Raikkonen: dove lo paghi, sta

Lo faccio ma è comunque una rottura. A copincollare non ci vuole molto (lo faccio sempre quando riporto news da altri siti).

Magari era contrario e/o non conta a sufficienza. Che il motore Mercedes sarebbe potenzialmente stato una bomba lo si diceva molto tempo prima della fine del mondiale 2013. Probabilmente qualcuno ha sottovalutato le voci. Oppure c'era un certo interesse nel blandire la perennemente ritiranda casa della stella.

Non trovo nulla di sbagliato in quello che dice. Il congelamento dei motori v8 non lo decise lui in prima persona quando venne deliberato per il 2007 e appunto beneficiò come gli altri costruttori di periodici scongelamenti che avevano l'obiettivo di riportare un equilibrio nelle prestazioni tra i vari fornitori. Non è colpa sua se il coanda effect gli altri non sono riusciti ad implementarlo ed integrarlo con la stessa efficacia: potenzialmente avevano gli strumenti per riuscire a farlo. Con questo regolamento e queste PU non è così. P.s. potresti copincollare i contenuti? Quel sito usa i cookies e dopo un tot di visite non si possono leggere le news.

Leggo su crash.net di un'altra possibilità per Alonso, propiziata da nientepopodimenoché Bernie Supremo Ecclestone: accasarsi per un anno alla Williams evitando l'anno sabbatico. Il corrispettivo, oltre alla visibilità , sarebbe un appoggio del team al veto per lo scongelamento dello sviluppo dei motori nel corso della stagione. Bottas andrebbe in Force India, provvisoriamente. "Felipe baby, Fernando is faster than you" bis?

Cosa c'entra lo sviluppo della monoposto (qualsiasi essa sia)?

Motore Mercedes: Legenda by Craig Scarborough:

Rosberg ha firmato il rinnovo a luglio, la famosa settimana più bella della sua vita (matrimonio e non ricordo cos'altro).

Se Hamilton lasciasse questa Mercedes e la McLaren diventasse un rullo compressore, sarebbe semplicemente epico. Il Fangio dell'ultimo decennio, sempre nell'abitacolo giusto. Quasi spero che sia così

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/116206 Formula 1's top teams rejected a move by the FIA last year to introduce closed cockpits because they felt the structures would make cars look 'shockingly' ugly. While Jules Bianchi's accident at the Japanese Grand Prix has served to re-open the debate about drivers having better head protection, it has emerged that FIA efforts on improving safety in this area were put on the backburner nearly 12 months ago. After work on closed cockpits by the FIA ramped up during 2012, the governing body came up with the idea of a roll structure solution in front of the driver. However, AUTOSPORT has learned that last October, during a meeting of F1's Strategy Group, the FIA made clear that if it was to continue expensive work on making closed cockpits a reality then it needed the support of teams. According to the minutes of the meeting that was distributed afterwards, leading F1 figures involved in the discussion - including Bernie Ecclestone, Red Bull boss Christian Horner, then McLaren chief Martin Whitmarsh and then Mercedes boss Ross Brawn were all against it. While accepting there were safety benefits from having an extra roll structure around the driver, they all agreed that the looks were not fitting for F1. Horner was quoted as saying the cars looked 'shockingly bad' while Whitmarsh said they were 'shockingly ugly'. The teams agreed that F1 was about open-cockpit racing and the roll hoop solution - which Whiting said was the only closed cockpit concept that the FIA believed could work - was not an avenue that they wanted grand prix racing to go down. The minutes of the meeting noted: "It was agreed that the project should be discontinued." While a roll cage solution is beneficial in certain situations - especially in deflecting objects heading towards the driver - it is unclear how much of a help it would have been in the kind of impact that Bianchi suffered. Bianchi's car speared off the track and ran head first underneath the overhang at the rear of a heavy recovery vehicle. The French driver's family issued a statement from Japan on Tuesday revealing that he had suffered a diffuse axonal injury. Video:

Basti dire che Todt ha affidato l'indagine sportiva a Charlie Whiting quando lo stesso Charlie dovrebbe esserne primo oggetto.

With Christian Horner confirming that Vettel is off to Ferrari, Alonso was suddenly heavily pressured as to his future plans. With Daniil Kvyat already confirmed as Vettel's replacement, Alonso's only realistic destination appears to be McLaren, but he insisted he has not been backed in to a corner. “Whatever I want to do I will do in the moment that I want to do it, and I will race more or less in whatever place I want,†Alonso said. “After that the others will move their position probably. When I finally make my decision we'll see what it is.†While his bravado was akin to an injured animal trying to ward off predators, there was another cryptic comment that creates further intrigue: “For the last two or three months you should understand already in which direction I'm moving but you didn't get it. When I tell you you will understand: 'Right, we should have known it'.†Allied to that, Crash.net was told by one senior driver that he has heard Alonso will end up “in a silver car†but not a McLaren. + The topic of three-car teams was big news during the Singapore Grand Prix weekend, but overshadowed by moves in the driver market at Suzuka. However, the focus is likely to switch back to the idea of running an extra car in Sochi as it is set for discussion among the teams when they arrive in Russia. For some drivers at least, the hope is for third cars to be approved in order to open up opportunities for new talent. One senior driver told Crash.net he believes a move to three car teams would be good for F1 - making the field more competitive - and also would allow a young driver already within the team's program the chance to race without having to move elsewhere. Ultimately, the future of other teams will decide whether three cars are required, but claims from McLaren racing director Eric Boullier that six months will be required to prepare for such a change appear wide of the mark. While that may be fair warning, contractually the minimum notice period for written in to their memoranda of understanding for a switch to three cars is 60 days. Inoltre: The surprise removal of Martin Whitmarsh at the beginning of the year took place thanks to the transfer of McLaren shares from the Ojjeh brothers to Dennis, but the F1 boss was given a long deadline in which to find the money to pay for his increased stake. The first deadline for payment is said to have now expired, with a second deadline now fixed for January next year. Should Dennis not secure the necessary funds, the board can force his removal, as the former team boss no longer has majority control. There was also believed to be a second condition to the ousting of Whitmarsh, with a confident Dennis promising the board he would be able to secure new funding for the once-dominant team now searching for a title sponsor. But with the Briton unwilling to drop his team's sponsorship rates to reflect McLaren's position in recent world championships, a new title sponsor has been rather difficult to come by. In the context of that information, a timely reminder that Berger has good - and long-standing - relationships with both the Ojjeh brothers and McLaren's Bahraini investors gave the replacement rumours rather more traction than they appeared to merit at first glance.

Avoja a crowdfundare... ci vuole un miliardo di tifosi, come minimo (parlo della fase 2, relativa alla F1).

Hanno anche preferenze naturali differenti sul tipo di vettura. E le Pirelli attuali ci mettono pure il carico, sia come tendenza al sottosterzo sia come necessità di preservarle con una guida "neutra".

Autosport.com scrive: Not even Alonso and Ferrari bosses currently know what the outcome of the next few weeks' critical talks will be. A new deal beyond 2016 and a renewed enthusiasm to make Maranello great again together is not impossible. Equally there could come an acceptance that it is time to part, leaving Alonso to move to a rival in 2015 or '16, or perhaps forced to take a sabbatical. Even Briatore, the man who has guided Alonso's entire career in F1 and knows well how paddock politics work, admitted it was impossible to predict what is going to happen. "I don't have the crystal ball," he said. "I just see now - and Mercedes are up there." La frase finale è da mind blown

Veramente è l'esatto opposto di quello che stiamo dicendo.

E' il bello del fantamercato: anything could happen.

Esatto.

Lo è da un pezzo. Eppure son sempre lì.

Lotus motorizzata Mercedes. Magari tornano ai livelli 2012/2013, dove gli mancava solo Fernando per vincere molte più gare.

I team second-tier. Sauber, per esempio, farebbe un ottimo lavoro e spenderebbe molto meno acquistando un pacchetto già pronto.

Si sono sempre opposti ferocemente a questa cosa, negli ultimi 20 anni circa. Non credo cambieranno idea.

Monisha Kaltenborn says Sauber wouldn't rule out merging with another team but says its base would have to remain in Switzerland. Following comments from Bernie Ecclestone that F1 could be set for eight three-car teams in 2015, Kaltenborn admitted that Sauber continues to struggle when it comes to raising budget. Asked about the possibility of a merger, Kaltenborn said that it would be something that Sauber would be open to - having been approached by Caterham about such a move last winter - but said the team's location made a satisfactory one difficult. "Whatever the deal is, it just has to make sense for us, and, because of our location in Switzerland, it's a bit difficult to have a team down the road come and say 'let's get together on this'," she explained, "So if one does something like this with us you have to be fully aware of the fact that since major assets that a team needs are in Switzerland and not in let's say England, I can't pack up my windtunnel and go across. “So you have to really be prepared then to have your centre there and it wouldn't be wise to lose the efficiency we have. We have a very high efficiency in our team, we didn't do that with BMW as well although were just some 300-odd kilometres away. They maintained the entity, the way it is, the structures we have to have that efficiency at a high level. “So, if something like this comes up, I think we would have to really have the centre still where we are and then see what the other team is willing to give up.â€

Mi domando, in ottica terza vettura, cosa si scatenerà per essere sulla terza freccia d'argento. L'anno prossimo monopolizzeranno il podio.
