YOUNG GUNS


Dean Stoneman is a 24-year-old from Southampton, who

will race for DAMS, with Red Bull backing, in this years

Formula Renault 3.5 Championship.

Who is he?A HGV-licence holding, title-winning former powerboat racer

who has recently been signed by Red Bulls young driver

programme after working his way up the junior single-seater

ladder for a second time.

Whats he been doing recently?Stoneman was on the cusp of F1 at the end of 2010, after

winning the now-defunct FIA Formula 2 Championship. That

earned him a test with Williams, and helped him secure a

top drive in Formula Renault 3.5 for 2011. But in January

that year he was diagnosed with testicular cancer, and

forced to stop racing to focus on his treatment. While

recuperating, Stoneman switched to powerboat racing,

winning the 2012 P1 Superstock UK title. He returned to

the circuits in 2013, winning races in the Porsche Carrera

Cup GB, before a late call-up to contest the final round of

the 2013 GP3 Series in Abu Dhabi. He took a podium in the

second race, which secured him a full-time 2014 GP3 drive.

How good is he?Good enough to impress Red Bulls talent spotters. He took

ve wins and nished second to Alex Lynn in GP3, despite

an enforced late-season team switch after Manor Marussia

collapsed. His performance against Lynn impressed Red Bull,

who snapped him up to their young driver squad, placing him

with DAMS in Formula Renault 3.5 for 2015.

Will we see him in F1?Stoneman has got where he is due to his skill and resilience.

And Red Bull backing will surely open doors in the future.

Finding the stars of tomorrow, today

Renault consider new

partnership as Red

Bull tensions simmerAs Red Bull let rip following their poor performance at the

Australian GP, Renault weigh up their future options in F1

Red Bull blame the Renault power unit

for their poor performance. Below, they

are passed by junior team Toro Rosso

WorldMags.net

F1 BANTER

Weve got one of these in our ofce. When

I catch him in the act Ill

The issue at hand is not an inconvenience in your

ofce conveniences, but part of a package of

blue-sky ideas to improve the show, discussed

during a crunch meeting of team bosses called by

Bernie Ecclestone.

I see. So what functions have sprinklers to play

in the ongoing health of our favourite sport?

Wet races can often be exciting and

unpredictable. So why not host a grand prix

in articially wet conditions?

Surely what makes wet races so exciting is

the unpredictability? If the teams know whats

coming, theyll soon get their heads around it.

Quite so.

Any other great ideas?

Some events should take Grand Slam status and

at every race ten points should be awarded for

pole and ten for the win, but the polesitter would

start 12th. The rest of the grid would be random.

Ye Gods! Have they been at the gin again?

Thats almost as crazy as getting drivers to

pick their grid number out of a bowl.

They used to do that in the British Touring Car

Championship until one driver fessed up to

peeping and drawing pole position for himself.

Im not sure Ill survive this lunacy.

How about a separate women-only F1 support

series, to run on grand prix mornings?

Welcome to the 20th century, Bernie. Trouble is,

everyone else is in the 21st. What about women

competing on equal terms?

Michle Mouton, head of the FIAs Women and

Motor Sport Commission (and former World Rally

Championship event winner), agrees: We have to

promote the fact that motorsport is open to all,

with the same prospects and potential to succeed.

Well kick that idea into the long grass, then.

Dont trip over the hose if you go looking for it.

Do say: My Team-Mate Drew Pole Position And

All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt.

Dont say: Get the kettle on, luv.

Adrian Sutil is still seeking a seat in F1, but has

won a temporary reprieve thanks to Williams

COLUMN

THEDRIVERS WIFEIts the end of an era

Statement on behalf of Adriana Oliveira dos Santos:

Ms Oliveira wishes to state that with great regret and immediate

effect, she will no longer be sharing her wisdom in F1 Racing.

After a period of intense work, Ms Oliveira is suffering from

exhaustion. She is receiving the best medical care in her native

Brazil and her team of doctors have prescribed complete rest.

Ms Oliveira is concerned that her many millions of fans

worldwide might feel confused and abandoned as a result of

her sudden absence and she would like to express her profound

regret for any suffering she has caused and reassure them of her

eternal adoration. As soon as her health improves, Ms Oliveira

will be releasing a book of poetry to convey the full spectrum of

her devotion (Available in bookshops and on Kindle, Kobo and

iBooks from August 2015).

Ms Oliveira would like to take this opportunity to afrm that

she is passionately committed to her husband and their bond

is as strong as ever. Any and all speculation surrounding her

marriage is unfounded, hurtful and not helpful to her healing

process. The couple request privacy at this time and will make

no further comment.

Ms Oliveira would also like to state that recently published

paparazzi photos of her on the beach at her healing retreat

violated her privacy, and the stress has set her recovery back

by weeks. She was not cavorting but undergoing an intense, if

unconventional, physiotherapy session, and the photos showed

her therapist and not an international football star as claimed.

Ms Oliveira begs you to continue to read F1 Racing, but

sympathises that without her sprinkling of glamour, it will be

an altogether more ascetic experience.

I have been instructed by Ms Oliveira to send you besos.

You can follow Adrianas day-by-day recovery on Twitter and

Instagram. Keep an eye out for the full story to be released on

Netix: Adriana My Body, Your Body.

DRIVERS GET EXTRA ENGINE

F1 drivers will be permitted to use ve, rather

than four, engines this season before being

penalised. Manufacturers have agreed to the

compromise deal, yet to be rubber-stamped

by the FIA, after several manufacturers

struggled with early season reliability issues.

MERHIS FUTURE

Roberto Merhi could remain at Manor

Marussia for the full 2015 season after

impressing the team in early races. The

Spaniard signed a late deal for the opening

races of 2015, and claimed a solid nish on

his race debut in Malaysia. He will most likely

need to nd further funding to keep his seat.

NEWS

German GP off calendar

for first time since 1960Financial difculties mean the Nrburgring is unable to host its

contracted race this year and Hockenheim is unwilling to step in


Hockenheim bosses declined to host this

years German GP, fearing signicant losses

MALAYSIA EXTENDS

The Sepang International Circuit will remain on

the F1 calendar for a further three years, after

circuit chiefs signed a deal that extends its

hosting rights until the end of 2017. The venue

has been on the calendar since 1999.

BELGIAN GP

Off the calendar: 2003, 2006

Spa was axed from the 2003

calendar due to a planned

Belgian ban on tobacco

advertising, but returned in

2004 when the country

postponed the law. The race

also skipped 2006 due to

nancial issues with investors.

Spa returned in 2007, following

substantial upgrade work.

THREE CLASSIC RACES THAT CAME BACK

CANADIAN GP

Off the calendar: 2008

Montral fell off the calendar

after circuit ofcials failed

to reach a nancial deal with

Bernie Ecclestone for 2008. After

much wrangling, the popular

event returned for 2009, and has

remained on the schedule since.

AUSTRIAN GP

Off the calendar: 1988-1996

and 2004-2013

The sterreichring was dropped

post-1987 due to safety

concerns, but returned in 1997

as the shortened A1 Ring. It

was dropped again in 2004

due to tobacco advertising

issues. Red Bull later bought

it and revamped the facilities,

prompting F1 to return in 2014.

FORCE INDIA UPGRADE DELAYED

Force India wont launch a B-spec of their

2015 chassis at least until the Austrian GP in

late June. The teams 2015 car was delayed

after switching to Toyotas windtunnel

in Cologne, and deputy team principal

Bob Fernley had been aiming to launch

a signicant upgrade at Monaco in May.

Double world champion Mika

Hkkinen has been advising his

young compatriot since 2008 and,

as he tells F1 Racing, he knows

Bottas is the real deal

It takes many years of

development to become a world

champion and how this young man is

developing inside will be the dening

factor in how he succeeds. He has

the quality of being able to listen to

information and develop it in a way

that he can use. So absolutely he

has talent and intelligence he has

tremendous mental strength, in fact.

Everybody makes mistakes and

it does not mean when you make

mistakes that you are not strong

mentally. Mistakes happen because

you are taking risks, because you

want to show the world that you are

the fastest in the world. If you learn

from your mistakes you are on the

way to becoming one of the best.

Valtteri puts the car on the limit

and takes risks when the time is

right. Sometimes if you take a risk,

you end up on the wrong side of the

white line, but you learn from it and

come out stronger.

He has this inner condence

and even if he goes off, he doesnt

get depressed. He comes back and

says: I know what I did and it wont

happen again. He understands why

it happened.

You have to push to the limit, but

take risks in a calculated way. When

you fail, youve got to be strong

enough to face up to it. And

Valtteri is strong enough.
