One of the hotel in Candidasa area

Speeding recklessly, tourists turn scared

Candidasa feared to be getting more slumped Amlapura (Bali Post)—

Reckless speeding by motorcycle gang in Candidasa taking place for long time causes tourists to fear when they would like to have a promenade at night. A number of foreign hoteliers complained because the action of young children was ignored by relevant authorities and it evidently continued to occur.

It was revealed by a member of Karangasem House, Nengah Suparta, Sunday (Oct 16). The legislator from Samuh, Candidasa, said that his party received many complaints from a number of hoteliers in Candidasa. Suparta asked not only the police, but also the Regent of Karangasem to intervene how to provide convenience for foreign tourists in Candidasa. He confessed to worry because tourists liked to have a promenade at night other than going to a restaurant.

“If the reckless speeding by young children is allowed to continue in Candidasa, we worry and fear that tourists will leave Candidasa. During this time, Candidasa KDV EHHQ DIÀLFWHG E\ YDULRXV SURElems aside from the arrangement of buildings” he said.

Foreign tourists had long been disturbed by reckless speeding as the act of motorcycle gang. Additionally, their actions also made the

situation noisy. Besides, Candidasa ZDV DOVR FRPSODLQHG DV LWV WUDI¿F was quite dense and often dangerous to pedestrians. “Reckless speeding by young motorcyclists is not only done on Saturday night, but also on other weekdays’ night.

They play hide-and-seek with police. When a police on guard, they are silent, but when police leave the location they will promptly do action,” he said.

On the other hand, Chief of Karangasem Police, Jefri Torunde, ZKHQ DVNHG IRU KLV FRQ¿UPDWLRQ on the speeding cases in Candidasa said that his party had often taken actions. Other than in Candidasa, similar action also occurred in Amlapura right on Jalan PB Sudirman. +H VDLG RQ 6DWXUGD\ 2FW WKDW his party also participated in person to take action against the perpetrators of speeding until around 3:00 a.m. on Jalan PB Sudirman. “We directed the per-

petrators to Karangsokong and we took action there,” he said.

According to him, his party KDG DVVLJQHG SROLFH RI¿FHUV WR guard in the police post of Candidasa. Speeding perpetrators were young boy of Karangasem alone.

“We have also taken action against them, but some remain to act. We expect they should not only be banned by police, but also by their parents,” he said.

Chief of Karangasem Police alleged if the young people in Karangasem did so because they lacked of entertainment.

To resolve it, they did speeding activities on the highway.

Chief Jefri Torunde said there was a need to make a motorcycle track for young children who liked doing so. “We hope they do not do speeding on the highway. If necessary, they can excel as a real motorcycle rider,” he said. (013)

ANOTHER quite unique tradition is shown off by customary village in Buleleng Regency. Three customary villages in Sawan Subdistrict, namely the Kerobokan, Kloncing and Sinabun customary village still maintain their distinctive nyekar tradition carried out by night watch (makemit) on Segara Beach, Kerobokan. It is a variant of pakelem ceremony held at sea. The tradition of night watch on the beach is not only done by the apparatus of customary village or family head, but it can also be done together with family.

By and large, this tradition is performed around the full moon in the fourth month in Balinese calendar (around October) and local people call it rahina nadi, or a very auspicious day.

Kerobokan customary village, for instance, performed pakelem ceremony or nyekar right on the full moon of the fourth month. Sinabun Village does it the day after full moon, while Keloncing Village takes a different day. On the appointed day, the road of Kerobokan Beach area has been crowded from the morning. Local villagers organizing the night watch ceremony bring some bamboo poles of various sizes. The bamboo will be used to establish a kind of small hut on the beach. Meanwhile, the roof is made of new fabric or the one that has never been used. Similarly, the side walls are made of new fabric. Then, people will sleep or unwind as the initial series of nyekar ceremony.

Now and again, after passing the 00:00 p.m. Local Time, residents began to be busy preparing for the pinnacle of nyekar or pakelem procession. It ordinarily takes place around 03:00 a.m. or before sunrise.

sari offering along with incense put inside a cubical frame made of banana midrib UHVHPEOLQJ D ¿VK FDJH Jro Mangku Made Sudirtha, a temple priest at Kerobokan customary village said that nyekar ceremony was an exSUHVVLRQ RI JUDWLWXGH WR 6XSUHPH *RG because the ceremony held in the village territory has run well. “Essentially, the ceremony poses an expression of gratitude and apologies for the shortcomings or mistakes during the performance of ceremony. Then, we will start a new life at the customary village,” he said.

According to him, nyekar procession on Kerobokan Beach had been going on for generations. Though the time had evolved, people were excited to follow the nyekar procession until the end. However, the development of time had also affected the way the procession went on. Before the existence of a rapid means of transportation, local customary villagers usually went to Kerobokan Beach on foot. Today, people used a means of transportation like car or motorcycle. “Most importantly, the core of the ceremony does not change, only people are getting more practical,” said Mangku Sudirtha.

Interestingly, the tradition of night watch on the beach is not only carried out by village apparatus or representative of the family. Occasionally local residents also take their families so the tradition then becomes a series of religious procession and a recreational moment for the family. People coming to location bring along their offerings and dinner to be enjoyed together on the beach. On that account, they are willing to come to the beach early, just to enjoy the beautiful sunset and crashing waves while savoring the dinner brought from the home. Above all, the activities on Segara Kerobokan are preceded by prayers en masse. (ole)

Hollande claims win in French presidential primary Associated Press Writer

PARIS — Former French Socialist Party chief Francois Hollande declared victory Sunday in the party’s presidential primary, urging the left to unite around his bid to unseat embattled conservative Nicolas Sarkozy in elections next year.

Hollande, a 57-year-old moderate known more as a behind-thescenes consensus-builder than a visionary, is seen by many as a welcome contrast to the tough-talking, hard-driving Sarkozy. Opinion polls say Hollande is the leftists’ best chance to win the presidency for the first time since 1988.

Sunday’s vote for the main oppo-

sition party’s presidential nominee comes at a time when many French citizens are worried about high state debt, cuts to education spending, anemic economic growth and lingering unemployment.

With 2.2 million votes counted after Sunday’s run-off voting, the Socialist Party said 56 percent of the ballots were for Hollande and 44

percent for his challenger Martine Aubry, who had succeeded Hollande as Socialist Party leader.

The party estimates that more than 2.7 million people voted in Sunday’s run-off.

“I note with pride and responsibility the vote tonight, which ... gives me the large majority I had sought,” Hollande told supporters

in party headquarters as results rolled in.

He said the victory gives him “strength and legimitacy” to take on Sarkozy, who is widely expected to seek a second five-year term in elections in April and May. Hollande pledged to reverse Sarkozy-era cuts in school funding and defend “equality and progress” at a time when many voters in France — and around the world — are angry over economic troubles and the sway that financial markets hold over politics.

Aubry quickly conceded de-

feat. She had sought to be France’s first female president.

“I warmly congratulate Francois Hollande, who is clearly ahead. His victory is unquestionable,” said Aubry, famed for authoring France’s 35-hour workweek law.

The bespectacled Hollande was the longtime partner of the Socialists’ last presidential candidate, Segolene Royal. The two split after Royal’s 2007 presidential defeat to Sarkozy but stood sideby-side during Hollande’s victory speech Sunday.

Philippines unfazed by Taiwan Spratlys missile plan Agence France Presse

The Philippines said Sunday it was prepared to defend its claims in the South China Sea, but downplayed a plan by Taiwan to deploy missiles in the area.

Defence department spokesman Zosimo Jesus Paredes said the country enjoyed good relations with Taiwan and believed its plan to supply missiles to coastguard units in the areas it claims was not a threat to the Philippines.

“We cannot dictate on Taiwan on what or what not to do,” Paredes told reporters. “For as long as they don’t occupy what we already occupy, we have no problem. Live and let live.”

However, he said Manila was prepared to “defend to the hilt” islets it has already occupied in the Spraltys. He did not elaborate.

China claims all of the South China Sea, including the Spratlys, a group of islands and islets believed to sit atop vast oil and mineral reserves.

Taiwan, Vietnam, Brunei, the Philippines and Malaysia also lay claim to all or part of the Spratlys.

The overlapping claims have been a source of tension in the region, with the United States reiterating a call to all parties last week to peacefully solve the problem following Taiwan’s threat.

Rome cleans up devastation, asks why it happened Reuters

ROME - Workers cleaned up the wreckage from some of Rome’s worst riots in years on unday and citizens asked why their city was the only one in which global demonstrations turned violent. esterday we once again showed the world the anomaly of Italy and today we once again have to feel shame, La tampa newspaper said in a front-page editorial.

Hundreds of hooded, masked protesters rampaged through the capital on Saturday during a larger peaceful protest against elites blamed for an economic crisis.

Clashes with police raged for at least six hours.

Apart from the material damage, estimated by merchants’ groups at more than a million euros, Mayor Gianni Alemanno said the capital would long suffer from the “moral damageâ€? and shock caused by the rampage and the bad publicity around the world.

“According to reliable sources, 15 houses had been badly damaged and seven others seriously,” Langgori said.

The disaster had already been reported to the sub-district chief of Matuari and even to the Bitung mayor.

The villagers said a huge ball of wind came from the South to the North and the strong whirlwind passed and ravaged the houses of the villagers, leaving nothing behind.

Freeport appeals to protesters to open blockade Antara

TIMIKA - PT Freeport Indonesia again appealed to protesting employees to open blockade to smoothen flows of logistic supplies.

“We hope God would move you to open the access for the interest of many people,” the company`s president director and CEO Armando Mahler said in his appeal made in Tembagapura here on Sunday.

He said the impact of the blockade in Mile 27 since October 10 was huge for PT Freeport Indonesia because all logistic supplies to the company`s operation areas come from Amamapare Portsite.

“Since the road was blocked logistic supplies to the areas have declined. If this happens for months the impact will be very serious in the future. If that happens it will affect the contribution of PT Freeport to the state,” he said.

He said everyday many containers of logistic, food, medical and other supplies have so far been taken by land from Timika to Tembagapura through the blocked road.

He said due to the blocking aviation turbine (avtur) fuel supply in

Mozes Kilangin airport in Timika has run out since Friday (Oct 14) and as a result the airport authority since Saturday (Oct 15) has no longer served avtur to some airline companies providing both commercial service and feeder service to inland areas.

The condition has since Saturday caused Garuda Indonesia to change its flight routes while Merpati Nusantara canceled flight from Makassar to Timika.

As a lot of containers have failed to be brought from the Cargo Dock of Amamapare Portsite ships that carry Freeport containers have also failed to conduct loading and uploading at the port.

He said the Freeport management has referred the blocking problem to the security authorities concerned. “We have talked about it with the security apparatus on hope they could take a stern action to make the road section at Mile 27 immediately opened,” he said.

Sharing Armando, PT Freeport`s CAO and vice president`s executive director Sinta Sirait appealed to the All Indonesia Workers Union PT Freeport Working Unit (PUK SPSI)

to help open the blockade.

She said since Freeport employees conducted a strike as of September 15 PUK SPSI had expressed full commitment to assuring peaceful and orderly demonstrations.

“We hope for cooperation and help from friends in SPSI so that the blockade could be immediately opened. While other employees have the right to conduct a strike others also have the right to continue to work. So, it is not allowed to block the road through which other employees go to work,” she said.

The blockade on Mile 27 has happened since Monday (Oct 10) following a clash between police and demonstrators at Goronggorong Terminal.

Employees that were angry over the death of their fellow, Petrus Ayamiseba after being hit by a live bullet then set a number of trailers carrying PT Freeport containers on fire and blocked a section of the road at Mile 27.

Until now security officials are still negotiating with demonstrators in an effort to make them open the blockade.

Pertamina terminates aircraft fuel supply to Merpati Antara

JAKARTA - State-owned oil/gas firm PT Pertamina has terminated its aviation turbine fuel (Avtur) supply to Merpati Airlines at Juanda and Hasanuddin aiports as of 00:00 October 15, 2001, Merpati`s president director said.

“Consequently, we have to stop our flight operations from and to Surabaya`s Juanda and Ujung Pandang`s Hasanuddin`s airports until an unspecified time,” Merpati President Director Capt Sardjono Jhony told the press here on Saturday.

Marpati has imposed a limited termination of its Avtur supply to Marpati because the state-owned airlines had yet to settled its obligation to pay for the avtur to Pertamina.

“Based on the Pertamina letter, the balance of our unpaid aircraft fuels for the August 27, 2011 - October 13, 2011 period amounts to Rp2.7 billion and US95.6 thousands,” the Merpati president director said.

Sardjono admitted that the problem had happened as a result of the fact that Merpati had been in financial troubles in the last several years and at present it was waiting for the disbursement of the government`s financial assistance.

He said that actually, we have agreed to settle the debts during a meeting on February 12, 2011 with Pertamina and the Asset Guarantor Company (PPA) which was led by the state-owned enterprises (BUMN) minister.

The results of hour meeting on August 18, 2011 concluded that Marpati`s accumulative debts amounting to Rp270 billion plus an avtur obligation would get payment priority when the government`s capital participation worth Rp561 billion was disbursed.

“This means that institutionally, Merpati`s obligation to Pertimina is guaranteed,” he said.

Indonesian nuclear is not for war Antara

YOGYAKARTA - Head of the National Nuclear Energy Agency (Batan) said that Indonesian nuclear will not be used for war, but for the country`s welfare and peace.

“The use of nuclear in Indonesia will not for war weaponry, but for human peace and prosperity,” said Batan Head Hudi Hastowo after introducing Indonesian nuclear use in Taman Pintar here Saturday.

Indonesia has poses law on nuclear technology use, one of them is not for weapon building use, he said.

Based on Batan`s research, nuclear energy use has been providing benefits to people in many fields.

For the plantation sector, nuclear has been used to create 16 superior rice seeds, buckwheat and soybeans which was conducted

by Batan because Indonesia is still importing the main ingredient for tempe (soybean cake) production.

In the animal husbandry, nuclear also used to create food formula that can increase livestock`s weight properly and make it last longer.

Nuclear technology has also been used in health sector to help curing goiter disease as it was done for people at western slope of Mount Merapi, Central Java.

“Nuclear technology had also been used to detect ground water sources as it was done in Klaten, Malang, Madura and Gunung Kidul districts under the Bribin project,” Hudi said.

Hudi said that there are no follow up steps on the nuclear power plant (PLTN) development plan in Indonesia.

“More over after the major earthquake in Japan that hit Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant and causes some radioactive leakage, the plan is now delayed whereas it was previously accepted by the public,” he said.

Batan will continue to prepare the human resources and increasing mastery of the technology because it was mandatory as mentioned in Law Number 17 Year 2007 regarding the long-term development plans.

Nuclear power plant (NPP) is planned to be built in Tanjung Ular Muntok Cape region, West Bangka where the feasibility study will be done at the planned site.

PARI - The world’s leading economies pressed Europe on aturday to act decisively within eight days to resolve the euro zone’s sovereign debt crisis which is endangering the world economy. ,Q XQXVXDOO\ GLUHFW ODQJXDJH Âżnance ministers and central bankers of the Group of 20 major economies said they expected an October 23 European Union summit to “decisively address the current challenges through a comprehensive planâ€?.

French Finance Minister Francois Baroin, who chaired the meeting, said Berlin and Paris, the leading euro zone powers, were well on the way to agreeing a plan to reduce Greece’s debt, stop contagion and protect Europe’s banks.

Non-euro countries highlighted the damage the European crisis was already doing to their economies and underlined the urgent need for action by the 17-nation single currency area. “Europe needs to get its act together because unless the crisis is put to an end, it will start to affect emerging economies which have enjoyed strong growth,� Japanese Finance Minister Jun Azumi said.

His Canadian counterpart, Jim Flaherty, said the risk of a global recession would be dramatically higher if next Sunday’s European summit failed to deliver. %ULWLVK ÂżQDQFH PLQLVWHU *HRUJH Osborne told reporters his continental euro zone colleagues “will have left Paris under no misunderstanding that there is a huge amount of pressure on them to deliver a solution to the crisisâ€?.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told reporters he was encouraged that the latest EU moves toward an overall strategy to tackle the two-year-old crisis contained the right elements, notably a recapitalization of European banks. “They clearly have more work to do on the strategy and the details, but when France and Germany agree on a plan together and decide to act, big things are possible,�

Geithner said. “I am encouraged by the speed and direction in which they are moving.�

SAN ANTONIO - It’s been said that what the world knows about the United States is what people see in Hollywood movies, and those perceptions could soon become reality in Texas. Those who try to slip across the Rio Grande from Mexico into west Texas may find themselves arrested by newly sworn-in Hudspeth County Sheriff’s Deputy and action film star Steven Seagal.

Seagal, currently starring in an A&E Network reality show detailing his experiences as a reserve deputy in New Orleans, contacted County Sheriff Arvin West about his interest in “patrolling the border”, West said. He was sworn in this week for the position in Hudspeth County, which runs along the Rio Grande east of El Paso, West added. Seagal, 59, could not be reached for comment.

“Mr. Seagal is not in this for the celebrity or publicity,” West told Reuters. “He has a sincere passion for his country and he wants to do more to help. I think he will make a significant contribution to this office and to our community.” Seagal starred in big-budget films in the 1980s and early 1990s, earning a reputation as an action star in movies like “Above the Law” and “Under Siege.”

In the last decade, he has appeared mainly in direct-toDVD, low-budget films while working in law enforcement.

His last role was as a corrupt Mexican drug lord in the Robert Rodriguez grindhouse flick “Machete.”

After Seagal expressed interest in joining the Hudspeth County department, two members of the department traveled to Los Angeles to talk to the actor about his proposal and to make sure he was serious, said Rusty Fleming, a spokesman for the sheriff and one of the two who made the trip.

“We were very quick to find out that he was not doing this for publicity,” Fleming said. “He wants to come down to the border and work and try to do his part.” Hudspeth County, population 3,400, is on the front lines of border issues ranging from illegal immigration to drug gangs. West once made headlines when he urged people who live in the county to buy a gun and “learn how to use it.”

It was also in Hudspeth County that singer Willie Nelson was arrested on marijuana charges last fall. Two reality TV shows focusing on the border are being filmed in the county, Fleming said.

LOS ANGELES — The robot boxers of “Real Steel” and the dancers of “Footloose” are in a tight fight for the box-office title. The Hugh Jackman tale about machines in the boxing ring took in $16.3 million, which would make it the No. 1 movie for the second-straight weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday.

But “Real Steel” came in barely ahead of the remake “Footloose,” which opened with $16.1 million.

The movies are close enough that they could switch rankings once final numbers are released Monday.

Studio estimates are based on actual business Friday and Saturday and projections for Sunday based on how well similar movies typically hold up.

An executive at Disney, which is distributing “Real Steel” for DreamWorks Pictures, said he expects his movie will come out on top because of strong family crowds during daytime shows Sunday.

“Absolutely,” said Dave Hollis, Disney’s head of distribution. “The way we’ve been playing, the families who’ve been coming and the kind of day-time business we’ve had on each of the weekend days so far, we have the expectation that it won’t be terribly close. They’re free to estimate as they will, but we expect to be No. 1.”

Paramount, which released “Foot-

loose,” was tracking its movie’s revenues slightly ahead of those for “Real Steel,” said Don Harris, Paramount’s head of distribution.

“Footloose” was doing especially strong business in the Midwest and South, and the studio had hopes that those rural crowds would turn out in big numbers Sunday, Harris said.

“It’s close enough to be a dead heat at this point,” Harris said. “If we get that middle of the country that seems to be preoccupied with high school football on Friday and college football on Saturday, then it bodes well not only for a big Sunday but for the legs of the movie.”

Universal’s horror update “The Thing,” about Antarctic researchers stalked by a shape-shifting alien, opened at No. 3 with $8.7 million.

Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson’s bird-watching comedy “The Big Year,” released by 20th Century Fox, flopped at No. 9 with a $3.3 million opening.

“Real Steel” raised its domestic haul to $51.7 million. The movie

also took in $23.3 million overseas to lift its international total to $56.6 million and its worldwide earnings to $108.3 million. “Footloose” is a new take on the 1980s film about a youth (Kenny Wormald) challenging a town’s ban on dancing. The remake also features Dennis Quaid and former “Dancing with the Stars” contestant Julianne Hough.

It’s rare that the top two movies flip-flop in the rankings after final numbers come out Monday. Last summer, Universal’s “Cowboys & Aliens” and Sony’s “The Smurfs” were tied for No. 1 right to the dollar based on Sunday estimates.

But “Cowboy’s & Aliens” finished $800,000 ahead once Monday’s final numbers were released.

“There have been a lot of close races this year,” said Paul Dergarabedian, an analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood.com. “I don’t think there have been as many breakout hits, so you have a lot of these films just kind of bunched up together.”

TORONTO — A 100-year-old runner became the oldest person to complete a full-distance marathon when he finished the race in Toronto on Sunday. Fauja Singh earned a spot in the Guinness World Records for his accomplishment.

It took Singh more than eight hours to cross the finish line — more than six hours after Kenya’s Kenneth Mungara won the event for the fourth straight year — and he was the last competitor to complete the course.

But his time wasn’t nearly as remarkable as the accomplishment.

Event workers dismantled the barricades along the finish line and took down sponsor banners even as

Singh made his way up the final few hundred yards of the race.

Family, friends and supporters greeted Singh when he finished the race. “Beating his original prediction, he’s overjoyed,” his coach and translator Harmander Singh said. “Earlier, just before we came around the (final) corner, he said, ‘Achieving this will be like getting married again.’

“He’s absolutely overjoyed, he’s achieved his lifelong wish.”

Sunday’s run was Singh’s eighth marathon — he ran his first at age 89 — and wasn’t the first time he set a record.

In the 2003 Toronto event, he set the mark in the 90-plus category, finishing the race in 5 hours, 40 minutes and 1 second.

And on Thursday in Toronto, Singh broke world records for runners older than 100 in eight different distances ranging from 100 meters to 5,000 meters.

The 5-foot-8 Singh said he’s hopeful his next project will be participating in the torch relay for the 2012 London Games. He carried the torch during the relay for the 2004 Athens Games.

Study blames global warming for shrinking species Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON — From the mighty polar bear to the tiny house sparrow, many of Earth’s species appear to be shrinking in size, a new study reports. And the authors think it’s probably due to global warming, a little like wool sweaters that shrink when washed in hot water.

But other experts say that conclusion goes too far, blaming global warming for what may be natural changes. The new research was published online Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change. It’s based on a review of other studies and found that 38 of 85 animal and plant species showed a documented reduction in size over decades, including a type of Scottish sheep that is 5

percent smaller than in 1985.

Those studies looked at species over different time periods and in varying numbers.

The shrinking victims, according to the study, include cotton, corn, strawberries, bay scallops, shrimp, crayfish, carp, Atlantic salmon, herring, frogs, toads, iguanas, hooded robins, red-billed gulls, California squirrels, lynx and wood rats.

Two years ago, Scottish re-

searchers made news with the shrinking sheep study. Several studies have shown that polar bears, which rely on sea ice during the summer, also are not as big. And this latest study said the house sparrow’s weight has dropped by one-seventh from 1950 to 1990. A bird called the graceful warbler showed a 26 percent weight drop during the same time period.

“There is a trend in a number

of organisms across the board from plants to big vertebrates getting smaller,” said study coauthor Jennifer Sheridan, a biology researcher at the University of Alabama. “The theory is as things get warmer they don’t need to grow as large.”

Most of these animals are cold-blooded so the warmer the weather, the faster their metabolism is and the more calories they burn, Sheridan said. There’s a biological law, called Bergmann’s rule, that says that as it gets colder, animals get bigger.

This is the unwritten flip side of it, she said.

But Yoram Yom-Tov, a zoolo-

gist at Tel Aviv University whose studies Sheridan used in her research, said many species are shrinking, and you can’t blame global warming exclusively.

“Changes in body size are a normal phenomenon,” Yom-Tov wrote in an email. “When conditions are favorable, they increase in size or reproduce at higher rates, and when conditions are deteriorating, they do the opposite. I think that most species will adapt to climate change and survive. No need for alarm.” And Stanford biologist Terry Root, an expert in climate change, said the study’s conclusions “seem kind of far-fetched.”

On Sunday, IndyCar drivers got a harsh reminder when the worst happened to one of their own.

Red Bull expects closer race in 2012 Red Bull Racing expects a much stronger challenge from its rivals next year, with team principal Christian Horner thinking its back-to-back title success will have ‘upset’ the opposition.

The Milton Keynes-based outfit delivered its second successive title double at the Korean Grand Prix, with its clinching of the constructors’ crown coming just one week after Sebastian Vettel won the drivers’ championship.

And, as the team now switches its focus to 2012, Horner says his team does not expect it will be able to repeat the level of dominance that it produced this year.

“It never gets easier that is for sure, it would be foolish to underestimate the likes of Ferrari,” said Horner, when asked by AUTOSPORT about the challenge his team will face gunning for a third consecutive title in 2012.

“They are a phenomenal team with tremendous pedigree, as are the likes of McLaren, the likes of Mercedes-Benz. “But we are not foolish enough or arrogant enough to think that this kind of performance is normal. It is abnormal, and it takes a super human effort to try and achieve.

“For sure our competitors are going to be pushing hard over the winter. To do it [win the title] once they can probably tolerate, to do it twice probably upsets a little. But for sure we have got continuity

in all areas and that is very important.”

Red Bull Racing’s technical chief Adrian Newey elected to skip the Korean Grand Prix so he could return to the factory to ramp up efforts on next year’s car And Horner says that the outfit must make the most of the limited track running opportunities it has before RB8 hits the track next February.

“The focus has to start moving towards next year,” he said. “We have less than four months to design and build a completely new car, which is why Adrian elected not to attend this race. He is busy back in the UK focused on RB8.

“The remaining races are the only track time other than a young driver test between now and when the new car is born, so we will look to learn everything we can out of the track with the time we have available and that means pushing right up until the chequered flag in Brazil.”Horner also paid tribute to the efforts of his staff this year in delivering a second world title in a manner that was even better than its first. “It is very special because when you do it for the first time, there is all the emotion of having achieved it and having done it for the first time.
