<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>With all this new blood suddenly exploding on scene, it is quite difficult to see through the winter fog and make out who is going where. A few drivers are still pending for the moment, but the below list should be what is confirmed until today.</p>
<p>McLaren (formerly known as McLaren Mercedes)</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">1. Jenson Button (moved from Brawn GP)<br />
2. Lewis Hamilton</p>
<p>Mercedes GP (formerly known as Brawn GP)</p>

6. Mark Webber</p>
<p>Ferrari</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">7. Felipe Massa<br />
8. Fernando Alonso (moved from Renault)</p>
<p>Williams</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">9. Rubens Barrichello (moved from Brawn GP)<br />
10. Nico Hulkenburg (promoted to F1 from GP2)</p>

<p style="padding-left:30px;">13. Adrian Sutil<br />

<p style="padding-left:30px;">19. Unknown<br />
20. Bruno Senna (promoted from GP2)</p>
<p>USF1</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">21. Unknown<br />
22. Unknown</p>
<p>Virgin Racing (formerly known as Manor F1)</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">23. Timo Glock (moved from Toyota)<br />
24. Lucas di Grassi (promoted to F1 after four seasons at GP2)</p>
<p>Sauber (formerly known as BMW Sauber)</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">Team Numbers and Drivers Unknown at this point.</p>
<p>2009 Drivers:</p>
<ol>
<li>Nelson Piquet Jnr. (ex-Renault)</li>
<li>Sebastien Bourdais (ex-Toro Rosso)</li>
<li>Kazuki Nakajima (ex-Williams)</li>
<li>Nick Heidfeld (ex-BMW)</li>
<li>Christian Klien (ex-BMW test driver)</li>
<li>Kamui Kobayashi (ex-Toyota)</li>
<li>Romain Grosjean (ex-Renault, mid season)</li>
<li>Jaime Alguersuari (ex-Toro Rosso, mid season)</li>
</ol>
<p>Kimi Raikkonen (ex-Ferrari, on one-year sabbatical)</p>
<p>The British pairing at the top of the grid makes for an exciting one. One cannot help put think back to the Hamilton-Alonso pairing (two hot heads) and the problems they encountered. Norbert Haug silenced doubts that history would repeat itself here. Hamilton can be a little cocky at times. I beg to differ with Haug. If not in 2010, then 2011.</p>
<div id="attachment_311" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 282px"><a href="http://thef1condition.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/buttonhamilton.jpeg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-311" title="Lewis &#38; Jenson" src="http://thef1condition.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/buttonhamilton.jpeg?w=272" alt="" width="272" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Team McLaren</p></div>
<p>It was about time Nico Rosberg found a comfortable and worthy home for himself. He&#8217;s always been fast and consistent but never convincing enough for my liking. Is Michael Schumacher preparing to take the second seat? Is the world about to witness Schumi in overalls other than Red ones? That hasn&#8217;t happened since his various motor sport ventures in the Race of Champions and his motorcycle venture. Mercedes is German after all but because Schumi and Ferrari have been ubiquitous together, rest assured, fans of zee Ge&#8217;man are also die hard Red fans. Silver or Grey or whatever Mercedes come up with will not cut it.</p>
<div id="attachment_312" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://thef1condition.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/rosberg-588.jpeg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-312" title="Rosberg" src="http://thef1condition.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/rosberg-588.jpeg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="175" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Rosberg moves along to Team Mercedes</p></div>
<p>Fernando Alonso is a wild Spaniard. Does anyone else feel like F1 is slowly becoming A1GP&#8217;s big brother? British, German, and Latin&#8230;what&#8217;s next? Fernando is a wild Spaniard and it all spills out vigorously on track. He is perfect for Ferrari and everybody at the Scuderia could not agree more. I can&#8217;t wait for him to show us his Champion colors. I feel if I were to cut into his skin, he would leak blue and yellow. It will take some time for his immune system to get used to something else. Ferrari will inevitably do the job.</p>
<div id="attachment_313" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://thef1condition.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/alonso-ferrari.jpeg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-313" title="Ferrari's Alonso" src="http://thef1condition.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/alonso-ferrari.jpeg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Alonso becomes part of the Scuderia</p></div>
<p>Lotus, Campos, USF1, and Virgin Racing are all suspended in midair for the moment. I am eager to see which falls where..first.</p>

<p>After competing in GP2 for four seasons and regularly testing for Renault, Lucas Di Grassi has been a familiar face in the Formula One paddock for a number of years. In fact, ever since he won the prestigious Formula Three Macau Grand Prix back in 2005, Di Grassi has been on the radar of many team principals as a young talent to watch. It may have been a long wait but next season the Brazilian will finally make it onto the Formula One grid, racing for the newly launched Virgin team alongside former Toyota driver Timo Glock. Here the 25 year-old discusses his new team, Glock and his prospects for 2010…</p>

<p>Lotus team principal Tony Fernandes admitted he was still pinching himself after signing two of the biggest names on the grid to drive for his new, Malaysian-backed squad next season. In Jarno Trulli, Heikki Kovalainen and Malaysian tester Fairuz Fauzy, Fernandes believes he has the perfect driver combination&#8230;</p>

<p>Lotus&#8217;s signing of Jarno Trulli and Heikki Kovalainen for 2010 gives the new Malaysian-backed team one of the quickest and most experienced driver line-ups on the grid.

<p>With Virgin Racing&#8217;s Tuesday announcement having seen more pieces of the 2010 driver jigsaw fitted into place, a number of spots on the grid remain vacant ahead of the upcoming season.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I think the first point to make as regards to the roumers that Michael Schumacher is actively looking to reignite his career with Mercedes (née Brawn) GP is to understand that it seems his competitive instincts are undiminished. Until the accident that prevented him replacing Felipe Massa at Ferrari, Schumacher had been taking bike racing ever more seriously. He regularly karts, and enjoyed his regular appearance at the Race of Champions.</p>
<p>Although I would never profess to be a Schumacher fan, I would much rather see him back in F1 than losing the most statistically successful driver of all time to an accident in a low-level motorcycle race. Remember that champions often lose their lives doing other things (Graham Hill, Colin McRae, Jim Clark, Mike Hawthorn etc). Indeed, Ayrton Senna was one of the few former champions to lose his life in an F1 car. So from that point of view, I&#8217;d much rather see Michael getting his fix in a series that befits him and (when compared to motor cycle racing anyway) is relatively safe.</p>
<p>I am sure however that, commercial decisions aside, it is a pairing that can only go badly <em>in some way</em> for either Schumacher, Mercedes, or Nico Rosberg.</p>
<p>If Schumacher comes back and struggles, particularly against Rosberg, he will look like and idiot and his legacy will be devalued, much like Nigel Mansell, who after winning the &#8216;94 Austrailian GP should have retired, rather than persisting with an short-lived and unfortunate streak with McLaren in 1995. If Schumacher comes back with even only 60% of his previous skill in and out of the car, he may well destroy Rosberg, which will seriously limit Rosberg&#8217;s career prospects (I am a Rosberg fan but I fear its true nonetheless). Finally, if Schumacher lives the dream and wins many races and/or the championship, his genius will be (rightly) credited for the win &#8211; Mercedes&#8217; efforts will be devalued.</p>
<p>Whichever way you look at it, someone is going to be disgruntled at the end of the year, and I fear it may be Michael&#8230;</p>
<p>* * *</p>
<p>A knock on effect of the shenanigans of Brawn/Mercedes/Mclaren/Button/Schumacher, is that Kimi Raikkonen was left without a drive befitting of his status. I think he has shown immense balls by giving the Word Rally Championship a go with Citroen. I will support his efforts to the hilt and after a difficult first few months, I think he will do better than a lot of people are expecting. Kimi is first and foremost an amazingly talented natural, precise and devastatingly fast <em>driver of a car</em>. This sounds like a daft thing to say, but I think where he lacks is out of the car &#8211; dealing with politics, engineers, media, leading a team etc. This is what blunts his package as a driver. When it comes to wheel and pedals though, I am convinced there is no one faster in recent F1 history.</p>
<p>Those skills are innate and are transferrable. He will just need to learn how to harness that in a WRC car (as Marcus Gronholm has mentioned).</p>
<p>To me, it seemed that simply, his motivation waned after snatching the 2007 championship from under the noses of Hamilton and Alonso. Since then, he has rarely turned it on and really excelled. However it&#8217;s still there, has his wonderful drive in Spa this year proved, in a car that was most likely a midfield contender.</p>
<p>Good luck Kimi, I hope you get your mojo back on the special stages!</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">El hijo de uno de los mejores bigotes de la competición (con perdón a Mario Theissen) tiene una oportunidad de oro para igualar o superar las gestas de su padre que aún puede reírse de él en las cenas de Navidad. La verdad que puede ser el tapado de la temporada con un coche, presumiblemente, ganador y las buenas maneras que demostró cuando ganó en 2005 la GP2 y los destellos  de calidad que nos ha dejado ver en Williams las pocas veces que su montura le ha permitido podría ser una buena opción si nos queremos forrar con las apuestas.</p>

<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Heidfeld é o mais cotado para ser o companheiro de Rosberg em 2010</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nick Fry, executivo-chefe da Mercedes, antiga Brawn, afirmou nesta quarta-feira que deve finalizar sua dupla de pilotos para 2010 antes das festas de fim de ano.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Por enquanto, o time perdeu os dois pilotos de 2009, Jenson Button (para a McLaren) e Rubens Barrichello (para a Williams), e anunciou o nome de Nico Rosberg para a próxima temporada.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Desta forma, Fry espera confirmar nas próximas quatro semanas o companheiro de Rosberg, para poder dar continuidade aos trabalhos. Nick Heidfeld, ex-BMW, é o mais cotado.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>&#8220;Não temos muita pressão no momento, mas com o Natal e o Ano Novo chegando, isso torna as coisas mais difíceis. Espero poder anunciar a dupla de pilotos para 2010 antes deste período, por razões lógicas&#8221;</strong></em>, afirmou.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>A Mercedes-Benz GP, compradora da Brawn GP, anunciou no site oficial da escuderia o acerto com Nico Rosberg para a próxima temporada. O alemão, que disputou este ano pela Williams, chega para ser um dos titulares da escuderia.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I&#8217;ve finally got 5 minutes to myself, so I thought I&#8217;d do a quick post on the movements of all the drivers for 2010.  Obviously, not everyone has been announced, but thus far, here are the teams and line-ups for the 2010 championship.</p>
<p><strong>McLaren</strong> &#8211; Lewis Hamilton &#38; Jenson Button (from Brawn GP now Mercedes)</p>
<p><strong>Ferrari</strong> &#8211; Felipe Massa &#38; Fernando Alonso (from Renault)</p>
<p><strong>Brawn (now Mercedes)</strong> &#8211; Nico Rosberg (from Williams) &#38; TBA</p>
<p><strong>Red Bull Racing</strong>- Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber (no change)</p>
<p><strong>Renault</strong> &#8211; Robert Kubica (From BMW Sauber) &#38; TBA</p>
<p><strong>Williams</strong> &#8211; Rubens Barrichello (from Mercedes formally Brawn) &#38; Nico Hulkenburg</p>
<p><strong>Force India </strong>- TBA &#38; TBA</p>
<p><strong>Toro Rosso</strong> &#8211; TBA &#38; TBA</p>
<p><strong>Manor GP</strong> &#8211; Timo Glock (from Toyota) &#38; TBA</p>
<p><strong>USF1 </strong>- Jose Maria Lopez (subject to securing sponsorship) &#38; TBA</p>
<p><strong>Lotus</strong> &#8211; Jarno Trulli &#38; Heikki Kovalainen</p>
<p><strong>Campos Meta</strong> &#8211; Bruno Senna &#38; TBA</p>
<p><strong>BMW Sauber</strong> &#8211; Withdrawn</p>
<p><strong>Toyota</strong> &#8211; Withdrawn</p>
<p>This still leaves quite a few F1 drivers without a confirmed seat so far.  These include ;</p>
<p>Heidfeld, Grosjean, Fisichella (quite likely to return to Force India), Sutil, Liuzzi, Kobiyashi, Alguersuari, Nakajima, Kovalainen, Raikkonen (sabbatical unless a championship winning seat is available).  Other possibilities include De La Rosa, Piquet, Bourdais, Davidson, Sato and Wurz.  I could continue, but it would make my list quite long.</p>
<p>There are several teams with one experienced driver announced, which could pave the way for them to sign a younger driver, or former F1 driver a second &#8216;rookie&#8217; seat.</p>
<p>Campos have put their money in Senna and will want an experienced driver to direct the team into the 2010 season, which would leave the door open for drivers such as Heidfeld or even De La Rosa.  Either way, I&#8217;ll keep the list updated with any further announcements.</p>
<p>As for the 2010 calendar, that&#8217;s had some changes also, and there is still some debate if some of the tracks will still be participating.  Most notably in the United Kingdom, is the British Grand Prix.  It has been said my Bernie Ecclestone that Silverstone (who have been handed an offer due to Donington now in the hands of  administrators), has until the 9th of November to make their minds up or there is no British Grand Prix.</p>
<p>The Canadian GP is subject to completion of changes, Korean subject to completion and</p>

<description><![CDATA[Nico Rosberg Il pilota tedesco Nico Rosberg correrà nella prossima stagione a bordo di una monoposto]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img title="Nico Rosberg" src="http://i50.tinypic.com/154j8dz.jpg" alt="Nico Rosberg" width="200" height="200" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Nico Rosberg</p></div>
<p>Il pilota tedesco Nico Rosberg correrà nella prossima stagione a bordo di una monoposto della Mercedes GP, nata proprio dall&#8217;acquisto di quote di maggioranza della scuderia di Ross Brawn. Ad ufficializzarlo è stata la stessa scuderia tedesca con un comunicato.</p>
<p>Nico Rosberg, 24 anni, ha fatto il suo esordio in Formula uno nella stagione 2006 a bordo della Williams, ha all&#8217;attivo ben 70 Gran Premi ed è salito sul podio per due volte.</p>
<p>Ancora nulla da parte della casa di Stoccarda riguardo al pilota che affiancherà Nico Rosberg, pare che la scuderia si stia orientando verso un&#8217;altro tedesco, Nick Heidfeld, anche se le indiscrezioni parlano ancora di trattative in corso con il sette volte Mampione del Mondo Michael Schumacher.</p>
<p><strong>Il primo commento di Nico Rosberg:</strong><br />
<em>“Sono molto felice di far parte del rilancio delle Frecce d’Argento nel 2010. Nessun altro brand in Formula 1 può guardare al passato con una tradizione così ricca di successi nel mondo dei motori.<br />
Sono molto orgoglioso di poter guidare per il nuovo Team Mercedes e di lavorare con Ross Brawn. Sono più motivato che mai e non vedo l’ora di incominciare con i test della nuova Freccia d’Argento e di disputare la prima gara in Bahrain il 14 marzo 2010″.</em></p>
<p><strong>Il commento di Norbert Haug:</strong><br />
<em>&#8220;Ho visto Nico sin da quando correva con i kart assieme a Lewis Hamilton. Lo conosco sin da quando era un bambino. Era chiaro sin da subito che avrebbe fatto strada e ora è uno dei nostri piloti Mercedes. Questo renderà la nostra ri-nasciata ancora più bella, anche perchè lui è un talento e un pilota molto simpatico. Nico ha molte abizioni in comune connoi e quindi sono impaziente di mettermi a lavorare al suo fianco.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><strong>Il commento di Ross Brawn:</strong><br />
<em>“Nico è un grande talento e con i suoi quattro anni di esperienza in F1, è un pilota che potrà dare un valido contributo al team”.</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Jetzt steht also der erste Fahrer für das neue Team Mercedes GP (früher Brawn GP). Es ist Nico Rosberg. Das gab das neue F1 Team Mercedes GP heute bekannt.</p>
<p>Einen Dämpfer gab es von Teamchef Ross Brawn für die Gerüchte um einen möglichen Transfer von Michael Schumacher zu Mercedes. Ross Brawn nannte es einen Traum der Medien. Weiter sagte Brawn, das an dem Gerücht nichts dran wäre.</p>
<p>Ich persönlich hätte mir das auch nicht vorstellen können, das Michael Schumacher noch ans Lenkrad geht. Bei Ferrari wollte er dies ja auch nur aushilfsweise tun. Er hat seine Karriere gehabt, nun sind andere dran!!!</p>

<description><![CDATA[Quando tuto gira per il verso giusto sembra non avere rivali; cosi Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull) vince]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1902" title="vettel abu" src="http://motoranto.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/vettel-abu.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="304" /><br />
Quando tuto gira per il verso giusto sembra non avere rivali; cosi Sebastian <strong>Vettel </strong>(Red Bull) vince il GP di Abu Dhabi, davanti al compagno di team Mark <strong>Webber </strong>e al neo campione del mondo Jenson <strong>Button</strong> (Brawn GP).<br />
Il campionato si chiude quindi con la vittoria del baby fenomeno e la sensazione è che quest&#8217;anno Vettel abbia buttato alle ortiche (causa errori suoi e del team) una grande occasione per portarsi a casa il titolo.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">Durante le qualifiche <strong>Hamilton </strong>aveva messo in riga tutti ma Vettel si era insediato in seconda posizione con una monoposto più carica di benzina dell&#8217;Inglese, facendo presagire una facile vittoria, mentre le Brawn GP di <strong>Barrichello </strong>e <strong>Button</strong>, in quarta e quinta posizione, seguivano la seconda Red Bull di <strong>Webber</strong>.<br />
Male, anzi malissimo le Ferrari con <strong>Raikkonen </strong>11esimo e <strong>Fisichella </strong>ultimo.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">Allo start Hamilton tiene la posizione grazie al kers, con Vettel Webber e Button a seguirlo, mentre <strong>Barrichello </strong>in un contatto col compagno di squadra rovina l&#8217;ala anteriore, fortunatamente senza che ciò leda le sue prestazioni.<br />
Fisichella recupera diverse posizioni, mentre Raikkonen ne perde una a favore del debuttante Kobayashi.<br />
Nel primo stint di gara la sfida è tutta fra <strong>Hamilton </strong>e Vettel, con l&#8217;Inglese obbligato a costruirsi un vantaggio tale da poter ritornare in pista dopo il pit stop davanti a <strong>Vettel</strong>, ma il Tedeschino sebbene con una monoposto più pesante, gli resiste incollato ai suoi scarichi.<br />
Al primo pit stop si fermano nell&#8217;ordine Barrichello, Kubica, Hamilton, Button e dopo tre giri anche <strong>Vettel</strong>, che nel frattempo, liberatosi di Hamilton timbra giri veloci a ripetizione.<br />
Tornato in pista in testa, seguito da <strong>Hamilton</strong>, Vettel allunga ma proprio in quel momento il pilota della <strong>McLaren </strong>accusa pesanti problemi ai freni che lo obbligano al ritiro, il primo della sua carriera per problemi meccanici.<br />
<strong>Vettel </strong>quindi non ha più nulla da temere visto che il secondo in classifica Webber, subisce da lui distacchi pesanti ad ogni giro; nelle posizioni di rincalzo, grazie ad una gara impostata su di una sosta, Kobayashi e <strong>Raikkonen </strong>risalgono il gruppo con il Giapponese in terza posizione ed il ferrarista in sesta.<br />
Purtroppo per Kimi però le enormi difficoltà della F60 nello scaldare gli pneumatici lo obbligheranno a remare e perdere molto terreno dopo la sosta, vanificando ciò che di buono poteva fare; <strong>Kobayashi </strong>dal canto suo contiene benissimo il ritmo arrembante dei piloti su due soste e riesce ad installarsi in sesta posizione.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">Nell&#8217;ultimo stint di gara, dopo la seconda sosta, le posizioni rimangono invariate, con <strong>Vettel </strong>al comando con un margine di una ventina di secondi su <strong>Webber</strong>, il quale negli ultimi giri deve fare i conti con l&#8217;arrembante Campione del Mondo Jenson <strong>Button </strong>che, montate le gomme morbide, recupera quasi un secondo al giro, piombando addosso all&#8217;Australiano nelle ultime due tornate.<br />
Jenson ci prova, forza un paio di staccate, ma Webber resiste mostrando i muscoli e Button deve arrendersi e rinunciare al secondo posto.<br />
<strong>Barrichello </strong>conclude quarto seguito da un costante Heidfeld, poi l&#8217;ottimo <strong>Kobayashi </strong>che si mette dietro il caposquadra Trulli e in ottava posizione <strong>Buemi </strong>della Toro Rosso.<br />
Nulla da fare per la Ferrari per il terzo posto nel mondiale costruttori perchè nonostante lo stop di Hamilton, gli zero punti conquistati da Kimi <strong>Raikkonen </strong>e Giancarlo <strong>Fisichella </strong>non hanno permesso il sorpasso e la conseguente conquista di svariati milioni di dollari di premio.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">Il mondiale quindi si chiude con un <strong>Vettel </strong>in piena forma e con le Ferrari mestamente ai box a coronamento di una stagione perlomeno fallimentare; unico momento positivo del 2009 per il team di Maranello è da considerarsi la vittoria di Kimi <strong>Raikkonen </strong>sul circuito di Spa, teatro delle imprese dei più grandi piloti della storia.<br />
La Formula 1 volta quindi pagina, in attesa di vedere confermati i nuovi team che prenderanno parte al campionato del prossimo anno e in attesa di capire quali saranno i loro piloti.<br />
La Ferrari, come già annunciato, schiererà Fernando <strong>Alonso </strong>e Felipe <strong>Massa</strong>, nella speranza di poter tornare a conquistare quel mondiale piloti che nell&#8217;era post Schumacher solo Raikkonen è riuscito a vincere.<br />
o farà contando anche sull&#8217;esperienza di Giancarlo <strong>Fisichella </strong>come terzo pilota; un Fisichella deludente che negli ultimi 5 GP non è riuscito a conquistare nemmeno un punto mondiale (a fronte degli ottimi risultati di Kimi) e proprio di un punto la Ferrari non è riuscita a sopravanzare la McLaren nel mondiale costruttori.<br />
A Maranello si libereranno di Kimi <strong>Raikkonen </strong>quindi, il pilota di ghiaccio che non ama parlare e fare polemica, il pilota che dall&#8217;uscita di scena di Massa ha conquistato tre podi ed una vittoria, trascinando da solo il team per tutta la seconda parte della stagione.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">Nel <strong>2010 </strong>probabilmente i valori in campo cambieranno; la <strong>Ferrari </strong>lavora da almeno 6 mesi al progetto della monoposto per il prossimo anno, mentre la <strong>Brawn GP</strong> a fronte delle poche risorse disponibili perderà sicuramente il vantaggio di svluppo avuto durante il 2009.<br />
La <strong>McLaren</strong> con Hamilton sarà sicura protagonista mentre in <strong>Red Bull</strong> Vettel partirà con l&#8217;obiettivo di vincere il mondiale, ma gli errori del team dovranno essere ridotti a zero perchè a quanto pare le squadre in lotta per l&#8217;iride non saranno più solo due.</span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"></p>
<p>Elérkeztünk a Száguldó Cirkusz azon szakaszába, amelyik bombahírektől és bombapletykáktól hangos: bár a pályán semmi sem történik, most alakul ki a 2010-es felállás, és a pilótapiac „felszabadulásával” egyre erőteljesebben pusztítják a csapatok a kérdőjeleket. Ettől függetlenül van belőlük bőven, és még hosszú ideig találkozhatunk megválaszolatlan kérdésekkel.</p>
<p>Jövőre 13 csapat indul, minden istálló két pilótát vonultat fel. A teljes mezőnyből mindössze négy csapat ismertette mindkét versenyzőjének a kilétét:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Red Bull:</strong> Sebastan Vettel (német) és Mark Webber (ausztrál) – tehát a 2009-es felállás.<br />
<strong>McLaren Mercedes:</strong> Lewis Hamilton (brit) és Jenson Button (brit) – az utóbbi évek legerősebb felállásának tekinthetjük abból a szempontból, hogy két világbajnokot vonultat fel a csapat. Utoljára 1989-ben volt példa arra, hogy két, már világbajnok pilóa ugyanazon csapatban versenyezzen: a francia Alain Prost és a brazil Ayrton Senna éppen a McLaren színeiben rótta a köröket, és csúnya marakodástt eredményezett a „bajnokok harca”.<br />
<strong>Ferrari: </strong>Felipe Massa (brazil) és Fernando Alonso (spanyol) – a maranellóiak fizettek Räikkönennek, hogy 2010-re még érvényes szerződése ellenére hagyja el a csapatot.<br />
<strong>Williams: </strong>Nico Hülkenberg (német) és Rubens Barrichello (brazil) – Hülkenberget az a Wili Weber menedzseli, aki korábban a Schumacher-testvéreket is „beszervezte” a Forma–1-be. </p></blockquote>
<p>További négy csapat már hivatalosan bejelentette a szerződését az egyik pilótájával:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Renault:</strong> Robert Kubica (lengyel). A francia gyártó lehetőségei között elsősorban a már idén kipróbált francia Romain Grosjean szerepel, de korántsem biztos, hogy ő kapja a másik autót.<br />
<strong>Toro Rosso:</strong> Sebastien Buemi (svájci).<br />
<strong>Manor: </strong>Timo Glock (német).<br />
<strong>Campos:</strong> Bruno Senna (brazil) – a fiatal dél-amerikai tehetség a néhai Ayrton Senna unokaöccse.</p></blockquote>
<p>A Brawn GP utódja, a <strong>Mercedes GP </strong>egyik pilótája a német Nico Rosberg – annak ellenére, hogy a szerződést hivatalosan még nem közölték. A világbajnok csapat másik 2010-es versenyzője több mint valószínű, hogy a szintén német Nick Heidfeld. Kavarog a hír Michael Schumacher szerződtetéséről – aki egyébként elérte, hogy a Ferrarihoz kapcsoló tanácsadói szerződését bármikor felbonthassa –, de a szerződés életképességéről eléggé megosztott a vélemény.</p>
<p>Szinte biztos, hogy a <strong>Force Indiánál </strong>megmarad Adrian Sutil. Bár az idén kiválóan versenyző németet korábban a McLarennel is összefüggésbe hozták, jelenleg egyetlen lehetősége az átigazoláshoz a BMW utódcsapata, a Sauber-Qadhok. Az indiai csapat tehát az egyes számú pilótájában sem lehet biztos, a második számú pedig ennél is nagyobb rejtély.</p>
<p>Az említett <strong>Sauber </strong>csapat mellett a visszatérő <strong>Lotus </strong>és az újonc amerikai <strong>US F1 </strong>berkeiben még nincs konkrétan megnevezett pilóta. Eléggé nagy a valószínűsége, hogy az amerikai csapat színeiben visszatér 1997 kanadai világbajnoka, Jacques Villeneuve, viszont egyre több pletykát hallani a tengerentúliak felkészületlenségéről. Számos szakértő kétségbe vonja a US F1 2010-es indulását.</p>
<p>A bejegyzés végére pedig érdekességnek: Ross Brawn jelképes összegért, 1 fontért vásárolta fel a Forma–1-es bukás után a Honda-csapatot. A Brawn által felpofozott csapat megnyerte a konstruktőri vb-t, és az egyéni világbajnokot is – Buttont – ő adta. Ma a csapat értéke mintegy 245 millió dollár – derült ki, miután a Mercedest birtokló Daimler és részvényese, az Abar 184,2 milliót fizetett a 75,1 százalékos többségi tulajdonért. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/kimi-raikkonen.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2754" title="kimi Raikkonen" src="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/kimi-raikkonen.jpg" alt="" width="655" height="368" /></a><em>Kimi depois da vitória em Spa: velocidade pura<br />
</em></p>
<p>Como podem ver pelos noticiários, Raikonnen tem seu futuro garantido no mundo da velocidade. Resta saber se a Mercedes vai deixar um piloto de categoria superior fora dos planos de sua equipe. Num mundial que terá duplas formadas por Alonso/ Massa na Ferrari e Hamilton/ Button na McLaren, acredito que Rosberg e mais um não farão sombra.</p>
<p>A McLaren seduziu Button. Chamou o menino para sua casa, mostrou toda sua tradição e grandeza, dando garantias que ele terá condições de brigar com Hamilton e a trupe da Ferrari pelo título. Na Brawn/ Mercedes ele teria sossego e sua conta ficaria mais gorda mas, como ele mesmo disse, topou o desafio. Gostei e muito da atitude dele. E a McLaren conseguiu forma uma dupla forte, mandando Kovalainen pro saco. Na verdade, nem sei o que Kovalainen estava fazendo na F1.</p>
<p><a href="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/button.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2750" title="button" src="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/button.jpg" alt="" width="655" height="400" /></a><em>Jenson Button: o tranquilão</em></p>
<p>Jenson é um piloto equilibrado, calmo, que apresenta uma técnica de pilotagem suave, com poucos erros e sempre constante. É o equilíbrio que falta em Hamilton, que tem um talento latente, uma vontade louca, muita velocidade, mas sem controle nas suas ações.</p>
<p>Assim como Kovalainen, não sei o Heidfeld faz na F1. Tem seu nome vinculado a uma possível ida para a Mercedes. Seria uma péssima escolha dos alemães, pois ficariam com uma dupla mediana. O cara é uma âncora. Rosberg tem talento sim, mas ainda falta provar mais alguma coisa, não sei bem o que. Acho que falta velocidade. Foi regular neste ano, mas a Williams também foi. Se você parar para pensar no quanto a Williams gastou neste ano, eles fizeram um belo campeonato.</p>
<p><a href="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/07_williams_toyota_fw31_72dpi.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2751" title="Nico Rosberg" src="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/07_williams_toyota_fw31_72dpi.jpg" alt="" width="655" height="436" /></a><em>Rosberg: falta agressividade ou velocidade?</em></p>
<p>Já a Ferrari fez uma bela escolha. E não estou falando que Kimi é muito pior que Alonso, muito pelo contrário. Alonso é metódico, estudioso e rápido. Sabe como trabalhar em equipe, consegue transmitir melhor para os mecânicos as reações do carro. É talento puro.</p>
<p><a href="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/alonso.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2752" title="Alonso" src="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/alonso.jpg" alt="" width="655" height="404" /></a><em>Alonso: qualidades únicas</em></p>
<p>Já Kimi, o negócio dele é ter um carro rápido e pisar fundo. Ele consegue tirar o máximo do carro quando quer. Não se importa muito em passar suas intimidades com o carro para os mecânicos. Eles que se virem com a telemetria e tratem de melhorar o carro.O cara é velocidade pura. Um talento nato. Provou isso neste ano em Spa, quando saiu em sexto e ganhou a corrida. Quando estava na McLaren, o motor Mercedes o deixava na mão num GP, no outro ele largava em último e chegava ao pódio.</p>
<p>E o Felipe Massa é vontade de vencer, é aguerrido, sangue quente e agressivo. Não é tão talentoso quanto Alonso e nem tão rápido quanto Raikonnen. Mas tem o espírito de vencedor e aprendeu a ser um piloto de ponta.</p>
<p><a href="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/massa.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2753" title="massa" src="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/massa.jpg" alt="" width="655" height="425" /></a><em>Massa: o que falta em técnica preenche com força de vontade</em></p>
<p>Se as três equipes fizerem o dever de casa, o campeonato do ano que vem promete. E nem falei de Red Bull com Vettel e a possível ida de Schumacher para a Mercedes.</p>
<p>Se a Red Bull fizer um carro bom e Scumacher for para a Mercedes&#8230;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Saapahan nyt nähdä, että montako suomalaista siellä ajaa. Formuloissa ensi kaudella siis.</p>
<p>Kimi on nyt näillä näkymin pitämässä välivuotta (jos tekee paluuta sitten lainkaan..), eikä Heikilläkään ole vielä ainakaan julkaistua sopimusta ensi kaudelle. Niso ajelee Mercedeksellä, mutta se onkin vain puolisuomalainen. Tai kai Kimillä on vielä joku jalka jotenkin Mercedeksen oven välissä, mutta saa nyt nähdä.<br />
Jossain haastattelussa Kovalainen tosin tuumasi, että ensi vuonna formuloita ajaa jokatapauksessa, ei vaan ole varma vielä että missä. Saapi nähdä.</p>
<p>Neljä uutta tallia tulee mukaan häntäpäähän pyörimään. Kaikilla on Cosworthin moottorit, joista ei ole aiemminkaan ollut mihinkään. ProDrive koetti tarjota itseään uudeksi talliksi kans ja sillä oli käytännössä moottorisopimus mersun kanssa, mutta FIA ei ottanut sitä mukaan. Ilman perusteita ProDriven mukaan.</p>
<p>Saksalaisia äf-ykkösissä ensi kaudella ajelee Nison lisäksi ainakin Timo Glock (Campos Meta F1) ja Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull). Nich Heidfeld on kait vielä ilman tallipaikkaa.</p>
<p>Mielestäni viime vuosina tallipaikat on jaettu jonkun verran aikaisemmin. Mutta tänä vuonna näin. Joitain sääntöuudistuksia on tulossa ensi kaudelle kans. Olikohan jopa niin, että välitankkaus jää pois. Ja aika-ajoja rukataan taas johonkin suuntaan kans. Perinteisesti.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Essa eu deixo com vocês: vocês acreditam que Kimi vai ficar fora da F1 durante o ano de 2010 ou já fechou com a Mercedes? O que vocês acham?</p>
<p>Tudo leva a crer que Kimi deu um tchauzinho temporário. Mas eu não apostaria dinheiro nisso. A Mercedes já avisou aos navegantes que, para o ano que vem, a equipe poderá ter algumas surpresas, mas não terá dois pilotos alemães, descartando ﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿assim Nick Heidfeld. A equipe disse que ela será uma equipe internacional. Uma das vagas é de Nico Rosberg.</p>
<p>*<strong>Porém,  eu li uma notícia veiculada no Correido da Manhã (Portugal) e no site autocar.co.uk A Mercedes tenta contratar Schumacher. Não li isso em nenhum site brasileiro ainda. Especulação?</strong></p>
<p>E a Mercedes tem grana para bancar ele.</p>
<p>Já Button eu acho que mandou mal em escolher a casa de Hamilton. Lembram do que aconteceu com Alonso?</p>
<p>Abraços</p>
<p>*post atualizado no intervalo da aula. Não tinha nada para fazer e a notícia pintou.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-51" title="merche" src="http://teamradio.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/merche1.jpg" alt="merche" width="300" height="200" />Saltó la liebre, tras innumerables rumores de separación entre McLaren y Mercedes, hoy la marca de la estrella ha anunciado que se hace con un 75% de los derechos de la escuderia de Ross Brawn. Esto hará que en el próximo año Mercedes se desprenda del 40% de las acciones de McLaren que poseían. la versión oficial es que esto ayudará a mercedes a reducir sus costes, pero la realidad es que McLaren y Mercedes no se soportaban, los alemanes llevaban tiempo intentando colocar a un piloto alemán como compañero de Hamilton, pero Ron Dennis se negaba a ceder, así que ni cortos ni perezosos han comprado un equipo que se acaba de proclamar campeón del mundo de constructores y de pilotos y en el que muy probablemente meterán a Nico Rosberg y para el que también suena Nick Heidfeld, pudiendo enviar a Button a McLaren y dejar a Räikkönen sin asiento en un grande.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Aun así no os preocupéis, en Mercedes no son tontos y han anunciado que también han renovado el contrato para el suministro de motores con McLaren hasta 2015, así unos se aseguran el que probablemente sea el mejor motor de la actual parrilla y los otros tienen a dos equipos punteros con su chapa en el morro.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Q. Are you treating this as your last race for Williams? Nico Rosberg: It is my last race for Willia]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Q. Are you treating this as your last race for Williams?</p>
<p>Nico Rosberg: It is my last race for Williams. And that is it really. It is a bit strange because for four or five years it is the only team I have worked with, so it has been a long time. I get on with everybody really well, obviously, and a lot of respect has built up &#8211; with the mechanics and everyone. So it will be quite strange to leave.</p>
<p>I can also use this opportunity to thank the team, because all in all I think they have done, for my career, a lot of good. Especially Sir Frank [Williams], Adam Parr, Sam Michael and Patrick [Head], they supported my career all these years. So it is a big thank you to them.</p>
<p>Q.So is your future settled then?</p>
<p>NR: I don&#8217;t want to talk about my future. I just want to say that I won&#8217;t be at Williams, because that is for sure.</p>
<p>Q. Do you know where you will be?</p>
<p>NR: I don&#8217;t want to say.</p>
<p>Q. Looking at your season this year, if you had to give yourself a grade of 1-100 on your performance, what grade would you give yourself?</p>
<p>NR: 101! Is that on the scale? No, I&#8217;m just kidding! I would say it has been a good season. I would say that the team has given me a good car this season, which has been important for me because it has given me the opportunity to raise my share value, and gave me a great opportunity for next year to have a chance to get a winning car to win races – which is what I would like to do. For me it has been a good season, and the team gave me a good car.</p>
<p>Of course, it was not as good as we wanted it to be, because we wanted to be on the podium winning races, but it was consistent. We always knew what we had. We knew whichever track we went to we would be up there, finishing top five for a series of races, and seventh in the world championship is okay. From my point of view, I got the best out of the car this season because I could not have beaten [Lewis] Hamilton or [Kimi] Raikkonen, I don&#8217;t think there was any way of beating them, so I got the best out of it. So I am quite pleased.</p>
<p>Q. Both you and Williams made a good step forward this season. How difficult a decision then was is for you to leave?</p>
<p>NR: To say it clearly, Williams is a great team. And there is no reason why they cannot be just as good as this year, next season – which is running quite close to the top. But I am not sure they can win races at the moment. With budgets still being rather free, and an engine change coming up which will not help, so I am not sure they can win races at this point of time – although I am convinced that they can do very well. But I would like to win races. That is what really encouraged me to push for the next step.</p>
<p>Q. So that was your priority – to be in a race-winning car from race one next year?</p>
<p>NR: You never know, but I would like to try and get into a car where I think there is a very good chance of winning.</p>
<p>Q. So will you announce your future after this race?</p>
<p>NR: No. It is going to take some time.</p>
<p>Q. Why will it take time? Is there some reason?</p>
<p>NR: Sorry, I can&#8217;t say.</p>
<p>Q. There is some talk that your affiliation is to Mercedes-Benz next year, and they will decide where you go&#8230;</p>
<p>NR: Sorry…but it is looking good.</p>
<p>Q. When will you able to say something?</p>
<p>NR: I don&#8217;t know. That is quite honest actually.</p>
<p>Q. Will it be a big surprise, or is it something that people already know?</p>
<p>NR: Sorry!</p>
<p>Q. You ran on the Abu Dhabi track this morning. What do you think of it?</p>
<p>NR: It looks great. It looks very good. It is very exciting also. The track should be good. With overtaking I am not sure, because the straight is very, very long. It should help overtaking I guess, but I am not sure. We have to wait and see. All the surroundings are spectacular.</p>
<p>What is very nice is the enthusiasm all the people have here. It is quite different to Bahrain, where it still needs to grow in terms of the enthusiasm from the people who live there. Whereas here, it is already very, very big. I was in Dubai for RBS, doing a sponsor day, and everybody was so enthusiastic which was great to see. It should be a very nice event from that point of view.</p>
<p>Q. Have you done the track in the simulator?</p>
<p>NR: On the simulator I did three hours of running. It was very accurate, so I know the track inside out already. When I go out there, I know exactly what to expect.</p>
<p>Q. And the pitlane exit tunnel?</p>
<p>NR: I hit the wall three times! And I heard the McLaren drivers did a couple more than that. It was the outside wall.</p>
<p>Q. So do you think it will be a problem this weekend?</p>
<p>NR: It should be fine. I don&#8217;t think there will be any problem.</p>
<p>Q. The fact that Abu Dhabi has made such an effort, do you think it could be a problem for the future of the European races?</p>
<p>NR: You don&#8217;t necessarily need that [effort] to have a great grand prix weekend. Most European standards are okay now. F1 needs the grands prix in Europe. The home of F1 is Europe, so I think we need to keep our base there. But it is also nice to have some new races across the world – and to spread F1 a little bit.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2505" title="03" src="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/03.jpg?w=300" alt="03" width="300" height="282" />Hoje daremos continuidade à história dos motores Cosworth na Fórmula Um. Para quem ainda não leu a primeira parte, aqui esta o <a href="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/2009/10/14/motores-cosworth-dfv-v8/" target="_blank">link</a>.</p>
<p>No final da década de 70 e início dos anos 80, o motor Ford-Cosworth já não conseguia mais fazer frente aos motores turbo, que foram introduzidos pela Renault na década de 70.</p>
<p>Com isso, a Cosworth começou a estudar algumas modificações no motor DFV, e em 1983 foi lançada uma nova versão, o DFY. Os cabeçotes foram reformulados e os dutos de admissão e escape foram ampliados. Além disso, um novo coletor de admissão, feito de magnésio, foi introduzido. Essas mudanças reduziram o peso do motor a 307 kg, produzindo 520 cv.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2499" title="rosberg 1983 williams" src="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/rosberg-1983-williams.jpg" alt="rosberg 1983 williams" width="620" height="552" /><em>Rosberg e sua Williams em 1983</em></p>
<p>Os primeiros motores com essa nova configuração foram entregues para as equipes McLaren e Willians, em 1983, para o GP francês daquele ano.</p>
<p>A versão DFY passou por outras alterações, como um novo desenho da cabeça do cilindro, diminuindo o ângulo em que o motor era construido. Um novo virabrequim foi produzido e pistões de alumínio alargados também foram utilizados, diminuindo ainda mais o peso do motor.  A curva de potência do motor já tinha sido completamente alterada, com potência utilizável disponíveis a partir de 6000 a 11.300 rpm. Sete destes novos motores foram construídos para a Tyrrell.</p>
<p><em>Neste ponto da história temos um ponto controverso. Uns dizem que o motor ainda tinha a denominação DFV, outros achavam que era DFY. Por isso muitos creditam à Alboreto a última vitória de um DFV e outros falam que foi a única vitória de um DFY. O GP em questão é o de Detroit, de 1983, citado na primeira parte da história.</em></p>
<p>Porém, nenhumas dessas atualizações deram ao motor capacidade de derrotar os motores turbos. Por causa disso, o motor DFY foi utilizado somente por equipes pequenas até o ano 1985, quando a Cosworth começou a desenvolver o projeto do motor V6 turbo, juntamente com a Ford.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2500" title="Bellof_Tyrrell_012_1984_Dallas_F1" src="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bellof_tyrrell_012_1984_dallas_f1.jpg" alt="Bellof_Tyrrell_012_1984_Dallas_F1" width="655" height="423" /><em>Bellof e sua Tyrrell em 1984</em></p>
<p><strong>O renascimento</strong></p>
<p>Porém, no final da temporada de 1986, a FIA (ou ainda era FISA?) anunciou que os motores turbo seriam banidos da F1 depois da temporada de 1988. Também foi introduzido em 1987 o campeonato Jim Clark Cup e o Troféo Colin Chapman, que foi desenvolvido para as equipes que corriam com os motores aspirados naturalmente.</p>
<p>Com isso, a Cosworth foi forçada a reativar o projeto dos motores aspirados, resultando na versão DFZ, uma versão atualizada do projeto DFY. Houve um aumento na capacidade volumétrica do motor, passando para 3,5 litros. Como resultado, o motor rendia cerca de 560cv.</p>
<p>Claro que ele não era nenhuma maravilha, até porque eles tinham também seu motor turbo com a Ford. O projeto DFZ, na verdade, era uma medida temporária para a Cosworth se adaptar a nova realidade que a F1 seria a partir de 89, e foi concebido justamente para atender a demanda das equipes pequenas. March, AGS, Coloni, Lola e Larrousse utilizaram os motores DFZ.</p>
<p>Jonathan Palmer acabou vencendo o Jim Clark Cup e a Tyrrell ficou com o Troféo Colin Chapman. O motor foi usado durante toda as temporadas de 87 e 88.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2502" title="f1_198716_jonathan_palmer_01" src="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/f1_198716_jonathan_palmer_01.jpg" alt="f1_198716_jonathan_palmer_01" width="655" height="350" /><em>Palmer e sua Tyrrell 1987</em></p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2506" title="benetto nanini 1989" src="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/benetto-nanini-1989.jpg?w=300" alt="benetto nanini 1989" width="300" height="156" />Em 1987 a equipe Benetton operava juntamente com a Ford e eles queriam entrar de vez na briga pelo campeonato. Como o motor DFZ era muito ruim em comparação aos motores Honda e Renault e o turbo seria banido, o DFZ passou por profundas modificações entre 1988 e 1989, nascendo assim a versão DFR. Superficialmente, a versão DFR manteve somente o design e a arquitetura de construção do motor, 90° V8. O resto todo era novo. Dessa forma, a Benetton acabou sendo a grande beneficiada,  recebeu a versão do motor em meados de 1989 e acabou vencendo o GP do Japão daquele ano, com Alessandro Nanini. A Benetton manteve um contrato de fidelidade durante os anos de 89 e 90.</p>
<p>O motor ficou na F1 até o ano de 1991, quando os novos motores de cabeçote móvel e válvulas pneumáticas, com uma capacidade maior de rotação, deu fim aos motores DFR. A última corrida foi o GP da austrália daquele ano, com as equipes Footwork, Fondmetal, Larrousse, entre outras.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2504" title="gianni Morbidelli minardi" src="http://formulatotal.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/gianni-morbidelli-minardi.jpg" alt="gianni Morbidelli minardi" width="655" height="436" /><em>Gianni Morbidelli e sua Minardi em 1990.</em></p>
<p>Bom, por hoje encerramos a segunda parte da história da Cosworth e a série DFV e suas variações. Mais para frente falaremos dos motores Ford-Cosworth que foram utilizados na década de 90.</p>
<p>Espero que tenham gostado das informações desta segunda parte.</p>
