Jordan hit hard with third car ban

Six sets of tyres for Montagny in practice



The Jordan Grand Prix team will not be allowed to run a third car on Friday at the Canadian Grand Prix after using too many tyres in Friday practice at the Nurburgring, F1Racing.net has learned. Franck Montagny was at the wheel of Jordan's third car this afternoon and ran on six different sets of tyres during the two sessions while the rules say the third driver can use only four sets.

Montagny himself is not being punished for the infringement as he was not aware of what was going on but the Jordan team will not be able to use a third car in Canada after it was deemed they had gained an advantage at the Nurburgring.

Bridgestone: "We Think We Might Have Found Something"


As Michael Schumacher flew to North America on Monday evening, Bridgestone prepared to test a brand new tyre for him to race at Montreal next Sunday.

''We think we might have found something,'' a Bridgestone spokesman told the Daily Telegraph newspaper.

It'll be put through its paces at Monza, while Ferrari also intend to test in England.

''We have a lot of bits to try,'' team principal Jean Todt admitted, ''a lot of tyre testing. Our tests are always big but the important thing is that the result is big.

''We are starting too low on the grid, but I am optimistic that things will soon change.''

The Frenchman even admitted that defending Ferrari's championships now appears difficult. ''We are clearly not favourites,'' said Jean Todt.

''But one needs to be careful of making final predictions.''

This week's testing should give us a pretty good picture on the newly found "something". I sure hope Ferrari start winning races tho. I am disappointed race after race (I guess this is what it feel like to be fans of other teams for the past 5 years)

Speaking of testing, here are some pics from Silverstone and Monza:


Lets start with Ferrari:

This is the new Aero package that will be used at Canada; the rear end is all new, as is the engine cover. Also, if you look carefully you'll see that the right mirror is way up high (odd, I know). There are some other less visible modifications too, like the slightly different sidepods and bargeboards. And then there's the new non tobacco livery, which is dreadful...

And for the U.S. GP, an evolution of the 055 engine will be used. Ah, and for Canada Brigdestone will bring a new tyre. :)



The new tyre warmer or oven, which was used at the 'Ring:

There are so many wings :shock:

does this mean I can expect a Shumi win?

Hopefully. :D

But not likely

We'll see. :D Ferrari has always been strong at Montreal, but this year things are a lot tougher.

^^^
ralf as always been strong @ montreal, he just can't finish.
last year sato was super quick also,
can't wait to see what happens this year.

you going?

maybe, u never know...are u making the trip

The trip will be very worth going if Schumi wins ........ (still be worth going if not, but can't afford it <sigh>)

I have been making the trip for like the last 8 years :D

it seems that only grand stands 22 and 24 are available...but if I come in a wheelchair I can get tickets for 31a
