Alonso: Tyres impossible to predict

Fernando Alonso has said that the Ferrari team will not have a ‘clear strategy’ for the Australian Grand Prix.

Alonso, commented that it was impossible to predict the behaviour of Pirelli‘s tyres for the race, which is why he is adamant that keeping an open mind.

“That is something that will remain unknown until Sunday afternoon,” said Alonso of the tyres on Friday. “Not only here, but in all the races in all of the championship.

“In the test we saw high degradation on the tyres, but circuit to circuit it will depend because there are different asphalts, different energy into the tyres in all the circuits in the calendar, different track temperatures that we will face around the championship and it is impossible to say now we will do two stops, in Malaysia four and China three.

“There is no possibility to do that. We will go weekend by weekend.

“Also I think from Friday you normally see one kind of degradation that from Sunday is different, the track has a little bit more rubber and there are other categories that is helping the tyre well, so we will see. We have some good information today but on Sunday it will depend, and it will be in our hands to change the strategy.

“We will not have a clear strategy before the race. We will remain very open. We have fuel for the whole race so there is no panic to prepare any lap to stop. When the tyres are finished we stop, if the tyres keep going well we don’t stop, so it will be the same for everybody.”

“I think they have a very clear direction,” he said of Pirelli. “They have been working with that tyre for a clear objective which is to make the tyre degradation a little bit higher, to see more pitstops and more show and there was the intention last winter, or the end of last winter, the indications from the FIA and they achieved that.

“I think the tyre had a bigger degradation. At the same time the grip level in the last lap is quite good, quite high and the timed laps are quite competitive regarding the double diffuser loss, so I think they work quite well.

“Obviously from a driver point of view we want the best tyre possible, and we could ask for maybe a better warm-up for the harder tyres that normally is difficult. Normally you need a lot of laps to make the temperature come and when the temperature is coming there is no more rubber on the tyres, so there are some difficulties there.

“Apart from that the tyres are working well and are the same for everybody so we need to get used to them.”

Tyre companys praise fuel duty decision

Bridgestone and Kwik-Fit have reacted in a positive way towards the Government’s decision not to increase fuel duty.

Making a comment on the change of the  previously planned hike announced in the Budget,Bridgestone UK communications manager Andrew Dingley said “today’s announcement that the planned increase in fuel duty has been dropped is welcome news for motorists at a time of austerity. The 1p a litre, plus inflation, fuel duty escalator, which was due to take effect on April 1st, would have added as much as 5p a litre at the pumps. Intervening now to block a further fuel price increase is a sensible move and will go some way to easing the strain on motorists and businesses that rely on transportation”.

“As oil prices continue to rise, due to uncertainty in the Middle East further fuel price increases are likely in the future and for many motorists and businesses, these rising costs are becoming increasingly difficult to absorb,” Dingley added. “The coalition Government had little choice but to scrap the planned fuel duty increase now in order to keep costs at the pumps as low as possible, for as long as possible.”

Hamilton: New tyres slow?

Lewis Hamilton has said that in his mind formula 1 is on a ‘go-slow’. One of five world champions on the grid when the new season gets under way in Melbourne three weeks time.

The new season will herald a number of technical changes, including the introduction of an adjustable rear wing and the return of the kinetic energy recovery system, which will make life busier than ever for the drivers.

“The cars are slower on a race distance. Last year we had to make tyres last with heavier fuel load and now it’s even slower. I did run the other day and it was painfully slow, it really was. Just not exciting, to be honest.

“The first run – I didn’t think I was pushing very hard – and the tyres were finished after nine laps, down to the canvas. On the next run, I had to go easier. It was almost like doing an out lap and just about made it to 15 or 16 on a soft tyre.”

“Over the years you have to change your style and adapt, while keeping the important part, which is the speed and aggression,” Hamilton said. “Now the biggest step is how we are going to have to look after the tyres.

“You’ll see it’s going to be just as competitive this year, if not more. The regs are bringing the teams closer, making it more competitive, but not as hard-core competitive. In 2007 and 2008, the teams were so quick and pushing each other so fast at the front. They’ve now slowed down the cars a little, it’s maybe a more even playing field.”

Pirelli tyres and Mark Webber team up to raise cash for charity

Pirelli tyres and Mark Webber who drives for Redbull has decided to team up  to help the charity Webber set up to raise funds money for good causes, including research into leukemia.

Webber said: “It’s great to have a sponsor of the calibre of Pirelli. This is definitely going to raise the profile of the Challenge and help us to raise more money from companies who want to show that they are also willing to help.”

“This partnership is a natural fit for us, consistent with our company policy that takes its responsibility to others and the natural environment extremely seriously.”
