The yellow bird has arrived ! In victory you deserve Champagne In defeat you need it!
Scars are Tattoos with better stories !
If you follow all the rules You miss all the fun!
If you have no enemies, you have no character !

Haas to have yellow livery for debut season
Posted: 12 Dec 2015 10:13 PM PST
![Yello Haas F1 Team]()
Haas F1 Team looks set to use a yellow livery in their debut Formula 1 season next year.
In recent days, the new American team has been practicing pitstops at its factory with a black-liveried show car.
But La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the actual race livery next year will be yellow, like the Ferrari logo.
Owner Gene Haas, however, rejected claims the team is little more than a Ferrari ‘B team’.
“I keep getting asked that and my answer is unequivocal: no,” said the Nascar co-owner. “Haas has an unique image and we will have our own way of working, even if Ferrari is an important technical partner.”
And team boss Gunther Steiner played down suggestions Haas is skirting too close to the regulations, after Mercedes recently queried the close relationship between the new team and Ferrari.
“We are only doing what is permitted by the regulations,” he insisted.

Rosberg sympathises with Mick Schumacher hype

Nico Rosberg has sympathised with Mick Schumacher, amid the hype surrounding the 16-year-old son of F1 legend Michael.
Fellow German Rosberg, Mercedes’ runner-up driver of 2015 and Michael Schumacher’s former teammate, witnessed the hype first-hand this weekend as young Mick also attended the end-of-year Stars and Cars event in Stuttgart.
“I hope that it [motor racing] remains fun for him, because that is the thing that matters the most,” Rosberg said, according to German media. “It’s very difficult, but the only way for him is to accept the hype.”
Rosberg said he has some understanding of the situation facing Mick, as his own father Keke was also a F1 champion.
But he explained: “He (Mick) has it much worse than I ever did, definitely.
“It’s also understandable that everyone is interested in him,” Rosberg added, referring to Mick who this year made his single seater debut in German Formula 4.
“I think the people around him will be very important, but in this respect he has Sabine Kehm who looks after him really well,” he said.

Pirelli announce tyre compounds for Australian GP
Posted: 12 Dec 2015 10:05 PM PST
![F1-2015-Pirelli-tyre-officially-launched-800x532]()
Pirelli will bring the following three compounds to the opening round of the 2016 Formula One season in Australia:
- P Zero White medium
- P Zero Yellow soft
- P Zero Red supersoft
These are the tyres that Pirelli has said must be used at some point in the race:
- One set of P Zero White medium
- One set of P Zero Yellow soft
Each driver must have both these sets available for the race, and must use at least one of them.
There are the tyres assigned for Q3 in qualifying:
- One set of P Zero Red supersoft
Following on from the 2016 regulations, each driver must save one set of the softest of the three nominated compounds for Q3. This set will be given back to Pirelli after Q3 for those who qualify in the top 10, but the remaining drivers will keep it for the race – as is the case currently.
The teams are free to choose the remaining sets; making up 13 sets in total for the weekend.
