2007 McLaren MP4-22 news, pictures, specifications, and information
Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Launched in Spain
Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton, who form one of the youngest driver line-ups in the history of the sport, unveiled the new MP4-22 at the Valencia circuit in Spain.
Pedro de la Rosa and Gary Paffett join Fernando and Lewis to complete the driver line-up. Pedro and Gary, who are starting their fifth and second years wîth the team respectively, will continue to support the ongoing technical development of the MP4-22 package during the course of the year alongside Fernando and Lewis.
'This is a fantastic day for me - I am really proud to be introducing myself as a Vodafone McLaren Mercedes driver in my home country, and of course to help present my new team to the Spanish fans,' said double World Champion Fernando. 'Although this is my first public event wîth Vodafone McLaren Mercedes, I have already spent a lot of time wîth the team and my fellow drivers Lewis, Pedro and Gary, at the McLaren Technology Centre. It is a great team and I am excited about this new beginning. My fans are such an inspiration and it is great to bring the team so close to them. I hope they enjoy watching Lewis and myself drive the cars in their new livery around the streets of Valencia.'
For Lewis, today sees the realization of a childhood ambition, 'Growing up, I saw so many Formula 1 launches in the media, and to be here in Valencia to unveil the new Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team really brings home to me the distance I have traveled to achieve my dream of becoming a grand prix driver,' said Lewis. 'There is still a long way for me to go, as I am at the early stages of my career and have a lot to learn, but the passion I have for the sport and this team is immense, I cannot wait to take to the grid in Australia in March. This year will be about firsts for me, starting wîth today and my first Formula 1 presentation and my first demonstration run. It will be great to take the cars onto the streets and I hope the fans like the new livery as much as I do!'
Ron Dennis, Team Principal of Vodafone McLaren Mercedes and Chairman and CEO of the McLaren Group added: 'This is a very special moment as we officially unveil the team in Valencia today. Vodafone represents only the second title sponsor change in 30 years for the team – something which we as an organization are very proud of.'

Spanish Grand Prix Wrap-Up
A record crowd was on hand to see their king and to show him their support. Fernando Alonso has revived Formula One in the hearts of the Spanish people. Yet despite Alonso's efforts, the crowd willing their champion on, and the apparent home-court advantage, Spain had to crown a Brazilian their king.
Formula One couldn't even be found on Spanish TV until Fernando Alonso came into the series back in 2001. But now after back-to-back driver's championships, if given the word, the people would willingly depose their king and give Alonso the title of Head of State…that is if he ever grew tired of racing.
Coming into Spain, the championship was anything but boring. So far this year Alonso has found himself caught up in a tough fight, a fight to take away his crown. And who says F1 would miss Michael Schumacher? After the last race in Bahrain there was a three-way tie for the points lead, which included Alonso, his McLaren-Mercedes teammate and rookie sensation Lewis Hamilton, and Kimi Raikkonen in his Ferrari.
Despite the tight competition; however, the Spanish GP had the feel of being a virtual lock for Fernando. After all, it's his home grand prix. Nothing could stop him…right? However, either nobody told this to Felipe Massa or he failed to heed the point. For all Alonso strained to do he would still find the Ferrari driver just in front. But once again, the fight up front proved only to be part of the story and the drama throughout the weekend. The race proved to be filled with much drama and many surprises.
Qualifying looked like a race day given the incredible throng of fans surrounding the track. Qualifying, and its new and exciting knock-out format, didn't let the fans down. If anything, it only heightened the drama and anticipation for the race the following day.
Session one meant all of the cars hit the track. All of the drivers began the fight for the all-important grid positions. Before the heat really got turned up in the first round, Scott Speed's qualifying efforts came to a premature end when his engine seemed to die whenever he shifted down. Scott's team would never get his car fixed in time, and despite looking good all throughout practice, Speed's day was done and the American was relegated to the last spot on the grid, 22nd.
Hamilton started the charge bringing the lap times down. Many teams, however, waited to the last few minutes before they sent their drivers out onto the track. But when they did, the action really began to heat up. Another Red Bull sponsored driver, Mark Webber, again suffered from car issues, and thus, would only qualify in the 19th spot. As the session drew to a close many drivers, who needed good laps, started to turn the wick up. Nobody from 13th, or so, back was safe. Ralf Schumacher faced elimination but his fast lap allowed him to jump up into the top 16. This lap result pushed Barrichello out of the top 16. Fisichella, who only went out with some 3 minutes left, put in a lap that saw him leap up to 11th. This pushed Jarno Trulli down to 17th and out of the next round of qualifying...for the moment. The real drama came with both Barrichello's and Jeson Button's last lap. Rubens had been bumped out but recovered and was able to push both Trulli and Button further down for the moment. Trulli's last lap, however, vaulted him passed Alex Wurz and into the eventual 13th spot for the round, which meant Trulli was safe. Button too turned his last lap up a little bit more and unseated Ralf Schumacher who thought he was safely into the next session. So in the end, the drivers who failed to make it to the next round of qualifying were, from 22nd to 17th, Speed, Albers, Sutil, Webber, Wurz, and Schumacher.
The second session was no less exciting. Jarno Trulli and David Coulthard hit the track early. Anthony Davidson stepped off the track and through the gravel. This meant Anthony had to go back to have his car checked for any needed repairs. Shortly after his incident, Anthony's Super Aguri teammate Takuma Sato came to a stop on the track, thus ending his push to get into the last round of qualifying. During this round Hamilton set the fastest time of the weekend; that is, until Massa eclipsed him a little later on in the session. Alonso waited until the last 4 minutes until he went out on track. This did not hold him down since only a couple of laps later he would set the 4th fastest time and safely make it into the final round of qualifying.
Once again, the excitement and drama all built up during the last couple of minutes. Kubica put the hammer down and took over the 6th spot. Anthony Davidson pushed hard but it proved to be a little too hard. The car swapped ends and again traveled through the gravel effectively ending Davidson's bid to move up any further. David Coulthard busted out one more good lap to slide into the 7th spot. And yet, despite pushing very hard Nico Rosberg, Jenson Button, or Rubens Barrichello could not make up the necessary time to advance. The order from 16th to 11th went: Vitantonio Liuzzi, Anthony Davidson, Jenson Button, Takuma Sato, Rubens Barrichello, and Nico Rosberg.
The final ten prepared to do battle in the final session for the best spots on the grid. And there were a few surprises among those that would fight it out. David Coulthard and Heikki Kovalainen were able to make it into the final session for the first time in the season.
All of the cars lined up in the pit lane waiting for the green light and the start of the final session. Each team and driver took advantage of every second to burn down fuel since the rules stated those who would make it to the final round of qualifying had to at least start the final session with the fuel load the driver would start the race with. Therefore, each driver took to the track to burn down fuel to make the car as light as possible toward the end of qualifying. The cars continued to circulate, but in the closing moments the intensity rose and the nerves stood on edge. The race for the pole really began.
With a little over three minutes remaining the darling of the home crowd, Alonso, set the fastest time. The crowd understandably erupted in a roar. With one minute remaining Hamilton started what was the final race for the top spot. Lewis couldn't dethrone Alonso's earlier time, and for a moment, sat in 2nd. That result was brief as, right behind Lewis, Kimi finished his last lap in his Ferrari. Kimi would overtake Hamilton with the second best time. This pushed Hamilton back to 3rd. Heidfeld finished his lap right behind Raikkonen but couldn't mount any kind of challenge and had to settle for the provisional 5th spot. Trulli eclipsed Heidfeld's time but was immediately eclipsed by the other BMW-Sauber driver Robert Kubica. Coulthard was the next to the line and was able to jump up to the 8th spot. Massa followed and set the pole time, beating Alonso's previous best by only two tenths of a second. But the race for the pole wasn't over. Alonso was one of the last cars on the track and he would have the opportunity to take the pole back in front of his home crowd. Alonso's bid looked good. He had set the fastest time in the second sector. Fernando rounded the last corner powered down the straight and…like that, the air went out of McLaren-Mercedes. Alonso's bid for pole came up short by only three hundredths of a second.
Unnoticed, since all eyes were directed on the race for the pole, was that Kovalainen's last lap proved to be enough for him to leap up and take David Coulthard's position in 8th, and thus, push David down to 9th. So, after catching one's breath the order went as follows: Massa on pole, Alonso next to him. Then it was Raikkonen and Hamilton, Kubica and Trulli, Heidfeld and Kovalainen, and Coulthard and Fisichella.
Qualifying only got things rolling. Prior to the race, the grid was a maze of dignitaries and celebrities. Despite starting second, most all of the attention was on the two-time champion, this being his home grand prix. The drama and anticipation that had been building all weekend long grew ever higher when the start had to be aborted as Jarno Trulli's Toyota stalled on the grid due to a struggling engine-driven fuel pump. After the aborted start Trulli's car was pushed to the pitlane. Jarno would have to start from there as the rest of the cars were sent around the track again, and then, lined back up on the grid for the start.
As the lights went out and the scramble for position began, Alonso drafted Massa down to the first turn. Massa stayed wide-right to block and to have position into the first turn, while Alonso pulled out of line to Massa's left. The tow and late braking allowed Fernando to be ahead of Felipe but Felipe's inside line meant he would hold the first place spot. The late braking from Alonso, as well as being on the outside, led to the McLaren slipping off the track and through the gravel trap in what looked like a huge sand storm. Alonso rejoined the track, narrowly being missed by his teammate Hamilton and Raikkonen in his Ferrari. As the first lap unfolded, Alonso's playing in the gravel proved to be only the first of many exciting things to come.
Giancarlo Fisichella was desperate to get past his teammate Kovalainen. In his haste, Giancarlo went off the track and rejoined, but did so while having lost a few spots. But the drama didn't end there for Fisichella. Giancarlo moved down inside one of the Super Aguri's going into the very next corner. This move caused other drivers to check up. Ralf Schumacher checked up just enough to catch Alex Wurz off guard. Alex collided into the back of the Schumacher's Toyota, damaging the front suspension and wing on the Williams. Wurz limped back to the pits with his left-front tire sliding along on top of a piece of wing. Despite making it to the pits, the car was too heavily damaged, and thus, led to Alex's retirement.
Things finally settled down for a few laps, with the exception of Alonso attacking Raikkonen. Massa led Hamilton. After Hamilton the rest of the top ten were Raikkonen, Alonso, Kubica, Heidfeld, Coulthard, Kovalainen, Rosberg and Barrichello. After about eight laps the excitement and drama picked back up when a slew of cars ran into trouble all at once. The first victim of the fallout was Mark Webber with another hydraulic problem. Immediately after that, Trulli's day ended due to the fuel pressure problems that had plagued the car and had led to the first start being aborted. After Jarno's retirement, Kimi Raikkonen's car fell victim to some sort of electrical problem. While Kimi's car was being pushed down pit road toward the garage, Scott Speed's weekend turned worse when his left rear tire exploded on the front straight. This ended Scott's day.
All during this trouble Massa stretched his lead. It was thought Ferrari would dominate. The week prior Ferrari had dominated at the same Barcelona track. Now, the race seemed to be proving those speculations to be well founded.
The action didn't cease when the first round of stops began. Massa's stress level was possibly highest during his pit stop than out on the track. Massa's car slowly began to roll while waiting for the crewman to remove the fuel nozzle. What fuel that dripped out of the nozzle upon it being removed ignited on the extremely hot exhaust. A huge streak of flame stretched from the fuel port past the rear wing as Massa exited. Having pulled away, the flames extinguished and Felipe went on his way.
During the pit stops Liuzzi's Toro Rosso slowed and barely made it back to the pits. David Coulthard had to do some evasive maneuvering to avoid hitting Vitantonio's car in the entry to pit lane.
As with each previous race, Hamilton had his turn in the lead before making his stop. Upon Lewis' stop, the surprising BMW-Sauber team, with Nick Heidfeld at the wheel, took over the lead. While Nick continued to cycle around the track in the lead, Jenson Button, in the Honda, made his stop and re-entered side-by-side with his teammate Rubens Barrichello. Button lost the back-end a little going into turn one which caused his nose to tag his teammate's rear. While Rubens was fine and continued on, Jenson's front wing had broken off, which led him to have to return to the pits for a new nose.
Most people would say that was enough excitement, but oh no…it wasn't over yet. The teams thought they would do even more to entertain the viewers and the fans at the track. BWM-Sauber thought having the lead wasn't exciting enough. As Heidfeld made his stop the right front tire was not going on properly. The air-gun was still engaged when Heidfeld was given the signal to go. Nick slid to a stop a short distance past his pit but the wheel nut that holds the tire on went rolling down the pit lane. Miscommunication led to Nick continuing back onto the track without the wheel being attached properly. Miraculously, the tire stayed on and let Nick circulate and eventually make it back to the pits. New tires were put on and Nick went on his way, albeit far down in the running by that time.
Finally, after all the chaos that took place around the first stop ended the focus could get back to the boring, old race. After all the stops cycled through, Massa resumed the point and pulled away. Hamilton maintained second. Alonso still languished back in third. The greatest drama on the track came down to the nose-to-tail battle between Coulthard and Kovalainen.
Giancarlo Fisichella led the second round of stops. With 23 laps to go Massa made his final stop and came close to repeating the same problem that ignited during the first stop. Kubica, Coulthard and Rosberg all made clean stops. Hamilton, again, had to relinquish the lead to come in for his final stop and to make the mandatory switch to the harder compound tire since he had been running the softer tire. A couple of laps later, Alonso, having made the decision to switch to the harder tire at the first stop, was fitted with soft tires again with the intention of bringing a fight to his teammate for 2nd before the end of the race. All-in-all, the second round of stops were relatively straight-forward. The top eight to this point were Massa, Hamilton, Alonso, Kubica, Coulthard, Rosberg, Kovalainen, and Fisichella.
Massa walked the last ten laps. Hamilton followed in second but far enough back that only a mechanical failure would have given the Brit a chance at victory. In fact, Massa even dialed down the revs just to make sure the car would make it to the end. The damaged caused to Alonso's car from the run through the gravel at the start seemed to hinder his ability to mount any kind of challenge for Lewis.
Looking further back through the points paying positions, a BMW-Sauber finished 4th again but it was Kubica in the spot instead of Heidfeld. Following Kubica was David Coulthard in the RBR 3. Coulthard had to baby the car to even finish. Red Bull was worried about the reliability of their new seamless-shift transmission. They had David switch to the conventional semi-automatic shifting toward the end of the race to make sure the car would finish. On top of this struggle, Coulthard also had lost the use of one of his gears. Despite this, Rosberg was too far back to overtake and gain the 5th finishing spot. Due to Coulthard's problems Nico made up time fast but still had to settle for 6th. However, this was the best result for Williams since the opener in Australia. Kovalainen and his Renault settled for the 7th spot. Rounding out the points paying spots was a relative surprise. A failed pit strategy, or unmentioned problem, led Fisichella to make a pit stop very late. This surrendered the 8th spot to the Super Aguri of Takuma Sato.
Massa ruled the weekend. Felipe achieved pole, fastest lap of the race and the race win. This was a dominant display from the Ferrari driver. Lewis Hamilton left Spain leading the championship; the youngest ever to do so. Fernando's weekend was filled with frustration. He put on a show, but ultimately had to settle for points instead of a glorious triumph. For some, the weekend proved to be memorable. For the others, the Spanish grand prix ended up being a race they would desire to forget.
FERRARI While Spain would be a glorious triumph, there still had to be some questions following Kimi Raikkonen's failed race. Massa's weekend was one filled with highlights for his portfolio. Felipe did everything he needed and also added some extras, bonuses that went on to prove his dominant performance. Felipe took the pole in dramatic fashion. While all attention was on Alonso, Massa made a statement about his chances and ability. This race, like Bahrain, showed the consistency, concentration and sheer pace Felipe is capable.
Kimi's Spanish grand prix was nothing to write home about. Kimi's weekend turned from good to bad. Raikkonen was near the top of the time sheets all throughout the weekend. Raikkonen qualified a respectable third. However, Kimi's race went bad. If there is a car meant to break Raikkonen will be the one driving it. After years of bad results and failures at McLaren, it is undoubtedly sure that one of the reasons for Kimi's departure for Ferrari was there apparently bullet-proof cars. It doesn't seem to matter where Raikkonen goes. Raikkonen's car inexplicably slowed out on the track. Apparently some electrical problem ended his race.
MCLAREN-MERCEDES This race seemed all about McLaren-Mercedes and Fernando Alonso. The double world champion gave it his all but it wasn't even him that left feeling the best of the two McLaren drivers. Lewis Hamilton's weekend proved to be another solid performance by the rookie. Each and every race Lewis looks more and more like a veteran than a rookie. He continues to amaze and stretch the thoughts about what a rookie should be able to do. In fact, Lewis showed his prowess throughout qualifying being consistently near the top. Hamilton didn't let the pressure get to him in the race either. He got off a good start from the line and slid into second after Alonso's 'off'. He would never put a foot wrong all throughout the race and finished with a very good 2nd.
Alonso's grand prix very well could be described by the term 'hindsight'. There were many moments throughout the weekend where Alonso could go back and tell himself, 'If only I had done this instead, or, If only I had pushed harder here.' Fernando stood on it in qualifying but fell only three hundredths short. Then, in the race, instead of keeping the position behind Massa going into turn one he aggressively tried for the lead. The move failed, and were it not for Raikkonen's troubles, it is doubtful Alonso would have even been able to finish 3rd. No one can accuse Fernando of holding back; that is one thing not in doubt.
BMW-SAUBER Yes, the result is good, but it ought to be like the team who has to run laps after a game because they didn't win by as much as they could have. BMW could have really stunned some people. They could have shown the world how good they truly are. Instead, the team needs to be happy with the result achieved and go home and work on pit stops. Robert Kubica has proven he is getting more comfortable with his car despite having to change his style. He let his rear-end hang out during qualifying and achieved a good starting spot for the race; better than his teammate Heidfeld. Not much was heard or seen of Kubica during the race as he ran a consistent race—no hold your breath moments. Kubica's 4th was the best result for him all season.
Nick Heidfeld's race should have ended better, much better, than it did. Nick was quick all throughout the weekend. Despite being out-qualified by his teammate, a great start led Nick to be up in 6th after turn one. Nick ran fast and even held the lead at one point. But it was his pit stop after being in the lead that led to his race coming unraveled. With the right front tire not being held on by the wheel nut Heidfeld had to circulate the track much slower. He fell way down in the order once he stopped again to have the situation remedied. Eventually, Nick's car slowed toward the end of the race and ended what could have been another promising race.
RED BULL Amidst rumors that he was fighting for a job next year, David Coulthard put together a good result to take into the negotiations. David showed the RBR3 chassis was strong and competitive. The RBR3 was one of the fastest in the speed trap and Coulthard made good use of it. David reached the top ten in qualifying for the time in the season. He made a good start and was 7th in the early going. A good solid drive and some mistakes and failures of others led to Red Bull's best finish of the season so far, 5th.
Mark Webber's weekend was literally stuck in neutral. The problems never hit until it counts. Webber was fine during practice. Qualifying and the race were another matter all together. Mark never got out of the first round of qualifying. In fact, he barely even got out of the garage. He was able to post a lap fast enough to start 19th, but that was it. He barely went any further in the race. Just prior to the first round of stops, Mark's Red Bull-Renault would shift into neutral any time he didn't have the gas pedal down. This situation led to his retirement.
WILLIAMS-TOYOTA It would be easy to think the seasoned test driver would be able to get more out of a car than a sophomore driver. That was not the case in Spain for Williams' two drivers. They could not have been any further to each end of the spectrum. Nico Rosberg's weekend revived his confidence. Rosberg's good result in Australia had yet to be duplicated. However, Nico's qualifying didn't appear to be a sign of the good things to come. At a track where position is of great importance, Rosberg's position on the grid could have kept him out of the points. His race was something entirely different. No doubt helped out by mistakes and attrition, Rosberg still put together a strong race. Nico didn't just get into the points. He finished a very solid 6th, a good result for the Williams team.
While Nico left Spain with confidence, Alex Wurz left possibly worrying about his status as a race driver. Wurz's weekend was a disaster all throughout. At least he was consistent. Qualifying was tough. Alex never could get clear of other traffic. This traffic obviously slowed him down. Things got even worse in the race when he collided with Ralf Schumacher halfway through the first lap. In Alex's defense, it appeared Ralf checked up to avoid hitting one of the Super Aguris. This maneuver, at such close distances, obviously spelled disaster.
RENAULT The most exciting part of the Spanish grand prix for Renault was qualifying. After that, it just turned strange. Kovalainen managed to get into the top ten in qualifying, which was his first time this season. Heikki's race offered a good result. This was badly needed for him. Heikki ran a rather quiet race, but he put in a strong performance and earned a 7th place finish. Still, this is a shock considering this is the constructors champion for the last two years.
If Renault's struggles weren't enough to talk about, then the strange strategy employed for the race would more than make up for any lacking conversation. Renault worked on their car to make it better and it appeared to be. Giancarlo Fisichella put the second Renault in the top ten in qualifying. Giancarlo pushed hard in the race even to the point that he went off the track trying to get by his teammate. Whether the car was damaged or not is uncertain, but from that point on Renault employed a different pit strategy. Unfortunately, this caught Giancarlo too much out of sequence with the other runners. Giancarlo's late pit stop surrendered the final points paying position to Takuma Sato. There seems to be a lot of confusion at Renault right now, it even has affected their pit strategy. What else will get confusing for the team?
SUPER AGURI-HONDA A group of the right people can mean more than a whole lot of able people. Such is the case with Super Aguri. This team continued to surprise the Formula One community. The weekend appeared to be heading toward a result that was nothing spectacular. But oh, how things can change, and in the closing laps too. Takuma Sato had a rather quiet and unassuming weekend. Practice times were nothing exciting. Qualifying went even worse. Sato's car came to a stop in the second round and ruined any hope of a better starting spot. Takuma ran solidly in the race however. He stayed out of trouble and, when Giancarlo had to make a late pit stop, inherited the 8th and final points paying spot. What a result for one of the smallest team in the paddock.
Anthony Davidson has made it clear that his target is his teammate. After the Spanish grand prix weekend, that psychological gap between Anthony and Takuma increased a few paces. Takuma's qualifying ended with apparent trouble with the car. Anthony's qualifying ended due to him having two 'offs' in one session. These run-ins with the gravel hurt his starting spot, and thus, ability to come up through the field. While Sato was able to come forward and gain a point for the team, Anthony finished a quiet 11th.
HONDA When a team is struggling, and Honda is struggling mightily, the last thing the team needs is to have both of its cars come together and potentially knock each other out. It is the ultimate display of how badly things are going. Rubens Barrichello's weekend started out without much of a surprise. Rubens could only make it into the second round of qualifying. The race went a little better however. All throughout the race Barrichello flirted with the top ten. With the help of some attrition and some hard racing he was able to get his Honda into the 10th spot at the end, albeit one lap down. But, things could have been for naught if Rubens' teammate pushed the issue a little more than he did.
Jenson's weekend was indicative of Honda's season. Honda's car could only provide Button enough pace to make it into the second round of qualifying. Button's race also went better until the pit stops. When the team doesn't have the pace to really race faster teams, then the team's drivers will end up racing each other. Jenson pushed hard coming out of the pits in order to get in front of his teammate. Button pushed a little too hard and almost erased any hope the team had of a good result in what has been a difficult season. This cost Button his nose. Jenson would recover; however, but would finish a rather disappointing 12th.
SPYKER-FERRARI A victory to the Spyker team is when both cars finish a race. Straight-line speed has always been a problem for the team, but reliability and driver error had been a bigger problem. Adrian Sutil started the race in the familiar back of the grid. However, Adrian ran a smooth and consistent race. Part of motor racing is being blessed while others seem cursed. And while many other cars were laid waste with attrition, Sutil powered on and would be rewarded with a 13th finishing spot.
Christijan Albers' race was very quiet, just as was qualifying. Not surprising, neither Albers nor his teammate made it past the first round of qualifying. But, for Spyker, qualifying is far less important than merely finishing the race. And like his teammate, Albers took the opportunity to drive a smooth race. Staying out of trouble rewarded the driver. And though Albers too finished two laps down on the leaders, the 14th spot was a great result. Although it doesn't look like it, these results are a great reward for a team merely looking for reliability from both its machines and its drivers.
TOYOTA All that money to look like the biggest bust? At least Spyker, who's barely able to keep competing in F1 finished with both cars running! Ralf Schumacher was the highest finishing Toyota on paper for the Spanish grand prix, but by no means is he really worth what honor that may be. Ralf's weekend was very lackluster. While his teammate was able to start the race from the 6th position, Ralf, in the same car, could not even get into the second round. And while many might have sympathy for his being hit in the back by Alex Wurz, which led to his eventual retirement, there still has to be a reckoning as to how he could have been that far back on the grid in the first place.
Jarno Trulli's weekend looked promising, but just like the other races so far, the race didn't prove the promise. Toyota has shown pace at times but their struggles are just not like what people are used to from one of the largest motor companies in the world. Jarno had a good qualifying but was let down in the race. Fuel pressure problems led to an aborted start and an early exit; such disappointment for a team dearly needing a better result than they have been able to achieve so far.
TORO ROSSO Toro Rosso's weekend proved to be good but it could have been much better. Vitantonio Liuzzi's weekend was suspicious and was a sign of things to come. He had no time in the second round of qualifying and started 16th. The race itself was showing to be better. However, the team's fears about hydraulic problems were visited again. The problem struck Liuzzi's car after only 19 laps.
Vitantonio's race lasted a bit longer than his teammate's however. Scott Speed's weekend started out with such promise. Speed had the 10th fastest time at the end of the second round of practice on Friday. But Saturday was a whole new day and gave evidence to how Sunday would go as well. Gearbox issues right at the start left the American unable to even put in a flying lap. This relegated Scott to the back of the grid. Speed recovered well in the race however. After avoiding the first lap melee, Speed climbed all the way up to 14th. Scott's day was looking good until his left-rear tire exploded down the front straight. What started out looking so good literally exploded into little pieces, just like Scott's hopes.

– A commanding drive to victory at the U.S. Grand Prix gave Sebastian Vettel his eighth win in a row this year and yet another Formula One record, the four-time smashing past Michael Schumacher's 2004 benchmark for consecutive wins in a single season. Crossing the line and close to tears, Sebastian, who finished ahead of Lotus' Romain Grosjean and third-placed Mark Webber, saluted both the achievement and the team. 'We have to remember these days,' he said on the radio...

YEONGAM, South Jeolla, South Korea
– Sebastian Vettel took his eighth win of the year with a controlled drive to the flag at the Korean Grand Prix, his third consecutive victory at the Yeongam circuit.

Formula One: British Grand Prix
Lotus showed strong pace once again during the team's home race at Silverstone, but difficulties on Saturday ultimately kept them off the podium. While the sun came out on Sunday, Friday and Saturday's running was wet and slippery. During qualifying, Romain Grosjean set the fifth fastest Q2 time but then beached his Lotus E20 in the gravel, meaning he was unable to compete in Q3. He started the grand prix ninth, benefiting from Nico Hulkenberg's five place gearbox-change penalty. Kimi was abl...

Sheriff's Department Hosts Seminars for Refugees in the Sacramento Area
Hundreds of refugees from other countries make new lives for themselves and their families in Sacramento every year.
However, many of them have no idea how to interact with local law enforcement.
From Exile to Safety is a program hosted by the Sacramento Sheriff's Department and International Rescue Committee to help refugees settle.
Sacramento Sheriff's Sgt. David Froman says people come here to feel safe and provide a better life for their families.
"One such family, when the country they were fleeing from learned that they were coming to the United States, the husband didn't make it with all of his fingers," Froman said.
The seminars teach those newly arrived to the country how to get an identification card, emergency phone numbers and what to do if you get pulled over by police.
Sgt. Froman says he is happy to help.
"I'm able to help in the way I am, by representing the sheriff's department. And the rewards are ten-fold, in seeing these individuals be successful in our society," he said.
The department dedicates the second Tuesday of each month for the seminar, put on by the International Rescue Committee. Learn more at rescue.org.

We had sweet visits with several different friends...
...and family.
We learned how to play Euchre.
We went up to the mountains for a few days and stayed at a camp where we were able to enjoy fun activities, time together, and beautiful scenery. It was lovely!
A tubing hill, where we rode inner tubes down a fake snow surface. It was great fun!
Zip line!
A few members of the family took an early morning hike up a mountain to watch the sunrise.

keep track of each player's money. In September. Battleship will be zAPPed with special ship pieces that are recognized and tracked by an Apple iPad when placed on the screen. And we can't even begin to imagine what special effects will be on the tablet when a player's Battleship is sunk.
Who knows how far this trend could go? Imagine a zAPPed version of Mystery Fun Date, Mouse Trap or Strat-O-Matic Baseball. Any game that requires dice, split cards or a spinner can be modernized by incorporating the Apple iPhone or Apple iPad into the game play.

Hyundai has just launched a new Equus limousine in its home market designed to appeal to executives that really need extra stretch-out room. The new Equus VL500 has had 12 inches of extra length inserted in between its axles. The extra length means that the already large Equus now bests other competitors like the Lexus LS460L and Mercedes S500L by almost 15 inches in rear leg room.
For those not in a hurry, the new limo uses the Lambda 3.8-liter V6 as the standard powerplant. The new 5.0-liter version of the company's Tau V8 is optional with 394 horsepower. As befits such a ride, the longer Equus incorporates features like power rear footrests and massaging seats. Korean customers can order the factory stretch now at prices ranging from the equivalent of $113,000 to $122,180, but at this time, Hyundai America has no comment about a possible U.S. variant to accompany the previously-announced standard-length model. Be sure to check out the press release and video available after the jump.

The Middle School GymMature
At this point the only hope was that we would find it in the car, later, when it was warm and dry and we could actually give it a good searching. We gave up. Since the car was in driving mode (at least, closer to that than to sleeping mode) we decided we might as well go to the damn middle school gym where it might be warm, and try to sleep there. It would be easier than re-doing the car, plus we still hadn't brushed our teeth or anything, and I was so stiff from the cold that I really couldn't imagine being outside any longer.
Between the two colds, that is... the sickness cold and the cold weather... it was getting extremely hard to breathe. We were so mad at everything. It sucked. So I shoved some things out of the way in my seat, and we started to brave the road.
Remember that guy at the Mexican restaurant who told us about the shelter and gave us directions to it? Yeah. We followed that guy's directions, down the steep slope, safely. The school looked pretty barren though. We got out of the car and walked up closer. It didn't seem right.
It wasn't. It was the high school, not the middle school. That guy had given us bogus directions. Not his fault, but we were still pissed at him. So now we were pretty far away from that one section of town that was right off the highway. But we had to ask someone for directions, and we certainly wouldn't find anyone way out here, so we drove all the way back. On the ice. It was dangerous, yes, but Chris is a wonderful driver, and we made it safely back to another hotel. Chris went in and got directions. Real ones.
We followed THOSE directions, which did indeed lead us to a middle school, which was indeed open. The outer perimeter of the gym was full of people like us, some trying to sleep, some just sitting there, some standing up drinking coffee. It was kind-of warm. But not really warm, because the doors were open. It wasn't freezing though. We went to the bathroom to brush our teeth.
The bathrooms were both horrible. There was no toilet paper, and no paper towels at all. It all sucked balls. So did the bleachers. And the floor was worse. It was too hard. I probably would have stayed and slept in there anyway, but Chris wanted to sleep in the car, because he was sure he wouldn't get any sleep at all in this place. Since I had chosen to not care about anything else at this point, that's what we did.
Walking through the cold again sucked, setting up the car again REALLY sucked, sleeping in the negative degrees sucked, and never having found the Altoids can sucked soooo much... I just can't tell you enough how horrible that was.
Even waking up in the morning sucked, although at least the sun was out and the roads were open. Of course the traffic out of Santa Rosa that morning was horrible, and the roads weren't completely safe again either. We saw tons of wrecks on the way. (mostly Fed-Ex trucks, actually) We ended up bumper-to-bumper every time we passed a wreck, even though by the time we passed them they were all completely out of the road, and not hindering anyone's ability to drive 70 mph. But... you know the idiots....
Well anyway. After all that Santa Rosa bullshit we decided not to stop anywhere until we got to Phoenix. So we drove all day, and we made it to Phoenix. It was 60 degrees there when we arrived. Awesome.
And everything would have been alright in Phoenix, had I not lost that fucking Altoids can.

A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY (if interested)
Rockport has attracted visitors since 1606 when French explorer Samuel de Champlain landed on one of its shores what is now called Whale Cove.
Bear Skin Neck- the town center, is 2 miles away from the cottage. Legend has it that the small peninsula is so-named for menacing bears that early settlers routed onto the neck and hunted in 1700. It got its name after a bear was caught by the tide and killed. Along its small roads there are quaint stretches of old fishermen and lobster-men shacks that have gradually been turned into a tourist attraction of restaurants, shops and galleries.
Your breathtaking view of the Twin Lighthouses of Thatcher's Island, named for Anthony Thatcher, an Englishman whose vessel, the Watch and Wait, was wrecked in a ferocious storm near the island in 1635 on its way to Marblehead from Ipswich, was once the first landfall of steamer ships from England heading for Boston and New York, and is now a popular kayaking destination and has biweekly boat trips from the town port.
Several large beaches are located in the town limits and still more in neighboring Gloucester.
Rockport latest new attraction is Rockport Music's new Shalin Liu Performance Center, which presents renowned classical and pop artists.
The Gloucester Stage Company co-founded by winning playwright Israel Horovitz.
Fast and frequent train service to Boston is also available.

BROOK's boyfriend really is stuck in the 1980s.
Evans has replaced his budgie smugglers that I revealed yesterday with
shiny short shorts last seen on the likes of John Barnes and Alan Hansen
when Liverpool used to win league titles.
To be fair, Thom wasn't only interested in his own swimwear during the couple's
holiday in Italy.
He couldn't resist eyeing up Kelly's bikini through her string vest.

Training and events
Two-Day Workshops
Loughborough University is offering advanced training in the social sciences in five areas, delivered through a series of two-day workshops.
Five free places are available to external students on each course supported through ESRC-funded bursaries, covering the cost of travel, subsistence, overnight stay and course fees.
Aimed at doctoral students and early career researchers seeking to develop their methodological expertise, these courses offer innovative and truly advanced content taught by world-leading academics in the respective methods and fields.
The five courses are:
1. Researching with Children and Young People in Diverse Socio-spatial Contexts
Course date: 24th-25th September 2015
The course will consider the methodological and ethical issues of researching with hard-to-reach groups, such as those with disabilities, and also relationally with young people in their families in international contexts. Day two will focus upon the practical application of innovative methodological techniques in researching with young people.
2. Methodological Implications of Critical Realism: Ontology, Method, and Impact in Sport, Management and Economic Analysis
Next course: 26th-27th January 2017
The course will begin by explaining the theoretical foundations of critical realism as a way of understanding social inquiry and the implications of this for research design. It moves on to discuss the method of retroduction and develop practical ability, through the use of tasks, to design research. The focus of the second day will be on practical applications of critical realist compatible methods in the field of economics, management and sports policy.
3. Methodological Advances in Applied Ethnography
Next course: 1st - 2nd June 2016
The course will begin by concentrating on the application of ethnographic research in a range of settings and interdisciplinary contexts, moving on to innovations in ethnography and a practical session on adapting ethnography for specific challenges. Day two will include exploration of a number of methodological advances in contemporary ethnographic research, achieving impact through ethnographic research, plus a practical session on communicating ethnography to diverse audiences.
4. Advanced Media Content Analysis: Computer Assisted Gathering and Analysis of Texts in Digital Environments
Next course: 20-21 June 2017
The course will begin by looking at gathering data using online resources and will analyse the challenges of conducting content analysis in a digital environment. It will demonstrate the use of data collection open source Web crawler software such as httrack, and optimizing search content engines using Google and Nexis. There will be practical tasks to allow students to apply these techniques. Day two will focus on analysing large sets of data using automated content analysis software, including examining the strengths and weaknesses of applying this method to large datasets via analysis of case studies.
5. Applied Conversation Analysis
Next course: 2nd and 3rd February 2017
This course offers advanced methodological training and shows how the latest developments in Conversation Analysis have led to advances in applied research in medical, legal, welfare and other settings. Attendance will help to develop skills in identifying where and how to focus research efforts, and how to design and conduct a research project so as to ensure that it has impact. Loughborough University has the greatest concentration of leading Conversation Analysis researchers in the UK, including some of the leading international scholars in the field of applied Conversation Analysis.

Come to Lazise for a holiday from MALTA with my family and found this fabulous restaurant. Very excellent food my husband and I took mixed fish platter and the kids a pizza which taste very good and value for money.highly recommended.
We stayed for 3 nights in this area, and ate at this restaurant each night. The food was excellent on all occasions, and they served a variety of Italian dishes, including the best pizza i had in Italy. The restaurant is very warm and inviting, and has a wonderful atmosphere. The staff are very friendly, and the service was very...
Had three course meal with wine, 8 euros for a caraft of excellent house white
Great waiters and reasonably priced.
If we had found before we would have gone twice to this super place we had a table for six all had different meals all were very good
Totally disagree with the review above about not eating pizza here. We live in Italy and come to Garda at the weekends a lot and every Friday night we would stop here for a pizza as the pizza was so good. We have eating a lot of pizza in Italy and this is one of my husbands favorites.
Good food...
The place is nice and service is friendly and fast. However I do not recommend to eat pizza here. The dough had some kind of heaviness (either not fully cooked or not fully raised) and the cheese was anything but 'mozzarella fior di latte' which I expect on a pizza margherita.
A lively bustling restaurant with a beautiful view of the Lake. Food very tasty, large choice of pizzas which are very good value. Mixed grill for two was excellent.
Going here after having the place recommended by an Italian colleague.
And I sure understand why!!
Food is really good, and it's such a nice place to eat. Sitting outside was just perfect.
Only downside: Bread being put on your table before food is being served, without us asking for it. And them being charged afterwards is NOT okay...
I recently visited the restaurant with my partner on multiple occasions as it was in very easy walking distance of our hotel, Parchi Del Garda - which was also fabulous. Diverse menu, speedy service, lovely atmosphere, reasonably price and everything we could have hoped for. What a find! Definitely worth a visit!
Visited the restaurant during our Family vacation at Lake Garda. Nice atmosphere, Food and Service, and suitable for small kids, as they can play in the garden area next to the patio.

GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) — Guyana has signed a $1 billion deal with a Canadian-based company in what the government says is the largest private investment for the South America country's mining sector.
Guyana Goldfields Inc. says Friday's deal is the first large-scale gold mining license that Guyana has issued since 1991. The government says it is expected to create more than 1,900 temporary and permanent jobs.
Guyana's government also has signed a $138 million contract with the China Harbor Engineering Co. to build a new airport terminal and lengthen the runway at the country's principal airport.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) After battling a suburban family for four years over music downloads, the recording industry has agreed to accept $7,000 — paid in installments — to settle its federal piracy lawsuit.
If approved by a judge, the settlement will end a well-publicized tussle that began with five record companies accusing Patricia Santangelo, a mother of five, of illegally downloading and distributing music.
Santangelo, 46, of Wappingers Falls, said she couldn't have downloaded anything because she didn't know how.
At one point during the lawsuit, which alleged the use of file-sharing computer networks, a federal judge described Santangelo as an "Internet-illiterate parent, who does not know Kazaa from kazoo."
Santangelo, one of thousands of people sued in the Recording Industry Association of America's anti-piracy campaign, refused to settle. Instead, she took her case to national news outlets and became a heroine to supporters of online freedom. An Internet campaign raised about $15,000 for her defense.
Her lawyer, Jordan Glass, said Monday that the industry "didn't expect someone like Patti to fight back. ... She was up against billions of dollars of corporate power. They had the money, they had the legal intellect, they had the experience, they had everything. She had nothing."
The industry eventually dropped its suit against the mother. But it filed a new one against two of her children, Michelle and Robert, ages 20 and 16 at the time. The new lawsuit alleged the youths had downloaded and distributed more than 1,000 songs, including "MMMBop" by Hanson and "Beat It" by Michael Jackson.
It said that Michelle had admitted piracy in a deposition and that Robert had been implicated by a family friend. They denied wrongdoing.
Under the terms of the settlement, filed in court in White Plains late Friday, the Santangelos will pay $7,000. They paid half the amount April 20 and are to make six payments of $583.33 by October.
"We are pleased to have reached an agreement with the Santangelos," Cara Duckworth, spokeswoman for the RIAA, said in an e-mailed statement. Asked how much had been spent to win the $7,000 settlement, and whether it was a victory, she said, "We don't break out costs per case, and it's not a question of it being 'worth it' or a 'victory."'
She said the lawsuit had succeeded in showing that breaking the law has consequences and in steering music fans toward legal online services "that fairly compensate musicians and labels."
Glass pointed out that the Santangelos never admitted wrongdoing, and that with both Santangelo children now in college, the settlement offer was accepted to control costs.
"This was preventing the kids from moving on," he said. "Sometimes you reduce the damages so much it's time to call it quits."
Most of the file-sharing networks that were used for downloading and distributing music have been forced out of the business.

Mark Jensen: EUR/USD perception changed
By Mark Jensen
EUR/USD started the week with declines getting farther away from resistance at $1.3450. This probably reflects the pessimism of the market players about the economic data due in the euro area later this week: the region will release flash Q2 GDP and final July CPI figures on Thursday.
According to the consensus forecast, euro area's economic growth pace slowed down from 0.2% to 0.1%. Inflation is expected to remain at 0.4%, far from the ECB's 2% target.
I think that the negative sentiment about euro is combined of 3 things. Firstly, traders think that the ECB will have to start an actual asset-purchase program at some point. Secondly, US yields are higher than those of Germany and this reduces appeal of the euro-denominated assets. And this latter difference in yields comes from the fact that the Fed is closer to raising interest rates than the ECB.
So, you may see how the fundamental perception of EUR/USD has changed over the recent months. In spring euro was supported by the monetary inflow to the euro area. I bet that investment in the region will decline and the funds turn to the US. In addition, the situation in Ukraine has dramatically escalated, and the euro zone is certainly much more exposed to its negative economic impact than the US.
So, as the technical factors point at EUR/USD downtrend, I expect the single currency to depreciate to 1.30 and probably even to 1.28 by the year-end. In the shorter term euro is vulnerable to the risk aversion, worse data from the euro area and better data from the US.
