Mientras no lo anuncie McLaren oficialmente... mejor no lanzar las campanas al vuelo.

Ojalá ojalá ojalá.

Forza Ferrari

El 15 de diciembre de 2004 apareció en autosport.com la noticia que ahora os copio. Yo la tenía guardada porque aquel día sí que creo que volé de verdad tomándomela al pie de la letra. Bien, pues hoy "tenemos la 2ª parte" que también se ha posteado aquí .

¡GRACIAS, PEDRO! Esta vez no ha habido "batacazo".

En recuerdo de esa primera noticia...

McLaren to run third car

Raikkonen and Montoya set to get extra help on Fridays






Pedro de la Rosa could be drafted in as McLaren's third driver in 2005




McLaren looks almost certain to capitalise on its disappointing fifth-placed finish in this year's constructors' world championship by taking up the option it has to run a third car during the Friday of grand prix weekends during 2005.

Formula 1's sporting regulations allow the bottom six teams to run the extra car during the two one-hour practice sessions on Fridays and McLaren's slump down the order has opened up the possibility of it joining the sport's smaller teams in getting extra mileage.

Although the third car rule was originally intended as a way of helping just the smaller outfits, McLaren's shock loss in form last year, allied to BAR's dramatic increase in speed, has opened up the strange scenario.

At races where we consider it will be to the team's advantage to run a third car we will do so

And despite the fact that there had been some suggestions that the rules to allow third car running would get changed because of the McLaren situation, no vote has been taken on the matter and it is now certain McLaren will take up the option.

“At races where we consider it will be to the team's advantage to run a third car we will do so,” said a McLaren spokeswoman.

The identity of a third driver has not been confirmed but with test driver Alexander Wurz too tall to fit into the current version of the MP4-20, it is likely the team will pick Pedro de la Rosa.
