F1 Speedway
Dags för halvovalen i stadsdelen Speedway i Indianapolis. Är Renaultförarna i luven på varandra? Ska Micke sluta? Kan Montoya skilja på rött och grönt? och naturligtvis: Ska Minardi få någon poäng till sist? Visst tog Zsolt poäng här ifjol, Kristian? ![]() _________________ ///Mvh Sören Hall (fd Kristensson) "Raksträckor är bara en transport till nästa kurva" |

Tror inte att Ralf betraktar IMS som sin turbana, nu drog han in i muren igen, den här gången klev han ur vraket till synes oskadd i alla fall...

Re: F1 Speedway
![]() ![]() Har inte riktigt hunnit bilda mig någon klar uppfattning om helgen ännu. Fredagsträningarna gav samma resultat som alltid, Mclaren snabba, Ferrari i mitten, få varv för renault och Friesacher snabbare än Albers. Att det inte går att dra några slutsatser av dessa resultat har visat sig gång på gång. Har dock noterat att det är väldigt många som tror på Schumiseger denna helg, ingen rök utan eld? Edit: Missade tiderna från träning 2. Där ser det bättre ut för Ferrari (och även Minardi ![]() _________________ /Kristian Elisson |

Hm, ingen bra dag för Toyota, först for Zonta av pga punktering och sedan Ralf i muren pga för lågt däckstryck så att bilen bottnade ur?

Michelin har tydligen problem med däcken å vill flyga in nya (från förra tävlingen= egentligen gamla) däck...
om inte de stall som inte kör michelin inte går med på det... ![]() och får dom inte byta avråder tydligen michelin teamen helt från att köra.. ![]() _________________ MackeMaehlum |

om det blir nåt... ![]() Från www.autosport-atlas.com The running of the US Grand Prix at Indianapolis is threatened with upheaval caused by yesterday's Michelin tyre failures to the two Toyotas and the subsequent Michelin advice to its partner teams that they do not feel confident that they can run the 73-lap race safely on the tyres that they currently have available. The rules require tyre selection for a race to be made ahead of the event and it would appear that the only way out of the current predicament, with regard to the need for F1 to put on a race in front of the US paying public, would be for the FIA to grant special dispensation for Michelin to use different tyres on safety grounds. The word is that the current tyres could be replaced by a Barcelona spec' tyre specially flown out in time for tomorrow's race. That, in turn, would provide further problems in that teams would have no opportunity to run the tyres and establish a set-up ahead of the race, which could result in further problems. It would also, of course, be outside the regulations. If you were Bridgestone and Ferrari, therefore, you would surely feel unhappy about finishing behind Michelin-shod cars that were using tyres selected outside of the regulations. "That would certainly be true," smiled Ferrari's technical director Ross Brawn, just ahead of today's qualifying session. Bridgestone's position, meanwhile, is that the company would not gain any credit from trying to force the opposition to race on tyres that were not considered safe by their manufacturer. Any regulatory issues, they suggest, should be left to the governing body. The FIA, meanwhile, points out that no rule will have been broken until a car turns up on the grid at 12.30 tomorrow with a tyre that has not been pre-selected. Brawn added: "It is important not to set a precedent, otherwise we would be in a situation of people regularly bringing tyres that were too soft for qualifying and then re-evaluating the position on Saturday night, which is obviously not what was intended." Austosport-Atlas, meanwhile, spoke to Michelin's director of F1 activities, Nick Shorrock, immediately prior to qualifying about the up-to-the-minute position. Q. What is the current situation? Shorrock: We took the tyres from yesterday. All those tyres have now been looked at individually. We have also been undertaking a lot of research work in our test facilities at Clermont Ferrand overnight and one of the things we have been trying to do is to understand why we had the tyre deflation and what caused that. What we have not been able to do is recreate via the tests that we have done, that failure. So that led us to give a certain number of specifications for running this morning in free practice and qualifying this afternoon in free practice and qualifying this afternoon with out partners. Q. When you say specifications, you mean cambers and pressures? Shorrock: Absolutely. Those sort of things and obviously specific to each of the teams so that we can get the optimised running conditions. Q. Have you any idea why the Toyotas suffered the failures? Shorrock: Not at all. If we had that we could go even further and that is one of the reasons for our ongoing investigations. With the tyres from yesterday and also from the tyres that we have run this morning, some of those are going to be going off onto a plane which was arriving at 1pm and they will probably be going off at around 3pm this afternoon to our test facility in South Carolina. Q. Is it correct that you have told the teams not to race on those tyres tomorrow? Shorrock: With the information that we have right now, we feel we don't have enough information to say to our teams, you can do a full 73 laps satisfactorily. So for the time being that's where we are. Q. And what is the situation with the FIA allowing you to use different tyres? Shorrock: We've been back to see the FIA, they hear us and for the time being they haven't given us a final decision other than to say that until 12.30pm tomorrow, there have been no rules broken. That, obviously, is when the cars go onto the grid and the FIA starts checking the tyres. Q. But obviously you would like to run some different tyres? Shorrock: With the information we've got now, we don't believe we can use the tyres that we have got here. The information is being constantly updated either from the tests in Clermont or with effect from now, with information from our centre in South Carolina. Q. Is the track resurfacing one of the roots of the problem, do you think? Shorrock: We don't know. We obviously knew that the track had been resurfaced. We'd been out here to look at the track and it wasn't something that shocked us enormously, but it's certainly an element. A track surface is never the same on any of the courses that we run on. How does that react with the tyres, the cars, and so on? We need to follow that up. Q. So are you expecting further instruction from the FIA later this afternoon? Shorrock: Hopefully we are going to have more information, certainly from our side, in terms of how the tyres have performed and what's causing this problem and what we can do to go further with our teams. Q. If you don't get permission to use different tyres, are we looking at a six-car US GP? Shorrock: That I don't know. That's really with the FIA and how we go further with any new sets of tyres that we want to bring. _________________ ///Mvh Sören Hall (fd Kristensson) "Raksträckor är bara en transport till nästa kurva" |

Klart poängläge ![]() Definitivt dags för teamet att få nytta av de nya bridgestonedäcken. När man nu till denna säsongen var tvungna att köra med den senaste däcksmodellen så var det bara att slanta upp. Trist med dyra däck som inte levererar. (Förra säsongen körde man med föregående års däcksmodeller) _________________ /Kristian Elisson |

Jag tror att oavsett vilka däck det blir och vad Michelin säger så blir det rejs med full grid.
Det e så många kontrakt kors o tvärs med alla tv-bolag, sponsorer och dylikt att stallen blir smått tvugna att köra. Sen vet man inte om dom kommer att pressa 101% eller om det bara blir transportsträcka ev det hela. Noja helt klart intresant utveckling på helgen, om inte Michelin för ordning på puckarna så tar nog Schumi ytterligare vm-titel hehee... Let the best tyres win ![]() _________________ Jhonny Kokko |

Nu är det bara en dryg timma kvar till start
![]() Blir det 20 eller 6 bilar till start? ![]() Tycker faktiskt att det är dåligt att Michelin att tumma på säkerheten så pass mycket. Speciellt eftersom det hänt en hel del Michelin-relaterade problem under hela säsongen. Att inte sätta säkerheten först 2005 är som att be om sin undergång. Tror att detta kan leda till enormt dålig puplicitet för Michelin. Som annars bygger så bra däck för gatan.. Ibland så kan reklam leda till antireklam ![]() Men deras begäran om att lägga in en chikan på kurva 13 är ju helt befängt! Man kan ju inte ändra på en bana så att den ska passa efter vissa bilar...detta är ju inte STCC!! ![]() Hade vart kul att se en Minardi få en pallplats iofs ![]() _________________ Rachid Rachid |

Är det inte sådant här strul som inte borde finnas inom F1. Det är ju sandlåde nivå. Michelin borde ju veta hurdan banan är och vad som krävs av däcken. Detta är en stor jävla skandal från deras sida. Vore som om teamen kom till banan utan att kunna ge bilen tillräckligt mycket eller lite downforce. Dom sköter inte sitt jobb helt enkelt. Borde väl gå och byta till Bridgestone för teamen. Ops, där va michelin borta helt...
