An extremely high humidity, high temperatures and a not insignificant chance of heavy rainfall. This we might also expect this weekend again. The positive predictions speak on Saturday from a 30% probability of rain-term, this Sunday will be as high as 60%. The pessimistic forecasts predict from Friday-Sunday with heavy rains partly heavy thunderstorms.

/ / With immediate effect, the FIA, the "engine mapping" forbidden . It means that the engine even at high speeds is when the driver releases the gas. By the exhaust gases is the subfloor, or blown on the diffuser, which in turn provides more downforce. "Engine mapping" it is because the influence teams / manufacturers, the mapping of the ECU settings in order to achieve this effect. If you can believe the rumors so benefited especially from the Red Bull new ideas. One has the well-used in the qualification, but not in the race, which could also explain the often inexplicable collapse of the team lap. In the race, you probably avoided the effect, because the engines are suffering and they consume more fuel. Renault was at times 10%, which would amount to about 10 to 15kg, you would have to carry along more of what makes any voluntary. From England then neither are the "hot", that is prohibited by exhaust diffuser in blown. (Don)

/ / Argentina and Mexico think clearly the construction of Formula 1 grade routes. In Mexico, was recently spotted Charlie Whiting on a tour of the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. He is said to have been there to tell the owners what changes to the route would be required to obtain the coveted Grade 1 license of the FIA, which allows the hosting of Formula 1 races. In Mexico is increasing again the interest in Formula 1 because with Sergio Perez is the first time in years, a Mexican in the premier class on the road - and Esteban Gutierrez, another is around the corner. Also Sauber sponsor Telmex would certainly like to see a home race. In Argentina, meanwhile, the design firm Populous has been (for the new arena section at Silverstone responsible) contract to build a completely new line near Buenos Aires, which also should be a degree-compatible. Supposedly, the Formula 1 is not the primary goal of the track operator - the web is to serve rather the development of the Argentine Motorsports (caution).

Karun Chandok # turn on the last weekend had the honor of the first laps in a Formula One on the new route in Korea. There is much speculation as to whether you will be ready in time for the race at all, and in the opinion of the videos are no doubt become even smaller. As you can see, at least one more asphalt layer, the curbs and the whole infrastructure around the track. Stands there are only at the start / finish.

The FIA, the acceptance date has been pushed far anyway in violation of its own rules to the rear wants to remove the track now finally to the 22.09.

The Monaco track record: Two spirited race in the GP2 - but the favorites are still in their own way. In whbn, Daniel Ricciardo was to prevail at last. And the SLF offered again fine racing. Too bad you will not see this coming weekend.

It could have been worse: At least nine points with Jules Bianchi takes on the two races in Monaco, just two less than the new championship leader Sergio Perez. The Frenchman offered primarily in the sprint race a great fighting spirit and had his flashes of class - but once again ranked number four and three are still not what one would have expected from the championship candidate No. 1.
