Hembery not fearing for Pirelli’s reputation
Pirelli Motorsport Director Paul Hembery has categorically stated that the Milan-based company is not worrying for its reputation this season, with the supplier having been asked to develop rapidly degrading products to encourage more dramatic races.
Heading towards Australia, the new PZero rubber is expected to last for a maximum of 15 laps, with its degradation rate being both steep and rapid. However, Hembery does not believe that this will reflect badly on Pirelli.
“We have to communicate very clearly our priorities and objectives in Formula 1, which is to fulfil the brief handed to us by FOM and FOTA to promote overtaking,” the Englishman explained to GrandChelem.it.
“Because of that we have constructed a tyre that is designed to last for about 100 kilometres (62 miles), which should lead to two pit-stops per race on average. Naturally, that doesn’t mean that we’re not capable of building a tyre that will last a whole race or even five or six races – in fact, it would be considerably easier to do so.
“Instead, we want to do something to help the show a bit, but we need to make it clear that the wear characteristics of these F1 tyres are completely different to those of our road car tyres because they are built to do two entirely different jobs. It’s like comparing mozzarella cheese to parmesan and we are very clear about this.” |

bezanya team yg nak driver tue kena bayar pampasan...
katalah kontrak vettel setahun 10 juta...
dan ferrari nak ambik vettel jadi driver dorang dan vettel ada baki kontrak 3 tahun...
jadi ferrari kena bayar 30 juta kat RBR kan?

Official: Individual colours for each tyre compound
As expected, new Formula 1 tyre supplier Pirelli has confirmed that it will be using varying colours for each compound of tyre it produces this year, meaning the days of green stripes are now gone following Bridgestone’s departure.
Once again - with the exception of a wet race - drivers are required to run the two types of dry weather, Slick compound tyre taken to each Grand Prix, with the couple being any of the following quartet: Hard, Medium, Soft or Super Soft.
For 2011, each compound can be identified by the colours of the Pirelli PZero markings on the tyres’ sidewalls.
Pirelli’s 2011 tyre coding is as follows:
Hard Slick Silver
Medium Slick White
Soft Slick Yellow
Super Soft Slick Red
----------------------------------------
Intermediate Light Blue
Wet Orange |

Where teams stand heading into the 2011 season
The Formula 1 teams have been saying all winter that testing means nothing and the form is impossible to predict, and with fuel load and tyre changes causing such dramatic variation in pace that cars' times were fluctuating by 10s depending what specification they were in, it was a valid point.
But by the end of testing it was becoming clear who was showing their hand and who wasn't, who had the outright pace and who was floundering – and who was most often coming home on the back of a truck...
Here's ITV.com/formula1’s summary of where they all stand after testing, starting with the 'big five' squads on the grid.
Red Bull: The team to beat
Last winter, the Red Bull looked like it might be spectacularly fast, but there was an air of fragility about everything: the team missed the first test, and had no shortage of breakages when they did run.
With the reassuring boost of a world title under their belt, Red Bull Racing started 2011 in much more confident form.
Sebastian Vettel was quickest on the opening day of winter running, but after that RBR kept things low-key for test after test, sticking to heavy fuel running – and setting some ominously quick race times.
Then in the final days at Catalunya, they showed their hand with some blistering laps that proved the RB7 will be the car to beat.
But the really ominous thing for the rest of the field was that Red Bull's progress was serene pretty much throughout the winter.
It was reliability that held Red Bull back in 2010, not speed, and if they've made their new car bullet-proof without taking the edge off its pace, then everyone else has good cause to be afraid.
McLaren: A step into the unknown
Martin Whitmarsh admitted that in trying to push their technical imaginations to the limit with their 2011 car, McLaren had perhaps gone too far.
That means a major 11th-hour change of plan, with an 'extreme' exhaust system replaced with a more conventional version and a new floor created in the gap between the final test and Melbourne.
Those are huge changes to take to the first race untested, but McLaren felt they had no other option.
The radical and intriguing MP4-26 was rarely on the pace in testing and all too often back in the garage following yet another technical failure.
McLaren are determined to avoid a repeat of 2009, when the car started the year as one of the slowest in the field – and though it was winning by mid-summer, that was far too late for a title challenge.
Such a drastic design overhaul on the eve of the first round is not ideal, but Whitmarsh is bullish and believes the revised car will be a second quicker.
Judging from testing, the 'original' McLaren would've struggled to scrape into the top 10 and almost certainly retired from the race, so this bold move was in some ways a no-brainer.
Ferrari: The stalking horse
When Ferrari's new car was unveiled, it seemed to lack the innovation and imagination of many rivals.
While others were pushing the envelope, Ferrari looked like they had photocopied last year's car...
But maybe that wasn't such a bad idea. The 2011 Ferrari has pounded round almost flawlessly through winter testing, showing outstanding reliability and hinting that it is Red Bull's closest challenger on pure pace.
When teams started showing their hand with low-fuel runs late in testing, Ferrari didn't quite grab the headlines as others did, but on heavier-fuel stints, the Italian cars look like the only ones that could keep Red Bull on their toes.
Mercedes: Zero to hero already
Either Ross Brawn played an absolute blinder with his winter strategy, or Mercedes really were in deep trouble but produced a stunning turnaround.
In the earlier tests the silver cars were nowhere, but Brawn kept maintaining that Mercedes were starting with a deliberately basic machine to sort reliability and tyre affinity before bringing in the definitive 2011 package on the eve of the new season.
It was the penultimate day of testing before all the new parts made it onto the car – but then it absolutely flew.
What we didn't get a chance to see properly was how it might fare in race trim, but we do know that it's possible to wring a super-quick lap out of the W02 in qualifying conditions.
So did Brawn have a massive improvement package up his sleeve all along, or did Mercedes start off disastrously and then very rapidly find development solutions?
Either way, they've gone from being likely midfielders to podium contenders.
Renault: What might have been
Renault have faded from the limelight since startling and baffling the F1 world with their forward-exiting exhaust system at the first test – and then demonstrating that it worked rather well as Robert Kubica flew.
The Pole's horrific rallying accident a few days later was a catastrophic blow to Renault.
Nick Heidfeld proved at BMW that he can often be a match for Kubica, but most are convinced that it's the latter who has the world champion potential – plus he was already thoroughly settled in at the team, whereas supersub Heidfeld is only just finding his feet.
There haven't been any headline-grabbing times since Heidfeld's ultra-rapid audition either, and reliability issues kept getting in the way in testing.
It's sad to say that expectations for the team have fallen from shock title contender to possible podium challenger, but they may yet surprise. |
