The nine year ancient son, former world champion Michael Schumacher Formula 1 participated last April 13th 2008 for his first official time in a kart race for young talented drivers between seven and eleven years in Spain, close to city Catalan Girona. The race was part of the Spanish Open RACC Kart Series, which is organized by the Association of Spanish car of the same name. RACC is comparable to the German ADAC or the British RAC. Kart Series offers ten different races in five meetings held once a month between March and August this year. The race for the Sils circuit and was the second meeting of the series. The series is scheduled for opening an opportunity for young talents to join the Formula 1 January day. The registration fee for each of the five meetings aggregate to 290 euros. These rates are not only justify the involvement, but also include the costs for the provision of go-karts, required equipment and technical support. The winner of the series a scholarship for next season. Michael started his career early kart, and his father gave him a Kettcar become the engine when he was four. Has been tested immediately on the kart track located in the neighborhood that was built in 1964. With only five years ancient, won his first title, then the youngest driver in karting in Germany. Karting, after all, no thought Michael. In fact, he hoped that his son play golf or tennis one day. Besides not wanting to expose your child to stress it can cause him: “I can not imagine my son to follow in my footsteps. If you believe in what journalists might reckon, do and do and a lot of pressure would be straight out of my shadow. This would be a heavy burden. “But after Mick already trained hard in their go-kart track in Kerpen own he could not refuse the wish of his son. Since there were one or two songs on Michael’s participation in various events in the sport last month, the family wanted to pursue a career in karting in secret as possible. For this reason, Mick started under the maiden name of his mother and was called Mick Betsch. In his first official race was accompanied by his grandfather, who is the current ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Argentina. To preserve the confidentiality of their relatives at home. Despite his talent Schumacher Jr. has received the rank of eight and ten in both races. In total, he scored 52 points, after all, a possible 70 points by winning both races. Since Mick was accompanied by several security forces drew the attention of the Spanish sports magazine journalist “AS” and has been exposed. We do not know if Mick will also participate in the last three meetings. The next race is May 25 at the Osana Circuit de Catalunya in Spain.

Are you pleased the next race in Spain? What to expect from the race? If you have no thought that the BMW team will inform the next … Overview of BMW Nick Heidfeld, German Formula One driver for the BMW Sauber racing official, said: “I was moving a lot during the break since Bahrain – Leipzig, Munich and Hinwil, in Monza for filming work, The Nurburgring Nordschleife and Barcelona for testing. Nurburgring circuit on my knees a vehicle inspection in Formula BMW. “ Heidfeld, 30, said it was a weird feeling to get back into a junior racing car, but there is no comparison between the car and the cars, which started in. He added: “I’ll drive Formula BMW, a once again the Wednesday before the Barcelona race, this time in Valencia as part of a three-pronged sporting challenge with navigator Tony Kolb and golf professional José Manuel Lara. Take a Formula One driver on the Nordschleife was an extraordinary experience. I really delight in driving the car in a unique setting – I took it for a spin on the ice of St. Moritz and now I have a few laps in the “Green Hell” as well. We must wait and see if there is more to come. “ ”Of course, all teams have used the time before the first race of the European season for development work. The Barcelona test is also vital, although the weather was pretty poor. The extensive testing here means that all drivers know the track like the back of your hand, “said Heidfeld.” The track is quick and has nice curves. The fact that now is the home race for world champion has made it much more attractive. Additional stands were built for the 2006 race, and busy. “ He noted, “Running in this environment is very excellent for all drivers, not just Fernando. The layout has been modified – the new section is less exciting but safer. I expect a excellent result for my thirty Birthday! “ Robert Kubica, the first Polish driver in Formula One, said: “I am delighted again to Europe and my goal for me to win some more points in the coming weeks. Like all Formula One teams who know the Barcelona track very well thanks to all the tests we do here. But, the circuit has been modified since last year. “ Kubica, 22, also driving for BMW Sauber, said: “The last two curves are not as quick as it was, and that will affect car set. We’ve done more testing in Barcelona during the period before this year’s race. Here, it is vital to follow the right path and find the ideal balance for the car. We have a large amount of data available to us and I reckon we can be quick from the start. “ He said: “I like the track, but I dread that the angles were a few steps away from its charm. Quick curves with high support are a pleasure in a Formula One car Now two corners at high speed has been replaced by a tight chicane that do 60 or 70 km / h. We used to hit 260 kmh in this part of the track. This change in the track, it is less fun, but safety. “ Performance Mario Theissen, BMW Motorsport Director, said: “Our performance during the first three rounds of the World Championship have given us a very excellent start to the season and used the time since the Bahrain Grand Prix to fit some intensive development work. Our opponents have certainly done the same thing, but, and the burning question is whether the balance of forces has changed accordingly. “ Theissen added: “Our goal is clear – to maintain our position as the third best team on the grid. The Circuit de Catalunya is a circuit that puts a variety of different applications in cars, and this often leads to being used as an indicator of the overall competitiveness of a team. The first race in Europe is also a second output of the season in another aspect. This is the first time in 2007 Formula One World Championship staggers their best. The trucks and hospitality facilities certainly very impressive, but mostly it has also alleviate the burden on the teams. And that is something we are all very satisfied. “ He said, “As announced, after shopping overseas, we have studied very closely to the lineup for Friday driver weekends Grand Prix. Until further notice, the two race drivers will follow for all of Friday. Barcelona see us offering fans and viewers of his second chance next year in Kuala Lumpur to visit the BMW Sauber F1 Team Pit Lane Park. Like last year, this experience High-tech Park is located in the port area, near the Ramblas in Barcelona center. “ ”The park is an emotional platform and offers visitors the entertainment value high. Nowhere fans can delight in this kind of view on the wings to touch real Formula One exhibits and witness an F1 car in spectacular action closely, “said Theissen.” The Pit Lane Park has received very well received in 2006 and attracted over 30,000 people at its debut in 2007 in Malaysia last month. I have no doubt will leave a lasting impression on all who visit one again this season. “ In the Barcelona race Rampf, technical director, said: “Barcelona is one of the most well loved test for the teams, which could lead to reckon that all cars have an automatic right set-up accordingly. The fact is, but, this course responds strongly to changes in temperature, and often the wind also has a significant impact. All this means that the runway may present a different challenge time. “ The team is putting more efforts to ensure that the joints and other parts of BMW race are in brilliant condition. The performance of cars and drivers are also monitored. “The changes in the last two curves have substantially reduced the speed of cars in this section of the circuit, which has somewhat reduced the charges which were previously very high in the left front tire,” he said Rampf. “In testing we tried various new results aerodynamic and chassis, as well as modifications to the electronics of the car – and they have given very promising. I am therefore entering the race with confidence. “ Rethinking the rules of evidence Theissen previously called for Formula One to rethink its rules of evidence on Friday to help young drivers entering the sport. Theissen said that his team are using only their race drivers in Friday practice at Grands Prix for the immediate future of the pilot test agent Sebastian Vettel. Under the revised rules, teams can only work two cars in each of two practice sessions Friday – which means they have to place aside one of their two race drivers, if you want to give a girl like Vettel Germany a chance. Theissen said the choice not to use tha phone top-rated Vettel, who took part in training on Friday and last season in the first two Grands Prix of 2007 was hard. “We sat down with the engineers a week ago and a glimpse of what we have … We concluded that it would have been more beneficial than a racing driver in the car all day,” said the Spanish Grand Prix. ”It was really a hard choice for me to do, because the restrictions this year’s event struggling to keep young drivers in Formula One more,” he said. “This is not only sufficient opportunity. You on Friday, but then a few days and test days in those with only one vehicle, so there’s really no comparison, and usually with a large program on a test . I reckon it would be excellent for next season to rethink restrictions on testing and do something for young drivers, “said Theissen.

Skoda a subsidiary of Volkswagen maker of VW Cabrio parts is going to join the second Le Mans Series event that will be held Valencia, Spain. The Skoda Charouz Racing System-Lola/Judd team will appear this weekend in Valencia, Spain. For the second Le Mans Series event it will be raced by trio Jan Charouz, Stefan Mucke, and Alex Yoong. The crew believes that this time they will prove the car’s immense power just like what it showed in the first race in Monza, where the LolaB07/17 Judd factory vied for podium.

Unfortunately for the team their April chances were crushed by gearbox failure. The technical distress is unlikely to reappear despite of the efforts given by Lola’s engineers in sorting out the construction problem. One of the highlights at the opening of the LMS race was the power of the vehicle painted in Czech tricolor. The factory Peugeots 908 was the only one found quicker than the Charouz and Mucke.

The second race which will last for six hours will also measure 1000 kilometers and if in the Malaysian F1 the ex-pilot Alex Yoong was missing, in Monza the team will be complete. The coming race will also be a fantastic chance for the Skoda Charouz team to prepare for the peak of the season which the well-known June marathon 24 Hours Le Mans.

The Mücke’s start is still uncertain, but the Berliner figured it out amazingly. During the day, he what he will do is to make it to both FIA Grand Turismo in Silverstone and the Spanish six-hour race. And together with a few other drivers he will avail of the charter flight between the British and Spanish circuits. He will then launch the Lamborghini Murcielago into the two-hour race transferred the wheel to compatriot Frank Biela and take off for Valencia where he is expected to drive the final part of the six hours.

The Valencia race is a wider competition than Monza as a matter of fact at least 46 cars enrolled for the race of which 23 are sport prototypes. The Czech Lola/Jud belongs in the elite LMP1 class. For this coming race there will be two experienced and quick crews that skipped the Italian opening that will be joining: Swiss team Swiss Spirit (Deletraz, Fässler, Alexander-David) and British team Arena (Johansson, Shimoda). The Valencia race will be broadcasted by Czech TV channel Galaxie Sport in a series of live and record programs (12. 55-13. 50, 15. 55-16. 50 a 19. 10-20. 05).

The Spanish racetracks could lose the hosting of two future Formula 1 championship races as a result of the racist insults Lewis Hamilton received from some fans during a test session this past weekend. The FIA informed on Monday that the foul language against Hamilton at the Barcelona’s circuit, the first F1 black driver could end in sanctions.

According to the FIA’s regulation, the punishment may include the races’ recoil from the Grand Prix calendar. The Spanish Grand Prix is scheduled for next April 27th at Montmeló, the circuit where the incidents took place. Meantime, this year the Spanish country also receives the Europe Grand Prix, which takes place on August 24th in Valencia.

“We are going to send a letter to Spain’s national sports authorities to determine what happened that weekend and based on that report we will choose what measures to take”, declared Monday the FIA. “The Formula 1 is a multicultural global sport. . . No episodes have existed similar to this in its history and we do not want them to repeat”.

The 23-years-ancient Hamilton was booed and insulted each time his car was transferred toward the pits zone on Saturday. In his rookie season, in 2007, Hamilton remained second in the drivers’ championship.

The incident focused at the group of fans who were dressed with wigs and black undershirts, which had stamped the phrase “Family of Hamilton”. The Montmeló circuit administrators condemned the racist insults and did not rule out to take legal measures. They advised “they will not allow the smallest incident to take place at their locations and new measures are already being studied to be established for the last trainings”.

“The certain thing is that I feel somewhat sad, I like this country and especially the city of Barcelona and its circuit, which is one of my three favourites”, declared Hamiltom.

Hamilton believes the incident was due to last year’s situation between him and Fernando Alonso, which prevented the Spaniard driver from winning his third consecutive F1 title, therefore Alonso switched teams and he is currently Renault’s main driver.

“I wanted that (the Spaniard fans) know my situation”, indicated Hamilton. “The unique thing I have done is to try to do the best and win the championship. In no possible way I wanted to deliberate affect Fernando, but this quarrel certainly affects my image in Spain”.

On the other hand, the F1 team McLaren tried to reduce importance to the incidents. “McLaren has been participated in the Spanish circuits for many years and everyone involved in the team, including Lewis, keep fantastic respect to Spain and to the Spanish town”, affirmed the motor-racing team, according to a press release.

Are you thrilled about the upcoming Spain race? What do you expect from the race? If you have got no thought, let the BMW team enlighten you of the forthcoming…

BMW’s preview

Nick Heidfeld, the German Formula One auto racing driver for the BMW Sauber factory team, said: “I’ve been on the go a lot during the break since Bahrain – in Leipzig, Munich and Hinwil, in Monza for filming work, at the Nurburgring Nordschleife and in Barcelona for the test. At the Nurburgring I did my inspection lap in a Formula BMW car. ”

Heidfeld, 30, noted that it was a amusing feeling getting back into a junior racing car, but there is no comparison between the car and the single-seaters he started out in. He added, “I’ll be at the wheel of the Formula BMW car once again on the Wednesday before the Barcelona race, this time in Valencia as part of a three-pronged sporting challenge with yachtsman Tony Kolb and golf pro Jose Manuel Lara. Taking a Formula One racer out on the Nordschleife was an extraordinary experience. I very much delight in driving the car in unusual surroundings – I took it for a spin on the ice of St Moritz and now I’ve place in a few laps at the ‘Green Hell’ as well. We’ll have to wait and see if there’s more to come. ”

“Of course, all the teams have used the time leading up to the first race of the European season for development work. The test in Barcelona was also vital, although the weather was pretty poor. The extensive testing carried out here means that all the drivers know the track like the back of their hand,” Heidfeld continued. “It’s a quick circuit and has some nice corners. The fact that this is now the home GP for the world champion has made it much more attractive. Additional grandstands were built for the 2006 race, and they filled up as well. ”

He noted, “Racing in this kind of atmosphere is fantastic for all the drivers, not only Fernando. The track layout has been modified – the new section is less exciting, but safer. Now I’m hoping for another excellent result for my 30th birthday!”

Robert Kubica, the first Polish Formula One racing driver, said “I’m looking forward to getting started in Europe again and am aiming to earn myself a few more points in the coming weeks. Like all the Formula One teams we know the Barcelona track very well thanks to all the testing we do here. But, the circuit has been changed since last year. ”

Kubica, 22, also driving for BMW Sauber, added: “The last two corners are not as quick as they used to be, and that will affect car set-up. We have done some more testing in Barcelona in the lead-up to this year’s race. Here, it was vital to go the right way and find the ideal balance for the car. We have a lot of data at our disposal and I reckon we can be quick from the start. ”

He noted, “I like the track, but I’m worried that the new corners have taken away some of its charm. Quick corners with high downforce are a real treat in a Formula One car. But now the two high-speed corners have been replaced by a tight chicane, where you are only doing 60 or 70 km/h. We used to hit 260 km/h through that part of the track. This change to the track means less fun, but greater safety. ”

The performance

Mario Theissen, the BMW Motorsport Director, has this to say: “Our performances in the first three rounds of the World Championship have given us a very excellent start to the season and we have used the time since the Bahrain Grand Prix to fit in some intensive development work. Our rivals will certainly have been doing much the same, though, and the burning question is whether the balance of power has shifted as a result. ”

Theissen added, “Our aim is very clear – to maintain our position as the third-best team on the grid. The Circuit de Catalunya is a circuit which places a variety of different demands on the cars, and this has often resulted in it being used as a gauge of a team’s overall competitiveness. The first race back in Europe is also like a second start to the season in another respect. This is the first time in 2007 that the Formula One World Championship will be reeling out its full regalia. The trucks and hospitality facilities certainly look very impressive, but more importantly they also lighten the workload on the teams. And that’s something we’re all very pleased about. ”

He stressed, “As announced, following the overseas races we have been looking closely at the driver line-up for the Friday of the GP weekends. Until further notice, the two race drivers will be on track for the whole of Friday. Barcelona will see us offering fans and spectators their second opportunity of the year after Kuala Lumpur to visit the BMW Sauber F1 Team Pit Lane Park. Like last year, this high-tech experience park will be set up in the portside area, near the Ramblas in the centre of Barcelona. ”

“The Park is an emotional platform and offers visitors high entertainment value. Nowhere else can the fans delight in this kind of unobstructed glimpse behind the scenes, reach out and touch real Formula One exhibits and witness an F1 car in spectacular action at close quarters,” Theissen added. “The Pit Lane Park was given a very excellent reception in 2006 and attracted over 30,000 people to its 2007 debut in Malaysia last month. I am in no doubt that it will leave a lasting impression with everybody who visits it again this season. ”

On the Barcelona race

Willy Rampf, the Technical Director of the team, said: “Barcelona is one of the most well loved testing venues for the teams, which might lead you to reckon that all the cars will automatically have a excellent set-up as a result. The fact is, but, that this course reacts very strongly to fluctuations in temperature, and often the wind also has a huge impact. All of which means that the track can present a different challenge time after time. ”

The team is exerting more effort to ensure that BMW ball joints and other race parts are in brilliant condition. The performance of both the cars and drivers also are monitored. “The modifications to the last two corners have significantly decreased the speed of the cars through this section of the circuit, and this has somewhat reduced the previously very high loads on the left front tyre,” Rampf concluded. “In testing we tried out various new aerodynamics and chassis components, as well as modifications to the car’s electronics – and these have yielded very promising results. I’m, therefore, approaching the race in confident mood. ”

Re-thinking testing rules

Theissen earlier called for Formula One to re-reckon its testing regulations on Friday to help young drivers come into the sport. Theissen said that his team would use only their regular race drivers in Friday practice at race weekends for the immediate future rather than official test driver Sebastian Vettel. Under the revised rules, teams can only run two cars in each of Friday’s two practice sessions – meaning that they have to sideline one of their two race drivers if they want to give a youngster like Germany’s Vettel a chance.

Theissen said tha tthe choice not to use the highly-rated Vettel, who took part in Friday practice last season and in the opening two race weekends of 2007, had been a tough one to take. “We sat down with the engineers a week ago and had a look at what we had achieved. . . we came to the conclusion that it would have been more beneficial to have the race driver in the car for the entire day,” he said at the Spanish Grand Prix.

“It was really a tough choice for me to take because with this year’s test restrictions you can hardly bring a young driver up to Formula One any more,” he added. “There is just not enough opportunity. You have the Friday but then only a few days testing and those days only with one car so there is really no comparison and we normally have a huge programme at a test. So I reckon it would be excellent for next season to rethink the test restrictions and do something for young drivers,” Theissen said.

As the Formula 1 procession finally reached its first European leg, merchandise producers, sponsors and fans will have been extremely pleased with what was an extremely exciting weekend in Spain; sadly for the incorrect reasons. Ferrari’s premier driver, Kimi Raikkonen managed to convert his pole position into a race win in what can only be described as a race of attrition. The Finnish driver was the eighth consecutive driver to convert a pole to a win in Spain; seemingly the Circuit de Catalunya is a race that is predominantly won by those who achieve the best time in qualifying.
The Iceman, the name given to the machine-like driver from Finland managed to cope easily with two race car periods, shaking off any challenge from team-mate Felipe Massa and rival Lewis Hamilton. The weekend saw Ferrari dominate, much as they had expected to; a fact that team sponsors and merchandise suppliers will be pleased about. Main rivals McLaren were not able to compete with the pace of the Ferrari cars in either qualifying or during the race, something that will be worrying McLaren’s team boss, Ron Dennis.
McLaren sponsors, merchandise producers and fans will not be completely disheartened but; Lewis Hamilton, despite qualifying in fifth managed to convert this mediocre placing into a podium position at the end of the race. After two nightmare Formula 1 weekends for Hamilton in Malaysia and Bahrain, this return to form will be comforting, the question still remains but if the McLaren will be quick enough to match the pace of the seemingly unbeatable car from Modena. Currently the driver standings have Raikkonen leading the championship by nine points over rival Hamilton, as the procession moves on to Turkey, the British team will be undergoing further strategic changes to compete with Ferrari.
The major talking point of the weekend but was not the racing. Heikki Kovalainen, McLaren’s other driver experienced a malfunction at approximately one hundred and eighty miles and hour causing him to career into the tyre wall at an estimated one hundred and forty miles an hour. The driver’s merchandise suppliers, sponsors and fans may have been worried that this huge crash could have ruined Heikki’s season. Fortunately the brilliant safety systems in his car undoubtedly saved his life. Despite being carried away on a stretcher and taken to a nearby hospital, reports state that he has been released after precautionary checks were made. Amazingly the modern Formula 1 driver can crash at nearly 150 mph and endure nothing more than slight whiplash and a headache.
The crash naturally lead to the safety car being deployed as the clean up operation was commenced. This seriously affected Nick Heidfeld’s race as he had only just taken the lead and as he had to pit while the safety car was still out. As a result, the penalty that he was forced to take meant losing what could have been a high placed end. The German’s fan base, sponsors and merchandise suppliers will have been somewhat upset by the development, so far this year he has place in some decent performances and currently stands fifth in the championship. But these things happen in Formula 1, Hamilton had experienced similar occurrences of misfortune in the past and seemingly this terrible fortune is just passed around the Formula 1 teams.
After a race that will be remembered more for the crash of Kovalainen rather than an outstanding driving performance from Raikkonen, merchandise producers, team backers and sponsors will be hoping for more exemplary racing in Turkey. Despite being in a slower car, Hamilton arguably had the best race, it is clear that the effortless control of the Ferrari is paying dividends while the rest of the pack struggle to keep all four wheels on the track. In the heat of Turkey the Formula 1 fraternity will be hoping for more exciting racing, and a high level of driver skill.

As the Formula 1 procession finally reached their first European level, commodity producers, sponsors and fans have been very satisfied with what has been a very exciting weekend in Spain, unfortunately for the incorrect reasons. Main Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen has managed to turn his pole position into victory in what can only be described as a race of attrition. The Finnish driver was the eighth consecutive year to a pole to victory in Spain, in appearance at the Circuit de Catalunya is a race that is mostly earned by those who achieve the fastest time in qualifying. The Iceman, the name given to the machine Finn could easily cope with two periods of the car, shaking any challenge from teammate Massa and Lewis Hamilton, Felipe rival. The weekend saw Ferrari dominate, just as expected, a fact that the team sponsors and suppliers of goods will be pleased. McLaren’s main rivals have been unable to compete with the pace of Ferrari in qualifying or the race, something that will worry the McLaren chief Ron Dennis, team boss. McLaren sponsors, producers of goods and the fans will not be completely discouraged, but, Lewis Hamilton, despite qualifying on the fifth managed to turn this poor start in a place on the podium at the end of the race. After two weekends of nightmare for Hamilton Formula 1 to Malaysia and Bahrain, this is heartening return to form, the question remains, but, whether the McLaren will be quick enough to keep pace with the car seemingly invincible Modena. Currently, the championship Raikkonen leads the championship with nine points over his rival, Hamilton, as the procession to Turkey, the British team will be further policy changes to compete with Ferrari. The most vital point on the weekend but, was not the competition. Heikki Kovalainen, McLaren’s other driver suffered a failure in approximately one hundred eighty miles and hours that caused the run on the wall of tires on an estimated one hundred forty miles per hour. The pilot of suppliers of goods, sponsors and fans may dread that this accident could have ruined Heikki fantastic season. Fortunately, brilliant security systems in your car, without doubt, saved his life. Despite being transported on a stretcher and taken to a nearby hospital, the reports state that was released after precautionary checks were made. Surprisingly modern F1 driver can hit nearly 150 km / h and withstand anything more than mild whiplash and headaches. The accident led naturally to the safety car being deployed as cleaning started. This seriously affected Nick Heidfeld as he had taken the initiative and as he had to pit while the safety car was still outside. Accordingly, the sentence has been forced to take meant losing what could have been finished to a high position. The basis of German fans, sponsors and suppliers of goods were a bit annoyed by the development so far this year has some decent performance and is currently fifth in the championship. But these things happen in Formula 1, Hamilton had experienced similar situations of misfortune in the past and, apparently, spending all this terrible luck Formula 1 teams. After a career that will be remembered most in case of accident rather than Kovalainen outstanding performance in the car Raikkonen, producers of goods, the team’s fans and sponsors would duplicate several races in Turkey.
