Ferrari’s Felipe Massa sets the pre-season pace in Jerez Posted: 11 Feb 2011 04:31 PM PST Felipe Massa was the quickest driver on day one of the second Formula 1 pre-season test in Jerez, ahead of Sauber rookie Sergio Pérez. The Brazilian completed 101 laps of the Spanish circuit in his Ferrari F150, with his best time of 1:20.709 coming early on in the day, almost eight tenths of a second quicker than the Mexican who set his quickest time when the track was at its best. It was a sold run for Pérez and while he did stop out on track causing a red flag, it subsequently turned out that his team had elected to run out of fuel. Mark Webber finished third fastest in the RB7, less than one tenth slower than Pérez, as the team concentrated on longer runs, with positive results and consistent lap times. The average pace was in and around the 1:23 mark, a time Ferrari and Red Bull appeared to manage comfortably during long run outs, while McLaren went between 1:23 and 1:24. Toro Rosso reserve driver Daniel Ricciardo showed his credentials for a future F1 drive by securing fourth place in the STR6 during the morning session with a time of 1:21.755. Lewis Hamilton was fifth quickest with a 1:21.914 as McLaren shook down the MP4-26 without ever really pushing it too hard, the real purpose of the day to check everything was in working order and Hamilton's fastest time came on a single-lap run, showing that more is still to come from the new car. Adrian Sutil was seventh quickest in the VJM04 as Force India also shook down their 2011 challenger, ahead of a more extended test programme on Friday. The German completed just 28 laps after losing several hours to early problems with exhaust blast shields, but once the issue had been resolved, the car was able to complete its baseline runs, and Sutil is confident the car is much better than its predecessor. With Robert Kubica absent due to the injuries sustained in a recent rally event in Italy, Vitaly Petrov led the testing for Renault, finishing eighth quickest in the R31 after regularly lapping around 1:24. His quickest time, a 1:23.504, was four tenths quicker than Mercedes' Nico Rosberg in the W02. Mercedes times varies by almost two seconds between 1:24 and 1:26 as the team worked on different fuel loads, with Rosberg's quickest time coming on lap 3 of a 17 lap run, while a gearbox problem could be an early concern for the team. In a disappointing day for Williams, Pastor Maldonado could only manage 13 laps due to a problem with the car's rear wing actuator, eventually setting a quickest time of 1m34.968, almost 10 seconds slower than the MVR-02 of Virgin's Timo Glock, which was another car being shook down for the first time this year, and not a true indication of Williams' pace. Trulli consistently lapped in the 1:25 range, and never looked like threatening to improve as he recorded a quickest time of 1m25.086s. Hispania Racing are the only team not testing in Jerez this week, instead opting to take part in a filming day for tyre manufacturer Pirelli at Monza at the beginning of next week. Ford confirms it is suing Ferrari over use of F150 name Posted: 11 Feb 2011 03:45 AM PST US Motor giant Ford has revealed it is suing Formula 1 team Ferrari over the Italian carmaker’s use of the name F150 for its new racing car. Ferrari named its 2011 F1 car the F150 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy and created a website to help launch it in January. Dearborn-based Ford said in Wednesday’s filing that the trademark of its F-150 brand of best-selling pickup trucks is being harmed. Ford have subsequently requested a block on Ferrari using the name in the US and has sought damages of $100,000 under the anti-cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act. A Ford statement read: "F-150 is an established and important Ford trademark and the name of the best-seller in Ford's F-Series, America's best-selling trucks for 34 years and best-selling vehicles for 29 years. “Through extensive sales and advertising and exclusive use, Ford has earned invaluable goodwill in the F-150 trademark. That hard-won goodwill is seriously threatened by Ferrari's adoption of 'F150.' "When Ferrari announced the name of its race car as 'F150,' Ford asked Ferrari to change the name. Ferrari did not respond in a timely manner, leaving Ford no choice but to take legal action to protect its important brand and trademark rights."
