Likely starters
F.1.5.A., the governing body of motor sport, has extended its deadline for informing teams of their success or otherwise in gaining entries for this year’s world championship. In the meantime, the respected English motoring weekly, "Motoring News,” has published a list of likely starters. These are: McLaren: Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost. Tyrrell: Jonathon Palmer, Michele Alboreto. Williams: Thierry Boutsen, Riccardo Patrese. Brabham: Martin Brundle, Stefano Modena. Zakspeed: Bernd Schneider, Aguri Suzuki. Lotus: Nelson Piquet, Satoru Nakajima. AGS: Philippe Streiff, Joachim Winkelhock. March: Ivan Capelli, Mauricio Gugelmin. Arrows: Derek Warwick, Eddie Cheever. Benetton: Alessandro
Nannini, Johnny Herbert. Osella: Piercarlo Ghinzani, Pascal Fabre. Rial: Christian Danner, Nicola Larlni. Minardi: Pier-Luigi Martini, Luis Sala. Ligien Rene Amoux, Olivier Grouillard. Ferrari: Nigel Mansell, .Gerhard Berger. Lola: Philippe Alliot, Yannick Dalmas. Colon): Roberto Moreno, Pierre-Henri Raphanel. Euro Brun: Gregor Fiotek. Dallara: Alex Caffi, Andrea de Cesaris. Onyx: Stefan Johansson, Bertrand Gachot. First: Gabriele Tarquini, Julian Bailey. While some of the lesser teams wait on tenterhooks to see whether their entries have been accepted, the world waits to see if anyone can match the pace of the McLaren Hondas, who have been demoralisingly fast in pre-season testing. F.I.S.A. has allocated 16
dates for the 1989 series of world championship Formula One races, but the United States Grand Prix, scheduled for June 4, is still without a venue. On the face of it, there appears to be every likelihood that Laguna Seca will replace the Detroit street circuit that has now been abandoned. The world championship races will be: Brazil (Rio de Janeiro), March 26; San Marino (Imola), April 23; Monaco (Monte Carlo), May T; Mexico (Rodriguez), May 28; United States, June 4; Canada (Montreal), June 18; France (Paul Ricard), July 9; Britain (Silverstone), July 16; Germany (Hockenheim), July 30; Hungary (Budapest), August 13; Belgium (Spa), August 27; Italy (Monza), September 10; Portugal (Estoril), September 24; Spain (Jerez), October 1; Japan (Suzuka), October 22; Australia (Adelaide), November 5.
