/ / Robert Kubica is actually a popular man, he is extremely fast, it has become very much experience with it and so would be made by a candidate for one of the top teams. But the Pole has the bad luck to all teams that are currently ahead of Renault, have no place freely. McLaren, Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes are completely resistant to deteriorate in 2011, he will also not good. His manager, Daniele Morelli, made it clear that they would remain in 2011 for lack of alternatives at Renault. But then in 2012 was a different issue.
/ / Update preview for Silverstone: McLaren will bring a major update, Mercedes screwing with increasing desperation, also new parts, and Williams is also stoking. Red Bull is, if anything changes, just little things.
/ / And then there's one message that comes as a complete surprise: The Kleine Zeitung Steiermark reports from the beautiful, flat with Bernie Ecclestone of Formula 1 on the former A1 Ring in Spielberg return - and possibly early as 2011. In the paddock at Valencia was probably time to listen to the rumor that one of the Asian race by the Austria-GP could be replaced. Whatever may be this is unclear, however. In Singapore, it has just started to ride, Korea is well - if finished in time - fix for the next few years, also India. Stay Suzuka, Shanghai and Sepang. But if you really want to sacrifice one of these runs it? Or is meant by the "Asian race" at the end of the Turkish Grand Prix? Too soon, however, no one should be happy - an F1 would return because of the strict environmental criteria for future races at Red Bull ring probably complicated .

Over the life of the contract is not known, so it must be assumed that this is only a first-year "test" is.

Motorsport total.de reported meanwhile that Ford also plans to enter the 2012 WTCC will be increasingly more specific - most recently was a delegation from the U.S. manufacturer in Zolder gwesen a guest.
/ / BMW, meanwhile, turns to matters more to the WTCC to the output. Mario Theissen has certainly shown in an interview with Autosport (print) a little excited now about the approval of the adoption of the new world engine for 2011. The official line is still, however, that you did not like any decision to stay on the show.
/ / James "Catweazle" Thompson, this year unerklärlichweise without a cockpit in the WTCC and BTCC has still found a job. He is the official BTCC test driver of the NGTC , the new squad car to the BTCC in 2011.
/ / Sky expert Marc Surer makes one of his very, very rare guest appearances as a racing driver. At the weekend he will compete in the Scirocco Cup at the Norisring.
/ / Once the road again on Sunday's NASCAR Charlotte gene is demolished. The Daytona Speedway will have a new asphalt surface , which appears in the face of the 30 old and crumbling tar urgently needed. It is hoped the renovation of two things: first, that it is finished before Christmas, on the other hand, that the "bumps" is not completely erased. In any case, Daytona in February is different.
