On the eve of Fernando Alonso with optimism assessed the results of the first day of the first test at Mugello for the team Ferrari. On Wednesday, the Spaniard changed behind the wheel of Felipe Massa and too pleased. According to the rider, until tested yet not all the news, but also available, should be enough to qualify for the output of the full membership of the final of qualification on the upcoming Grand Prix of Spain.

In this case, however, the Vice-champion of the world has recognized, that any progress has its limits, and to talk about the struggle for the victory still too early. Felipe overcame the day 106 circles, giving 0,654 second best time of the session.

"The result of double start, the Ferrari of the top ten is quite possible to expect. While we don't even have time to test all novelties of the " let's see in Barcelona, as they will show themselves and how useful would be, " said Massa. - Then we can give a more realistic estimate, but I have no doubt that in such an outcome is quite possible to expect".

The Italian team is counting to reduce the gap from the rivals, and the Weight is also not ready to give up their own ambitions "To catch up, need to improve faster than the competition, which do not stand on the spot. During the three weeks of the car, as a rule, dropping from the time of the round two-three-tenths, so that he requires us a very serious step forward.

It is clear, that to speak of the victories of the still early, but until all the new elements that have been tested, changed the situation to the better. It is difficult to judge about the details of which we are not even checked - and all the same, I hope we will be able to catch up with rivals and start winning, even if it sounds too optimistic".

According to Felipe, the team will receive the next novelties are already on Wednesday evening, on the approach and the next batch of modified parts "Always nice to work with modern elements, but my program was generally similar to the one at which worked yesterday Fernando. I spent a comparison of the two exhaust systems. Tonight will bring other new products, we will do tomorrow. But that's not all, so as to Barcelona will be ready to have some improvements".

.

In Marussia rely on the final day of the.

On the second day of tests in the Marussia F1 Team shared the program between the two pilots. In the morning behind the wheel sat Charles Peak - the Frenchman passed 46 circles, working with the engineers on the testing of new products and a detailed study of the behavior of the front suspension, but after the break it was replaced by Timo Glock. The German had to stay in boxes, while the mechanics of the changed power steering, so that he drove only 37 circles.

Charles Pic "Already in the morning it was dry, so we were able to do a lot by working on a program developed by the team. First, the pavement was wet, but as the temperature of the situation improved. I am satisfied with the selected direction of the work, as a result were able to collect information about the behavior of a machine, and prepared by a team of novelties allowed to make a step forward.

My program participation in tests on the completed, but I'll stay on the track in the final day of the tests, but I still need to learn a lot about the behavior of a machine, in order to better prepare for the weekend in Barcelona".

Timo Glock "problems cost me losing half of the session. Had to adapt quickly to the highway, which was difficult because of the abundance of the "blind" turns. In the last hour and a half managed to work with the settings, which I was quite happy. I hope tomorrow will be no problems".

John Booth, head of the team "If to speak about positive moments, then today we saw the obvious signs, testifying to the fact that the innovations have allowed us to make a step forward, but it is very a pity, that the arisen problems prevented achieve more.

Yesterday we were also unable to much to do, however, like other commands, and today Charles unable to perform a large part of his program. I hope, tomorrow we can drive greater distance and as well as possible to prepare for the opening of an integrated updating of the machine in Barcelona".

Tomorrow Timo Glock will complete tests Marussia F1 Team in Mugello.

Senna Command not bad prepared for tomorrow

On the second day of tests at Mugello driving for Williams FW34 worked Bruno Senna, spending long series of circles and assessing the effectiveness of aerodynamics.

Mark Gillan, chief engineer "the Second day was a very tight Bruno has almost the entire program, which is scheduled for today.

We conducted a detailed assessment of the aerodynamic and mechanical configuration of the machine and got a lot of information. The weather forecast for tomorrow promises to good weather, so we hope to be not less than to work productively and on Thursday".

Bruno Senna "good Day, without incident. We have collected a lot of information, and is well prepared for tomorrow. Our goal is to continue to progress and be competitive in the final day of the test. Mugello is a great track, very fast, and the drivers are experiencing here, considerable physical loads".

3-th of may on the tests will run Pastor Maldonado.

"it is Nice to finish the day on the first line of"

Roman completed a busy day of tests on the first line of the Protocol and was satisfied with the result, although acknowledged that it should not be overestimated.

Roman "it is Nice to finish the day on the first line of the Protocol, but we should not forget that the results of the tests are not of importance. But all the same, the machine looks gorgeous, and I from the very beginning was comfortable behind the wheel.

Now we have the opportunity to do what we do not have time to do during the race weekend, so I hope that the tests will help the team to achieve progress. Today we have worked a lot with the settings, it will require some time for the analysis of the information. In addition, you need to understand on what we should concentrate tomorrow. We have a good basis before the final day of tests".

Alan , racing Director "Yesterday the E20 was piloted by Jerome D Ambrosio, so we have a little changed the balance of the machine, to adapt it to the requirements of the Novel . He immediately liked her behavior, so we quickly got to work.

Today we tested different suspension settings, so during the lunch break made some serious changes - this work took a couple of hours. Roman gathered a lot of data, which we should examine, in order to decide how to build tomorrow's work.

This track suits our car. As in the race weekend, we have worked a lot with full and half-empty tanks, to analyze the impact of changes in the settings of the suspension on the behavior of the E20, and happy with the result. In General, a good day".

Mark Webber the Tests at Mugello very useful

On Wednesday morning behind the wheel of a car RB8 worked mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel have changed it in the second half of the day, and the team Red Bull Racing able to fully execute the program.

Mark start with the fact that tested a number of elements, which could not be completed yesterday because of bad weather, paying the main attention to the aerodynamic aspects, as well as searching for the optimal settings.

Mark Webber "Finally, today circuit dry, the weather has improved, that allowed us to drive a lot of circles. The program is very intensive, but as long as we are in the chart. I am pleased to once again get behind the wheel since we have a minimum of opportunities for training, however, I believe that these tests are very useful.

I think, in Barcelona our car, mainly, will be in a familiar and proven configurations, but some of the details, no doubt, will be changed".

During the day interval between the sessions of the team worked hard to prepare the machine for Sebastian Vettel, who in the second session drove 64 round, during which there have been aerodynamic testing.

Sebastian Vettel "I am delighted that we are working on the tests at Mugello. It is a pity only, this circuit is not included in the calendar of the championship. Incredible track with a large number of high-speed turns, where you really can feel the force. As soon as we manage to find the right rhythm, riding on it gives a real pleasure.

We are to drive a lot of circles, to evaluate the effectiveness of a large number of parts, as already tried and tested, and those which, perhaps, we will use in the future. It is very important after the completion of these tests are all carefully analyze, to thoroughly understand the behavior of the car on the highway."

.

Sebastian Vettel We have much to do

After the end of the second day of tests at Mugello the current world champion Sebastian Vettel told reporters that the team is still much to do to regularly fight for the victory of the season.

Sebastian Vettel "it was Great that we managed to win the last race, but we understand how serious work to be done, to continue to fight for the victory. We are engaged in the decision of this problem in a test - need to travel a great distance, to deal with those decisions, which we tested in the course of the season, but even more important to determine the direction of further development of the machine after analysis of the data collected.

Talk about the domination of the more impossible, in the four previous Grand Prix we have only one victory. However, at all stages, we have been competitive - not enough to fight for the first place, but also yielded not so much. We can be satisfied with what could be achieved, but want more, which is why so seriously working on the tests with the novelties, which should increase the efficiency of the machine".

Di Resta I Hope that tomorrow we will be able to work on the track

The second day of the tests, the Force India again failed to fully work on the track. Yesterday prevented from adverse weather conditions, today - the problems with reliability. In total, Paul di Resta drove 14 laps and will continue to work in the first half of the last day of the test.

Paul di Resta "Today we have had some problems, because of which I spent a lot of time in the pits. As a result we could not perform a large part of the program. Before lunch, the team spent a lot of time on the replacement of the different parts, so I was able to leave only the latest of a series of circles in the end of the day. Always want to spend more time behind the wheel, but it does happen. I hope that tomorrow we will be able to fully work on the road, run the program and collect information that we need."

Jacob Andreasen, chief engineer "it's a Shame to spend as much time at the boxes, but today we have had some problems with the reliability, which is necessary to solve, before we continue to work on the track. It seemed to us that the problem was related to hydraulics, so as a precaution, the team decided to replace the system. In addition, we devoted the most part of the forced break the replacement of the engine, which had been scheduled for the end of the session.

Today the mechanics was a tough day, but they are perfectly coped with the task, so that Paul had time to work on the road in the last half an hour and drive a few laps, preparing for the big day tomorrow. Since di Resta drove a little distance, he will continue its work tomorrow morning, and after dinner he would be replaced by Nico ".

Michael Schumacher for the Sake of the novelties of the cost to come for tests

On the second day of tests at Mugello behind the wheel of a Mercedes F1 W03 sat Michael Schumacher. If yesterday he failed to fully work, but today he drove the greatest distance of the day - 144 a circle, more than 750 kilometers.

Michael Schumacher "In my career I have traveled many miles on this beautiful circuit, today I managed to slightly increase this distance. Unlike yesterday, we managed to create really large amount of information and even better study the behavior of the machine.

In addition, we tested some of the new decision not want to go into details, but for the sake of their cost to come to the tests in this phase of the season. I'm really happy with how the team and our machine worked today, we laid a good basis for the successful holding of the final day of the test".

Tomorrow tests Mercedes complete Nico Rosberg.

Petrov "there is No doubt that we are moving in the right direction"

On the second day of the may tests on the Italian highway Mugello pilot Caterham Vitaly Petrov was the second by distance. Russian overcame 112 circles, the fastest of which was 53 th on the account. Shown them time it turned out to 2.7 seconds worse than the first result environment, but the team were satisfied with the work done and the fact, as shown themselves novelties.

Vitaly Petrov "With Mugello I have linked the great memories, on this route, I won, speaking in Formula 3000, so nice to return here. I'm not sure that this ring is suitable for modern machines F1 - sometimes you are very close to the wall, here is a little bit small. But in General, the drive is a good circle - this is an interesting and, at the same time, the complex task.

I think we can be satisfied with what could today to achieve. Throughout the day the machine worked reliably, which allowed to fully implement the program. After lunch, we checked out a couple of new items, and although it is still early to judge how serious step forward they are allowed to do, I can say that with the upgraded rear wing, immediately had the feeling that the presser force was much more.

Improved and the balance of the machine, so there is no doubt that we are moving in the right direction. I hope tomorrow will look like, this will allow us to advance even further, to then continue racing season on the Grand Prix of Spain."

Jody , chief engineer "the Second day in Mugello was successful for the team. Weather perceptibly improved, and Vitaly unable to move 112 rounds, it has allowed us to catch up because of the yesterday's rain time. In the morning we studied the behavior of different rubber compounds, and after dinner started to work with the news.

We managed to gather a lot of useful data, it will allow the employees of the database to determine exactly what kind of increase brought improved body panels, rear wing and the updated configuration exhaust pipes. Tomorrow Heikki waiting for a similar program, the forecast promise good weather, and we expect to leave , fully fulfilled all that was planned".

Kobayashi completed a program of tests at Mugello

Camuy Kobayashi worked two days on the tests at Mugello and completed in its program " tomorrow behind the wheel Sauber sit Sergio Perez.

Today Camuy caused the only stop the session of the red flag, when in the second session of the machine froze in the 12-m turn - the team spent about an hour to repair, then the Japanese was able to continue the work.

Day program consisted of the continuation of the evaluation of the effectiveness of the new aerodynamic cladding. Yesterday Camuy fairly optimistic about the effectiveness of the newness of the machine, and today took the second line in the Protocol, showing the same time, as the leader of the day. In addition, the team checked the work of brake system and cooling.

Schumacher's Ferrari put up for auction

on may 11-12 in Monaco will be a traditional auction , on which with a hammer will take several dozens of unique machines. Even a superficial acquaintance with the catalogue of the auction causes rapid heart beat any connoisseur of techniques, including racing.

For example, among the lots you can see and diesel sports car Peugeot 908 HDI FAP, which started in Le Mans, and the amazing replica of the Maserati 250F, so just repeat the original machine 1954, the FIA allows it to start racing historical car. It is on this 58 years ago spoke of the great Fangio, winning the Grand Prix of Argentina and Belgium, on the way to his second title.

But the highlight of the program is considered a lot 346 the Ferrari F1-2000, chassis 204, at which Michael Schumacher went in the year 2000, when he won the championship of the world - this was the first such achievement for after a gap of two decades. It is interesting that the machine for some time belonged to Jean Todt, at the time the Italian team.

In the catalog of the auction stated that she was retrieved on the basis of Ferrari in Maranello in 2008-m year, and that is equipped with a fully working engine capacity of 820 l.with. Approximate price of the lot - 680 - 850 thousand euros.

But this is not the only machine of Formula 1, which will be available in Monaco Williams FW06 sample 1978, with 475 HP motor Ford-Cosworth DFV is available for a 480 - EUR 580 thousand. In his time on her played Alan Jones, who later became the first world champion, who won the title at the wheel Williams.

In the McLaren ahead of schedule finished the program of the second day

On the second day of tests at Mugello behind the wheel of a McLaren MP4-27A sat Gary . the 31-year-old Briton, the winner of the past in the past weekend the first stage of the DTM series, drove 59 circles, taking the 11-th line in the final Protocol.

The team concentrated on the work with the aerodynamics, comparing the results on a real track with the data obtained in the wind tunnel, and studied the behavior of the different rubber compounds Pirelli. Because of problems with the transmission program was completed for about 1500 local time, so that in the last three hour session not traveled.

Fearnley We must make progress to the Grand Prix of Spain

In an interview to the press-service of Force India Executive Director of the team Robert Fearnley remembered the events of The Grand Prix of Bahrain, where Paul di Resta achieved the best result of the season and also told about the expectation that the team connects with the novelties for the tests at Mugello and the Grand Prix of Spain.

Question Sixth place in Bahrain - a fantastic result for Force India. Are you satisfied

Robert Fearnley I think that the team perfectly worked the entire weekend, our collaborators were laid. Nice to achieve this result, especially taking into account the problems we encountered in the course of the weekend.

Question the Team has developed an excellent tactics for the Floor, but he had to realize it. It was not easy

Robert Fearnley it All started in Saturday's qualification. Floor was not to go in the final, if he drove the three circles in the fresh set of tires Soft, then we will not be able to implement tactics with two pit stops. He started on the new tire Soft, and the following two sections used the new rubber Medium. This tactic demanded excellent aerobatics, great pit stops and the lack of errors. Command and Paul in perfection have done their job.

Question As the Floor managed to leave the boxes on the net the track

Robert Fearnley In fact, it is not always successful, but in most cases it really escaped traffic. By the end of the race before it was pure path. Of course, it helped, but we had a thoroughly thought-out tactics.

Question Paul was able to restrain Nico through skillful use of KERS.

Robert Fearnley it seems to Me, Nico Rosberg realized that we have done, to save the position and did the same. Opening our plan, he quickly coped with this problem.

Question On the last rounds of the tires on the car Floor was completely worn out

Robert Fearnley Yes, it is completely obsolete and did not have stood still one of the circle. If the race continued to circle longer, Fernando Alonso would be overtaken Sex - Spaniard was very close to a straight line. Paul, however, was enough of a charge of KERS and resource tires to save the position.

Question What went wrong in Bahrain for Nico

Robert Fearnley At the start of the incorrect work the clutch, so he lost a lot of positions. Nico tried to implement the same tactics that and the Floor, but she has not justified itself.

Question Team prepared a novelty for tests at Mugello and the Grand Prix of Spain. Seriously will change the machine

Robert Fearnley In the beginning of the season we said that we'll try to earn the maximum result in the first four races with the help of good tactics and skill of the pilots. I think we managed it. The machine was not as fast as we expected, but we hope to solve the problem by the Grand Prix of Spain.

Question are You sure that with the advent of the novelties of the situation will change

Robert Fearnley we Have a lot of new details, but, as is known, all the teams arrive in Barcelona's new, so it cannot be considered that only Force India is moving forward. However, I do not doubt the fact that the machine will be better.

Riccardo "We will be happy to play at least a couple of tenths of a."

On tests in the Mugello team Toro Rosso faces a number of technical novelties, and Daniel Riccardo hopes that they will at least a little to increase the speed of the machine before the European phase of the season.

"We have to try several new components, - quotes Riccardo Australian newspaper the Sydney Morning Herald. - The machine has got a new diffuser, as well as an improved exhaust system, - all these are very important things. These changes can be considered very significant, and, I hope, the results of the tests confirm the calculations of engineers.

Achieving this is not easy, but if novelties are effective, we will be glad, if to be able to play on the circle at least a couple of tenths. I would not talk about 0.5 seconds - it would be too optimistic, but it would be nice at least a little to increase the speed of the str7."

Force India and Marussia faced with problems

The second day of tests at Mugello is for the team Force India failed virtually the entire day of the machine Paul di Resta remained in the boxes. The Scot has made only seven laps on the track, but an hour before the completion of the races in the protocols of the environment in the column "Time" against his name was blank.

Most likely, on its VJM05 having problem with the hydraulics.

"We are faced with technical problems, and try to solve them. Probably, they are connected with the hydraulic system, although we are not fully sure, - quotes the representative of Force India site GPUpdate. "We hope that closer to the end of the session we will be able to get back on track".

According to the plans of the team yesterday at the wheel of the machine worked Jules Bianchi, and tomorrow it will be all Nico , i.e., di Resta will not be possible to catch up.

But the Scot is not the only driver, not passing any circle, while the afternoon session is coming to an end today was not lucky and the rider Marussia Timo Mediocre, whose car had to change the rail because of breakage of the page.

Villeneuve appreciated the progress of the Kimi, but do not hurry with conclusions

World champion-1997 Jacques Villeneuve believes that the return of Kimi in Formula 1, and confident performances early in the season went for the benefit of the sport. While Finn occupies the 7-th line in the individual competition, and in the Grand Prix of Bahrain racers Lotus F1 achieved very good results Raikkonen finished second, and his partner Roman - third.

Nevertheless, Villeneuve believes that the final conclusions to do early.

"Kimi is better than we expected some, but in the Lotus he was given a fast car, " writes Villeneuve on the pages of the British journal of F1 Racing. - When it is impossible to say that the speed it is markedly different from the , which in 2009, the year of its debut in Formula 1, absolutely lost on a background of Fernando Alonso. However, it is possible that since then, the novel really grew up in a professional sense in a word, we have to wait to conclusions.

And all the same well, when the world champion with his vast experience is fighting for the victory in the race - it's good for the Formula 1. If, before the end of the season Lotus E20 will continue to demonstrate the high speed, it cannot be ruled out that the transmission will remain in the group of leaders. But if the situation will not change for the better, then, perhaps, he did not want to continue the struggle".

It is useful to recall that Jacques Villeneuve and Kimi Raikkonen played together in Formula 1, but, of course, in different teams, for six seasons. And for this time in the personal championship Finn he lost only once in 2001, the year of its debut in the team Sauber.

Nico Rosberg Schumacher is almost certain to extend his contract

The pilot Mercedes of Nico Rosberg said that his partner at the command of Michael Schumacher will probably sign a new contract for next season, as it would be foolish to give up the case of the way."I always it was all the same, who is my partner, " commented Rosberg. - Even when they became the Schumacher, I'm not particularly worried about it. Let them was even Vettel, I really don't mind, but right now I really understand that I very much want, that near to me in the team was Michael. Let none of us have the friendship and friendly relations, but as a team we work well together and can, assembled, and show excellent . now in excellent shape, we have in the hands of a fast and reliable car. I'm sure that Michael will remain in the race and for the next year. He is very motivated and ready to the highest results".

Camuy Kobayashi Our update worked

The pilot of the Sauber Camuy Kobayashi was satisfied with their test races on the track Mugello. In particular Japanese impressed by the performance of upgrades, prepared for the C31."Weather the conditions of the tests, unfortunately, are far from ideal, - commented on his race Camuy in an interview with Autosport. "But even now we can see that modernization, designed for our car, at work. This is great news as well as growth in the rate of us was necessary as air. Of course, with unambiguous conclusions we should wait until tomorrow, but until we are satisfied with".

Mark Webber I don't do the transition in Ferrari

The pilot of the Red Bull of mark Webber several other said to have appeared in the press rumours about his possible transfer to the camp of the Ferrari already in the next year. Australian as an inveterate lawyer answered, that does not engage in such activities. And, indeed, the pilots such questions themselves do not solve these are managers."After successful race Perez in Malaysia all, and only said that about his move to Ferrari, " the other answered direct questions of journalists Webber. "But I'm not dealing with these issues. All my strength I spend on work and fight for the highest results in the races. I want this year to take the title of the champion and fully focused on this. So far that's all I can say is.

Simon Renny about the differences of work on tests and in the Grand Prix

In the interview to journalists of the press-service of the team racing engineer Lotus Simon Renny spoke about the differences of work on tests and during Friday free races.

Simon Renny "Today we began the day with the collection of information, which allows to compare the data obtained on the real track, with the simulation results. After that, based on the work that yesterday could start to Jerome, who, until the road was dry, we made the search of the optimal settings for this route.

We focused on the testing of parts, which can't work during the week-end because of the limited number of available sets of rubber. In the tests we have a lot of new packages, and we can get answers to questions, which is not always possible to clarify in the framework of the Grand Prix. Already in the morning session of the second day of tests Roman used one set of slicks Medium and four sets of Hard, having collected a large amount of information.

During the lunch break, we will make changes in the design of suspension, and in the second session of the deal with the optimization of the machine".

In Pirelli against a return to a wide tires sample of 80-x

Pirelli promises that the rubber that Formula 1 will receive in 2013, will allow to raise speed, but in this case, Gender against a return to the sport wide tires, similar to those used in 80-s years of the last century.

Next week at the Spanish track in Jerez Pirelli holds its first tests in this season behind the wheel of the Renault R30 will work Lucas di Grassi and Jaime . The main objective, which is to solve the Italian - development of rubber of a new generation for 2013.

"We want to continue to move in the same direction to produce tyres, to develop high speed, - said Director of Pirelli Motorsport. "But you should be careful, because, on the one hand, we must ensure the safety, on the other, do not want to develop a special rubber for each route, as it was during the "bus-bar wars"

For example, on the characteristics of a Spa or Monza are not at all like Monaco. And if for all routes use tires of the same structure, then, of course, there will be a kind of restrictions. If only the team does not agree with the use of two-three different structures - for us this is not a problem, we can ensure this.

The situation is complicated by the fact that the technical regulation on tyres sample-2013 has not been approved yet, and, accordingly, are not defined parameters of the future rubber. In Pirelli hope that all this will be done in the coming weeks.

"We would be fine, if it will happen no later than June or July, " said . - In particular, by reducing the air pressure in tires can improve their adhesion to the highway. But I hope we don't have to go back to a wide tires, similar to those that were in the 80's - such is now put on the . Because regulation has not been approved yet, we are experiencing certain difficulties. But by the middle of summer it is necessary to decide, because only after that we will be able to provide samples of the new rubber".

.

Webber Participation in the tests is not the problem

In the McLaren decided to give the main drivers a break between the races in Bahrain and Spain, invited to the tests at Mugello reserve pilots. Their rivals from Red Bull Racing decided otherwise, equally dividing the program between Sebastian and mark Webber. Australians are quite satisfied with such an approach.

Mark Webber "we Have with Sebastian not have the slightest problems with a visit to the tests, the possibility of inviting other pilots was not even considered. Today, the work on the tests so seriously restricted, that it will use any opportunity to get behind the wheel.

In Mugello there is a very high speed areas, which is not found in the calendar, but the collected information is very helpful when working on other routes, particularly in terms of aerodynamics.

Major updates No, we can only speak about small details. As far as I know, the team is preparing some of the novelties, but I don't think that they will have a significant impact".

.

Bianchi Working on the highway useful in any conditions

Jules Bianchi was the first of pilots Force India sat behind the wheel of VJM05 on the road in Mugello. In an interview with the French newspaper Equipe racer has summed up the results of the day.

Question How did the tests

Jules Bianchi Taking into account the weather conditions, I managed to pass all three circles on a dry road, and in this situation it is difficult to find the limit of possibilities of the machine. Nevertheless, we were able to complete most of the program. If the engineers are happy with the day, so I am also.

Question What were you doing

Jules Bianchi Testing the aerodynamics of the car. We had to check whether the collected on the route of the data the results of tests in a wind tunnel. To do this, I drove a couple of quick laps at constant speed in a car, which is familiar to the team. Then I returned to the boxes, where the mechanics put the crack, and again went on the road with the same problem. Routine activity, but it is part of the work.

Question are you able to make progress, despite these limitations

Jules Bianchi Of Course. Even if the conditions are far from ideal, it is always good to pilot the car of the Formula 1. Here, for example, I learned to ride a "cold" rubber. Constant speed and the rain was not allowed to warm up the bus up to the working temperature, but I managed to achieve the necessary adhesion to the highway.

Question You got the pleasure from work on the tests

Jules Bianchi let's just Say it was short-lived - three times about a minute and a half - during this time, I passed the circle on the . In China, where I participated in the free rides it was raining. In Mugello, too. I hope, in Barcelona on Friday morning will be Sunny

Rosberg ready before the end of a career join the Mercedes

Nico Rosberg does not exclude, that will act in the factory team of Mercedes before the end of his career in Formula 1.

"Playing for the "Silver arrows" to the end of a career Why not quotes German newspaper Sport Bild. "I have a good chance of becoming the champion of the world, together with this team, and I am grateful for the progress that we have achieved.

My main goal is to win the title. The thought of future victories in the Mercedes me draws more than a chance to win the race behind the wheel of a Ferrari. As for the future of the partner, in this matter, I flexible I don't have any special requirements, it can be of any racer. I see no problem, if it will be Sebastian Vettel or someone else".

However, according to , he is ready to continue to work with Michael Schumacher "it Would be great if he will stay in the team. Now Michael is at a very high level, and I fully admit that he prolong the contract with Mercedes".

Commenting on the words of , head of Mercedes Motorsport Norbert Haug said "it is not the time to discuss this question. I believe that Michael is not going to jump to any other team.

As for the prospects of cooperation with , here own point of view "If we don't have any problems with the drivers, whether to try to somehow strengthen the squad Moreover, the Sebastian long-term contract with Red Bull. But I am pleased that our guys good relations with him, and they are not bad spend time. When we walked home together from Bahrain, Sebastian and Nico for a long time talking and a lot of fun - it was nice to see".

Now we have analysed the situation and know in which direction to move to the solution of their problems. We are in many ways stronger than their opponents on our side of the best pilots of the best technical personnel and again experience. We know, how to build a strategy for the race, know how to deal with the tires, but the only thing that we do not have enough to return to the real fight for the title, so it is fast car. Yes, we can try to pull on the vehicle of a couple of wins, but it is not our goal. We want to dominate and already moving towards this result.
