Si no se sanciona duramente al circuito Istambul Park por las graves faltas de seguridad nunca podrán exigir nada a ningún otro circuito.

¿No era el dueño Bernie Ecclestone? Si es así, no sé yo si se le sancionará...

Lo de los perros, de pena

Ya te digo... y con lo bien que estaba rodando Senna...

WSR: SportMotores.es habla con RC Motorsport - Exclusivo
Data: 15/05/2008 18:09

Esta semana nos hemos encontrado con las diversas noticias publicadas en diversos medios que nos informaban de la posible ruptura de contrato entre Borja García y el equipo italiano RC Motorsport. Una noticia un tanto soprendente dado que Borja ya había trabajado con ellos en el pasado -2006- con buenos resultados y no se entendía cuáles podían ser las circunstancias que alimentasen estas noticias.

SportMotores.es ha contactado hoy mismo con el máximo responsable de RC Motorsport, Cristiano Giardina, para intentar conocer algo más de los detalles que se están moviendo entre bambalinas esta semana.

Giardina ha explicado a SportMotores.es: "Existen un 80% de posibilidades de que él no continúe con nosotros. No es un problema de resultados ni de calidad del piloto. Son otro tipo de problemas." nos decía. Para a continuación darnos una fecha límite en la que se resolverá todo: "Mañana tenemos una reunión con él aquí Milán y, probablemente, cada parte tomará su camino, toda vez que algunas cosas no están funcionando bien".

A su vez también hemos procedido a contactar con Borja para intentar conocer su versión de la historia aunque por el momento sin éxito, aunque procederemos a su publicación en SportMotores.es de esta información tan pronto la tengamos.

Giardina por su parte nos ha explicado también algunos de los planes futuros que RC Motorsport tiene en caso de que Borja abandone: "Estamos en contacto con tres pilotos, pero no puedo revelar sus nombres. Queremos un piloto que dispute la temporada al completo y no sólo unas pocas carreras y, para éso, es preciso que aporte algún dinero a pesar de que nosotros tenemos patrocinadores. Sea como fuere, mañana estará todo decidido".

Para bien o para mal mañana sabremos de la continuidad o no de Borja en la categoría al menos en el seno de RC. Como siempre todos los detalles en SportMotores.es.

SOUCEK RETURNS TO DPR FOR GP2 ROUND IN MONACO

David Price Racing (DPR) will line up on the Monaco grid with Andy Soucek and Diego Nunes driving for the team this weekend. Regular driver, Nunes, will be looking to continue to make improvement as he gains experience with the GP2 car and team. Soucek, confirmed as replacement driver for injured Michael Herck, on a single-race
deal, returns to the Surrey-based team, with which he scored a podium on his last outing at the opening round of the GP2 Asia Series.

Soucek says of the upcoming weekend, Im looking forward to running with DPR in Monaco. Thanks to my sponsors, Knight Frank, Interwetten, and LEquip Asset Management, which is a new partner for me, Im able to be on the grid and Im hoping to bring them and DPR some good results. Its one of the most exciting, high-pressured, prestigious motor racing events and its very special to be part of this.

I scored three podiums in my last three races with the team so Im hoping to continue that momentum. I raced here last year with DPR and it was a fairly strong weekend. I was fifth quickest in free practice, but made a mistake in qualifying. In the race I had an early incident which damaged the steering on my car, yet despite this I was able to keep running and the pace was there. Against this background, Im feeling very confident. My focus will be on doing the best job I can and Ill be aiming to bring the team more valuable championship points.

The third round of the 2008 GP2 Series supports the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix, one of the most glittering, glamorous events of the motorsport calendar. For the first time GP2 will have two races in the principality with the Feature event on Friday morning and the Sprint race on Saturday afternoon.

The Monaco circuit is the venue for the first of two street races on this years GP2 calendar. The layout of the circuit has remained largely unchanged since it was created1929, with the addition of three chicanes and the sea-front swimming pool over the years. It twists and turns through the streets of Monte Carlo and along the harbour front, and with the backdrop of expensive yachts, high rise apartment blocks and famous landmarks such as the Casino, is one of the most unique circuits in motorsport.

Nunes will be experiencing the challenge for the first time this weekend, while for Soucek it will be his third visit. David Price, Team Principal, DPR, says, Weve brought Andy in to the team for this race weekend to accelerate the car development and with the unique demands of Monaco we wanted to add an experienced driver to partner our rookie, Diego.

We hope that his experience here can help us all put in strong performances. Diego will benefit from Andys track knowledge and we can work together to get on top of this very difficult track. Andy knows the team and the engineer, Andy (Miller), so it should be easy for him to be on the pace quite quickly which will be important here. As always we know the competition will be tough, the track will challenge the drivers skills and well need to support this with strong teamwork.

Herck is currently sidelined with a hand injury and is set to return to the driving seat at next months Paul Ricard test, but as a Monaco resident, hell be on the pitwall with the team to support them at his home event.
