Formula One - Kovalainen is a good choice? / A1 - Zuhai - / Race of Champions

Update: basic, has found a livestream for the complete transfer of the RoC. Thank you!
Not http://www.eurosport.fr/mclivevideo.shtml. Until an hour ago it was still in the program, not now. Too bad look. Request in the comments.


Formula One - McLaren again Finnish
I admit to you that I was somewhat surprised yesterday that McLaren has won the Finn Kovalainen as a replacement for Alonso to the team. I had expected de la Rosa and Sutil, but not with the Finns. What was also because I was not convinced that Kovalainen this year. After one year already a test driver for Renault, he was moved to the start of last season on the race team. But the first half of the season was more than disappointing, it was ironed regelmßig of Fisichella. Only toward the end of the season, he was able to increase, even here he did not fall on me especially. He was most discreet way and there was hardly spectacular pictures of him sehen.Warum McLaren has therefore taken the Finns? Probably because he was the best solution. It has also apparently thinks Adrian Sutil to commit, but the course would like to in a top team to prove its strength. This would have to have a similar situation as this year, when Hamilton attacked the team leader Alonso. Pedro de la Rosa is not bad, but in a direct duel the Finn might still be a little faster. To the one at McLaren has known a long tradition of Finnish racers. With Kovalainen will probably be determined by contract as a precaution, he's a number two driver, so you can concentrate fully on Hamilton in the new year.

Whether it's a good idea, however, lay the young Hamilton, the entire responsibility on the shoulders? This year, may all have been very pretty, but as it was called simply "The team against Alonso". In 2008 he will look at all the mechanics eager expectations before going into the race and, accordingly, the view will be when things are not going so well.

A nice situation for Kovalainen, who must remain behind Hamilton and allowed to start without the high expectations in his race. How hectic was the commitment, you can see in the photo. Apparently you have not even had time to adapt to the Finns, the McLaren Klmaotten.

A1 - Zuhai
Zhuhai was built in 1996 and 1999 by Hermann Tielke immediately rebuilt. We can already see the layout clearly that it is a journey is, at the rumgefummelt Tielke has, as he has not had as much experience when it comes to routing. From her driving skills, the track is a bit dull. Short straight, hairpin, short straight, hairpin. The two fast kinks, which are installed, should constitute no problem for the A1.

So far, the race of the A1 this year were very diverse. Even at the Sepang circuit rather boring it was, thanks to an adrenaline wading knee-deep in Michael Ammermüller good thing too. It might be worthwhile to look at the race, despite the early time (07.45 clock on Saturday). Well it is the last live race of the year.

In the A1, it is always hard to say who might be ahead. This year, the Swiss seem to be well on the road, while the Germans, New Zealanders and the English more problems. In China, one should not underestimate the home team, even if not one of the best pilots Cheng in the field belongs.

Race of Champions
Well, the ROC is not really a "race". It's more of a fun event with many celebrities. Years ago rödelte you around on Gran Canaria, which was nice for the drivers, but the audience is not really interested. Then we moved the matter to a Paris soccer stadium and since then rocks the event. Of course you can build a stadium in any reasonable way. More than a small, tight Carrera track you just can not go. Beautiful it is, but it is supposed to do first and foremost fun. The start list this year looks like this:

Team England
Jenson Button and Andy Priaulx

Scotland team
David Coulthard and Alister McRae

Team Germany
Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel

Team USA
Jimmie Johnson and Travis Pastarana

Team France
Sébastien Bourdais and Yvan Muller

Team Scandinavia
Tom Kristensen and Mattias Ekstrom

Team Finland
Heikki Kovalainen and Marcus Ekström

Team Norway
Hennig Solberg &

The thing is more than well-staffed, even if the English would like to see Lewis Hamilton in the RoC. But you can not have everything now. Identify a favorite is not important anyway, in the team standings, one should expect Germany but among the top three. In the championship the matter is open. Last year, Mattias Ekström was ironing the WRC world champion Loeb in the WRC car.

A little annoying: Sky Sport 2 During the entire event live shows and even "Al Jazeera Sports," the Nations Cup in the afternoon transfers complete Database rises, euro sports only at 18.00 clock in the event. A live audio stream I have not been able to discover.

    What bothers me most is U.S. € sports, the fact that they show exactly the same stuff as on ARD and ZDF, and still in 4:3. Okay, the commentators are better at sports to € worlds, but if Michael Schumacher moves, you should show all of it live, even the stool was :) lol just kidding, but the ROC simply are only 1x a year, since one could also make time ago ...

    PS: Where the hell is actually the stock car racing crash in Paris Bercy go? And the go-kart racing? And the F3 race in Macau had se this year was also the # 1 nicht.Wie with motor sports channel? Probably only for people with dvb-t :)
