Maximum forward to see Alonso in Chester

It was Alonso’s day and the reigning world champion responded to expectations in a circuit in which there were 36,400 people and where there were traffic jams of up to 11 km in its vicinity to arrive. It was ten o’clock in the morning when it came to most desired. Fernando took the F10 and gave a lap of appreciation and then return to the pits. It was the first touchdown. Then he gave his first stint, where was downhill all the time, surprisingly for someone who opens with a new car.

In sets of 10 laps with breaks of no more than 20 minutes, Alonso times 1:12 rondeau always low. Even exceeded by up to six times the best time of Felipe Massa won the previous day. It was around 12 am when he beat first Brazilian record with a time of 1:11.709. Then, at 13:45 pm, returned to surpass himself with which, ultimately, was the best record 1:11:470.

Good day for De la Rosa and Alguersuari
They are also good to see two other Spanish. De la Rosa, who led for a few minutes practice, setting the second fastest time despite the car came to stop in the middle of the track. Alguersuari, meanwhile, became third. It was a historic moment for our country because for the first time three Spanish riders led a rating of times, if only it were some workouts.

Schumacher, soft started, ended this magical moment. He started off his day to register third and oust Alguersuari, thus establishing the first four in perpetuity. World champion, Jenson Button, who made his debut for McLaren, showed he still has a long way to go to the wheel of the MP4-25.

Loaded with fuel
It was a day with a large audience in the stands. Nobody wanted to miss the debut of Alonso. Even many celebrities who came to greet the Spanish drivers like Carlos Sainz, President of the Generalitat Valenciana Francisco Camps, or Valencia goalkeeper Cesar.

In the afternoon session focused more on testing the fuel-laden cars to suit a different type of driving and in which to stem also changes. Do not forget that this year you can not refuel during the race and so the driver wants to adjust to this new rule. Hence, the records were worse, and except in the final straight in to try to empty shells fall times, as did the Russian Vitaly Petrov-R30 with the thing did not dare.

What is clear is that Fernando Alonso will fight for the championship this year, which so far is better than teammate and, today, Ferrari is ahead of other teams.

The times in the third and final practice session:
1. Fernando Alonso (Ferrari) 1:11.470 (127 laps)
2. Peter M.de la Rosa (Sauber) 1:12.094 (80)
3. Michael Schumacher (Mercedes) 1:12.438 (82)
4. Alguersuari (Toro Rosso) 1:12.576 (97)
5. Jenson Button (McLaren) 1:12.951 (82)
6. Vitaly Petrov (Renault) 1:13.097 (75)
7. Nico Hulkenberg (Williams) 1:13.669 (126)

Michael Schumacher

we wonder if when he thought the day of his birthday 41/mo Michael Schumacher imagined one step from returning to Formula 1. If the answer is yes, it is fairly certain that was one of the few to do so, because the time of Schumacher driving a car seemed to belong only to the past.

Instead a return to driving a Mercedes F1 GP makes the birthday of German very special. In recent days, the boss of Formula 1, Bernie Ecclestone said that Schumacher will have to contend with the young riders who are part of the circus world champion, ready to find additional stimuli in the competition against one of the most successful drivers in the history of Formula 1 , sometimes described as a true icon of the sport.

Needless to say at the start of the world championship, on March 14, Michael Schumacher will be the oldest driver on the grid. The history of Formula 1, however, is dotted with the pilots who not only took to the track, but have also achieved important results. Among these, for example, Nigel Mansell, one of six drivers who exceeded the age of 40, managed to win a Grand Prize (in Australia in 1994).

An elite which would strongly Schumacher enter. Because, as stated on the same German pilot, his return to F1 is not a mere publicity stunt, but the fruit of the desire to return to compete at the highest levels. Also for this reason, past the celebrations for her birthday, Schumacher will return to work to get ready for his return: in Valencia, from 1 February, the German take to the track in the first qualifying practice session, the first of four tests which will be available before the Bahrain Grand Prix, first race of the new season. A date at which the 41 year-old Schumacher aims to get the best possible way.

President of Ferrari, Luca Montezemolo

FIORANO, 18 December 2009 – The Siamese twins torment Luca di Montezemolo. Last year, the same brother Raikkonen, the one in 2009 had “taken over” the most talented Finn who first year at Ferrari was able to take the world title, had disappointed a lot ‘. Now twinned with Michael Schumacher (who “swore at Monza: Ferrari is my family, I’ll stay for life”), “as the Prancing Horse has to offer him a car wants to run with the Mercedes.” “It’s extraordinary story of the twins,” said Ferrari president, with the pleasure of taking off a sassolone the shoe in the traditional Christmas dinner for the exchange of greetings with reporters. As with Kimi wrong, even with Michael (which he tries in vain to call during dinner) chooses the road of irony.

Sarcasm – But from that irony is understood as a Montezemolo does not go down that after a declaration of eternal love red Maranello, chooses to go racing again even with the Silver Arrows. “I prefer to think of the true twin, the one that gave us so much that at one dressed in other colors.” And then: “Did I give him back the urge to run, when I asked him to replace Massa. For ten minutes he said no, and then convince him to do so because Ferrari is a lifetime. Renounced problems neck, when, in spite of the antisportività Frank Williams, the snooty tone of the English when, without being one, believe they can explain Italians as being athletes, we got to get him to do a test at Mugello. He was sorry lot. Ferrari is a family but has no car and money to give to his brother, unlike the Mercedes. I think 41 years is not 35, but Ross Brawn believe that the twin could do well. Good luck. ” Piero Ferrari laughs: “At the office will change the picture of a twin with those of the other.” “I keep the real ones,” says the lawyer. 2009 has been forgotten. For F60, also blame the uncertainty of a regulation strange, not competitive. For the incident with Felipe. For the war of Mosley. The folly of the absence of testing. For installations empty. And for a single success. Worst result since ’96, if we exclude the year 2005.

Alonso – Renault Alonso arriving, to be presented in Madonna di Campiglio after 11 January.Domenicali “I proposed it three years ago. Todt point to Kimi, that was great. Only it’s not man-team, as it is Fernando and how it was every major champion in history. It’s fast, knows how to work with the team, wants to return to flying after two years mediocre. Felipe wants to go racing again. Even if you can not train. How to forbid a player step on the grass after an injury. madness. Luca Badoer had to him after preferred him to replace Michael Salo in ’99. Him, and then Giancarlo Fisichella, who after one close to victory with Force India, did not arrive in Q2, we did not realize how competitive the F60.

MOSLEY-Todt – “I prefer to remember the good things, like in terms of security, Mosley era. The legal uncertainty detrimental to the sport, and not at random for the first time since ’73 I thought that Ferrari, the CDA was unanimous, left the F1, which was not F1. Now the period is fascinating and Todt, great organizer, the F1 can get back to being competitive, technology and innovation. With attention to reducing unnecessary costs, but also talked of revenues . that other word he never used. It also serves a judge seriously. ”

Future – “Keep the countries with traditionally lower costs of inputs to the GP, reflect the output stage of Toyota and BMW. Luckily, Mercedes and Renault remain. Some circuits seem to camp, and people asked me not to pass more .

Fiat – “The agreement with Chrysler is useful for both. In America in 2010 will do the 300, the flagship, and will produce the 500. Then there’s the Jeep brand, extraordinary, and Dodge. They are ahead in the car electric us on methane, LPG, diesel. We are complementary. will the Juliet of the ALF and the new Doblò. Iveco plaguing the area and that of construction, but also suffer from all competitors. ” More concerned copying Hamilton-Button or the Brawn-Schumacher? “I do not fear anyone.”

According to reports, he would be on the verge of signing a contract with Mercedes, who recently assumed control of the team Brawn. According to the electronic edition of the daily Bild, Schumacher has given his verbal agreement with Norbert Haug and Ross Brawn, the owners of the Mercedes team. The Ferrari boss has reacted to this hypothesis. “It is clear that if he decides to take another route, the agreement between us will no longer be valid, it makes sense,” said Luca di Montezemolo. “It can not work for one of our competitors and us together,” he added. Schumacher said in September that it would work for Ferrari for three more years, but the president of the Italian team said that the sentence was “no commitment”. “I did not yet spoken.’s A friend but not a member of our team, but he is a consultant for our road cars,” he added.

Schumacher had planned to return to F1 in August driving a Ferrari to replace Felipe Massa seriously injured in a racing accident. He was waived because of the aftermath of a neck injury suffered earlier in the year in a motorcycle accident. Ferrari had also considered the possibility to assign a drive when the leave to bring three cars in Grand Prix but he was given the charge of Formula 1 were opposed to this project.

MONACO

The executive director of Mercedes, Nick Fry, said Thursday that the presentation will be “a great event.”

“The teams agreed to make a joint presentation,” said Fry. “It shows we’re working together.”

The filing date has not been decided, but will be just before the first test of the season at the Cheste circuit in Valencia. The Association of Formula One Teams still discussing the logistics.

“I’d pass what we do, but it will be something very innovative,” said Fry. “We will do our own individual submissions. We can make something much better for the public.”

Fry also said that Mercedes, which bought Brawn Grand Prix last month, will announce its drivers in early January. Nico Rosberg already signed world champion to replace Jenson Button, and has been linked with a comeback from German Michael Schumacher.

“This year we learned that we must have two drivers capable of scoring points in every race,” said Fry. “With the lack of evidence is very difficult to claim that a young driver does, so the priority on our list are people with experience in Formula One.”
