Pedrosa hopeful of Estoril fitness
Dani Pedrosa hopes that his recent collarbone injury will not inhibit his performance at this weekend's Portuguese Grand Prix. The Honda rider finished second last time out at Jerez, despite suffering from the injury, and has since had an operation to decompress his left subclavian artery, leading to the Spaniard doubting his own fitness level ahead of the Estoril race.

Nieminen Notches Another
Round Five of the iRacing.com World Championship Series Road Racing (iWCSRR) paid a visit to the twisty and dusty turns of the Infineon Raceway, where Jesse Nieminen jumped his way to the front of the pack to claim his third victory of the season. The My3id Team sim-racer started from the second row of the grid in fourth position, and by the time the first round of pit-stops arrived, Nieminen was up to third position, after capitalising on an error by Ilkka Haapala. This is when the Finn launched his Williams-Toyota FW31 into the lead, as a hair-raisingly fast entry to pit lane and subsequent high-speed service brought him out alongside erstwhile leader Luca Masier and ahead of Greger Huttu, who’d over-shot his pit box. ?Everyone pitted on the same [...]

Mercedes says China pace was genuine
Mercedes GP can target a repeat of its strong Shanghai performance in next week's Turkish Grand Prix, providing it can once again make the most of the speed that it believes is locked away inside its W02 car. That is the view of Mercedes motorsport boss Norbert Haug, who thinks that what the team delivered in China - when Nico Rosberg led the race for many laps and fought for a podium finish ? is achievable on a regular basis now. However, with the team having endured mixed fortunes in the first two races of the year, Haug believes that delivering such form consistently will be down to whether the Chinese GP performance is proof the outfit now understands how to get the best out of its car.

Mercedes-Benz and Toyota plants halted by tornado outage
Filed under: Etc., Plants/Manufacturing, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota
Tornadoes are wreaking havoc in the southern United States, causing Mercedes-Benz and Toyota to put the brakes on production at each of their respective Alabama manufacturing facilities. Mercedes-Benz builds GL-Class, M-Class and R-Class vehicles in Tuscaloosa, while Toyota's Huntsville plant produces V6 and V8 engines for the Tundra and Tacoma pickup trucks and the Sequoia sport utility vehicle.
Both facilities are closed at the moment, and power outages are affecting many areas in the South. Reps for Toyota and Mercedes have stated that their plants will remain closed through the weekend.

Activists hope Bahrain is not reinstated
Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has been urged not to reinstate the Bahrain Grand Prix to the world championship calendar until the Gulf State's political situation has returned to normal. With ongoing conflict between the authorities and pro-democracy activists, and the island under a State of Emergency, there already appears little chance of this year's Bahrain GP getting rescheduled.

Lotus technical chief Mike Gascoyne said the Malaysian Grand Prix marked the first time that the squad could really start racing its rivals, after an encouraging run to 15th for Heikki Kovalainen. Although the Finn did not manage to beat any of the established teams, he had sufficient pace to keep the likes of Toro Rosso, Force India and even Mercedes in sight at times. "Overall our pace was very good at the end, particularly when we were with the leading cars, and we were very close to passing one of the Toro Rossos as we came over the line which shows how we have progressed," said Gascoyne.

Hot Wheels to attempt World's Longest Jump at Indy 500 [w/video]
Filed under: Motorsports, Videos, Toys/Games
We all did it as kids - grabbing one end of an impossibly long stretch of plastic track, heaving it up and attaching one end to the highest object we could find (usually a door) and creating a ramp at the other end with a carefully planned trajectory to score the longest possible airborne distance, then finally setting our favorite Hot Wheels car on a journey of no return.
Team Hot Wheels, a newly created group of stuntmen and extreme sports addicts, are setting out to recreate those childhood memories in the real world. To get there, the group is assembling a 100-foot-tall starting ramp in the shape of a door that leads to - you guessed it - a giant jump. The resulting flight has a goal of reaching 302 feet, which would be a new world record distance.
We don't know who's piloting the machine just yet (we suspect we'll find out for sure if it's an official record). In any case, it's the actual off-road truck, which features rear fins reminiscent of a '59 Cadillac, and the giant Hot Wheels V-Drop replica track that are the real stars here.
Are you asking yourself why Hot Wheels is going to all this trouble to promote kids toys? Well, therein lies the issue. These don't have to be just toys for kids - Hot Wheels is hoping to attract the attention of adults (males mostly, as you'd imagine) that grew up with these little cars and have fond memories of them. Collectors, take note.
Click past the break for a little teaser video of the event that's scheduled to take place on Sunday, May 29th. You'll also find the complete press release for your reading pleasure, if you're so inclined.

But despite that success, and the fact that neither McLaren nor Ferrari have yet been able to launch a serious challenge on victory, Red Bull Racing thinks it needs to fear what its main rivals can do

Jenson Button said his run to second in the Malaysian Grand Prix was both confusing and intriguing as he managed his tyres impressively to come through to the runner-up spot.

"It was a really confusing race in a way, understanding or trying to understand the pitstops and whether it is worth looking after the tyres or not, so pretty tricky," said Button
