beh anche la ferrari ha mostrato di adattarsi bene alle curve veloci, e in verità  si è trovata bene anche in curve lente come a montreal

il suo problema sono le curve lente su piste ad alto carico, dove non riesce a genererarne abbastanza, mentre quando bisogna scaricare le ali riesce, grazie ad una buona meccanica, ad essere una tra le migliori..

Ci sarà  da divertirsi nel primo e nel secondo settore. Nel primo soprattutto con tutte quelle curve veloci in successione con l'aerodinamica che si ritrova la Red Bull lo mette in quel posto a tutti.

Volendo fare un minimo di paragone con Silverstone, lì la Ferrari andava piuttosto bene. Inoltre, i lunghi rettilinei potrebbero anche dare una mano

Unpredictable F1 can win over American audiences - Martin Whitmarsh

Formula 1 has a better chance than ever of cracking the American market now that DRS and Pirelli's tyres have made the sport more unpredictable, reckons McLaren team boss Martin Whitmarsh.

The world championship returns to the United States this weekend at Austin's Circuit of the Americas, five years after F1's last US Grand Prix at Indianapolis.

Whitmarsh believes F1 has had a sea change in its approach to entertaining its audience during its absence from the US. He thinks that change of attitude could be key to winning over an American market that has tended to eschew F1 in favour of NASCAR over recent decades.

"North American sport focuses significantly on entertainment," said Whitmarsh in an interview for the Australian GP podcast, "and Formula 1 over the years has probably not placed enough emphasis on that.

"Now, if you look at the last few championships, you've got a lack of predictability.

"Things like DRS, which the purists would never have accepted in yesteryear, was a right and appropriate concession to be made to the spectacle.

"Formula 1 is much more unpredictable and, as a consequence, much more entertaining than it was only a couple of years ago. We're not going to go quite as far as World Wrestling Federation-style sport..."

Whitmarsh feels the reasons why F1 has previously made few ripples in America are obvious and solvable.

"America is such a vast market, and it's such a car market - they love motor cars in North America, and I think we've got a product that's very different to NASCAR but ought to be able to conquer America," he said.

"We've failed to do so for a whole variety of reasons - we've been intermittent in our time there, we haven't focused enough on the entertainment as is necessary, we've generally been in the wrong place and we've done no promotion, so I think there's a great challenge but also a great opportunity.

"We have a product that can work there. At the moment Formula 1 is less predictable, and now is the time that we've got to go to America and work hard.

"We need North America more than it needs us, and therefore we've got to be prepared to work at it, adapt the sport if necessary but make sure we do everything we can so we can appeal to the American market."

He added that the impact of success in America on F1 could not be underestimated.

"You only have to walk up and down the paddock and look at the [sponsor] names that emblazon the cars, the garages and the team shirts," said Whitmarsh.

"They're effectively the primary investors in our sport, and I imagine 98 per cent of those names will put America in the top three of their major markets. So it's massively important."

Sebring, 1959

Jack Brabham, in testa fino a poche curve dal traguardo, finisce la benzina ma non si dà  per vinto e spinge la sua Cooper giungendo 4° e laureandosi campione del mondo piloti e costruttori. Sullo sfondo la Ferrari di Tony Brooks che lo precede sotto la bandiera a scacchi per 3 secondi.
