But otherwise you  will lose a lot of time on development of the new car. The more time we  can spend on the wind tunnel the better” said Domenicali. “What I really  want to avoid is another difficult winter like the last two years," he  added.</span> <br /></div><script type="text/javascript"><br />var addthis_config = {"data_track_clickback":true};<br /></script> <script src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=snakenoise" type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> <i style="color: #990000;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> PHOTO GALLERY</span></span></b></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizbDqWIA2IeZn46sMxtyoDojjuylMsrahDP24w-MQCXdKLDmJkAZjoayQAV6X7WGbLkYL5R2E80lTOWhAPSZBw9B-kMTZn8qMeYjuxrPQS5q6dm1Z5g64zPIGb4FyVQc9-RV-XDSNx9Ss/s1600/Ferrari_12_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizbDqWIA2IeZn46sMxtyoDojjuylMsrahDP24w-MQCXdKLDmJkAZjoayQAV6X7WGbLkYL5R2E80lTOWhAPSZBw9B-kMTZn8qMeYjuxrPQS5q6dm1Z5g64zPIGb4FyVQc9-RV-XDSNx9Ss/s400/Ferrari_12_2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigqFl1t7pxAT4tieeyDyt1BiejJirAgCZnlzRCEywQQ1ygsx53Za_q4apzvWKz-uJNKX4PSjBGMVC9E1AVnzBLy-98fZt1aEivZBrkhpmvbgJA11a8TdVequ2RDijXcA1F88jb5LD99CY/s1600/Ferrari_12_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigqFl1t7pxAT4tieeyDyt1BiejJirAgCZnlzRCEywQQ1ygsx53Za_q4apzvWKz-uJNKX4PSjBGMVC9E1AVnzBLy-98fZt1aEivZBrkhpmvbgJA11a8TdVequ2RDijXcA1F88jb5LD99CY/s400/Ferrari_12_3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgUN3QUPFcUclhOn1t80xkA0f2qZa9cqdSnYRxEa649Hoo8C3n_AFyZmS-O8t5KdRU3jP0SB6qYWogkarhABvKrg5BoeA9AhyphenhyphenueJG2A4DCcNQR-XvVJya4iOhmQ-fSTPs54FFqvoppjo4/s1600/Ferrari_12_5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgUN3QUPFcUclhOn1t80xkA0f2qZa9cqdSnYRxEa649Hoo8C3n_AFyZmS-O8t5KdRU3jP0SB6qYWogkarhABvKrg5BoeA9AhyphenhyphenueJG2A4DCcNQR-XvVJya4iOhmQ-fSTPs54FFqvoppjo4/s400/Ferrari_12_5.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMdOSndif_YOPD8q2o4rgbqJJeywrR6MDvnIkifyd-15yalxuyh3gIpebQmj-OpsgPRT3vzPm3fqe6subaqTrkZ23Ppp8JSxzh-pLmV4XBedGNHG2eg_1S2b2SIG6u-SXMSwcgLpWdrdU/s1600/Ferrari_12_4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMdOSndif_YOPD8q2o4rgbqJJeywrR6MDvnIkifyd-15yalxuyh3gIpebQmj-OpsgPRT3vzPm3fqe6subaqTrkZ23Ppp8JSxzh-pLmV4XBedGNHG2eg_1S2b2SIG6u-SXMSwcgLpWdrdU/s400/Ferrari_12_4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Read more In <b><a href="http://carsandtec.blogspot.com/" target="_new" title="cars">Cars</a></b></div>

And this despite the fact that in the 11 first races of the year they have won only once, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">with Fernando Alonso in the British Grand Prix</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> at Silverstone.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Alonso lies fourth at the Drivers’ championship and his teammate Fernando Massa sixth, trailing championship leader Sebastian Vettel by 89 and 164 points respectively with just eight races remaining. In the Constructors’ championship, Ferrari is in third position, with 215 points, trailing Red Bull (383) and McLaren (280).</span><a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2011/08/f1-ferrari-montezemolo-expects-more.html" name="more" style="color: #990000; text-decoration: none;"></a><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Still, di Montezemolo came out with a positive mood after a meeting with team principal Stefano Domenicali, technical director Pat Fry and engine boss Luca Marmorini:</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">“I can see the right spirit in the team after a very difficult start to the season. Domenicali and his crew seem very determined, concentrating on their tasks for the second part of the year which I am sure will feature </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Ferrari </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">in the role of a key player. I expect we will pick up wins to add to the historically very significant victory achieved at Silverstone”.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Ferrari’s boss does have a point since the 150 Italia seems to be much more competitive after recent aerodynamic changes, with Alonso being on the podium in the five of the last six races.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">No one mentioned the championship, though. This, despite the fact that everything is still possible, seems to be going the way of Red Bull –unless McLaren and Lewis Hamilton can prove them wrong. But the Scuderia is satisfied with the progress after its worst start of the year in many seasons –and can surely play a big role in deciding the championships.</span><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiwDeM5AndCtLJZWZ8vUc7Qf7y1R96_Yn3NWeVL5LolC4H4J9yMtuhZNactQL9Mclpl4xJLN2KPJMNHAxPVmD-blCoDU6dLfbhg84mvQKCKWliLMtHJNXQM1AzAwlBnWAgH_0qCIikqFM/s1600/Luca+di+Montezemolo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiwDeM5AndCtLJZWZ8vUc7Qf7y1R96_Yn3NWeVL5LolC4H4J9yMtuhZNactQL9Mclpl4xJLN2KPJMNHAxPVmD-blCoDU6dLfbhg84mvQKCKWliLMtHJNXQM1AzAwlBnWAgH_0qCIikqFM/s400/Luca+di+Montezemolo.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />var addthis_config = {"data_track_clickback":true};<br /></script> <script src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=snakenoise" type="text/javascript"><br /></script>   Read more In <strong><a href="http://carsandtec.blogspot.com/" target="_new" title="cars">Cars</a></strong></div>

Set to debut at </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">the Frankfurt Motor Show</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> in September, it is powered by a 480HP V8 built according to the racing series’ new regulations.</span></div><div style="color: #292929; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">This is the first time that </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">BMW</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> will officially participate in the DTM series since its departure in 1994.</span></div><div style="color: #292929; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">“The DTM comeback sees BMW return to its roots” said member of the board Dr. Klaus Draeger. “We will be facing our main competitors in the premium sector and we are looking forward to this challenge.

The first boosts the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine’s output from 270HP and 320Nm to 355-horses and 485Nm (357.7 lb-ft) through thanks to the updated ECU software, custom exhaust and a new air intake system.</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #292929;
