Posted: 17 Jun 2010 10:48 AM PDT Raikkonen has been linked with a move to Renault (Photo: Mark McArdle) The Sport Review rounds up all of the latest news from the world of Formula 1. Williams appear to be the latest team to confirm their 2011 driver line-up with Rubens Barrichello and Nico Hülkenburg both retained for next year. Mercedes reserve driver Nick Heidfeld has already conceded that the top 10 race seats for 2011 are already taken, and could move into a Mercedes DTM seat alongside his duties in F1. Organisers of the Korean GP expect the race to go ahead and have played down political tensions as a reason for the race being called off. Many teams have yet to book flights and hotels to South Korea amid growing political concerns with North Korea. The circuit and facilities at Yeongam are expected to be completed in the summer. Pedro de la Rosa hinted at last week's Canadian Grand Prix that he may not race for Sauber beyond 2010. After a disappointing season, de la Rosa told the BBC's The F1 Forum that "if anyone wants me, I am available. I am usable, even if I have to go back testing or as a reserve driver." Pirelli have an offer on the table to become F1's tyre supplier from 2011, and it is believed they have the backing of many big names in the sport, but McLaren chief Martin Whitmarsh would favour rival bidder Michelin. Former world champion Jacques Villeneuve has confirmed that he is seeking a drive for 2011. The 39-year-old had been lined up as a driver for Stefan F1 for 2010, as the Serbian outfit attempted to replace the disastrous USF1 team, but the team were not awarded a place on the grid. Villeneuve concedes that he will not race for a top team, but is determined to return. Anyone remember his last comeback? Kimi Räikkönen could be in line for a return to F1 after all as recent speculation hints at the former world champion replacing Vitaly Petrov at Renault. Unable to secure a drive with McLaren or Red Bull for 2010, Räikkönen is currently driving in a Red Bull sponsored Citroën Junior Team in the World Rally Championship. Petrov is believed to need 25 per-cent of team mate Robert Kubica's points to retain his seat for 2011, but is currently languishing on 8.2 per cent. Toro Rosso's Sébastien Buemi looks even more likely to drive for Red Bull from 2012 as speculation increases over a possible switch to the senior Red Bull team. Buemi is seen as a long-term replacement for Mark Webber, with the Aussie only agreeing a one-year extension despite recently leading the drivers' championship. And finally, Bernie Ecclestone showed off trials of F1 coverage in High Definition and 3D following the Canadian Grand Prix last week. Fans have demanded HD F1 coverage for some time now, and it seems it could be ready for the start of the 2012 season after trials last weekend. 3D however, is still some way off. A further announcement is expected sometime this year. - Lewis Hamilton takes pole for Canadian Grand Prix - Ferrari sign 11-year-old boy to their driving academy - Formula 1 News: Valentino Rossi to drive third Ferrari? South Africa hammer the West Indies in Trinidad Posted: 17 Jun 2010 01:49 AM PDT South Africa mauled a feeble West Indies inside four days in the opening Test match in Trinidad. The margin of the win, 163 runs, hides the manor of the defeat in which the hosts were completely outplayed and outclassed. With recent heavy criticism of the standard of lower ranked test sides including Bangladesh, the West Indies will need to ensure defeats of this nature do not become a regular occurrence. Only 34 overs were able to be completed due to rain which made the outfield unplayable. The West Indies were quick to make their mark on the game however with debutant off spinner Shane Shillingford removing both openers with sharp spin and Benn dismissed Hashim Amla before the close of play. >From here on in however, the game belonged to the Proteas. The middle order trio of De Villiers, Prince and Boucher all passed fifty to push South Africa to 352. Another note of disappointment for the West Indies came in the performance of debutant Pascal who could manage only 11 overs. A good response was integral, what came was quite the opposite. The entire batting line up struggled with the pace of Morne Morkel and Dale Steyn, crumbling to 102 all out. There was however brief resistance from Deonarine and Chanderpaul but this was not enough, Dale Steyn took his 200th test wicket on the way to 5-29. The South Africans then got to work on increasing their lead. Captain Graeme Smith who has recently come under fire about his own performances provided the glue, holding the innings together making 90 and allowing a declaration on 200-4. This left Chris Gayle's side the small target of 457 to win. It was Gayle who led his team from the front with an uncharacteristically dogged 73. His innings was unfortunately in vain as again the rest of the batsman folded to the South African bowling attack. The wickets this time were shared, the West Indies 293 all out. Chris Gayle bemoaned his side for letting their work on day one slip away so soon whilst Graeme Smith paid tribute on his twitter page to pacemen Morkel and Steyn as well as debutant Lonwabo Tsotsobe. After a show of such frailty things must change to stop a dismal run of results in the test arena. The cricketing world has highlighted the weakness of some test nations after Bangladesh's series with England and performances of this nature could see this criticism creep the way of the West Indies. - Ravi Bopara braced to fill Kevin Pietersen-shaped hole - Surrey chasing Brian Lara for T20 campaign - Hamish Marshall has sights set on Ireland place England need to explore Gerrard-Rooney partnership Posted: 17 Jun 2010 01:39 AM PDT England manager Fabio Capello (Photo: Paul Blank) Fabio Capello needs to consider alternatives to the Emile Heskey-Wayne Rooney partnership for the sake of England's World Cup dreams. Robert Green's error against the United States cost England the perfect start in Rustenburg, but many American fans argued it was just reward for their endeavours—a strain of thought it is difficult to argue with. Steven Gerrard's fourth minute strike provided the platform upon which Capello's side should have made an emphatic statement to their World Cup rivals. Frustratingly, however, England were content to protect their lead and allowed the USA to enjoy prolonged periods of possession, awaiting opportunities to counter-attack. Emile Heskey’s presence up front was problematic. The Aston Villa striker’s physique is undoubtedly suited to the role of target man, yet his presence often causes England to resort to the aimless long balls Franz Beckenbaur referred to in his recent jibes. Even Peter Crouch, Heskey's replacement last Saturday, offered a similar service which creative players such as Gerrard and Frank Lampard—devoid of other ideas—continuously resorted to. Throughout qualifying Capello experimented with different formations with some of England's most attractive performances admittedly deriving from a formation which focused upon Heskey or Crouch up front. Yet the Italian manager has continually stressed the importance of retaining possession. This philosophy is even more key in the demanding high-altitude conditions at this World Cup. The ‘kick and rush’ style of play may be effective against slack defences but as the USA proved, well-organised back-lines can contain the aerial threat of Heskey, if not directly then by sweeping clear the intended flicks-ons or headers to Rooney. Relatively untried is the option of playing England captain Steven Gerrard behind Wayne Rooney. The decision of the former Liverpool manager, Rafael Benítez, to deploy Gerrard behind Fernando Torres proved fruitful—the midfielder's best performances originated from this attacking role. Rooney, meanwhile, has flourished at Old Trafford since becoming the focal point of the Manchester United attack. Gerrard and Rooney, who are good friends off the pitch, have shown great understanding in the past and there were glimpses of this mutual intuition last Saturday. Gareth Barry is expected to be fully fit for tomorrow night's clash against Algeria. The Manchester City midfielder’s return would allow Gerrard to vacate the central midfield role and be relieved of his defensive responsibilities. Furthermore it would satisfy the critics of the Gerrard-Lampard midfield partnership. The insurance provided by Barry would allow Gerrard and Lampard to surge forward, creating more opportunities for Rooney and England's wide players. Barry’s return will inevitably see a shift in Capello's midfield. For now, it is likely Gerrard will hug the left wing with the England manager again deploying Heskey as the target man. The Gerrard-Rooney partnership, however, is one which should be explored. - Terry admits concerns over Rooney’s temperament - I didn’t make mistakes, insists Capello after US draw - US coach Bradley confident of upsetting England You are subscribed to email updates from The Sport Review To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now.
