BMW and other teams will mostly experiment with the new "nose-hole" technology following Ferrari,which did it in the last race in spain.However Ferrari says that it would not use the shark mouth style feature in front driver's position for all the races in this season.And BMW's technical director Willy Rampf confirmed that they would use a similar concept in a trial team's Hinwil wind tunnel in the coming days.


"I am almost certain that it would also work on some of the other cars so we will have a look," Rampf is quoted as saying by Switzerland's Motorsport Aktuell publication.




 

Heidfeld was doing good till 22nd lap where Mclaren's Hekki kovalainen hit a tyrewall and a safety car had to be employed.According to this new rule the pit lane is closed for the first few laps of any Safety Car period and any driver who pits during the period receives a 10 second stop-and-go penalty.Unfortunately the crash happened to be just before Heidfeld's first pit stop.He had to choose between running out of fuel and getting a penalty.He choose to pit and refuel and got a ten second penalty and then dropped to back.He says in his website that his engineer asked him to pit but by then he had passed the pit entry and then safety car was deployed and the pit lane was closed and he had his race messed up for no mistake of his.

"For weeks we have talked and tried to find a better solution. Luck or bad luck should not play a role in Formula One. But right now this rule exists and therefore it was logical that I had to serve a stop-and-go penalty." says Heidfeld.He also said "i always thought that this rule was stupid".
