People sometimes ask if I?ve noticed things on the show that have been edited out. This past week gave an example of that being the case. You may remember the drama surrounding Dustin Neace mistakenly flipping out on Akira Corassani after Josh Ferguson stole his cowboy hat. What I wish they would have showed was [...]

Fernando Alonso got the opportunity to drive the new Ferrari F150 following its launch on Friday (28th Jan’11), while Felipe Massa took over duties on the second day yesterday, around Fiorano circuit in Maranello.
On this second day of acquiring footage of the car?s new livery for advertising purposes, the Fiorano Track opened its gates to a section of the fifteen thousand Scuderia Ferrari Club members. ?I would like to thank all of you for having coming all the way here to give us your passionate support,? said Stefano Domenicali as he got the day underway by addressing the crowd.
?Last year, on the day we won at Monza, feeling this wave of affection from all of you was a great motivating force as we fought our way back and we hope to give you something back this year with a championship title, something that we missed out on in Abu Dhabi by the smallest of margins. This car is dedicated to celebrations for the 150th anniversary of Italian Unification because it is part of our makeup to feel pride in representing our country all over the world. Even if we have team-members who come from many different countries, starting with a Spaniard like Fernando and a Brazilian, albeit with Italian origins, like Felipe, we have a strong desire to hold high the national flag which is now seen in all its glory on our car.?
-Stefano Domenicali
A day of red hot enthusiasm at Fiorano
“Over a thousand people braved the cold and damp this morning to see the Ferrari F150 and the Scuderia?s full complement of drivers from Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa to Bianchi, Fisichella, Bertolini and all the youngsters from the Ferrari Driver Academy.
The weather was definitely not at its best, with a bit of sleet in the early hours of the morning making the track damp and temperatures were even lower than yesterday, so that Felipe Massa only did just over sixty kilometres at the wheel of the F150.”

Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel presented their 2011 car, the RB7 to the media at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, Spain on 1 February 2011.
Chief technical officer Adrian Newey explained some of the changes from the championship winning RB6 and the new RB7:
?Preparing for the new season has been an interesting challenge for all of us,? he says. ?There have been a number of changes to the regulations and while they are not as comprehensive as the changes for 2009, the major differences ? such a the re-introduction of the KERS system and the arrival of a moveable rear wing to aid overtaking ? have meant that RB7 is quite different to last year?s car.
?However, what we have done is taken the philosophy of continuing evolution. We have evolved RB6, which itself was an evolution of 2009?s RB5, and this is, if you like, the third generation of a successful lineage.?

Red Bull RB7 ? Open Fronted Exhaust Blown Diffuser (Scarbsf1′s Blog)
“Despite rule changes Newey has found the loophole that allows exhausts to blow inside the diffuser for more downforce. Although the rules were revised for 2011 to try to prevent double diffuser and openings to allow the exhaust to blow inside the diffuser. The rules did permit openings in the outer 5cm of the diffuser, an area where teams have recently split the floor and created raised lip, coincidentally a practice first exploited by Newey on the RB5.”

Dana White spent time in New York this week, surprisingly he sat down with officials from Showtime.
The UFC president has repeatedly gone on record saying he doesn’t want to deal with the network, but now that Ken Hershman, Showtime’s former Executive Vice President and General Manager of Sports & Event Programming, has left for HBO, new doors could open.
Yesterday, White teased fans and the MMA media by suggesting something new could be on the horizon.
We checked in with Yahoo! Sports’ lead MMA writer Kevin Iole to find out what he’s heard about the latest round of talks between the promotion and the network. It was believed that the two would be going their separate ways after the Strikeforce deal is finished, maybe not.

 The Mercedes pit crew prepare for Michael Schumacher in Singapore |
Away from the world of multi-million-pound car development laboratories and drivers whose small change takes care of the Monte Carlo harbour fees, another drama will play out in Singapore this week. The Independent’s David Tremayne joins F1′s unsung heroes.
These are not select millionaires but up to 16 ordinary, yet gifted, guys; team mechanics who have worked their way up the system and often migrate from team to team, are paid real-world wages of between £30,000 and £50,000 a year, are drilled to perfection ? and whose split-second synchronisation brings their teams huge rewards.

Anderson Silva has stayed mostly quiet this month after Chael Sonnen’s call-out at UFC 136, along with Sonnen’s additional ramblings in numerous subsequent interviews. However, in a new interview with Brazilian journalist Marilia Gabriela (translated by Tom Mendes at BloodyElbow.com), Silva commented on Sonnen’s constant verbal antics, and said Sonnen “doesn’t deserve” to fight him:
“I didn’t get to where I’m at by being arrogant or provoking someone. By doing these antics he ends up denigrating the image of the sport. There’s no room for that in this sport. The most important thing he did not do, which was to beat me. He even failed in a drug test, which is worse.”
