Liuzzi's future at HRT uncertain

Vitantonio Liuzzi, although he has a cooperation contract with Hispania Racing Team, it is not certain whether he will continue his racing career with the team, as he himself states.

This is because when the Italian decided to work with the team, HRT was headed by Jose Carabante and director Colin Kolles.

The team is now owned by Thesan Capital and Luis Perez-Sala replaced Kolles. In addition the team's empty cockpit is in demand as there are several drivers looking for an empty seat for it 2012, while HRT has already announced Pedro de la Rosa in one position for next season.

Liuzzi himself told Total Race: "I have a contract to be in next season's races with HRT, but the deal fell through with the previous owner, so my future in the team is uncertain".

THEATER : “Ivan and the dogs” with Aris Servetalis in Thessaloniki

 The successful show directed by Giorgos Oikonomou with Aris Servetalis and presented until January 1st in Athens, also goes up in Thessaloniki and brings to life the true story of little Ivan from 5 until 15 January 2012.
The performance inaugurates the reopening of the AVLAIA theater.
"And so the money ran out and there was no way
to buy food.
They tried everything to find money and buy food but nothing was done because the money was all gone.
So moms and dads tried to find things they could get rid of, things they ate, things they drank or things that needed warmth.
They searched their homes for such things.
The dogs left first."
How does one survive in the violent and inhospitable landscape of a city that has been fatally affected by the recession; "Ivan and the Dogs" is a gripping story of survival that brings to life the grim streets of 19th-century Moscow 1990 through the eyes of a child.
"I won't talk about the orphanage.
Those were the worst days.
They take me to church.
They tell me I have a soul.
It is something bright that is within me and is a part of it
God, but when I look at it, this part of God,
it has a tail and a clawed foot and a black wet snout"
True story: Moscow, winter of 1996. Terrified and abused by his brutal stepfather, a four-year-old boy runs away from home and miraculously survives by joining a pack of dogs. After three unsuccessful attempts by the police, he is finally 'arrested' 1998 and is locked up in an asylum. Then it is adopted. In his dreams Ivan Mishukov is still running on the edge of town with his dogs.
In the performance directed by Giorgos Oikonomou, Aris Servetalis narrates and experiences in the first person and in the first person the story of Ivan's childhood. He is the protagonist of a story that, although completely true, it was written with the materials of the most extreme fairy tale: the risk, the courage, the violence, the despair, the overthrow, the panic, the hope, the pursuit, the friendship, adulthood, love and peace. He is a modern Mogli, a four-year-old boy in the Moscow jungle of his decade 90 where the angst for survival is immense and hope is nil. Little Ivan moves in a landscape where homeless alcoholics are the protagonists, the nouveau riche gangsters, juvenile prisoners, the fear, cold and hunger. He leaves one night alone from the nightmare of his home to plunge into this landscape of complete destitution. He runs away to escape. And there next to a pack of dogs he will finally find harmony.
Writer Hattie Naylor was born in London and was studying painting when the BBC accepted her entry for the Young Playwrights Festival with her play The Box. Since then she has won many national and international awards for her radio plays. He lives in Bristol and has written about theatre, the opera and the cinema.
Ivan and the Dogs premiered at the Drum Theatre, in Plymouth, in September 2010 and has been performed with great success in London and New York. The 2011 is nominated for an Olivier Award.
The translation of the work is signed by Giorgos Kalamandis, directed by Giorgos Oikonomou, the scenery and costumes by Kostas Velinopoulos, music by Nikos Portokaloglou, lighting by Yiannis Drakularakos.

Nicky Hayden injured

The American Ducati rider,who rode a motorcycle for the first time after his injury in the last race of Valencia, he was injured again and broke his left shoulder and two ribs.

Hayden's motorcycle, who had begun training in his hometown at a private flat track in Kentucky, collided with another motorcycle.

The 30-year-old rider stated: "Of course injuries are never a good thing. But it's part of motorcycle racing. As in Valencia it was a terrible accident. I was starting to prepare again, as I do in the winter, at a private track near my house. I was behind another rider and he tried to get away from me. I wasn't going very fast but it hit my front wheel and I fell, I landed badly on my left shoulder and that was enough".

According to Ducati there are no plans for surgery at this time, but the situation with his champion's shoulder 2006 will be re-evaluated next week.

More generally the next few weeks are crucial for whether Hayden will take part in his first winter tests 2012 at 31 January in Sepang.

End, Hayden stated: "It's disappointing, but there is nothing I can do but hope to get better quickly. Be that as it may, this does not affect my expectations for the 2012, which is now very close".

First images of the new Suzuki Jimny;

A new SUV that is likely to be the successor of the Jimny is expected to be presented at an exhibition in New Delhi by Suzuki, along with its associate company Maruti.
A very interesting SUV in the form of a prototype will be presented next week at the New Delhi motor show by Suzuki, together with her partner there, the famous company Maruti. Nothing has been made official yet, information wants this new model to be the successor of the commercially successful Jimny.
For the time being, only some low-resolution photos showing individual elements of the car have been leaked, such as e.g. the grille and the rear lights. Soon we will know more about that too. Judging by these two pictures anyway, we can say that Suzuki is again preparing something very interesting in terms of design.
