The FIA has handed Ferrari the approval to supply a 'fourth team' with a 2015 specification power unit, which is set to be supplied to Scuderia Toro Rosso.

FIA President Jean Todt and Bernie Ecclestone are to be given fresh powers to govern the future direction of Formula 1 following a mandate approval handed down by the World Motor Sport Council

Following a meeting of the WMSC, a 'near unanimous number (one vote against)' agreed to mandate Todt and Ecclestone the opportunity to 'make recommendations and decisions regarding a number of pressing issues in Formula One'.

These matters are categorised as 'governance, Power Units and cost reduction', with Todt and Ecclestone now a*** to express their intention to establish conclusions on these matters by 31 January, 2016.

Wolff: Driver tension may force line-up change
Mercedes says it will consider replacing either Lewis Hamilton or Nico Rosberg if their trou*** relationship starts hurting the Formula 1 team.

Papildysiu dar AF1, kad visgi buvo galutinai pritarta dėl 21 etapo tvarkaraščio. Vienintelė problema išlieka Austino trasa (subject to agreement with the promoter and the ASN). Europos GP (Azerbaidžano) ypatumai - race start to be scheduled to avoid conflict with the conclusion of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Gera situacija F1: "..about the incident Perez had in FP1 Hungary, and the reason the suspension failed on that car was because the component had actually been used far more than its allotted lifetime/mileage and they couldn't afford to manufacturer a replacement component.."

Geros naujienos

The FIA has announced it will allow in-season engine development until at least the end of the 2019 season.

As before, the number of tokens an engine manufacturer might spend on development tapers off through to 2020, although more will be allowed year-on-year.

Therefore, 32 will be permitted in 2016 instead of the 25 previously allowed, with 25 in 2017, 20 in 2018 decreasing to 15 in 2019. Previously, manufacturers could spend only two tokens that year.

In addition, token levels have been set for new engine manufacturers entering the sport after Honda were given an average of the number Mercedes, Renault and Ferrari had remaining by Australia this year. That figure was worked out at nine.

In the future, a new manufacturer will be allocated 15 tokens in their first year, and 32 in their second.

“Renault had two options: to come back at 100 percent or leave. After a detailed study, I have decided that Renault will be in Formula 1, starting 2016. The final details supplied by F1’s main stakeholders gave us the confidence to accept this new challenge. Our ambition is to win--even if it will take some time,” said Carlos Ghosn, Chairman and CEO, Renault.

Bus benefit tiek Renault, tiek F1. Ghisnas is Bernie ismuse additional Legendary payment ir sukirto rankom.

Red Bull seal deal to run TAG Heuer-branded Renault engines in 2016

McLaren's long-time sponsor secure naming rights for Renault engine on Red Bull car; Christian Horner confirms Ilmor will work with Renault; 2016 car to be called Red Bull Racing-TAG Heuer RB12

After one of the biggest U-turns in recent F1 history, Red Bull will continue to be supplied by Renault next season but the V6 power unit will not carry the French manufacturer's name.

The choices for each car will remain secret until 2 weeks before the race," F1's official tyre supplier continued. "The choices made by each team can vary for each of its cars: so each driver within a team can have a different allocation.

I think they (CVC) will make up their mind in the next few months. I hope that before the start of the 2016 championship in March, we will have decided if we sell -- or not," the 85-year-old Briton added.

Among those reportedly interested are the Miami Dolphins' Stephen Ross, Qatar's sports investment arm, Sky and international telcom Liberty, the billionaire father of new Williams tester Lance Stroll, or even Dietrich Mateschitz, CVC's Donald Mackenzie or Ecclestone himself.

I Hamiltono vs Rosbergo tema. Inzinieriaus Jock Clear, dirbusio su JV, LH ir MS nuomone:

I went to a very interesting Engineering talk last night in Sailsbury where Jock Clear was the guest speaker.
He in a nutshell spoke about what is was like to be an engineer in Formula One at such a successful level.

He being behind the scenes knows a hell of a lot more about what really goes on in F1 than any of us will do. He has worked with many drivers from Johnny Herbert to Lewis Hamilton and Micheal Schumacher.

The arguments with VET and WEB he said were medias opportunities of making a story and rumours to go around the paddock. There was no separation between the team as “sides” and all data was shared openly. Jock basically said that under the circumstances Webber couldn’t pull his season together, he didn’t have the mindset and didn’t use those around him at his full disposal like Vettel did which is why Vettel won multiple championships in a row.

Now about the Hamilton Bashing, I am not a fan of his mostly because I have always favoured Button or others but again Jock has worked with Hamilton as Head of Engineering in Mercedes and he said Hamilton is a very likea*** and easy guy to work with. He said he was the real deal and is the best driver in the team because he gets the people in the team and in the factory behind him. This is something we don’t see because he leads the life of a James Hunt styled playboy. I find it fascinating because Jock worked with Nico but he said they didn’t get on. Rosberg is too focused on the numbers and and how the other driver is doing that he forgets about the other bits and Jock effectively slagged him off because Rosberg was sat along side Micheal for 2 years was it? and he said he learnt nothing off him because he was always comparing data and not seeing how Micheal got a team working together. This is something Jock says Vettel and Hamilton do very well and shows why they are superior to their teammates.

Geros pastabos. True. Reikia tam tikro charakterio ir mindseto.

Sita Bernie ir Maxo interviu butina pasiziuret:

"...All this occurred whilst the FIA stewards were deliberating on whether Ferrari had cheated by sacking their staff – having them hired by Haas for a short period – and then having them sacked by Haas F1 before being rehired by Maranello..." - kaip funkcionuoja F1 :)

Cia daug kas kur taip funkcionuoja. It is business.

The Bloomberg news agency claimed the engineer Benjamin Hoyle, working for the German marque's F1 engine facility, took documents and data as he prepared to move to Ferrari.
Hoyle, who intends to join Ferrari after December, saved a 2015 Hungarian grand prix race report, engine data and code to decrypt race data, the report said.
"Mr Hoyle and potentially Ferrari have gained an unlawful advantage," a filing, echoing an earlier espionage scandal in F1 involving McLaren and Ferrari, reportedly reads.

Mercedes has confirmed that it is taking legal action against an employee, who is alleged to have gathered confidential information and data ahead of a planned move to rival team Ferrari.

Renault, Mercedes ir Ferrari siulo atsisakyti MGU-H dalies varikliuose - taip juos supaprastinant ir atpiginant. Tam kol kas priesinasi Honda, mat i F1 sugrizo butent panasiu technologiju perkelimo i gatves (nors MGU-H ir buvo didziausia japonu motoro beda siemet...).
Gamintojai siulo atsisakyti nuo 2018, Todtas nori nuo 2017

Didziausias fail'as ir yra ta jegaines dalis ir realiai ji niekam neidomi ir nesuprantama.

Santander UK sponsorins Mclaren

AF1> idomi ji yra gamintoju inzinieriams gamykloje, nes realiai tai yra bene vienintele didele naujove (jei neskaitysim viso PU kaip bendros sistemos), kuria butu galima perkelineti i paprastas auto - pasalinus MGU-H liks more or less elementarus turbo motoras su KERS.

Mercedes are "torn" between what Lewis Hamilton does on the track and what he does off it, according to an unnamed team principal.

O cia tikslas, del kurio bus daromi visi pokyciai:
F1 chief Bernie Ecclestone says he hopes Sebastian Vettel wins the world title for Ferrari to "renew" the team's relationship with the sport, and describes Mercedes' dominance as "boring".

Aš jums sakau, kad kitų metų titulo Mercedes tikrai nelaimės. Ir visiems bus aiškiau, kaip Formulėje viskas veikia..

#lazybos_2016 ?

extremezai kiek nori statyt kad alonsas taps ciampijonu kitais metais? :D

Kas del to boring tai jau senai buvo sakes, tik ta fraze apie renewal tai pirma karta isgirdau. O siaip tai cia kazkur buvo imestas maxo ir bernio pokalbis su zurnalistais ten labai protingai tie du senukai pakalbejo apie tai kokia dabar situacija f1 ir kaip todas gryba pjauna :D

Sensejus> tu man rasai kazka, rasai, bet viskas veltui :)

Mosley ir BBC Hardtalk pakartojo ta pati - kad Todtas perdaug linkes i kompromisus ir bijo "nuliudinti kai kuriuos zmones" - Bernie ir Mosley noretu kietesnes politikos, ypac gamintoju atzvilgiu.

Kad boring ir kenkia sportui Bernis sakė ir apie RedBull su SV dominavimą. Panašu viskas yra boring ir kenkia sportui, kai ne Ferrari dominuoja. Logiška, nes pas Ferrarius daugiausiai fanų.

Panasu kad viskas yra boring kuomet veiksmas trasoje......boring. Prisiminkime 2008 metus, va ten tai sezonas buvo...

2011 metu sezonas buvo labai idomus veiksmo trasoje praseme, neskaitant nuvaziavusio i prieki Vettelio. Paziurekit oficialia FIA sezono apzvalga. Nustebsite. Yra parsisiusti rutracker'yje.

2002, 2004, 2013, 2015 - didelio skirtumo nera. Todel kaltinti viena ar kita komanda biski naivu. Bet kuri ilga laika lyderiaujanti ir ITIN atsiplesusi komanda yra blogai. O kokios spalvos jos bolidas, ar is kokios ji salies - totally irrelevant.

Bernie su Usocium akivaizdziai buvo susitare dar pries turbo era, kad jie gaus kakzokiu ziniu, ar laiko ar dar kazko, kad galetu uzsilipti i Nr.1. Ta jie padare. Deal done. Dabar galima juos nuleisti ant zemes.

Dėl šių metu tikrai ne mersus kaltinti reikia, o visus kitus, kad grybą pjauna.

Visgi kietas Schumis buvo. Ir jau nuo paciu pirmu sezonu Benettone:


One of the early things that he asked for was a speedometer. At first we all laughed at this – race drivers use the tacho (rpm meter). So he explained that the tacho was very useful but “If I come out of the corner in 3rd gear or I come out of the same corner in 2nd gear, I want to know whether it actually helps my acceleration. Do I reach a higher top speed or is the extra acceleration in 2nd lost when I change gear? If I change gear earlier in top gear, when the engine feels a bit flat, I want to know whether it helps my top speed. If I change the actual gear ratios, then all my references are gone if I’ve only got rpm.” So, to the rescue came Richard Marshall (Head of Electronics) and we gave Michael a digital speed display.

So Michael had his little remote speed display, he used it to help with his driving technique, but then he commented that he felt that it wasn’t quite as easy as he’d thought to read. He said: “In the middle of a corner, when I’m making the apex, it’s a bit hard to focus on the speed. Things are changing so quickly so you can’t really watch the speedo and be sure that you’ve seen the lowest speed. Then, if you want to watch your top speed at the end of the straight, it’s not so easy to watch there either because you’ve really got to be watching for your brake marker.” So what he said he would really like now was 3 speed displays. I suspect at this point we looked a bit puzzled so he explained what he wanted: “I’d like to keep the real-time speedo in the middle, where it is. Then on the left I would like a speed display that shows the minimum speed in a corner. It should hold that speed until I go for the brakes again. Then when I go for the brakes that can be reset to give me the new minimum speed. Then on the right I’d like another speed display to remember the maximum speed I reached until I’ve been flat on the throttle for a second or two so I can read the maximum speed from the previous straight”. Richard went back to work out how that could be done and gave Michael that arrangement. You can imagine that the displays themselves and the way they were configured went though some iterations.

So we gave him those and then he started to play. He would experiment with ratios, driving styles, racing lines and also use it to assess setup changes. After a few years Michael decided he knew how to drive a F1 car now and didn’t need the speedos any more, but that was a learning exercise for him.
