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.

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
