Is finishing a new season of top flight competition on wheels, and as such, is already speculating who will be crowned as champion, even long before the final round is played in Abu Dhabi circuit, where he played 25 points that can support three candidates, but one more than the rest.

The truth is that Fernando Alonso has great potential to be crowned champion of Formula January 2010 and currently has 246 points, an eight on his guard Mark Webber and this, in turn, leads him 7 points to Sebastian Vettel (ie , 15 points behind the Spanish driver)

Who ranks fourth, with negligible chances, is Lewis Hamilton , who could devote only if a miracle (or a string of mechanical failures) occur in the circuit of the heavenly metropolis.

Anyway, it seems to be crowned champion, provided that:

Achieve a tenth place or not getting points, and no more than Webber and Vettel sixth than third place. In addition, Hamilton must win the race.
Finishing ninth, Webber would have to cross the finish line in a place fifth or higher, and Vettel be third or higher.

If you cross the finish line in seventh or eighth position , Webber third and Vettel should not have to win the race.

If Spanish ends in the fifth or sixth place , none of the pilots of the Red Bull team will win the race
Coming third or fourth, will be crowned champion as long as Webber is not the winner (would be second to two points) Finally, a second or first place, would secure the championship.

The FIA ​​has declared legal the reactive system height control that Lotus Renault team is developing to use this 2012 season. The system, though not anything particularly innovative, has attracted much intrigue in recent days after the Enstone based team to try it on tests of young drivers in Abu Dhabi.

As I reported yesterday is mechanical system and helps maintain a standard height of the car in front brakes, the front tends to lean down.

There are two articles in the technical standards that might suggest that the system was illegal, one is 3.15, which says that any system, device or procedure that uses the movement of the driver to alter the aerodynamic characteristics of the car is forbidden, but in this If the pilot does not act on the adjustment of the height of the body, which improves the aerodynamic performance and stability of the car under braking. On the second technical article that the system must meet is indicating that the suspension should be arranged so as to respond only to changes in the loads applied to the wheels, in this case one could argue its legality, and Lotus Renault had to design a system with an operating mode that the FIA ​​has given its approval. The system is reactive braking torque, ie, directly attached to the suspension takes the braking forces causes the plunger to extend hydraulic suspension and keep the ride height. There is an active system, but the suspension reacts to braking torque, not directly to the brake circuit pressure, which would be illegal. Read the rest of this entry »

Fernando Alonso will play the Formula 1 World Championship this weekend in the GP of the UAE . Before him are the two Red Bull, the most powerful cars on the grid, but do not be afraid.

Alonso has already proven more than once that they are not invincible and there is a list of reasons why Fernando will win:

1. Is the pilot who makes fewer mistakes and the best support pressure.

2. Leads the standings with eight points ahead of Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel on 15. The only one who depends on himself.

3. If Mark Webber does not win the title race will pan it almost earned him fourth place.

4. Sebastian Vettel needs to win to keep their options and can become the great ally of Asturias. The victory of Vettel make things easier.

5. Vettel and Webber are not talking . Red Bull has pressured the German to miss if you do not have to. Are supposed to follow orders, but always you can cross the wires . Not the first time.

5. Lewis Hamilton still has a choice, very remote yes, but has warned that trying to win. If Hamilton win would be even easier for Fernando, which earned him fifth place. Lewis made ​​the pole in 2009 in Abu Dhabi.

6. The Red Bull have had many reliability problems this season, especially with the brakes in the desert of the UAE will work to limit the high temperature . If you click again, the title will be the Spaniard.

7. The circuit Yas Marina is well suited to the Red Bull, which in 2009 were double, but this year will feature more battle Ferrari . The track has a slow industry , much like Monaco or Singapore, where the F10 was very competitive and also two long straights where Ferrari can squeeze your speed. The worst sector for Alonso is the first,of fast corners, which imposed the aerodynamics of Red Bull.

Besides being a space for health, exercise and good habits, the gym has become a temple hedonistic social gatherings, moving loads and display of sportswear, which is why they have developed some simple rules and important exercise in style.

1. Comfort
Is the main purpose of the gym? The exercise, therefore comfort is a golden rule in all the clothes we used to go there, we should not confuse sporstwear as a trend in street clothes with garments designed specifically for sports.

2. Tennis
There are plenty of sports shoes, sneakerpedia.com is an example of this. The really important thing when choosing a tennis is that physical training is appropriate for this reduces the risk of getting hurt during exercise is also important to choose a color that is easy to combine with the rest of our sportswear, black color is easy to match any color.

3. Appropriate clothing
Some people choose to wear shorts in denim shirts made at home or with too many colors, I recommend to be very careful and keep the colors to a minimum. Cotton white T-shirts are a good choice but it is important to change frequently as deodorant stains easily, remember that cleanliness is a factor in the aesthetics of a man and stains on the shirts generated aspect of neglect. Nike and Adidas have developed synthetic fabrics such as Dri-FIT ® and ClimaCool ® that through tiny pores allow the ventilation of the skin and sweat expulsion, I highly recommend these garments in solid colors like black, midnight blue, graphite gray, white, green and red, if you suffer from excessive sweating choose dark colors.

This technology can retain 20% more heat than other garments using two systems: a reflective and other insulators. The first, inspired by the special blankets, reflects the body heat generated while dissipating the excess temperature and humidity caused by aerobic activities, maintaining comfort. The second system stands out for achieving the highest rate of the industry in terms of heat retention per gram for synthetic fabrics.

“This is a new step for us. We get our products incorporate the innovative element key to a superior storage temperature over the hour. We learned to develop technologies for clothing, not forgetting fashion trends in colors, patterns and materials”, says Franco Cattarossi, general manager of the brand.

Jackets with exclusive Omni-Heat ® technology were presented at the last Northern Hemisphere winter, being a success in every country in which he was available. This technology in turn can live with others of the same brand as the Omni-Tech ®, making the garments are also waterproof.
