Eau Rouge will still be flat – Vasselon

Written by

From: f1-cockpit.blogspot.com

Toyota’s chassis chief Pascal Vasselon expects Spa’s legendary Eau Rouge corner to be negotiated comfortably flat-out at this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix despite the reduced downforce of the 2009 cars. The rollercoaster-like left-right-left sequence is Formula 1’s most celebrated corner and the visual highlight of the 4.4-mile circuit in the Ardennes forests. But steady increases in tyre performance and downforce have blunted its challenge, and the once-daunting swerves have routinely been taken flat-out for several years. There were hopes that aerodynamic restrictions introduced this year would restore Eau Rouge to its former status as F1’s ultimate test of bravery, but Vasselon believes that is ... Read Full Story

Linked from http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?PO_ID=40205 --- Pascal Vasselon admits Toyota must start converting its improved pace in to points finishes after a disappointing sequence of race results. The Japanese manufacturer squad has failed to score a point since the US Grand Prix in June despite its TF107 having the speed to solidly qualify in the top 10 in each of the last three races. And while Ralf Schumacher was bumped out of a points finish by BMW’s Nick Heidfeld at the Nurburgring, team-mate Jarno Trulli finished last of the classified runners after the team made several tactical miscalculations in the rain-hit race.
