Alonso: 2011 rule changes will succeed

Fernando Alonso is confident that Formula 1's rule-makers have hit upon the solution to the sport's lack of overtaking with the arrival of moveable wings and the return of Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) next year. The wing device will allow drivers to activate an F-duct-style drag-reduction system when within a prescribed distance behind a car ahead, giving the chasing driver a straightline speed advantage over their opponent - who will not be able to trigger their own wing device in defence. In parallel with this new initiative, the power-boosting KERS will be reintroduced after a one-year absence

Drivers praise new Daytona surface

Sprint Cup series drivers have given their thumbs-up to the new surface at Daytona International Speedway, following the first test since the repaving of the track was completed. Eighteen teams took to the track during Wednesday and Thursday in a Goodyear tyre test, putting down rubber for the first time on the new dark pavement following the first resurfacing since 1978 and only the second in the track's history. Driver's consensus was positive on the end result, the track becoming smoother, losing some of its previous bumps and roughness while also gaining a lot of grip.
