Mclaren Taking Its Time
Mclaren Taking Its Time
The past Formula One season has been a roller coaster ride for the Wokingbased McLaren team. At the start of the season they have been dominated by Ferrari at the Australian Grand Prix. But rookie Lewis Hamilton showed the world that McLaren is still one of the top teams in the sport.
But Hamilton’s popularity and success did not go well with his double world champion Fernando Alonso who kept complaining all season long that he should be given the advantage over the rookie. And after the dust has settled and Kimi Raikkonen of Ferrari was declared this season’s champion McLaren announced that Alonso will no longer be driving for them next season.
After the departure of the doubleworld time champion much melee regarding the drivers has erupted. But McLaren announced that they will be taking their time in naming their new driver for the 2008 season.
Martin Whitmarsh the team’s Chief Executive said: “Until the second McLaren drive is sorted out I don’t think you’ll see much movement in the driver market so we’re not really hurried.” Although there have been no reports as to who the team is favoring right now one driver will not be included on the list.
Ralf Schumacher who left Toyota after the season is said to have expressed his interest in joining McLaren a team which has been the foremost rival of Ferrari his brother’s longtime home in Formula One. Dennis reportedly told Schumacher’s manger that Ralf will not be on the list of drivers to be considered by the team.
Whitmarsh also said that there have been a number of drivers who have contacted them but they still have an outstanding contract with other teams. “Obviously there are some drivers who’ve approached us who are contracted elsewhere and we’ve had to say we can’t talk to them unless they can prove they are free to negotiate” said Whitmarsh.
Meanwhile Hamilton named three drivers who may be on the top of the list and they are Nico Rosberg Adrian Sutil and Heikki Kovalainen. But he added that he will stand by the decision of his team. “I’m really not bothered who I am racing with’ said Hamilton. “It’s another team decision and I stick by them whoever they choose. I’m very happy I’ve got one seat. I get to stay and do what I love doing.”
Hamilton and Alonso both drove the MP422 this year with an engine supplied by MercedesBenz the manufacturers of durable Mercedes 300SD radiators. Hamilton said that he wishes his former teammate the best in his career. “I wish Fernando the best for the future and really hope wherever he goes he is successful” said Hamilton. “But I’m going to be there competing against him and I look forward to the battle. I welcome whoever is going to be with us and look forward to the challenge. I hope they work as hard as me to take the team to the championship” he concluded.

Is It Possible To Fight Against Rising Diesel Prices
Is It Possible To Fight Against Rising Diesel Prices
April 1 2008 witnessed a trucker shutdown that was a drastic step designed to try to combat the rising cost of diesel fuel that is affecting seriously the income of American truckers in a negative sense. The drivers owner/operators in most cases are not making enough profit to pay for the cost of operating their trucks. Just the cost of buying a big rig can exceed 100000 excluding the added expense of maintaining the vehicle. Many small trucking companies have already given up due to the inability to meet today’s higher operating costs.
In a report released by the Avondale Partners LLC it was said that the number of trucking companies have gone out of business in the first quarter of this year. This report stated that an estimated 42000 trucks which is 2.1 percent of this nations overtheroad heavyduty trucks went out of business during the first three months of 2008. Some trucking companies pay their drivers a fuel surcharge to help with the cost of fuel but the fuel surcharges paid are not enough to keep up with constantly increasing fuel costs. As of April 2008 24.3 cents on the gallon are collected in federal fuel taxes on diesel. Some shippers are refusing to pay any fuel surcharge or in the case of some brokers collecting it but then failing to pass it on to the company.
Americans are dependent on these men and women of the highway for delivering everything from the food they eat to the clothes they wear to the toys for their children. The hike in diesel prices will eventually affect the price of all merchandise sold in the American market place. The high diesel prices are not only going to drain a trucker’s wallet at the pump but will increase the prices an average person pays at the supermarket and at all retail stores businesses that will have to charge more to cover their costs and will pass the charges on to consumers in the form of higher prices on their products.
CNNs Jack Cafferty wrote in an article food inflation in the U.S. is at its highest level in 17 years and could get worse. The rising cost of everything from milk to eggs to chicken is hurting many Americans especially the poor. It’s also tough on businesses like bakeries and delis that have to explain price increases to their customers. What poor people normally do is to give something else up in order to eat due to costlier food. Although the price jumps for various foods are due to many factors including higher commodity costs for things like wheat corn soybeans and milk one of the main reasons for the jump are higher energy and transportation costs.
The purpose of the continuing plans for trucker shutdowns is not to penalize fellow Americans; its motive is to draw attention to the importance of trucking to the American economy and to request help through some relief from the federal fuel tax for big rigs travelling the nation’s highways.
