Hi everyone,

Welcome to another F1 newsletter, catching up with the news from the last few weeks, and a recap of some recent articles on the BellaOnline site.

In the news:

Valentino Rossi got to have a go in the Ferrari this week, with the Italian team giving him a chance in the F2008 around the track at Mugello. Rossi said it was a lot of fun, and it was not about the possibility of a race drive..

BMW tested out their first iteration of front and rear wings that meet the 2009 specifications. Even the drivers admitted they weren’t particularly good looking, but Kubica said things looked better from inside the car.

Both Sutil and Fisichella have said their jobs are perfectly safe at Force India, despite the fact that the team tested out Pedro de la Rosa in Barcelona. The McLaren tester was last on both days but said that was about as fast as the car could go.

Formula One Teams Association
http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art58100.asp
It’s unusual for F1 teams to agree on anything, let alone get a unanimous decision. But all ten constructors were in favour of setting up this new association, so let’s take a look at what it’s all about.
