Hamilton: One day a woman will kick a*se in F1

Reigning Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton has waded into the sport's sex debate in suggesting that one day a female driver will 'come along and kick everyone's a*se' in the top flight – as his McLaren-Mercedes team defended its star turn from the criticism he has received so far this year.

Only five women have ever participated at the highest level – Maria Teresa de Filippis in the late 1950s, Lella Lombardi and Divina Galica in the mid-1970s, Desiré Wilson in 1979 and Giovanna Amati in 1992 – and of them, only the late Lombardi ever troubled the scorers, with a half-point for sixth place in the tragic 1975 Spanish Grand Prix at Montjuïc Park, whilst the latter three never actually made the starting grid.

The 1976 British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch is the only event in F1 history to-date with more than one woman driver on the entry list, though neither Lombardi (Brabham) nor Galica (Surtees) succeeded in qualifying for the race. Current leading female competitors include DTM aces Susie Stoddart and Katherine Legge, and IndyCar Series race-winner and poster girl Danica Patrick, who was linked to an ultimately abortive test outing with Honda late last year.

“As the world evolves a woman is bound to come along and kick everyone's a*se,” Hamilton told The Sun. “I'll hope for the best when that comes.”

The 24-year-old's view point is somewhat at odds with the opinion expressed by compatriot and Brawn GP world championship leader Jenson Button, who joked last year in an interview with men's lifestyle magazine FHM that: “A girl with big boobs would never be comfortable in the car, and the mechanics wouldn't concentrate. Can you imagine strapping her in? You wouldn't want to be on the circuit with them, would you?”

Hamilton's 2009 form may pale into near-insignificance compared to that of Button, who looks increasingly odds-on to follow in his Stevenage rival's wheel tracks in lifting the drivers' laurels come season's end – but McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh has been quick to defend his young charge's performances both this year and last, in the wake of two successive failures to make it beyond the initial Q1 phase of qualifying in Monaco and Istanbul.

“Lewis has done an extraordinary job this year in what is a new experience for him,” the Englishman stressed. “There will always be people who will look at [him] winning in the most competitive car – in the past Lewis has been in the best karts and the best junior formulae teams. He has had an entire career of going to a racetrack with the firm conviction that if he had the equipment and he did a good enough job, he would win the race.

“Sadly we have not provided him with that this year – and that has been a big learning experience for him. It is not an enjoyable experience, but we all learn from these situations, and Lewis will. He is an extraordinary racing driver and a worthy world champion, so any questions of him have already been answered.”

Former F1 team owner-turned-BBC pundit Eddie Jordan described the aerodynamically poor MP4-24 as being 'quite simply hopeless, one of the worst possibly that McLaren have ever designed', and elsewhere in the paddock the car has been uncharitably labelled a 'boat' – but Whitmarsh revealed that a major upgrade is in the pipeline for the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim next month, or possibly even the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in just over a week's time should it be ready soon enough.

'Positive' Hayden hoping for test boost

Nicky Hayden is hoping that extra seat team made possible by Monday's Catalunya post-race test can help turn around a demoralising start to his Ducati career.

The 2006 world champion, who spent six years at Repsol Honda, has scored just 13 points from his first five rounds on a Desmosedici, compared with 90 points for team-mate and title leader Casey Stoner.

The American has been hit particularly hard by the decision to slash the amount of MotoGP tests, for financial reasons, while unpredictable weather at all but one event so far has also limited the seat time available.

“This obviously isn't an easy period for me but I have to think positive and continue to give it everything,” said Nicky, presently just 15th in the championship standings. “That is my way of dealing things and that is what I'll continue to do alongside my team.

“I'm looking forward to getting out there and racing again but I'm also looking forward to the test afterwards. I really need some testing and more time in the saddle.

“This year I'm really feeling the testing ban that has been brought in and I know it's the same for everybody but for me in particular I know I'd really benefit from some test time, so hopefully we can get some good work done in Barcelona that will help me take a step forward,” he explained.

Ducati MotoGP project director Livio Suppo was at pains to point out that the Italian factory remains committed to improving the fortunes of all its riders.

“On Tuesday after the [Mugello] race Vittoriano [Guareschi, test rider] was back on track for three days of testing at the same circuit with the objective of improving our bike for Casey and for the other riders who are at times struggling to find a comfortable set-up for the GP9,” he said.

“In Barcelona we'll have a few set-up and electronic updates to try in the day of testing on Monday after the race, so we'll have chance for our world championship riders to give us some feedback and direction for more useful development in the future,” Suppo added.

The next best Ducati rider in the world championship standings after Stoner is Pramac-backed rookie Mika Kallio, in 14th.

After Catalunya, the second and final opportunity for testing during the season will be after Brno.

Doctors confirm Pedrosa’s condition

Dani Pedrosa today returned home to Barcelona where Doctor Xavier Mir, at the USP Institut Universitari Dexeus, confirmed that the Repsol Honda rider had not suffered any further injuries during his crash in yesterday’s Italian Grand Prix.

Pedrosa had started the race injured after a big rear wheel slide and subsequent shake from his bike in Saturday morning’s practice session caused the unlucky Spaniard to incur severe stretching in his right hip. The scans today also showed that the initial diagnosis at the circuit on Saturday had been correct and Pedrosa had pulled the gluteus medius muscle, which caused a small crack in the greater trochanter (thigh) bone where the muscle attaches.

The factory Honda rider will now rest up ahead of the Grand Prix of Catalunya in just under two week’s time. His physical condition will be assessed next week and Pedrosa is hoping to be fit for his home race.

Dani Pedrosa
“It’s a relief that the tests today didn’t show up anything new because I think I have enough to contend with already. The injury from Saturday is still quite painful obviously but with luck it will improve over the next week. The timing of this a real shame because I was feeling as though I was returning to something close to race fitness and could ride the bike as I wanted. Still, this is where we are so we’ll just get on with it and try to make a quick recovery. I really hope I can be fit for the next race because it’s a very important one for me and the team.”

Andrea Dovizioso gets fourth place on home soil

The Italian Honda Repsol rider Dovizioso finished 4th at the circuit of Mugello after an intense race after overtaking Capirossi on the final lap. Dani Pedrosa fell and could not finish the race, even though he made a great start. Casey Stoner won the race, Jorge Lorenzo was 2nd and Valentino Rossi 3rd.

Another GP in the rain and once again the riders had to change bikes in the middle of the race making this GP into another exciting spectacle. The big surprise at the start was Dani Pedrosa, from 8th on the grid he moved into the lead at the first corner. Andrea Dovizioso also got off to a good start and moved up to 3rd. But Casey Stoner soon took over at the front and began to get away from the rest of the field.

The track slowly dried out and all the riders went to the pits to change their bikes and ride on slicks. The leaders were the last ones to do so and Dovizioso took advantage of the changeover to move into the lead at the halfway mark. Dani Pedrosa fell soon after changing his bike, he was thrown off when coming out of a corner, but he escaped unhurt. At the end of the race Stoner was the winner and he was accompanied on the podium by the two other Yamaha riders, Lorenzo 2nd and Rossi 3rd. Andrea Dovizioso got an important 4th place by overtaking Capirossi on the final lap, rounding off a great performance on his home soil.

Pedrosa receives clearance for Catalonia

Repsol Honda rider Dani Pedrosa has confirmed his presence at the Gran Premi Cinzano de Catalunya, less than two weeks after suffering a minor fracture to his right femur. The Spaniard undertook a final check-up at Barcelona’s Dexeus facility on Tuesday, with Doctors Xavier Mir and Manel Ribas giving him the all-clear to ride.

The participation of the 2008 racewinner was never in serious doubt, based on his past record of riding around injuries, the closeness of the title chase in front of him and the fact that the weekend’s race is one of his best chances of taking a first victory of the season. In a statement, Pedrosa also listed the desire to ride in front of his home fans as a key motivational factor.

“I didn’t want to miss this important date for anything in the world,” he said. “On the one hand I wanted to ride because missing this race would mean losing too much ground in the standings, and also because I wanted to race in front of my fans, friends and family.”

Pedrosa has been resting up following his Mugello ordeal, with his right leg immobilised and a cocktail of anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxants to ease the pain.
