Bernie ecclestone had been in talks with officials in an attempt to save the race but told German magazine Spiegel that: "After due consideration of their proposal we believe it is regrettably not financially acceptable, so we have terminated our negotiations."

However, while Nurburgring's chances of hosting the race are looking slim, Hockenheim may be asked to fill the void.

"I am doing my best to make sure we have an event in Germany," Ecclestone told theAssociated Press, "but, at the moment, I can't say whether it will be Hockenheim or Nurburgring."

In an additional twist, Pitpass have reported that Jorg Linder and Kai Richter, two businessmen involved with the Nurburgring, are suing the circuit's boss, Karl-Josef Schmidt. The duo allege that Schmidt damaged the negotiations with Ecclestone.

Ferrari have confirmed that their 2013 challenger will be called the F138.

The name is derived from the current year, 2013, and the number of cylinders in the new model, 8.

The car is the 59th Ferrari single-seater to do battle in F1 and will be launched on Friday.

Bernie Ecclestone says that Scorpion Racing will not feature on the 2013 grid despite a late attempt by the team to register.

"I've spoken to them and told them to get in touch with the FIA and ask for an entry," said the Briton.

"They want to buy all the bits from HRT, then form a company and ask for an entry, but I personally don't think it will happen. It's all a bit too late. Maybe they could do it for next year."

McLaren took the covers off a "completely different" MP4-28 at their Technology Centre on Thursday.

Similar in many other ways to its predecessor, Button says he is eager to get behind the wheel for the first time next Tuesday at Jerez.

"The winter has been long but enjoyable," said the Brit.

"But a Formula One driver wants to get back in a car and feel the speed again.

"It's been an exciting few weeks, building the car and finally seeing it as one late last night."

"It may look like last year's car, but under the skin it's completely different.

"That's why it's so exciting. They've changed enough to make a difference.

"You go into the season aiming to win the World Championship and thats's what we are doing."

it looks like they tried to fix the elements of the car that they had problems with last year and evolve what worked well, like that front wing it's completely different to last years one.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
