12 May 2011

Details have been confirmed about a Greek Formula 1 circuit that is due to be constructed in the Peloponnese, with plans finally coming into fruition after long-term discussions. The construction - which must be permitted by the government - is due to take three years and will be situated exactly 20 kilometres south-east of Patras.

"According to the study, the track will be able to host Formula 1 cars, Super bike and Go-Kart racing," the Regional, Development and Competitiveness Ministry explained in a statement this week.

"After the completion of the investment, 497 new job positions are expected to be created and a significant boost to tourism the in the region."

Last year Greece received a loan of 110 billion euros (94 billion pounds) to help ease the pain of a severe financial crisis, with the new circuit estimated at a cost of 95 million euros (82.6 million pounds).

Zasto su to uveli, nisam upratio?

RAZOČARAVAJUĆI početak sezone u Svjetskom prvenstvu Formule 1 poslom je platio Ferrarijev tehnički direktor Alberto Costa koji, ipak, ostaje u kompaniji na još nepotvrđenom drugom odgovornom mjestu.

U nizu strukturnih promjena u momčadi mjesto direktora šasije uručeno je Patu Fryu, dok će Corrado Lanzone biti odgovoran za produkciju. Vodstvo motorskog i elektronskog odjela momčadi i dalje je u rukama Luce Marmorinija.

Sva će trojica direktno odgovarati šefu momčadi Stefanu Domenicaliju.

U konstruktorskom poretku nakon pet odrađenih utrka Ferrarijeva momčad zauzima treće mjesto sa 75 osvojenih bodova. Vodeći Red Bull ima ih 185, a drugoplasirani McLaren -Mercedes 138.
