[ABCV]

Pues recién configurada la parrilla 2009 me atrevo a abrir el post en el que analizaremos los movimientos que podrían producirse para la próxima temporada que ya noticias están empezando a salir, sobre todo referentes a USF1.

USF1 interesado en fichar a Danica Patrick

El equipo norteamericano de Fórmula 1, USF1, que tiene previsto participar en el Campeoanto de 2010, podría estar interesado en fichar a la piloto de IndyCar Danica Patrick.

La escuadra, que el próximo 24 de febrero anunciará sus planes y cuya sede estará en Charlotte, USA, estaría pensando en hacerse con los servicios de Patrick para así aumentar la popularidad del deporte en Estados Unidos y atraer a patrocinadores.

"Es fantástica y además atrae mucho a la prensa", declaró el director técnico de USF1, Ken Anderson, a 'The Associated Press' en una entrevista telefónica. "Probablemente el presidente de Indianapolis Motor Speedway,Tony George, se enfadaría conmigo si me la llevase de IRL, pero ya veremos. No sé si es algo que ella quiera hacer, aunque nos encantaría hacerle una prueba".

En la lista de posibles pilotos también se encontraría el ex piloto de Scuderia Toro Rosso Scott Speed y el hijo del antiguo piloto de Fórmula 1 Derek Daly, Conor Daly.

Raikkonen hints at Ferrari departure, eyes other seats


Kimi Raikkonen on Friday admitted for the first time the possibility he will leave Ferrari at the end of the season.
And interestingly, although his potential departure has been linked with a full-time switch to rallying, the 29-year-old Finn said no matter what happens, he is staying in Formula One.
"If for some reason I am not at Ferrari next season I know I'll have a seat at another team in the paddock," he is quoted as saying by Britain's Daily Telegraph. "It's not a problem. Other teams want me."
His comments coincide with increasing speculation that Ferrari has now signed a binding contract with Fernando Alonso and needs to part with either of its existing contracted drivers for 2010: Raikkonen, or the recovering Felipe Massa.
It is believed an amicable split between Ferrari and Raikkonen is likely, but it will cost the Italian team millions as his engagement next year would have earned him in excess of $45m.
"I'm too young to retire. I have a contract with Ferrari for next season. If I didn't want to race next season I would not have signed a contract," he added.
Alonso's move would obviously create a gap at Renault, but arguably the better vacant seat is at McLaren, who are openly considering parting with Heikki Kovalainen.
It may have been a Freudian slip, but the BBC quoted team boss Martin Whitmarsh as saying at Valencia last weekend: "Kimi's really raised his game and all weekend has done a great job and Heikki has always been a fantastic team player and a good asset in our team but his race pace hasn't been good enough."
Lewis Hamilton was asked on Friday about the prospect of having a new teammate for 2010, but deflected the question in the direction of his bosses before remarking that he's "happy with Heikki".
Raikkonen drove for McLaren between 2002 and 2006.
