SPIELBERG, Austria -- Pirelli says it may be able to lower its tyre pressure prescriptions at upcoming races if the FIAs new procedure for checking pressures has the desired effect.Since the Italian Grand Prix last year, the FIA has enforced Pirellis pressure perscriptions at each grand prix to make sure undue stress is not put through the tyres. In order to stop teams working on ways to reduce the pressures when the tyres are fitted to the car -- and therefore gain a competitive advantage -- the FIA will now check pressures before the tyres are fitted rather than when they are on the car. It is believed the new procedure will eliminate any tricks the teams found to heat up the tyres while they are checked on the car before cooling them on track to reduce the pressures.Yes we are working with them [the FIA] to improve the system of checking the prescription, Pirellis motorsport director Mario Isola said. With this new system, to check the tyres before they are fitted on the car, the pressure, we have a consistent system to measure it independent from the session.So in FP1, FP2, FP3, quali and race we measure all the tyres in the same way, we have consistent numbers in all the sessions, so we are 100 percent sure that only the blanket is heating the tyre and teams are quite happy because once they fit the tyre they are not allowed to bleed air but they have a reference pressure.I can give you a result in a couple of races when we have some numbers to evaluate but for me the system is working so lets see what is going to happen.Tyre pressures have become a sensitive issue in F1, with many drivers saying Pirelli consistently set them too high for the circuits. Following Friday practice in Austria, Fernando Alonso complained that F1 is the the only category where you cannot setup your own car.But with some teams finding ways to lower their running pressures, Pirelli has had no choice but to go conservative across the board. If the new system ensures running pressures consistently remain within the limits Pirelli is targeting, then Isola said the tyre manufacturer would consider lowering the pressure prescriptions from the historic highs that have featured at rounds so far this year.Of course. The starting pressures are based on simulation or our analysis, but then on our analysis basically we consider a qualifying lap and a race lap, and you measure the stress on the tyre and the stress on the tyre is linked to the running pressure.That is something that at the moment we are not enforcing, because we are enforcing the starting pressure. So depending on the running pressure, if now that we have changed the system, we measure higher running pressure, it means that we can drop down a little bit on the starting pressure, depending on the number that we measure because the target is to run at a certain pressure.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. -- What everybody hoped would be a storybook ending to an incredible day of racing at Saratoga on Saturday didnt quite turn out as most had expected, with Lady Elis comeback in the Grade 2 Ballston Spa spoiled by an unlikely nemesis, the 27-1 Strike Charmer.Lady Eli came into the Ballston Spa off nearly a 14-month layoff. She developed laminitis in both front feet shortly after running her record to 6 for 6 with a victory in the Grade 1 Belmont Oaks Invitational in July 2015. To say she defied the odds just making it back to the races at all would be an understatement. But in the end, the combination of the long layoff and a big performance by Strike Charmer proved just a bit too much to overcome.Strike Charmer benefitted from a fast pace and a perfectly judged ride by Junior Alvarado, who rated her at the rear of the pack and well off the pace set by Lady Elis stablemate Sympathy. Miss Temple City was the first to challenge the leader, taking command on the second turn of the 1-1/16-mile turf race with both Lady Eli and Strike Charmer on the move.Lady Eli rallied wide off the final turn and forged to a short advantage inside the eighth pole. Alvarado followed Ladi Eli while keeping Strike Charmer widest of all into the stretch. Lady Eli continued on gamely, but Strike Charmer finished best of all out past the center of the track to register a three-quarter-length decision while setting a stakes record of 1:38.77 over the firm turf.Strike Charmer, a Grade 3 winner earlier in the season, was coming off a fifth-place finish while beaten less than two lengths in the Grade 1 Diana earrlier in the meet.dddddddddddd She paid $57.50.I didnt think theyd go that fast early, but we knew where we needed to be with the pace going that way, said Mark Hennig, who trains the homebred Strike Charmer for the Courtlandt Farm of owners Donald and Donna Adam. Junior got off of her last time and said she was making up ground and wasnt really extending herself. So he felt like having learned something from riding her once, that he would be wide and kind of sit. Lady Eli took the overland route and I thought he did a great job hiding out behind her and letting her pounce, and we were fortunate enough to run her down today.Hennig said defeating a filly of Lady Elis reputation made winning a race like the Ballston Spa all the more special.Its an amazing story that shes come back from what she has, said Hennig. Any time that happens, we all feel it in the industry, but we dont mind raining on her parade today.Trainer Chad Brown was humble in defeat following Lady Elis first setback in seven career starts.Im disappointed that she got beat, but Im happy shes back to the races, said Brown. It looked like she got a little tired that last part. She made a big move there on the turn into a wicked pace and it just took a little too much out of her. We could have played it safe and just retired her. But shes perfectly sound, she has a huge following, and she acted like she wanted to run.Shes going to move forward and build off this, and were going to work our way to the Breeders Cup. ' ' '
