Hinwil, 18th March 2011 – Finally the opening race of the 2011 FIA Formula One World Championship is just around the corner – the Australian Grand Prix will take place in Melbourne from the 25th to 27th of March. The Sauber F1 Team completed 15 days of pre-season testing, covering 5,841 kilometres with the new Sauber C30-Ferrari and drivers Kamui Kobayashi and Sergio Pérez at the wheel. While the team is busy with preparation work and Mexico can’t wait to see the F1 debut of Sergio Pérez, the eager and happy expectation is clouded by the events in Japan.

Kamui Kobayashi:
“Of course I was very worried about my country and so went to Japan after the Barcelona test. I must say the situation is really, really bad. So many have lost their lives, become homeless, are without food and water in the cold winter, and have lost their loved ones. It is difficult to believe that a scenario worse than in any movie has become reality. We need to stay together and we need help from all over the world. I am worried the whole country could disappear – it is just too awful. Since the earthquake and the tsunami news is getting worse every day, there is nothing positive to look forward to at the moment. I feel I have to do something, I want to help – but in fact there is nothing I can do by myself. I think at least for the time being what I can do is to be focused and fully concentrate on the season’s opening race in Melbourne. Originally I was looking forward to this with great joy. Now what I really want to do is my very best to achieve a good result, which perhaps can at least give the people in Japan a little bit of hope and positive news.”

Sergio Pérez:
“Without a doubt I am also worried about the people in Japan, and I really wish them all the best. At the same time personally a dream is about to come true. I have dreamed for many years of competing in my first Formula One Grand Prix, and now it is going to happen. I am excited and I am very much looking forward to it. It will be a weekend during which I have to adapt quickly to many things – to the circuit, which is new to me, and to all the aspects of a grand prix weekend from free practice to qualifying and the race. I cannot imagine yet how it will be for me when the lights go out on Sunday, but I can’t wait to find that out. I have never been to Australia before. Of course, I have checked the circuit lay-out and other things. I understand it is a tough track, very challenging and not easy to find the limit, so it will be hard.”

Technical Director James Key:
“Everyone in the team is looking forward to starting the 2011 season in Melbourne. It’s a good track to go to for the first race. It will be interesting to see on how things develop on what could potentially be a higher track temperature, because this is something none of us have tested yet, and there are still a few unknowns in this respect. We will go with the specification of the car that we finished the Barcelona test with, with some final refinements to it after what we learned from that test.
“The format of the weekend will be somewhat different, given the fact the tyres are little less consistent than those we are used to, so this is something we need to optimize. With regard to the drivers, we’re obviously looking forward to working with Sergio at a F1 race weekend for the first time. He displayed some good progress during winter testing, and we hope we can transfer that directly to the first race weekend where the pressure of course is higher. I’m sure he can manage that. Unlike Sergio, Kamui doesn’t have to learn the track, so it will be more a case of car set up and general performance work for him. Particularly on Friday, it will be important to find the right direction. Considering the events in Japan, we know this will be a very difficult weekend for Kamui, but everybody in the team will give him all possible support.

“With regard to the track, Albert Park is half street circuit with stop start, some chicanes at the beginning and then a few medium to high speed corners in the latter part of the lap. It will be interesting because it tends to be a circuit that is hard on the rear tyres, whereas the ones we have been testing on were harder on the fronts. So the balance of the car could really change in Melbourne, and if the track temperatures are higher we’ll have to watch out for the rear tyres a little more than in testing, but this is part of the process. We go there as well prepared as possible.”

Pirelli va a dar un juego extra de llantas duras a los equipos para la práctica del viernes...


Pirelli to supply extra tyres in Melbourne

Pirelli have announced that they will be supplying teams with an extra set of tyres for the Friday practice sessions in Melbourne.

Teams experienced a significant drop off in performance from the tyres throughout pre-season testing, so a set of the hard compound tyres will be added to the original allocation to help the drivers set their cars up for the first race of the season.

"Weather conditions are likely to be different to what was experienced so far in testing," a Pirelli statement read. "Which is why the teams will be given an extra set of prime tyres for use during Friday free practice, bringing their total allocation up to 12 sets of dry-weather tyres over the course of the weekend and allowing them to run more laps in free practice to finalise the set-up."

Pirelli's motorsport director Paul Hembrey said he was looking forward to the race weekend, and finally getting an opportunity to see if the tyres help to deliver more entertaining races.

"This is the moment that we've been building up to for more than a year now and it's very exciting for all of us," he said. "Our tyres this year are designed to be different to what we have seen before in Formula One, but I think all the teams have managed to gather some useful information about them in testing.

We're aiming for between two and three pit stops in Australia, which in some ways is against our company DNA as our road car tyres are designed to be as durable as possible. But Formula One is a very different case, because our remit from the teams and promoter was to provide entertainment. With that in mind, we're just keen to get going now and it will be fascinating to see exactly how the drivers and teams are going to use our tyres to employ different strategies during the race. We've noticed a few differences between the teams already in testing, and it's going to be very interesting to find out exactly how that translates into a race situation."

La FIA ha decidido ampliar el segmento donde se puede usar el alerón trasero móvil, ahora será en toda la recta principal y no en los últimos 600 metros como originalmente se había propuesto. Para poder usar el alerón, el piloto necesita haber pasado por el puesto de control de la curva 14 a menos de un segudo de distancia del que va adelante.

FIA lengthens rear wing overtaking zone


The FIA has tweaked the moveable rear wing regulations ahead of the first race of the season to increase the chances of the new system boosting overtaking.

The area in which the wing can be deployed during races has been extended beyond the 600-metre zone originally penciled in to incorporate the entire pit-straight at the Albert Park circuit. If a driver is within one second of the car in front when he enters turn 14 he will then be able to activate his rear wing two turns later at the entrance of the final corner. In total the distance between the activation line and the first corner will be just under 860 metres.

The hope is that the reduction in drag will allow the chasing car to close the gap on the pit straight and attempt a passing move into the first corner. Both the timing line where the gap between the cars is monitored and the rear wing activation line will be marked on the circuit to give spectators a clearer idea of when the system can be used.

Van a haber varios volantines tipo Webber en Valencia con esta vara.

Hmmm, Webber con largas caminatas por la playa con hombres, admirando la salchicha, no sé, no sé. Not that there's anything wrong with that...
