Formula 1 » Kovalainen: Lewis is good, but I'm better. Thursday, 3rd July 2008 McLaren-Mercedes F1 star Heikki Kovalainen ramps up the pressure ahead of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone this weekend, warning team-mate and home favourite Lewis Hamilton that he wants to win every bit as much as the Briton does. In a pre-British Grand Prix interview, Heikki Kovalainen has joked that team-mate Lewis Hamilton is very good, but not quite as good as me' and has insisted the only result he will be truly satisfied with at Silverstone is victory. The young Finn has endured a trying start to his 2008 Formula 1 campaign with McLaren-Mercedes, sitting equal on points with Hamilton following the opening three races, but since then scoring just twice and slipping some 18 points adrift of the Briton in the title standings. Kovalainen's bad luck started in the Spanish Grand Prix, when he plunged headlong into the Circuit de Catalunya's crash barriers at more than 160mph following a wheel rim failure, leaving him severely shaken but thankfully otherwise unhurt. He bounced back to record the maiden front row grid slot of his fledgling career in the top flight in Turkey just a fortnight later only to be assaulted by the Ferrari of countryman Kimi Raikkonen into the first corner and then lost out when his electronics failed him on the grid in Monaco, leaving him to fight his way up the order once more, gutsily grabbing the final point for eighth place. The appearance of the safety car similarly saw to his hopes in Montreal, but a strong performance in Magny-Cours last time out battling his way through the pack following a controversial grid penalty for having been deemed to have impeded Red Bull Racing's Mark Webber during qualifying earned him fourth spot at the chequered flag, and handed him a timely boost ahead of Silverstone. I think there's been a lot of promise and the pace has been good, the 26-year-old reflected in an interview with Radio 1's Newsbeat programme, but we haven't got good enough results yet. There have been a lot of incidents. I had an accident in Barcelona and also some technical issues; [due to] all these things that have come up, I haven't managed to put the whole weekend together yet, but I'm planning to start it at Silverstone. Hopefully we can have a weekend without any incidents and deliver with the promise that we've had. The first half [of Silverstone] is probably the best piece of track that you can actually get a go on in a Formula 1 car. You don't have to slow down; you don't have to touch the brakes at all. You can just lift and shift the gear down and go back on full power, and that's where you feel a Formula 1 car performing at its best. I'm looking forward to Silverstone very much, probably as much as the whole team is looking forward to Silverstone as one of our home races. I was based near Silverstone for many, many years. I have some friends and family there that I know, so for me it feels like a home race as well. I'm really looking forward to having a go on Sunday. ![]() The only position that I'm satisfied with is if I'm leading the race; any other position means that there's more work to do. As a team we work towards that goal. Ten laps into the race I hope I'm fighting for the lead. From then onwards there's still a long way to go and it's just [about] trying to maximise every lap we go around. At the end the result should be good. Indeed, just such a good result would boost Kovalainen's championship chances with his best finish for McLaren to-date being third place in Malaysia back in March and he is confident that he is capable of getting the better of Hamilton, with whom he has a far happier relationship than did Fernando Alonso last year. It's really good, he enthused. On a personal level, we get along really well. We're both based in Geneva and we spend some together. We like sports, both of us. We do a lot of different kinds of sports, playing tennis and squash, and it gets very competitive. It's working really well and we both are very competitive. I want to beat Lewis but, you know, he wants to beat me and together when we're on the track we push each other forward. He's very good but not quite as good as me. |

Todos los años desde hace un montón de temporadas escuchándose que la F1 peligraba en Silverstone y al final, el año que se habían aprobado las obras para unas nuevas infraestructuras (pit line)... La F1 se marcha a Donington.
No se si echaremos de menos Silverstone, o al menos algunas de sus curvas, pero Donington es sin duda un gran sucesor. Además, en Donington se encuentra una de las principales colecciones de F1 del mundo. -------------------- Saludos.

Jakobi nuevo manager de Hamilton.
Hamilton 'despide' a papá y contrata a un mánager profesional. Durante el año y medio que Lewis Hamilton lleva peleando entre los mejores pilotos del mundo, hay una sombra, una imagen, que le ha acompañado a todos y cada uno de los grandes premios que ha disputado: su padre Anthony. Es el celoso guardaespaldas de su carrera y quien le lleva asesorando desde que el chaval empezaba en los karts a los once años. Hasta ahora. El piloto británico y su círculo de confianza se han dado cuenta de que su imagen empieza a ser un filón y quieren explotarla al máximo. Lewis ya es imagen de Reebok y Pepsi, contratos logrados por su padre, pero quiere más. De hecho, el plan es convertirle en el nuevo Beckham con su imagen. Julian Jakobi, un tipo influyente Para ello, Lewis ha decidido contratar los servicios de un mánager profesional, que lleve sus asuntos económicos y de imagen, liberando a su padre de esta tarea y dejándole, solamente, al frente del aspecto deportivo. El elegido es uno de los hombres más influyentes dentro del gran circo. Se trata de Julian Jakobi, uno de los mánagers más cotizados del mercado y que ya tuvo con él a gente como Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna o Juan Pablo Montoya, al que consiguió contratos de imagen multimillonarios. De esta forma, Hamilton también se desvincula en ciertos aspectos de Ron Dennis. El patrón de McLaren siempre ha sido un segundo padre para él, pero ahora parece que el piloto se ha cansado un poco de su control, que ya le ha llevado a más de una discusión por las apariciones públicas del piloto. Fuente MARCA Saludos! -------------------- Resistir es vencer, y en los momentos malos hay que ser, sobre todo,condenadamente optimista, hasta el final.
