SHOW: Turkington joins BTCC stars at ASI

Tuesday, December 2nd 2014, 16:53 GMT

Colin Turkington, BTCC 2014

Two-time British Touring Car champion Colin Turkington is the latest tin-top star to confirm his attendance at next year's AUTOSPORT International show in Birmingham.

Turkington, who won his second BTCC crown in 2014, joins fellow champions Matt Neal, Andrew Jordan and Gordon Shedden on the list of stars attending the show from January 8-11.

"Winning the British Touring Car Championship for a second time was the result of a lot of hard work by the entire West Surrey Racing team; that it all came together was incredibly satisfying," Turkington said.

"We received great support from passionate BTCC fans all year, but the reception to winning the title has been amazing.

"It will be great to see everyone and reflect at AUTOSPORT International in January, starting what will hopefully be another successful year."

The show's regular BTCC display will also return in 2015, hosting team launches, a fleet of cars, driver interviews and autograph sessions.

F1: Caterham: Abu Dhabi gave team hope

By Jonathan Noble Monday, December 1st 2014, 15:44 GMT

Caterham's administrator says the decision to race in the season finale in Abu Dhabi was essential to give it a chance of Formula 1 survival.

While rival Marussia has closed down, with its assets due to be sold off at auction later this month, Caterham is still in talks with potential purchasers.

And although there is no guarantee a deal can be reached, acting team principal Finbarr O'Connell says that the profile boost Caterham got from racing in Abu Dhabi delivered a boost to its hopes of finding a buyer.

"We are talking to a very serious party who, if we had not gone to Abu Dhabi, we would not be talking to," O'Connell told AUTOSPORT.

"It justifies what we have done.

"We were blown over by how successful an idea it was [to race], plus the enthusiasm it got.

"It achieved everything we wanted."

As well as boosting interest from buyers, Caterham's presence in Abu Dhabi has also made other teams more aware of its plight.

In both Abu Dhabi, and in last week's F1 Commission meeting in Geneva, rival teams indicated that they would not necessarily oppose the idea of the team running a 2014 car or engine if it would help it survive.

The prospect of not needing to design a bespoke 2015 car could hand Caterham valuable extra weeks to find a purchaser - with the team initially having laid down a pre-Christmas deadline to secure a buyer.

O'Connell said the support of rival teams had been welcome, as he sensed there was a wider desire to see Caterham survive.

"The support in the paddock is absolutely phenomenal," said O'Connell, with Caterham only racing in Abu Dhabi thanks to support from partners including Red Bull, Renault and Pirelli.

"They have really supported us, and they have a vested interest in us surviving. It's been amazing."

WEC: Webber remains in hospital for checks

Written By kolimtiga on Senin, 01 Desember 2014 | 11.06

By Gary Watkins Monday, December 1st 2014, 00:15 GMT

Mark Webber, Porsche, Interlagos WEC crash 2014

Mark Webber is receiving visitors in the Sao Paulo hospital where he has been taken for checks following his accident near the end of the Interlagos World Endurance Championship finale.

Porsche driver Webber and Matteo Cressoni, whose AF Corse-run Ferrari was involved in the incident, were described as being in a satisfactory condition by FIA medical delegate Dr Alain Chantegret.

Porsche LMP1 boss Fritz Enzinger was more forthcoming on Webber's condition.

"Mark is OK, but he has had to go to hospital for further checks," he told AUTOSPORT.

"We have spoken to him and said that people can go and see him, so Timo [Bernhard] and Brendon [Hartley, Webber's team-mates] have gone to the hospital."

Enzinger said it was unclear whether Webber would be kept in the Bandeirantes hospital for further investigation.

Porsche has yet to ascertain the reasons for the accident, which happened at the fast Turn 14 left-hander that leads onto the start-finish straight.

Porsche LMP1 technical director Alex Hitzinger said: "We don't know yet what happened because there is not much footage of the accident.

"We cannot say anything until we analyse the car and the data."

Cressoni, who was sharing the AF Corse-run 8Star Ferrari with Gianluca Roda and Paolo Ruberti, is reported to have told his team that he was hit by the Porsche only after Webber had lost control.

WEC: Porsche wins, big crash for Webber

By Gary Watkins Sunday, November 30th 2014, 21:27 GMT

Neel Jani, Porsche, wins Interlagos WEC 2014

Porsche claimed the first victory of its top-flight sportscar comeback at the Interlagos World Endurance Championship finale, while its second car was in a dramatic accident involving Mark Webber.

Neel Jani took the chequered flag to seal the victory for the #14 Porsche 919 Hybrid he shared with Marc Lieb and Romain Dumas behind the safety car after Webber's late crash.

Webber, who was running sixth at the time, lost control of the #20 Porsche at the flat-out Turn 14 left hander that leads into the start-finish straight and backed into the wall.

The accident happened with 26 minutes of the race to go, but the time taken to extract Webber from the car and clear up the wreckage of a shunt that also involved the AF Corse Ferrari driven by Matteo Cressoni meant there was no time for a restart.

Webber, who was able to talk to his team on the radio immediately after the accident, was taken to the circuit medical centre for evaluation.

NEWS UPDATE: Webber undergoes further checks in hospital

Jani held a lead of 14.8 seconds ahead of the chasing Toyota TS040 HYBRID driven by Anthony Davidson when the yellow flags were brought out.

The race had been set for a grandstand finish after Porsche opted not to change tyres when Jani made his final pitstop with 50 minutes to go, whereas Toyota gave Davidson a fresh set of Michelins when he stopped 10 minutes later.

Davidson, who shared the #8 Toyota with fellow world champion Sebastien Buemi, reduced the gap from 17s to just over 13s before Jani stabilised it at around 14s prior to the safety car being deployed.

Jani said: "I was part of the first pole for Porsche on its comeback and now the first win, so I am very proud — this is what I was dreaming of when I joined."

He was confident that he would have been able to win the race had not the safety car been called.

"It was looking OK," he added, "when I was in free air I could do good times."

Nine-time Le Mans 24 Hours winner Tom Kristensen finished his career with a podium aboard the #1 Audi R18 e-tron quattro he shared with Lucas di Grassi and Loic Duval.

He came under pressure from Stephane Sarrazin in the second Toyota, shared with Alex Wurz and Mike Conway, before re-extending his lead to over three seconds when the safety car came out.

Fifth place behind the Toyota went to the second Audi of Benoit Treluyer, Andre Lotterer and Marcel Fassler, which lost more than 40s on the opening lap after an electrical glitch that followed a tap from an LMP2 car.

Second and fourth places for Toyota were more than enough to secure the LMP1 manufacturers' title.

KCMG WINS LMP2, BUT ZLOBIN IS CHAMPION

The KCMG squad claimed its third LMP2 victory of the season with its ORECA-Nissan 03R shared by Alex Imperatori, Matt Howson and Richard Bradley.

The Chinese entry ended up 18 laps ahead of the second-placed SMP Racing ORECA in which Sergey Zlobin claimed the LMP2 drivers' crown.

SMP ORECA-Nissan, Interlagos WEC 2014

The SMP car, which Zlobin shared with Nicolas Minassian and Maurizio Mediani, only had to finish the race after the championship leading G-Drive Ligier crashed out of the race in the second hour.

Olivier Pla, who was co-driving as usual with Roman Rusinov and Julien Canal, suffered what the team has so far only described as a mechanical problem into the first corner.

Pla lost the Nissan-powered on the brakes for the Senna S and with the right front wheel folded back, he was unable to bring the car back to the pits.

GTE DOUBLE FOR ASTON

Aston Martin duo Stefan Mucke and Darren Turner won GTE Pro from the Porsche of Patrick Pilet and Frederic Makowiecki, the safety car allowing them to forego a late splash-and-dash fuel stop.

Aston also finished one-two in GTE Am. Pedro Lamy, Christoffer Nygaard and Paul Dalla Lana came home a lap ahead of the sister car of Nicki Thiim, Kristian Poulsen and David Heinemeier Hansson, which was delayed by a stop-go penalty and a puncture.

WRC: Loeb dominates on rallying return

Monday, December 1st 2014, 00:34 GMT

Sebastien Loeb wins Rally of Var 2014

Sebastien Loeb began his rallying comeback with a commanding win on French event the Rally of Var, with wife Severine co-driving.

The nine-time World Rally champion turned World Touring Car Championship frontrunner announced his Var participation two months before the news of his WRC comeback on the 2015 Monte Carlo Rally emerged.

Var is a popular test event for the Monte, and Loeb led from start to finish in his Citroen DS3 WRC in often very wet conditions.

He ultimately won by over three minutes from David Salanon's Ford Fiesta RS WRC.

French Tarmac champion and WRC regular Julien Maurin was the only man able to stay near Loeb, before he crashed out on the final morning when half a minute down.

Loeb will test the DS3 again before the Monte, which will be his first WRC appearance since what had been ostensibly his farewell rally in France last October.

He finished third in the WTCC in his first season of prioritising circuit racing, behind factory Citroen team-mates Jose Maria Lopez and Yvan Muller.

F1: Hamilton to change management

Written By kolimtiga on Minggu, 02 November 2014 | 11.06

By Jonathan Noble Saturday, November 1st 2014, 22:49 GMT

Lewis Hamilton

Formula 1 championship leader Lewis Hamilton will change managers next year, after deciding not to renew his deal with Simon Fuller's XIX Management company.

Hamilton confirmed on Saturday that discussions with Mercedes over a fresh deal beyond 2015 would likely be handled by somebody else.

When asked about the situation, Hamilton said: "There is not really much to say. The contract expired and I am going to be doing something different.

"I don't know what yet, but I will decide at the end of the year."

Hamilton signed up with XIX management at the start of 2011, having previously had his career looked after by his father Anthony.

XIX played a key part in helping secure Hamilton's move to Mercedes at the start of 2013. His current deal with the team runs until the end of next year.

F1: Qualifying press conference - US

Nico Rosberg, Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas after 2014 US GP qualifying

DRIVERS

1 - Nico ROSBERG (Mercedes)

2 - Lewis HAMILTON (Mercedes)

3 - Valtteri BOTTAS (Williams)

TV UNILATERAL

Nico, a very strong pole position, a big margin for you. How do you feel about that? And hings are really hotting up, I guess now, with just three races to go?

Nico ROSBERG: Yeah, great day, very happy. It worked out really well, you know. Together with my engineers I really arrived at a car in the end in qualifying that I was happy with, the balance was good. Because it was quite a challenge, because the wind was changing and then this morning the conditions were quite different, a lot colder, so the track was changing all the time and it wasn't that easy to get everything right but in the end we got to a great set-up, a great car, so I'm pleased with that. So first place of course today is awesome but you know the race is what counts, so I still need to focus fully on tomorrow and to to bring it home.

Well done. Coming to you Lewis, fastest in practice, fastest in Q1, but from Q2 onwards it seemed to be a bit of a troubled session for you, particularly with braking, in Q2 and again in Q3 I think?

Lewis HAMILTON: Yeah, absolutely. Obviously, Nico did a great job today. I really struggled with braking, yeah. When you look at the brake temperatures, the left brake was always around 100 degrees less than the right front brake. It just kept catching. No matter what I did, even if I braked earlier and tried to save it, it would still lock. So that was perhaps where I was losing a lot of the time. But even if that wasn't the case I think Nico was perhaps too quick today.

Is that an issue for you for the race, with that set of tyres?

LH: Potentially, yeah, so I need to try to see... maybe they can scrub them down or something and try to fix it overnight.

OK, thank you for that. Coming to you Valtteri: your sixth time in the last eight grands prix that you've qualified in the top three. That's some run of form.

Valtteri BOTTAS: yeah, a pretty god qualifying again. I'm really pleased with the couple of good laps I got in Q3 today actually. It's been a difficult weekend from my side for some reason, to get to a good rhythm and then finally during the qualifying I could really trust the car, like you should do. Really happy for us as a team, again, we locked the second row. It's a good starting position for tomorrow's race because we have still important three races to try to keep a good position in the constructors' championship.

Very well done. Coming back to you again Nico, this track, particularly from the start, one of the characteristics here at the Circuit of the Americas has been the difference between the clean side and the dirty side off the grid. You must be pleased you're on the right side of that tomorrow?

NR: I haven't thought that far yet, but if you say it then yes, that's great, another extra advantage for the clean side of the grid, you know, starting first. Of course the start is going to be important, need to make the most of that and stay ahead.

PRESS CONFERENCE

Q: So Nico, that, I think, is the sixth Mercedes front row lock-out in a row, which is certainly a statement about the dominance you've got in the car and the way you continue to stay ahead of everybody. Margin of nine-tenths to Valtteri today, it was four-tenths in Sochi - but you too haven't been immune from brake problems this weekend, have you? Is this something worrying you at all going into the race?

NR: We've had a few issues in general on the car this weekend, on both cars and so yeah, we need to try to get it all right for tomorrow - but personally I'm not worried about that at all because if I would start worrying about that, it's not going to be good for performance. So I'm very confident the team's going to get the job done and just concentrate on what I can influence on my driving. I'm not worried.

Q: Lewis, I don't know if you know but tomorrow is six years to the day since you won your world championship: November 2nd 2008. So I'm sure you'll be hoping to channel the Interlagos spirit into tomorrow's grand prix - but how much is that vibration on those tyres going to cause you a problem? Can you drill down a little bit more into that for us?

LH: Well the vibration isn't that bad. It's a minor flat spot. They'll rebalance it and hopefully won't feel too much with it. The issue is just locking. If I can't fix that left brake, then that will be a continuing issue throughout the race. And obviously flat spots lead to blistering so I've got try and make sure we can fix that this evening.

Q: Coming to you Valtteri, you got your first points in Formula One here 12 months ago. Tell us about the race in prospect for you and also why you were behind Felipe pretty much the whole of today and how you managed to nail him when it got to the business end of qualifying.

VB: Yeah, it should be an interesting race. I think especially the guys behind us are going to be really quick and we're now in a good position in the team's championship and it's going to be an important race for us to get good points with both cars. It's not going to be easy. So we will really need to try to get everything right tomorrow. Really look forward to the race here, it's always good fun. In qualifying and in general from the practice, I managed to improve myself a lot during every session and really got the car to a good setup only just before the qualifying and for the qualifying - so I could really trust the car a bit better in the qualifying and get those lines right and get every corner right. I knew that Q3 is the one which is going to matter, and I needed to get everything right and be on the limit and then that's when I tried to squeeze everything that there was - and I feel I managed to do so.

QUESTIONS FROM THE FLOOR

Q: (Paolo Ianieri - La Gazzetta dello Sport) Nico, where did you also find those tenths that you found in your Q3? Quite impressive pace after always being behind Lewis during the practice.

NR: What was the reason? I finally got there on setup, together with my team. We just continued to improve the car all the time and just got it right and I felt comfortable in the end. I was able to push and it felt good balance. Nailed the lap, got the lap really well, so it all worked out.

Q: (Dan Knutson - Auto Action / National Speedsport News) To the two Mercedes guys, when you have troubles like you did today, little troubles, does it frustrate you or does it motivate you in a way, to say 'I'm going to beat this and get on top of it and go even faster'.?

NR: Neither of the two really. It's always a bit frustrating to have something like that in the moment but then, I've learned to move on to just accept and concentrate on the things that I can influence and just keep on it. That's what I tried to do today and it worked out well.

Lewis?

LH: The same.

Q: (Ian Parkes - Press Association) To all three of you, you may or may not be aware that there is a very real threat tomorrow - It's not speculation, it's not hearsay - of three teams, Force India, Sauber and Lotus, opting to boycott this race. What impact do you feel that would have on Formula One?

Nico?

NR: No comment. Because I have not heard anything about this and it would not be the right thing for me to even comment on something like that.

Lewis?

LH: Same.

Valtteri?

VB: Same. No comment really. I don't know anything about this situation so I can't really say much.

F1: Ecclestone: Crisis 'probably my fault'

By Jonathan Noble Saturday, November 1st 2014, 22:38 GMT

Bernie Ecclestone

Bernie Ecclestone says top Formula 1 teams are going to have to make sacrifices to solve the cost crisis, and admitted financial structures he had put in place were wrong.

In a surprise confession that commercial arrangements agreed with teams had contributed to F1's current woes, he said that only assistance from the big outfits could now help him sort matters out.

"The problem is there is too much money probably being distributed badly - probably my fault," said Ecclestone in a lengthy media briefing at Austin on Saturday.

"But like lots of agreements people make, they seemed a good idea at the time."

When asked if he regretted the deals in question, he replied: "If the company belonged to me I would have done things in a different way because it would have been my money I was dealing with.

"But I work for people who are in the business to make money."

REDISTRIBUTION OF MONEY

One idea Ecclestone mooted is for the big teams to contribute a share of their prize money towards a fund for the smaller outfits.

"We have to open the eyes of those people in a position to turn the lights on and off to what they need to do," he said.

"I wouldn't want to be in a position where I was too strong, F1 disappears and someone says it is because of you it disappeared.

"I said to people getting a chunk of money that I would like to take a percentage of their performance-related payment.

"I would put that money together to divide among the three or four we know are in trouble but are not going to run away with the money, and then I will put in the same amount of money."

However, Ecclestone admits that getting such a fund together would not be easy because F1 rules allow teams to block such changes.

"We have to decide the best way to sort this whole thing out. Frankly, I know what's wrong but don't know how to fix it.

Sauber and Force India, US GP 2014, Austin

"No one is prepared to do anything about it because they can't. The regulations have tied us up.

"We can't all sit back nicely relaxed and think the problem will go away. It's not like having the flu and taking a few tablets and it will disappear.

"I think the situation is such that if enough people want it resolved, we can resolve it. It's a case of the people that are involved in the sport will have to want to look after the sport and be prepared to make some sacrifices.

"I would tear all the contracts up. Take all the money, pay all the teams' debts that should be paid so people haven't suffered because of Formula 1."

NO BOYCOTT THREAT

Ecclestone denied there was a threat of a boycott this season, even though Force India's Bob Fernley repeatedly suggested it was an option.

"Forget all that crap," Ecclestone said. "I promise they will be racing. They will be racing, I give you a guarantee - but I worry if they will be racing next year."

He also played down the possibility of three-car teams.

"Forget third cars," he said. "Nobody can afford two cars."
