Michael Schumacher will not be world champion in 1996 again according
to Eddie Jordan. He said: "The most important factor this season is

tittle." Hill is the favourite for Eddie. And he predicted that
Brundle will be 'the surprise'.

Frentzen in new Sauber
H.H. Frentzen has tested the new Sauber-Ford V10, the C15, today at Le

Schumacher wants to move to Switzerland
Michael Schumacher wants a bigger house and more quiet surroundings.
This is the reason why he wants to move to Switzerland. This is also
the reason why he has spend so much time in the villa of his manager
Willie Weber, in the south of France. His spokesman, Heiner Buchinger,
said: "He is being harassed by tourists in Monte Carlo." The most
likely location is near the Genter Lake.
Well he has got the money.
Minardi sign Lamy; Lauda stays with Ferrari
_________________________________________________________________
Sunday January 21, 1996
Minardi sign Lamy
The Minardi team have signed Pedro Lamy as their first driver. The
contract is for one year, according to Lamy's manager Domingos
Piedade. Lamy was the first Portuguese driver ever to get a world
championship point in Formula One. This was during the last Grand Prix
of 1995, the GP of Australia, also with the Minardi team.
_________________________________________________________________
Lauda stays with Ferrari
Niki Lauda will stay with Ferrari in 1996. He has made a deal for one
year with the chef of Ferrari, Luca di Montezemolo. After a year of
speculations whether Lauda would stay with Ferrari it is finally
clear. Laude said for the Austrian television on Saturday: " I will
not visit many Grand Prix but overall it will stay the same."
Introduction of the 'idiot test' and metal brakes?
_________________________________________________________________
Tuesday January 23, 1996
The FIA wants the drivers to take a driving exam next year. The exam
will test a drivers knowledge of rules and emergency procedures in
order to decrease the number of possible accidents. The test will
contain multiple-choice questions on: flags, safety cars, prematurely
ended races and what to do in the event of a spin causing the car to
be pointed in the wrong direction. Martin Brundle called it an 'idiot
test'.
The FIA is looking to reintroduce metal brakes to replace the
currently used carbon fibre, which in the opinion of the FIA are just
too good. The old steel discs had associated wear problems, often
running out before the end of the race. The carbon fibre brakes have
be accused in the past of spoiling the possibility of drivers
out-braking each other, by reducing the braking distances to a minium.
The cars in the IndyCar series run steel brakes on road courses only.
The steel brakes may be re-introduced with the aim of increasing the
brake distances, therefore increasing the opportunity to pass. The
steel brake option had been submited to the Technical Working group
last year. However trials with Damon Hill in 1995 in a steel-clad FW17
yielded the quickest time of the day in testing. Patrick Head said
there was no noticeable difference in the braking distances, and Damon
Hill said he liked the feel of the steel brakes.

Williams may be charged with death Senna
The public prosecution office in Italy wants to charge Frank Williams
for the death of Ayrton Senna, who got killed at Imola on May 1 1994
possible due to a badly welded steering rod. The Italian judicature
holds Williams responsible. Williams could stand trail for
manslaughter.
_________________________________________________________________
Stewart goes Asia
Ex-Formula One world champion Jackie Stewart is seeking sponsorship
for his Formula One team, which will start competing in 1997, in Asia.
He already had talks with a Malaysian consortium. The Singapore
property and hotel group were 'very interested' he said. Stewart also
wants to go to Thailand, the Philippines, Japan and Taiwan to seek
finance for his team. Stewart added: "I would like to have at least
one British company, one North American company and two from the Asian
basin."
_________________________________________________________________
Ferrari not happy with weather at tests
The Ferrari tests at Le Castellet were prematurely cancelled today due
to bad weather conditions. Michael Schumacher could drive the planned
laps in the beginning of the afternoon in the new V-10, but he
couldn't test the new engine to the full. Despite the rain he was
satisfied with the tests which will now be prolonged by his team-mate
Eddie Irvine.
_________________________________________________________________
Head thinks Hill has the best changes for WC in 1996
Patrick Head believes Hill has the best chances of winning the world
championship tittle in 1996. Head said: "It's probably his best
chance, I would say." He also added: "I feel Damon can do it even if
Williams new signing Jacques Villeneuve is taking points off him. But
that is a problem within the team that we will address later. At
Williams, we always allow the drivers to race against one another at
the start of the season before assessing the situation." But Frank
Williams was not so sure: "It's too early to say but we are very
satisfied that we have the strongest driving line-up and if there are
no serious problems we will be satisfied that we can be fully
competitive." Head also added they would need to work on the pitstops.

Schumacher unsure about Ferrari Release Date
Ferrari said the new car will be presented on February 10th but
Michael Schumacher is not so sure. He said at a press conference at
the Indykart-Cup in the Schleyer Halle in Stuttgart (Germany): "I hope
the new car will be ready mid February." Schumacher is present at this
event just 'for fun'. He will be competing against drivers like: Karl
Wendlinger, Christian Danner and Ellen L÷hr.
Schumacher had to park his kart beside the track due to a technical
fault only twelve laps before the end of the race. Schumacher was
leading. Formula Three driver Wolf Henzer won the race.

Arrows confirms Verstappen
The Arrows team has confirmed that Dutch driver Jos Verstappen will
drive their first car at least in 1996. The team will present the
whole team on February 13 at Silverstone (England). Verstappen has
said that Ricardo Rosset would have the 5 million dollars needed for
the second seat. Money was the biggest problem for Verstappen, he
didn't have enough to buy himself into a team, even with sponsors like
Philips Car Systems and Marlboro, but because he did an outstanding
job at the Arrows test session at Estoril (Portugal), he was about 3
seconds faster than the fastest driver at Arrows did last year, he got
himself a seat.
_________________________________________________________________
New Ligier Presented
The new Ligier JS 43 and the drivers: Panis and Diniz were presented
today to the press in Monaco. Panis prolongs his contract with the
team while Diniz drove with the Forti team last year. The team
director, Walkinshaw, stated: "We want to get into the top three of
the best Constructor in the next three years." The Ligier will be
powered by Mugen-Honda V-10, just like last year.

Safety in F1
Black boxes, like the ones used on aeroplanes, will be installed on
Formula One cars in 1997, but Max Mosley added they could be used on
experimental bases this year. The FIA have agreed with the teams that
the information will only be used in case of accident. Accidents, like
the one Ayrton Senna had, can be resolved sooner and measures can be
taken to prevent other crashes. The FIA also wants a code by the
European Commission saying all accidents should be investigated.
There will be no airbags in Formula One cars because the cockpit is
simply too small. But the research is continuing, also some
alternatives, like collapsible steering columns, are looked at.

Jordan are putting a brave face on prospects even when the tests
didn't go as well as they wanted.
Barrichello and Brundle complained of basic handling problems of the

High hopes for new Tyrrell
_________________________________________________________________
Wednesday January 31, 1996
Tyrrell have launched their new car with which they are confident of
winning GPs this season with their drivers Salo and Katayama. Tyrell's
engineering boss, Dr. Harvey Postlethwaite, said they are certain the
all-new Tyrrell Yamaha 024 will be a big improvement on last year's
car.
"We set ourselves a lot of tough technical targets and we have carried
out intensive tests to ensure we achieve them."
The new car is especially designed for the circuits on this year's
Grand Prix calendar. The car, powered by an ultra-compact 3 litre
V-10650 bhp OX11A engine made by Yamaha, will have a new chassis, six
speed gearbox and suspension. Almost the entire car has been designed
at the Surrey headquarters.
"We analysed the characteristics of all the circuits hosting a Grand
Prix and it was very enlightening," Postlethwaite added.
"The most common motor racing corner is a second gear 75 mph corner
and we have to design a car which loves that bend."
Tyrrell will start testing the all new car at Estoril (Portugal) next
week.

win my first Grand Prix this year." The goal of the team is to reach
the number five spot of the constructor championship this season.
Johhny Herbert wants to beat Michael Schumacher in 1996. Johnny said:
"It would be an extra special kick if I could beat Michael. Michael is
not unbeatable. And it would hopefully make people think that I am as
good as they thought I was before I went to Benetton." Herbert wasn't
very happy about last year, eventhough he won two Grands Prix: "It was
a very frustrating season last year and I can't say I enjoyed it. But
I am looking forward to this one."

paid. The presentation date of the team, next Tuesday, is postponed.
Verstappen is still the most likely candidate for a seat in an Arrows
car.
The Arrows team is not easily getting the budget together for this
season, they are suffering financial difficulties. Arrows is not the
only team with a not so gloom financial state, Ligier too has to
complete this year with only half the budget they had last season.
Ferrari at Fiorano

The new 1996 Ferrari was presented today at Ferrari's home-track at
Maranello (Italy). The new car is called the F 310. The presentation
of the new car was delayed because of problems with the required crash
tests and aerodynamics. Michael Schumacher, team-mate of Eddie Irvine,
said: "It would be great to win some races this season." He again
ruled out any chances for him to compete in the race for the 1996
championship: "I'm not playing down my chances, but I have to be
realistic, we are starting something new here." Schumacher also added:
"I felt quite empty after spending four and a half years at Benetton -
We'd achieved everything together. But I have plenty of motivation
now. I needed a new challenge and I've got that here."

_________________________________________________________________
New Arrows
Dutch driver Jos Verstappen was very happy with the new Arrows. The
car held up well in bad weather conditions at the test at Silverstone
(England). Ricardo Rosset was also very pleased. Verstappen said in an
interview he will be at the start of the Australian Grand Prix, next
month, in an Arrows. Verstappen and Rosset will test the new Arrows at
Estoril next week. Verstappen said the official presentation of the
team is most likely to be held at the end of next week's test-session
in London (England). The new car didn't bare many sponsors, Verstappen
stated there were still some sponsor contracts to be signed, he
himself was now sponsored by Exact Software and not (yet) by Philips
Car Systems, but he wouldn't give any clarity about this. Jos
Verstappen knows Ricardo Rosset from his days in the Opel Lotus
series, Verstappen said Rosset was behind hind as well as in front of
him, this is very nice according to Verstappen: "Competition within a
team is very good, it keeps you awake."

Hill for World Champion
Damon Hill thinks he can be the next World Champion after Schumacher.
Being frustrated by Michael all this time he now thinks he can do it:
"Every season you think you have the best chance of winning the
championship. But, after four years, I now have a lot of experience
and I firmly believe I can win it this season." Hill also said: "All I
am worried about is my own performance. I am not really looking at the
competition and what they are up to. I do not fear Schumacher and I
will be fighting for the championship the same as everyone else."
Even though Villeneuve said he is not going to help Hill in any way
this year Hill said: "We all start with zero points and as long as we
both score within the team, it will rob other drivers of the chance to
win the championship. It's good to have Villeneuve here."
_________________________________________________________________
Roundup
Eddie Irvine thinks Michael Schumacher can become the Formula One
World Champion for the third time: "Schumacher can become World
Champion if the new Ferrari is good. He can expect total support from
me." He also repeated a team order by stating if Schumacher is behind
me and closing in I will let go by.
The 17 races of the 1995 Formula One season have been watched by a
total of 45.000.000.000 people, this was announced by the FIA today.

Ferrari tests
_________________________________________________________________
Tuesday February 20, 1996
The Ferrari tests at Fiorano (Italy), planned yesterday, were
cancelled because the oil-leak in the gearbox was still not solved
completely. This causes the schedule of the forthcoming tests to
change. Schumacher will test the new V10 engine in the 412 T2 car at
Estoril (Portugal) today and tomorrow. He will check out the F 310 on
Thursday at Fiorano. If all is well then Schumacher and Irvine will
start testing the new car at Estoril starting next Friday.
Martin Brundle was, just like yesterday, fastest at the testing at
Estoril with a best time of 1:21.17. He was followed by his team-mate
Barrichello with 1:21.19. This was during the morning session. The
problems with the new Jordan are solved. Hill, who came in third
during the moring, took the fastest time from Brundle with a best of
1:21.10. Michael Schumacher came to a best of 1:22.55 when the new V10
engine in the 412 T2 failed. Schumacher said that if all goes well
from now on they have just three days of testing left.

It has been announced that Dutchman Jos Verstappen and Brazilian
Ricardo Rosset, ex Formula 3000 driver, will sign with Arrows
tomorrow, when the tests of the new car start at Estoril. The team
have confirmed the two drivers today making tomorrow's signing just a
formality.
Barrichello sets new test record
_________________________________________________________________
Wednesday February 21, 1996
Mika Hakkinen posted the fastest time of 1996 on the day Verstappen
made his comeback into Formula One with the Arrows-Hart team in the
morning session. Hakkinen broke Damon Hill's testing record, set
yesterday (1:21.10), with a 1:20.87. Hill came in close behind the Fin
with 1:20.95. But Rubens Barrichello did an astonishing 1:19.93,
leaving the Benneton of Berger behind him with 1:20.50 and all the
rest. Dutch driver Verstappen came in behind Katayama in the Tyrrell
(1:23.06) with 1:23.53. Salo, in the other Tyrrell, posted a best time
of 1:21.91.
The Arrows team has now Philips as their new sponsor. Michael
Schumacher could not drive the 412 T2 Ferrari in the morning session
because of problems with the V10 engine and the gearbox. A new V10 was
flown in from Fiorano in the afternoon. Schumacher did 22 laps under
race conditions to set up his car for the long run planned tomorrow.
Eddie Irvine will test the new F 310 Ferrari at Fiorano (Italy) on
Thursday.
Tests at Estoril
_________________________________________________________________
Thursday February 22, 1996
The problems the Benetton team had seem to be over. Berger was second
yesterday and Alesi was second today with a 1:20.26. But at the top
was Mika Hakkinen in the McLaren he posted a best time of 1:19.65, a
new testing record. Verstappen did very well, he improved almost two
seconds over yesterday's time (1:21.92). It also went very well with
Michael Schumacher today, he drove the planned Grand Prix distance.
The new V10, in the 412 T2 chassis, did a total of 453 km with a best
of 1:21.08. It only had a bad ending: when he drove into his pitbox
the car caught fire but major damage could be prevented because the
firemen were very close.
Irvine tested the F 310 at Fiorano (Italy) and did 51 laps with a best
of 1:03.28. The new car will be flown to Estoril tonight.

Magny-Cours in 1997
The Grand Prix of France will be held at Magny-Cours in 1997. It was
decided by the French, some weeks ago, that the Grand Prix would
return to Le Castellet (Paul Ricard) for five years from next year,
but there was already an agreement between the FOCA and Magny-Cours
for 1997. The officials at Paul Ricard said: "Bernie Ecclestone
informed us that an agreement has already been made with Magny-Cours."
_________________________________________________________________
Estoril
Schumacher tested the new F 310, flown over from Italy last night, at
Estoril (Portugal) but could only drive a total of five laps because
the fuel pump broke down, he drove a best time of 1:23.23.
Schumacher's time is running out before the start of the new season.
Verstappen could only drive 8 laps because the support of the rear
wing broke.
_________________________________________________________________
Roundup
Schumacher is most likely going to make an appearance in this year's
ITC (touringcar) championship in an Alfa. He will start at
NŘrnburgring or at Hockenheim. Names like: Alain Prost and Nigel
Mansell are also mentioned.
The Italian Luca Badoer has signed with the Forti-Ford team, filling
the last seat for the 1996 season.
Schumacher will continue testing new car at Fiorano
_________________________________________________________________
Sunday February 25, 1996
Schumacher had no troubles with the new F 310 Ferrari at Estoril
(Portugal) yesterday. He completed the planned 71 laps. A second F 310
was made in the factory at Maranello (Italy) for Eddie Irvine on
Saturday, he has tested it at Fiorano today. Schumacher was not so
fortunate in today's session: the tests were stopped due to heavy
rain. Schumacher drove 14 laps on a dry track with a best of 1:23.83
and 20 on a wet circuit of the planned Grand Prix distance. The tests
will continue at Maranello because of bad weather forecasts at
Estoril. Schumacher said after the today's tests: "The new Ferrari
felt more gentle than the Benetton did last year."

Elf presents teams in Paris
Elf have presented their teams in Paris (France) today (e.g. Benetton,
Ligier, Williams). Alesi was happy with the way the tests went at
Estoril (Portugal) with the all new Benetton-Renault. He said there
were some minor problems but everything is now under control and that
they are ready for the first Grand Prix. Hill also showed his optimism
about the tests: " I had a good time, the car went well and the engine
was great." The new Williams has improved aerodynamics, resulting in
more down-force thus a better grip, over last year's car. Damon Hill's
team-mate Jacques was not so very optimistic he said that the
competition with their all new cars have closed the gap the Williams
car had last year.

Na kraju sezone, kad je i najzagriženijim Damonovcima ;) postalo jasno da
će Šumaher da bude šampion, Kultard je izbio iz senke svog poznatijeg
partnera, i preuzeo stvar u svoje ruke. Pokazalo se da može mnogo toga ...
U suštini, lično mislim da je on bio forsiran cele sezone, postigao bi
minimum isti uspeh koji i Hill, ako ne i veći.

Gledano sa ove strane televizora, nešto nisam primetio
da je ijedan od njih dvojice forsiran. Vilijems nije takva ekipa.
A da je Kultard dobar vozač, tu nema sumnje. Za razliku od Hila, ima
mentalitet pobednika. (ili bar meni tako deluje - izgleda kao da može
da pobedi). Jedino što mu još nedostaje je iskustvo, ali ima vremena.
auto-moto.47wiper,
Meni nije bitno ko ce pobediti. Samo je bitno da to nebude SVABA.
Ali defitivnoto Hil ne moze .U jednakim uslovima Svaba ce uvek biti brzi.
Sto se tice Kulharda pokazace dali se samo prodao ili decko
stvarno ima petlju da stisne gas.
Sta mislite sta ce se desiti kad Meklaren dodje do motora na
nivo Honde iz '90.
Jedino sto nece moci da imaju je prvi vozaca.
To sto su pre dve godine izgubili to nikada nece moci da nadju
Jer onaj je bio najbolji .

Hill favourite?; Blundell
_________________________________________________________________
Friday March 1, 1996
It seems Hill will be starting this Formula One season at Albert Park
in Melbourne as the favourite of the favourites. Three-times World
Champion Niki Lauda, now consultant for Ferrari, says Hill has the
best chance for the 1996 World Championship title: "Damon Hill has the
best cards to win the 1996 World Championship. He hasn't switched
teams like the other top drivers have, he knows his car and his
engine."
_________________________________________________________________
Blundell
Mark Blundell is one of the two ex-Formula One drivers to make their
debut into Indy Car racing at the Grand Prix of Miami next Sunday.
Blundell, who wasn't offered a seat in a good Formula One team for
1996, will start his Indy Car carrier with the Pac West team, the
other ex-Formula One driver is Alessandro Zanardi, he will start with
the Ganassi team.

Inoue not at first Grand Prix; Schumi positive; Bludell's debut
_________________________________________________________________
Monday March 4, 1996
Taki Inoue will not start at the first Grand Prix of the season in
Melbourne (Australia). The Japanese driver has sponsorship problems.
He will be replaced by Italian Giancarlo Fisichella, who won the
Formula Three Championship Title in 1994, drove touring cars for Alfa
Romeo and tested for Minardi and Ferrari this year. He also was the
candidate for the second seat at Ferrari for this season before Eddie
Irvine got the job.
_________________________________________________________________
Schumi positive
Michael Schumacher is still optimistic about this year. The 1994 and
1995 World Champion said this weekend: " I think we are better
prepared, what the motor is concerned, than last year at Ferrari." He
also added: "I don't want to have 13 retirements, but there will be
some."
_________________________________________________________________
Bludell's debut
Blundell's debut in the Indy Car series was a disappointing 17th
finish at the Grand prix of Miami yesterday. The other ex-Formula One
driver to make his debut, Alessandro Zanardi, crashed into the
concrete wall after a rear wheel came off when he left the pits.

Albert Park; Hill and Villeneuve
_________________________________________________________________
Tuesday March 5, 1996
Almost all the drivers are very enthusiastic about the circuit at
Albert Park in Melbourne (Australia) one week before the start of the
new season there. Some even said it is one of the most beautiful
tracks in the world. Current World Champion, Michael Schumacher, said
it is very fast and exciting. Indy Car newcomer, Jacques Villeneuve,
said: "It looks great!". He also added that there are six potential
overtaking places.
The 5.269 km long circuit is expected to have a top speed of 285 km/h
and a lap time of more than one and a half minute, that is an average
of over 200 km/h. This was simulated by the Tyrrell-Yamaha team.
Albert Park has not been used by Formula One cars for 40 years. The
cars now drive in the opposite direction. There will also be some
other changes: The grid positions will be set only on Saturday, on
Friday there will be two one hour free sessions with a maximum of 30
laps per driver, on Saturday morning there will be two 45 minute
sessions.
The 1956 Olympic Grand Prix at Albert Park winner Stirling Moss called
it a fantastic track: "It is the finest conventional road circuit I've
seen, by miles. There is nothing to compare with it." He also added:
"It is going to be a exciting race weekend. Spa was the favourite
until now but I think Albert Park is certainly going to be." Jordan
driver Rubens Barrichello agreed on this: "I think it is a great
track."
The favourite to win this year's driver Championship title, Damon
Hill, is aiming to win the first Grand Prix of 1996: " I always enjoy
racing in Australia and although we are going to Melbourne for the
first time, I'm sure I will enjoy it."
"I've had a really good winter and I can't wait for the new season to
start." Hill also added: "I've learned a great deal during my three
seasons of Formula One racing."
Schumacher stated: " The favourites for the World Championship title
1996 are Williams and Benetton," and not his own team Ferrari.
_________________________________________________________________
Hill and Villeneuve
Damon Hill has been backed by Martin Brundle, in 1996 with
Jordan-Peugeot, and former team-mate David Coulthard for the 1996
World Championship. Brundle said about Hill's chances: "He can only
really lose the title this season. Williams are again looking the
stronger both in terms of speed and reliability." Coulthard, now with
the McLaren-Mercedes team, says Hill must be the favourite, but he
added: "We won't know what the season holds until the first race."
Jacques Villeneuve, team-mate of Briton Damon Hill, is determined to
avoid suffering the same fate as predecessors who came from Indy Car
racing.
Michael Andretti came from Indy Car as reigning World Champion, just
like Villeneuve, and left six months later with just one podium
finish. Villeneuve responded to this by saying: "Michael just did not
have the time to get ready. I have done several thousand miles of
testing and have lived in Monaco for a while." He also stated again he
will not be second to Hill: "When I race, I race to win."

Protesters at Albert Park; Schumacher; Paul Ricard
_________________________________________________________________
Wednesday March 6, 1996
Not all were so very enthusiastic about the race track in Albert Park
like the drivers were, protesters demonstrated at the circuit today to
voice their anger over it. The police said 13 people broke through the
fences and staged a brief protest against the racing circuit. A
spokesman of the demonstrators said the group wanted to tell the
drivers and the teams they were not welcome. The "Save Albert Park"
group has also threatened to stage "a major international incident" on
Sunday when the Australian Grand Prix is held. There were protest
against the Grand Prix ever since it was decided that the race would
be held at Albert Park.
_________________________________________________________________
Schumacher
Michael Schumacher has driven around the circuit of Melbourne on a
moped in order to inspect it just 24 hours before the first extra free
training session. He showed himself to be a little concerned about the
dirty track. He said that it could be very slippery.
Michael Schumacher can resign at Ferrari when the results are not what
they are suppose to be. The clause was put into the contract for his
security. It also stated that Schumacher has to become third in the
final standing of the World Championship title.
_________________________________________________________________
Paul Ricard
The French Grand Prix will stay at Magny-Cours until 1999. There was
speculation that the Grand Prix could be held Le Castellet from 1998.
The French Motorsports Federation said Le Castellet had failed to
reach an agreement with the FOCA: "The choice of Le Castellet circuit
was a sentimental one. But we had to give it up because of FOCA's
financial requirements." But they hope to bring the European Grand
Prix to France in 1997 and 1998, possibly at Paul Ricard.
_________________________________________________________________
Damon Hill has stated he wants to enter the next Grand Prix after
Australia in the lead for the World Championship. He said again: "I
want to win."

Thursday March 7, 1996
If the familiarization session (held only at new Grands Prix) at
Albert Park is an indication of things to come, Jacques Villeneuve
will be the one to watch during Saturday's Australian Grand Prix
Qualifying. Villeneuve's time of 1:33.401 (126.985mph/204.357kmh) was
nearly a second faster than teammate Damon Hill who placed the second
quickest with a time of 1:34.392. Jean Alesi recorded the third best
result of the day. Michael Schumacher, Jos Verstappen and Rubens
Barrichello rounded out the top six times.
During the session, rookie Giancarlo Fisichella (who replaces Taki
Inoue at Minardi) crashed but escaped unhurt. Damon Hill, Pedro Lamy,
Ricardo Rosset, Pedro Diniz, Mika Hakkinen, Rubens Barrichello, Jean
Alesi and Ukyo Katayama all had spins.

five minutes of practice, edging out his team mate Jacques Villeneuve.
Hill's time was 1:32.159, some 0.237 seconds faster than Villeneuve.
Hill commented afterwards: "The pace is definitely heating up now and
everyone is getting to explore the circuit a bit more in depth, so it
is getting quite exciting."

Berger Concered with Track's Safety
Gerhard Berger, a lead driver involved with The Grand Prix Drivers
Association (GPDA), has voiced concerns about the safety of the new
Albert Park track. "There are two or three places where the runoff
areas should be moved," Berger said. Max Mosley, President of the FIA,
has dismissed claims about the tracks safety and said today that the
track is safe.

poznatog vozača F1. Gilles je poginuo u Ferariju, čini mi se, 1982.
Jacques je krenuo očevim stopama i u svojoj debitantskoj sezoni osvojio
prvenstvo IndyCar-a... Prešao u F1 i voziće sa Hillom u Villiamsu.
Mnogi misle da Villenneuve nema velike šanse pošto ne poznaje staze, ali
greše, Jacques je često vozio evropske staze, a i izuzetno je talentovan.
Ove sezone navijam za njega, Schumachera, Alesia i Coultharda, Hilla
ne podnosim, a prema ostalim vozačima sam potpuno ravnodušan.

Hill ima velike šanse, naravno ako Villeneuve slomi nogu :), jer mališa se
odlično pokazao. Vozi odlično, talentovan. Hill bi morao dobro da se potrudi
ako hoće titulu (mada verujem u njega ;).
Onu vucibatinu SCHU-a nemoj ni da pominješ, jer od onoga neće biti ništa,
jer i IRVINE (!!) vozi bolje od njega. Setite se samo kvalifikacija :)
Samim tim što je treći, Irvine dokazuje da nije u timu samo da bi SCHU imao

Pa da, raspravljati o snazi motora je vrlo nezahvalno, jer se
nikad zvanično ne objavljuju podaci o njihovj snazi. Međutim uvek
se otprilike zna gde je kome mesto, a i učinak na stazama je
valjda neki pokazatelj :)
Procenjena snaga Hondinog ˙TURBO˙ (ovo je bitno naglasiti) motora je
bila preko 1200 KS i to je bio najjači motor u to vreme (neki kažu i
u celoj istoriji F1) Onda je bila stvar izbora konkstruktora da li će
da se opredeli za turbo ili atmosferski motor, pa kom opanci kom obojci.
Međutim, FIA je videla da trke postaju nezanimljive ;) pa su TURBO
motori zabranjeni.
U Hondi su onda na brzinu morali da se preorijentišu, pa je izašla
atmosferska verzija motora koja je bila slabija, ali i dalje u vrhu.
McLaren je kasnije počeo da posustaje ne zbog motora, već što nije
pratio novi trend elektronski kontrolisanog ogibljenja.
Pred raskid (na Hondin zahtev) partnersta sa McLarenom, Hondini motori
jesu bili slabiji od Renoovih, i to dobrih 100 KS (jer je FIA zabranila
sve one tehničke detalje koji su ih činili boljim od konkurencije) ali
je Sena i pored toga uspeo da osvoji Šampionsku titulu.
Inače, kruže priče da se Honda vraća dogodine u F1, ali ne znam u
koji tim. U svakom slučaju moraće dobro da se pomuče, jer je Reno
daleko odmakao, naročito u pogledu pouzdanosti.
Ako je još neko fan Honde kao ja, a uz to ima pristup na Internet,
može da pogleda http://www.honda.com (ima par detalja iz istorije firme
i nešto malo o Indy Car šampionatu) Takođe, čuo sam da Ferrari ima
fantastičnu WEB stranicu, sa slikama svih automobila i bolida koje su
˙ikada˙ napravili. Međutim nisam je lično video, ali moraću prvom
prilikom da pogledam :)
U vezi tandema McLaren-Mercedes: mislim da je Mercedes umislio da je
njegovo ime dovoljno da se svi useru u gaće ;) kada ih vide na pistama
formule jedan. Ne sumnjam da će švabe uspeti da naprave dobar motor,
obzirom da im ne ide loše u formuli Indy, ali za titulu im fali i vozač.
Otprilike da će oni ipak da pričekaju da Bananamenu istekne ugovor sa
Ferarijem, mada nije isključeno da i ove godine uzmu neki GP.
Kad smo već kod McLarena, zanimljivo je da su se na konkurs za motor
superauta F1, prijavili Mercedes, Honda i BMW. Motor je, kao što znate
dobio na pravljenje BMW i napravio ga, bogami, ljudski :) Međutim ono
što je čudno je da to, da je nakon ove izuzetno uspešne saradnje (F1
nema pravu konkurenciju gde god da se pojavi) McLaren uzeo Mercedesa
da im pravi motore za šampionat F1.

Australian GP winners' press conference
Q Damon, you've won twice in Australia in the last 4
months you must be delighted to get the 10 point lead?
DH Absolutely, I feel fantastic and I've got to say that
everyone in the team deserves this. It's a terrific
result. I had a great race with Jacques and I'm
delighted obviously, to have come back to Australia, won
and started the season the way I finished the last one.
Q It looks like it's going to be a pretty tough fight
between you and Jacques this season.
DH Yeah, I don't think there's going to be anything given
away and Jacques showed today that he's a racer. We had
a good race and I think the crowds have got something
from that and I'm sure they thought it was a good race
too.
Q You had a few tricky moments about half way through the
race?
DH Yeah, I had a few tricky moments 3 or 4 times in the
race but everything went to plan and we stuck close
together. It was a thriller I think.
Q Jacques, you must be a bit disappointed, having lead for
most of the race, not to end up winning it?
JV Well, for sure it's disappointing to lead most of the
race and then having to slow down but the whole race
itself was fun. It was a great battle with Damon and,
for sure, today was a good demonstration of the Williams
Rothmans Renault. It's a very strong package.
Q Eddie, the last time we saw you was in Montreal. Did you
expect to have such a successful start with Ferrari?
EI Not really. We have had so many problems with
reliability and I have done very little running in the
car and to come here and be on the 2nd row really
surprised us. For us to finish the race, especially in
the 1st race for Ferrari, it's a bit special. So I'm
really pleased to be on the podium.
Q Damon, a look forward to Brazil?
DH Yeah, but for the moment I'm leading the World
Championship and I've 3 weeks till the next race, so I'm
going to savour every day of that. I'd just like to say
thanks to Melbourne as well, for putting on such a great
grand prix. It's a great weekend and Australia have done
it again. I think it's a good kick-off to the season.

Mozda ja sanjam ali vreme ce pokazati svoje
Moja prognoza da ce cuvenu Mc'Larenovu 8-cu naslediti Brzilac
Baricelo sto se drugog tice moze da bude ko hoce .
Meni se licno svidja Dejvid K. decko ima muda da stisne gas a to sto se

Sto se tice nekih u grupi koji izgleda simpatisu svabu. To je najpokvareniji
smrdljivko u F1 taj bez mucki ne moze. Zasto je Beneton sad naglo oslabi
nije valjda on super vozac kvaliteta jednog Sene da izvlaci ne moguce. Naravno
da nije nego prevarom do pobede. Kad je tako dobar sto 92 nije bio brzi od Sene
a imao je novijeg forda od Sene. Nego seljak ostaje seljak.
Setite se samo Imole i njegove izjave " SENA JE NERVOZNO VOZIO STALNO MU JE
BEZAO
BOLID" pazi majkumu nevozno vozio - to sto se njemu desilo je bio trenutak i
splet losih okolnosti. Po njemu on je vozio sve vreme sa polomljenom up.letvom
pitao bi ga ja da nije bilo one trave i da je zid malo dalji dali bi imao dve
titule. Imao bi samo kolekciju prolazaka Sene pored njega.
Gde ste videli Svabu da ne podvaljuje
Da mogu samo nekoliko kruga da vozim imao bi samo jedan cilja
a to je UDARI SVABU I NABIGA NA ZID.

Moram da priznam da sam u početku sumnjao u ekipu iz Vilijemsa

U ovo baš nisam uveren. Sezona je duga, a Šumaher, i pored

ipak jeste dobar vozač.
auto-moto.87senna,
-> #76, obrenPred raskid (na Hondin zahtev) partnersta sa McLarenom, Hondini motori
jesu bili slabiji od Renoovih, i to dobrih 100 KS (jer je FIA zabranila
sve one tehnicke detalje koji su ih cinili boljim od konkurencije) ali
je Sena i pored toga uspeo da osvoji Sampionsku titulu.
-------
Ovo je u najmanju ruku smesno. Honda je bila jaca od Renoa,to je
100% sigurno. Druga stvar je sto je sam motor bio ogroman,sto je
trosio puno goriva i sto je bio vrlo gabaritan,pa je bolid sa njim
lezao ko trotinet. Seti se Monaka '92. i one fantasticne zavrsnice
trke kada su se Mensel i Sena borili za pobedu. Da je Mensel imao
100ks vise + nove gume + bolji bolid Sena ne bi imao nikakve sanse.
Inace, kruze price da se Honda vraca dogodine u F1, ali ne znam u
koji tim. U svakom slucaju morace dobro da se pomuce, jer je Reno
daleko odmakao, narocito u pogledu pouzdanosti.
-------
Prica se,al verovatno nista od toga. Inace su trebali da imaju
kompletan bolid.
auto-moto.88senna,
-> #86, kcurcic> Nikakve. Covek je jednom seo u bolid pre sezone, i nije se bas proslavio.
> To dokazuje da on bas i nije toliko dobar vozac, za kakvog se smatrao :)
Nemoj zaboraviti da je prosle sezone vozio Vilijems a sad je
u pitanju Meklaren. Razlike su drasticne.
-----
Jedna stvar je sigurna: kvalitet vozaca se pokazuje kod losih bolida,
a ne na Vilijamsu. Hila i Kultarda je na testovima drao Buljon,a Frencen
je od ovoga bio konstantno brzi u Sauberu.
Moram da priznam da sam u pocetku sumnjao u ekipu iz Vilijemsa
ali se ipak pokazalo da su bili u pravu. Vilnev je definitivno iznenadenje
za mene. Sjajan je. Medutim, ovo je tek prva trka, a prvi se macici u vodu
bacaju.

To sa macicima je vrlo lepo dok se ne setis da Hil vozi taj bolid
x godina,a da je Zak tek krenuo da uci.

Od Irvine-a je sigurno bolji.

A kao fora maredili Villeneuvu da propusti Hill-a zato što mu 'popustio

malu decu. Kao i u svim ekipama, i ovde favorizuju starijeg ali po svemu

Što je tačno - pogledaj razliku između njih dvojice na kraju trke,
definitivno je imao problema sa bolidom. Jednostavno, imao je peh,
i Hil bi ga prestigao kad-tad, ali priznajem da ovaj postupak liči
na Williams ;)

Dečko je fantastičan vozač i ja verujem da može da postane šampion
već ove sezone, ali pitanje je kako će se pokazati na stazama koje
drugi vozači poznaju, a on ne!
Melburn je nova staza, tako da su svi vozači imali jednako poznavanje
staze, ali postoji par staza koje Villeneuve nikad nije vozio i pitanje
je kako će proći na njima!

Pa ti misliš da bi Schu bio drugi da nije odustao? Čoveče, on se do koske
zezno sa gorivom. Ušao u boks prvi put i sipali su mu toliko da je mogao trku
da završi (posle je imao po 2 sekunde slabija vremena od Hill-a i
Villeneuve-a).
Što znači da nije imao šanse da stigne ovu dvojicu, a kamoli da bude drugi.
Jer,
iako je mogao da vozi s onim gorivom, morao bi da ulazi u boks po gume, jer je
isuviše rano zamenio stare. To što su mu otkazale kočnice ne vadi ga mnogo, jer
nije imao šanse da ih stigne. Irvine je mogao da stigne Villeneuve-a da je non
stop gazip po gasu, ali su mu iz boksa, kad je odustao Schu, rekli da malo
oladi
i da ne gazi toliko, jer je mogao da otkaže motor. Da je gazio, sigurno bi ga
stigao :)

Da ovo nije malo preterano? Lično mislim da bi trebalo da Schu i Hill zamene
mesta...

Upravo ta "mala šminka", kako je ti nazivaš (što je potpuno apsurdan
naziv za promjene koju su urađene na bolidu Benetton u periodu 1991-1994)
je bila jedna od najvažnijih karika u procesu pretvaranja jednog krajnje
prosječnog bolida u šampionski.
>> Nemoj sadašnjeg Reno da porediš sa Hondom iz 90. Nego sačekajmo još malo

Moja poredba je isključivo rezultat odgovora na ono što si ti izjavio.
Pogledaj malo bolje šta si napisao i sve će ti biti jasno.
A što se konkurentnosti sadašnjeg McLarena tiče, bojim se da ćeš morati
malo duže sačekati na to. Ni mnogo snažniji motor od Mercedesovog (koji
uzgred budi rečeno u tom smislu uopšte nije loš) ne bi ih izvukao iz
stanja u kojem se nalaze (koliko je Ferrari sa nesumnjivo najjačim motorom
u proteklih nekoliko godina bio konkurentan?). Eksperimenti sa
postavljanjem, pa skidanjem, pa ponovnim postavljanjem i na kraju opet
skidanjem onog dodatnog krila u toku prošle sezone dovoljno govore o
nemogućnosti pronalaženja univerzalnog aerodinamičkog rješenja.
>> A što se šasija tiče u sezoni 93/94. Mc'laren je imao bolje rezultate

U sezoni 1994. McLaren nije imao bolje rezultate od Benettona.

Netačno. Ferrari ima najviše pobjeda u istoriji - 105. McLaren je drugi
sa 104.

To važi za uslove u kojima mi pratimo šampionat bolida Formule 1, ali
svakako ne i za uslove u kojima ga prate ljubitelji tog sporta u nekim
drugim zemljama. U specijalizovanim stranim magazinima redovno se u
analizama pred novu sezonu prave komparacije performansi bolida, a jedno
od najznačajnijih mjesta tu naravno zauzima i snaga motora. Često se mogu
naći vrlo relevantni i precizni podaci.

Dobro, bre, ljudi, što vi toliko mrzite tog Šumahera? Nije on kriv što
je Senna poginuo. Zna se ko je kriv za njegovu smrt. Da budem iskren,
Ayrtona nisam voleo ali sam ga izuzetno poštovao kao jednog od dva
najbolja vozača svih vremena. Ipak, kad je poginuo, bilo mi zaista teško
i u toj sezoni sam navijao protiv Šumahera baš zbog toga što on nebi
imao nikakve šanse da osvoji titulu da je Senna ostao živ. Ali nisam ga
mrzeo a sledeće sezone sam navijao za njega. Treba da napomenem da
prevashodno navijam za Ferrari, ma ko u njemu da vozi, tako da ove sezone
navijam za Šumahera i Irvajna. To što navijam za Ferrari i njegove vozače
ne znači da mrzim ostale i da ih omalovažavam iako bih mogao to da radim.
Recimo, Hil je obična pi*ka i sl. ali to ne vodi nikuda. Pokojni Fangio
je rekao ono o procentima: 20% je umešnost vozača a 80% kvalitet bolida
F1 i bio je u pravu.
auto-moto.102miobrado,
Konačno je završena prva trka F1, koju sam s nestrpljenjem očekivao. Bogami
opet me je Hill po ko zna koji put razočarao, bez obzira što je trku završ-
io na prvom mestu. Ali sviđa mi se što je Vilnev razbio monotoniju koja
koja je polako počela vlada u F1, bar će naredne trke biti zanimljive.
Po mojoj proceni opet će se voditi borba između Šumahera i Hilla. Mada je
Hill u prednosti jer ipak ima najbolji bolid, a prvi je vozač williamsa.
Tako da će Vilnev u nardenim trkama ako bude bio ispred Hilla morati da ga
pušta jer mora se znati ko je gazda.
Evo moje prognoze:
1.Hill
2.Šumaher
3.Vilnev

Koliko mi se cini po pravilima je da taj sub volana ispunjen
a ne supalj kao sto je njgov bio. I malo veceg precnika nego
sto je taj bio.

-> #103, kum.djoleĘ? Valjda je lično urgirao da se polomljeni stub volana (je l' se
Ę? to tako zove?) zavari, umesto da se promeni.. i na tom mestu
Nisam čuo da je on lično urgirao da se letva zavari na postojeće parče.
I da je to tačno, opet krivicu snose inženjeri koji bi trebalo da znaju
kakve posledice to može imati (i na žalost je imalo) po upravljivost
bolida i bezbednost vozača. Mogao je Senna da kaže da ugrade joystick
umesto volana pa ne bi valjda oni tada to stvarno i uradili?
auto-moto.106wiper,
-> #105, giovanniJos jedan dodatak tada je Frank Williams imao
polisu osiguranja koja je bila naj veca koju je ű jedan
sportista imao - tj. tim koji je osigurao svog sportistu
cisto da ne promakne i taj podatak kojiku je Senna imao
zelju da pogine ?????
auto-moto.107senna,
-> #103, kum.djole Da obnovimo - po mojim informacijama, kriv je sam.

Gresim li ?

Gresis. Senna je,zbog svog specificnog stila voznje,zahtevao
volan veceg precnika,kako bi ga lakse okretao. Ljudi u Williamsu
su stavili novi volan tako sto su skinuli stari i navarili novi.
Po nezvanicnim izvestajima,sipka je pukla bas na mestu vara,sto
samo potvrdjuje sumnje o traljavo obavljenom poslu. Pa nije niko
budala pa da trazi da vozi bolid sa necim sto moze da pukne svakog
trenutka...
