F1 karussell

[budu]

Ari Vatanen insists he can end Formula 1's political battles with a new era of greater democracy if he is elected head of governing body the FIA next month.

The Finn will stand against ex-Ferrari boss Jean Todt on 23 October in the race to succeed president Max Mosley.

"F1 must stop being a battleground for various parties that don't have an equal position," he told BBC Sport.

"We must have stable surroundings and clear visibility. We can only do that by working together."

F1 has experienced a series of damaging political rows in recent years, with 2009 particularly turbulent after eight of the 10 teams threatened to create a breakaway series after Mosley persevered with plans to introduce a budget cap.

Jean Todt and I represent different worlds

Ari Vatanen
The prospect of a split was averted after a last-ditch compromise agreement between the FIA and the Formula 1 Teams' Association (Fota).

But ill-feeling and suspicion remain and the F1 teams are concerned that the election of Todt, who Mosley has publicly backed as his successor, would effectively mean a continuation of the Mosley years.

Vatanen, a former world rally champion, said he would be determined to oversee a more inclusive, non-confrontational climate.

"The FIA and other family members of F1 must sit down around a table and do them [any future rule changes] together because we all are stakeholders, we all have an interest," he stated.

"Often the FIA can have the upper hand anyway and the others have to be on the receiving end. OK, that's good for an ego trip and in the short term, power over somebody else and a personal victory but it's to the detriment of the sport.

"So we propose, I and my team, just normal business practices in F1. We must remember the teams and the contractors, the smaller teams and the bigger teams, private or less private. Whoever is investing in F1 is not there for fun."

Todt developed a reputation as a divisive figure during his 15 years at Ferrari and Vatanen insists that a change is needed.

"I refuse to say why I am better but we represent different worlds," he added.

"All I am saying is that I represent the new start for the FIA where all the members of this incredibly colourful global family have a feeling that they are being heard and, hopefully at times, be inspired by their president.

"To be the president of the FIA is so different to running a rally team, where you can handpick your people.

"Now you become the adopted father of the global family, where you have all different backgrounds and races and beliefs and so forth. This incredible family can only be strong if you unite them, if you can be a diplomat, if you can conciliate."

Outlining his vision for the future direction of the F1 rules, Vatanen - who denied reports that he was a global warming sceptic - said he believed promotion of safety and environmentally friendly technology must be at the forefront.

"It is clear, since F1 gets so much visibility, it must be used as promotion for safety," he commented.

"There is no substitute for the work we do in saving human lives, it is completely on a different level.

"Technology serves everything, any domain, so we promote the new technology - whether it is reducing consumption and the so-called greener technologies, maybe nano-technology - F1 is the window that draws people's attention."

Vatanen has also pledged to do all he can to keep Silverstone on the Formula 1 calendar.

The venue, which hosted the first championship F1 race in 1950 and attracted a capacity crowd of 120,000 in June this year, is set to be replaced as the British Grand Prix venue by Donington Park from 2010.

There has been talk of the Northamptonshire circuit being reinstated under the European Grand Prix name.

"I am not against Donington but I am for Silverstone," said Vatanen.

"We can have a short-term gain but a long-term cost and Silverstone is the symbol of that."

Todt is expected to attend the Italian Grand Prix at Monza this weekend, his first F1 race since announcing his candidature.

Renault meeskonnal on ikka päris suur jama.

[allars]

Selle igavese teise juttu võiks ka kaua ja pikalt rääkida, kuid Sinusugusele vandenõuteoreetikule ei anna midagi selgeks teha.

Sa ei peagi mulle midagi selgeks tegema. Ma olen Barrichellole pöialt hoidnud juba aastaid ning mind ei koti see, et tema tiitlita jäämine midagi muud tähendama peaks. Ma leian endiselt, et ta on vähemalt ühte tiitlit väärt piloot.

Fisichella tänas nii Ferrarit kui Force Indiat
04.09.2009 13:11

Värskelt Ferrari meeskonna piloodiks palgatud itaallane Giancarlo Fisichella tänas intervjuus Sky Sportsile nii oma uut meeskonda Ferrarit kui senist tööandjat Force Indiat teoks saanud tehingu eest.

Itaallane tunnistas, et on eluaeg unistanud Ferrari rooli keeramisest ja teeb endast kõik sõltuva, et õigustada usaldust.

"Kavatsen juba esimestest sõitudest anda endast kõik, et tänada meeskonda suurepärase võimaluse eest," lubas itaallane. Fisichella tunnistas ka, et on pärast lepingu sõlmimist Ferrariga kui seitsmendas taevas ega suuda siiani uskuda elu unistuse täitumist.

"Veel kord avaldan suurimat tänu Ferrarile ja president Luca Cordero di Montezemolole ning samuti Force India juhile Vijay Mallyale, kes laskis mul minna. Vijay luba oli väga suuremeelne."

Tema 279 starti, 16 aastane karjäär ning selle ajaga tehtud meeletu töö räägib iseenda eest + meeletult kahju on veel sellest, et ta Ferraris igavene teine pidi olema.

pigem näitab see, et ta on nii palju sõitnud ja pole tiitlit nagu hoopis midagi muud ...

No surprises. Olin selles kindel juba pärast kvalifikatsiooni, kui Fisi selle võitis ja Badoer viimane oli.

Fisichella unistus olevat olnud (nagu enamus itaalastel) võistelda Ferrariga. Tore ,et see täitus.

No isegi mina kes ei ole kunagi punaste fänn olnud olen rahul ,et Badoer välja vahetati kuna see mõjus F1 mainele ikka valusalt.Muidugi heameel ka Fisi üle.

Ferrari vormel-1 meeskond palkas hooaja viimasteks etappideks vigastatud Felipe Massat asendama Giancarlo Fisichella.

Nädalavahetusel Belgias Spas Force India meeskonnale läbi aegade esimese parima stardikoha toonud ja põhisõidus teise kohaga tiimi punktiarve avanud Fisichella võtab Ferraris koha sisse soomlase Kimi Räikköneni kõrval.

Kahel eelmisel etapil Massat asendanud Luca Badoer oli viimane Valencias ja Spas ning seetõttu pidi itaallane tegema tee vabaks oma rahvuskaaslase ees.

Fisichella siirdumine Ferrarisse sai võimalikuks tänu sellele, et Force India on eelmise aasta mootorite eest Maranello tiimile võlgu neli miljonit eurot.

Mille põhjal Sa seda väidad?

Krt ma loodan ,et keegi selle Räikkoneni välja sõidab.kui tema ei trügiks siis ei lendaks ka jupid ja need teised avariid saidki alguse neist juppidest.aga vähemalt läheb nii kuis läheb aga vähemalt ei saa Ferrari maailmameistri tiitlit.

Need jupit tekkisid Kubica otsa sõitmisest Räikkönenile nii ,et laku seda sammust.

See mees vääriks MM tiitlit rohkem kui küll

Ise loodaks Rubinio edu. See mees vääriks MM tiitlit rohkem kui küll, kuid praegu tundub Button veel jah favoriit. Seb Vettelil ka suurepärased võimalused.
