Forza..(forward in Italian )means always innovating,new ideas and technology to go that much faster ...................................................................................Racing News..................................;MARANELLO, Italy — Ferrari announced Tuesday that it has extended Felipe Massa's contract through 2010. Massa has been under contract with Ferrari since 2001 but he just began driving for the team in 2006. "This shows the team cares about me, about my work," Massa told a news conference in Brazil. "We had the deal all-but-signed two weeks ago, so I didn't have to worry about any rumors. The public turmoil in the McLaren camp regarding the relationship between Fernando Alonso and first-year driver Lewis Hamilton has led to speculation that Alonso would move to Ferrari next year. In 34 Formula One races with team Ferrari, Massa won five times and secured eight pole positions. Going into the season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix this weekend, the Brazilian driver is #4 in standings with 86 points, 14 behind his Ferrari teammate Kimi Raikkonen and 21 behind leader Hamilton of McLaren-Mercedes. "It was very nice to extend my contract with Ferrari for three more years," Massa told Brazil's Globo TV. "I'll keep working hard and continue fighting for victories and maybe championships"...INDIANAPOLIS — The one thing that was constant in the seven years since the United States Grand Prix came to Indianapolis has been Michael Schumacher. The German ace drove his Ferrari to five victories and two runner-up finishes on the road course at the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway.an amazing achievment. But now that seven-time Formula One champion Schenker is retired to a consulting position with his former team, the door is open for another driver to put make his mark on this event. "This was Michael's track," said two-time F1 champion Fernando Alonso. "Now, it could be much more of a race for everyone." Alonso and Mercedes McLaren teammate Lewis Hamilton, a 22-year-old rookie who has taken F1 racing by storm, are the favorites heading into Sunday's 73-lap event on the 2.605-mile, 13-turn circuit. Hamilton, showing no respect for his elders, outran Alonso and Ferrari drivers Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen on Saturday to win his second pole in a row. "Getting my second pole is even better than last week," said Hamilton, the first black race driver in F1 history. "When the team told me I had P1, I again screamed in my helmet and just through the whole lap. I was just extremely ecstatic." After Massa and Raikkonen took the top two spots briefly with about 4 minutes to go in the 15-minute final qualifying heat, Alonso jumped to the top with a lap of 1 minute, 13.500 seconds. Seconds later, Hamilton took the top spot at 1:13.385 and stayed in front to the end, posting a final lap time of 1:13.331 to wrap up his second F1 pole in only his seventh try. The pole was unexpected since Alonso had been faster than Hamilton in two days of practice runs, but Hamilton, who keeps one-upping himself, said it was just hard work paying off. "I was quite surprised (to win the pole), to be honest, mainly because it's my first time here," the young Brit said. "I haven't really been performing as good as Fernando has. But, going into qualifying, just throughout the whole weekend I'm always trying to find that little bit more, little bit more. And each time I go out I improve and improve." "Experience is everything here. The more I get out on the track, the faster I get." That's not good news for both his teammates, whom he leads by eight points in the season standings, and Massa and Raikkonen, who hope to challenge the McLaren drivers on Sunday. Alonso, who switched from Renault to McLaren over the winter, has raced here four times - with last year's fifth his best finish. But, even after losing the pole to Hamilton, the Spaniard remained going into the race. "Yeah, it's been a good weekend for me, no doubt. I was fastest in every session but not the important one," he said "But being fastest all weekend gives me a lot of confidence for tomorrow. ... I think for tomorrow we can have a strong race and I'm totally confident." Massa, second to then-teammate Schumacher last year, and Raikkonen, who took over Schumacher's vacated spot at team Ferrari, will start right behind the McLarens in row two. After a disappointing showing in Canada, where Massa was disqualified for running a red light in the pits and Raikkonen finished fifth, both remain hopeful Ferrari can regain its Indy dominance once again. "We are better than we were in Canada," said Massa, who like Alonso has two victories this season. "For sure, we are a bit closer (to McLaren), but not enough. We need to be in front, not close. "We have some ideas, you know, in the car, in the aerodynamics, in the engine just to improve the situation. But we need to do (it) as quick as possible. Starting in the second row is not a disaster, but we know McLaren is going to be strong in the race, as they have been in every session. We'll just have to fight."Free ferrari stickers..paste this..your welcome!."http://www.shell.com/home/us-en/html/iwgen/motorsport/app_ferrari_stickers.html
