Former Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo has revealed that Mercedes F1 chairman Niki Lauda informed him that the German team began work on their all conquering power unit a decade ago, long before the new turbo era kicked off.
Montezemolo told La Repubblica, “Lauda recently confessed to me that Mercedes were already working [on their hybrid engine] since 2007 and that’s why they so adamant during the negotiations to introduce V6 engines from 2014.”
Nu jo....
Luca Montezemolo said this week that Mercedes started work on its 2014 engines in 2007, but I think he might have been taking a little too much Kool-Aid, given that the rules were not formulated for a very long time after that. I guess the former Ferrari chairman needs to try to explain why Ferrari screwed up as badly as they did…
:D +1
McLaren have announced that their 2017 car will be called the MCL32, breaking with the ‘MP4’ nomenclature that had been in place since 1981.

“But the Super Bowl… is that so wonderful? I don’t want to be unkind, but Americans always think they can do everything better than anybody else. And they’re not always right as a lot of recent history shows.”
Mosley also believes that Liberty Media erred in not retaining Ecclestone in some capacity.
buvo galima tiketis, kad visai senajai gvardijai Super Bowl palyginimas uzklius - jau n'toji persona ta mini

India submitted an extradition request Thursday to Britain to send back Force India F1 team owner Vijay Mallya to face trial after he fled the country owing more than $1 billion.
Roebuck: At Monza in 2010, not long before his pal’s disastrous rally shunt, Alonso told me he thought Kubica had "the best talent of all of us", and Hamilton, too, privately confided that he feared Robert more any other driver, the two of them having been rivals back to karting days. So that is how much of central figure F1 has missed in the last couple of seasons.
The German had been drafted in for the opening day of wet tyre testing, which was aimed at checking on the progress of Pirelli's wider rain rubber with Ferrari's mule car on the artificially-soaked track.
However, early in the afternoon – and when believed to be on a warm-up lap - Vettel lost control of the modified SF15-T on the track section that descends from the right hander after the bridge crossing.

- Ferrari's engineers aren't satisfied with data coming from wind tunnel and simulators
- Project started by Allison has been quickly finished by Byrne in order to do not arrive unprepared to first 8 test days
- Some changes that are in project are so big that it is possi*** to have a B-spec car at european GPs
- Longer wheelbase rumors should be tied with B-spec car
- B-spec car is already in wind tunnel by some weeks
- Main changes should be done to car rear zone and other changes will be done in order to gain more downforce that in A-spec is considered "very low"
- In order to limit lost laptime Ferrari's engineers are "squeezing" hp from PU on benches
- Gap from W08 and new Ferrari car should be bigger than the one between W07 and SF-17H at the end of the season
Straipsnio apie Ferrari esme:
1) Alisonas sukure bloga bolida, bet metu viduryje ji ismetusi Ferrari tai pamate tik dabar
2) Del galimu bolido problemu motoras bus daromas galingesnis, nes siaip butu buves specialiai negalingas

Sainz says karting has also been an integral part of his training routine.
The Spaniard drives with a special helmet on, with an extra two kilos of lead attached to it in order to increase the g-forces generated in the corners.

FIA to issue clarification on 'trick' suspensions, Ferrari fails to find unanimous support
Laiškų rašymo sezonas baigėsi. Belieka tikėtis, kad „Ferrari“ yra bent kažką padoraus sukūrusi.
Bottas ir Rosbergas:
"Valtteri is very talented. He can achieve great things as well, as long as the team give him a good car," Rosberg was quoted as saying by Reuters.
"He has asked if we can have a chat soon and I am happy to do that, of course - but I will stay very, very neutral.
"I won't give away any Lewis secrets for example, I'll just help him in a way to integrate better into the team."
Cia rosbergas atrodo kad nori but vienintelis nugales hamiltona, tai neisduos silpnybiu :)
Apie ta pati Rosberga:
