(一) Plans for a second grand prix in the United States, in New Jersey, are
expected to be revealed on Tuesday at a press conference in Port Imperial, Weehawken,
USA. The US last hosted a grand prix at Indianapolis in 2007 but returns to the
calendar with a new event in Austin, Texas, in 2012. Formula 1 commercial
rights holder Bernie Ecclestone has held ambitions to host a race in New York
for more than 30 years.


星期二在美國Weehawken, Port Imperial的記者會，
預期會公布美國的第二個大賽落腳紐澤西的計畫。
美國上次舉辦大賽事在2007年的Indianapolis，
2012年美國站又重返賽程，這次是在德州的Austin。
F1廣告權持有者Bernie Ecclestone曾經有在紐約舉辦大獎賽長達30年的野心。



(二) Williams Grand Prix Engineering has reached an out-of-court settlement with
Michael Waltrip Racing (MWR) over the employment of Mike Coughlan. Coughlan,
the McLaren employee at the centre of 2007's F1 'spygate' saga, joined MWR to
work in the Nascar series in the US. He returned to F1 in May as the Williams
chief engineer shortly after it became known that technical director Sam
Michael was leaving. MWR cited 'breach of contract' and 'interference'
against Coughlan and Williams respectively over the move.


Williams Grand Prix Engineering已經與Michael Waltrip Racing(MWR)
對於聘僱Mike Coughlan一事達成庭外和解。

Coughlan曾是2007年McLaren車隊間諜事件的要角，
之後加入了MWR為美國Nascar賽事效力。
他在五月回到F1擔任Williams首席工程師，
在Sam Michael離開之後隨即接手技術總監的空缺。

MWR分別指控Coughlan和Williams的舉動"違反合約"與"干涉"。



(三) Vitantonio Liuzzi will make way for home driver Narain Karthikeyan in the
Hispania Racing Team for the inaugural Indian Grand Prix on 30 October. It
had been thought that rookie Daniel Ricciardo would be the driver to stand
down. Team principal Colin Kolles paid tribute to Liuzzi's professional
attitude.


在十月30號首次舉辦的印度大賽，
Vitantonio Liuzzi會將他在HRT的位置讓給主場車手Narain Karthikeyan。
原本是年輕車手Daniel Ricciardo被預期要將位置讓出來。
車隊主席Colin Kolles稱讚Liuzzi的專業態度。



(四) Red Bull Racing's Christian Horner says that with the drivers' and
constructors' titles decided, he expects the final three races (in India,
Abu Dhabi and Brazil) to be "like three FA Cup Finals." Horner says his team's
objective is now to get Mark Webber into second place in the drivers'
championship.


Red Bull車隊主席Christian Horner車手和車隊冠軍都已經確定了，
他預期最後三場比賽(印度、阿布達比、巴西)
將會很像"三場FA CUP Finals (足球冠軍杯決賽)。"

Horner表示現在他的車隊目標是將Mark Webber送上車手冠軍積分第二位。



(五) With third driver Nico Hulkenberg being linked to a Force India seat alongside
Paul di Resta in 2012, current driver Adrian Sutil is still being linked to
Williams, but it is understood that 2007 world champion Kimi Raikkonen is the
team's preferred option.


Nico Hulkenberg，Force India 車隊的第三車手，
被認為可能在2012年成為Paul di Resta的隊友，
Force India現役的另一位車手Adrian Sutil則被猜測可能前往Williams，
但目前的了解是2007年世界冠軍Kimi Raikkonnen是Williams的首選。
