38isn't moto GP still on?
0Its better if you use the kers launching off parabolica before starting qualifying lap and then safe the one you get as soon as you cross the start finish line and use it a bit after first chicane, and the rest launching off either corner 5, 8 or 9.Originally Posted by vikiradTG2007
its better to use kers under acceleration cause then you will be carrying more speed through the straight rather than using it when your already at higherspeeds.

and Rossi is fighting for the title with his teammate Lorenzo
also I remember reading that Rossi test showed that he had a long way if wanted to race in F1, Fisichella is the perfect choice.
651) Who will take pole and win the race?
Pole: Barrichello, Win: Raikkonen
2) Who will be driving for Ferrari in Monza?
For Ferrari's sake, hopefully not Badoer. Put Fisi alonside Kimi!!
3) Will Jenson Button score in this race? Where will he finish?
He will, I'll say...hmm....6th place.
4) Spa saw Toyota, BMW, and Force India bounce back as contenders for victory. Will they repeat the same challenge here?
I think BMW & Toyota will...but not FI. Especially if Fisi is elsewhere.
5) How much of an advantage will KERS play in this race?
Quite a bit.
6) Out of the 4 contenders for the championship, who will score the most in this race?
Rubens
7) Will we see rain again like last year?
No
291) Who will take pole and win the race?
Who can tell! Badoer? Nakajima? Sébastien Bourdais on a home made tricycle? Anything's possible (to a point!)
2) Who will be driving for Ferrari in Monza?
Luca!
3) Will Jenson Button score in this race? Where will he finish?
Depends if his girlfriend is there I suppose. He'll finish in Monza, that much I can be sure of, as for which position, I'll pluck for 8th
4) Spa saw Toyota, BMW, and Force India bounce back as contenders for victory. Will they repeat the same challenge here?
Toyota will do their speciality and slowly head to the back after starting at the front, as for BMW and FI who can tell, I hope FI do well again, not fussed on the quitters.
5) How much of an advantage will KERS play in this race?
After the start none at all, except for keeping cars behind you.
6) Out of the 4 contenders for the championship, who will score the most in this race?
Webber, with a stunning 1st place!
7) Will we see rain again like last year?
Maybe not like last year, but rain would be nice, would help the Red Bulls!
167Just read on F1Fanatic that Liuzzi was spotted at the Force India factory recently for a seat fitting. Might be the sign of Fisi's move, might just be a seat fitting for a set of straight line tests.
208Liuzzi? They can't be serious!
167Well... nothing is confirmed, and apparently Ferrari will confirm their Monza line-up today or tomorrow. Let's wait and see.
38According to Jonathan Noble Ferrari will be making their announcement at 3.30pm UK time today... which by my calculations is roughly 45 minutes from now.
167I've got the Autosport forum and James Allen and Jonathan Noble's Twitters open... as soon as a hint of an announcement is dropped, I'll report back here.
EDIT: Italian newspaper websites report that it's probably Fisi.
EDIT 2: Noble's Twitter says that it is Fisico indeed.
38Yep, it's Fisi according to them.
167SourceForce India releases Fisichella to Ferrari
By Jonathan Noble Thursday, September 3rd 2009, 13:50 GMT
Giancarlo FisichellaGiancarlo Fisichella will be the second Ferrari driver from the Italian Grand Prix after he was released from his contract by his Force India team on Thursday.
Following days of speculation about who would line up alongside Kimi Raikkonen now that Felipe Massa is out for the season, Force India confirmed that Fisichella would switch teams from the Italian Grand Prix.
The team said that discussions with Ferrari began in the last 24 hours, once it became clear that Massa was out for the season. Force India owner Dr Vijay Mallya said: "Giancarlo and his management team approached me yesterday with the proposal from Ferrari.
"For any Italian driver, a Ferrari race seat is a long-held dream and for Giancarlo it was no exception. No one should stand in the way of this. Furthermore the agreement will secure Giancarlo's long-term future with Ferrari and it would be incorrect to jeopardise this, particularly when Giancarlo has made such a vital contribution to Force India."
Force India is understood to have outstanding debts with Ferrari left over from its customer engine supply deal that ended last year - but Mallya said that commercial factors did not have a role in the outcome.
"We would like to stress that we have not agreed any financial settlement with Ferrari," he said. "This agreement has been made in good faith and for the good of Giancarlo and the sport in general. A competitive Italian driver in a Ferrari for Monza is a positive story for Formula 1, which can only help raise the sport's profile in these difficult times.
"We would like to thank Giancarlo for all his help over the past one and a half seasons and for delivering us our first World Championship points last weekend. He has been an integral part of the team and we owe him a great deal for his input behind the scenes and performance out on track. We wish him all the best for the future.
"For Force India, this sport is a team effort and removing one part, even a major one, will not significantly affect our performance. The competitiveness of the team seen in Belgium was a result of hard work in the factory and wind tunnel and we have further developments coming for the final races, so we are confident this momentum can be sustained. We are now looking forward to a strong finish to the season."
Force India has not made a decision who will drive alongside Adrian Sutil for the rest of the season, although it is expected that Vitantonio Liuzzi will step up from his test drive role.
The odd thing is that Force India have confirmed the move first.
38What's their definition of 'long-term'?"For any Italian driver, a Ferrari race seat is a long-held dream and for Giancarlo it was no exception. No one should stand in the way of this. Furthermore the agreement will secure Giancarlo's long-term future with Ferrari and it would be incorrect to jeopardise this, particularly when Giancarlo has made such a vital contribution to Force India."
I assume that they are referring to him driving to the end of the year for Ferrari.
167Nah... probably longer-term employment. Possibly replacing the man he's replacing now in the race seat. Also Ferrari's website has confirmed the move.
29Probably become the test driver as well as become part of the marketing team and perhaps help with the development of their road cars seeing as a certain German's contract with them is coming to an end.
109
Very confusing move from Ferrari, but Fisi will bring back solid points for the team, Badoer can't.
181
Hope he wins. Fisi has always been a favourite of mine and it's great to see him realise a lifelong dream and finish his career with Ferrari.
38Why would Ferrari want Fisi to permanently replace Massa when Massa is currently doing so well?
181
Think he means Badoer
