Se cos? fosse non mi strapperei certamente i capelli (anche perch? ormai non c'? quasi pi? niente da strappare )

 

Il sig. Willis ha partecipato all'inizio del declino della Williams in qualit? di responsabile dell'aerodinamica ed Head glielo fece pesare quando, nel 2002, pass? alla BAR: "I have to say I think Geoff was running our aero department in a way that I would liken to a cottage industry and he was unwilling, or unable, to see the bigger picture. He was encouraged many times to expand our aero capability and he seemed to be more concerned at keeping it small and compact."

 

Giunto in BAR, sminu? il lavoro svolto fino ad allora da Reynard ma fatto salvo il prestigioso 2? posto del 2004, non ? che abbia fatto sfracelli (senza dimenticare il giochino del serbatoio nascosto).

 

In Red Bull ? durato pochissimo.

 

Mi sa che ci sta speculando un po' su per vedere se riesce a rientrare da qualche parte.

cosa pensate dell'idea di kolles di schierare un pilota esperto la prima ora di venerd? per sviluppare la macchina?

 

secondo me l'idea ? buona ma credo si possa fare ben poco per risolvere la situazione

[harlock 0]

che tristezza quella vignetta, tristemente vera

[gio66 6]

cosa pensate dell'idea di kolles di schierare un pilota esperto la prima ora di venerd? per sviluppare la macchina?

 

Che ? una balla.

Non hanno i soldi per fare niente, figuriamoci se li possono usare per pagare un pilota esperto. Semmai potrebbe succedere il contrario, cio? che qualche pilota che vuole entrare in F1 a tutti i costi paghi per girare il venerd?, ma la situazione tecnica non cambia di una virgola.

 

A Shanghai le cose andranno ancora peggio.

"I think it is a big challenge for us, this track, because of the long curves. Certainly, for a car that is still somewhat below the level of downforce that it needs to be, these long curves will further undermine the reliability of our tires which will suffer more.

 

The choice of the hard tires for that track will be more complicated for us, for sure. We'll have to try to find the best setup in terms of balance,

 

[About the fuel tank] The issue was that they had two tanks with the new specification, but mine was poorly made, it had a defect. In Australia, when I lost two practices it was because the fuel lines were obstructed in my tank, so we had to run with the normal tank, but now we have an equal one.

 

As you can imagine, a tank of more than 200l is a huge container of liquid, and every time you brake, accelerate and do turns with a car, all the liquid goes up, down...

 

It needs to have a path that the fuel goes up and down and not back, it has to go forward. The tank, the way it is, even now [as in the car #20], doesn't have this path well done, which causes the problem. A third version has to be done and that may be introduced in Barcelona.

 

With a full tank there is no problem, but as it goes down, the fuel will always move away from the fuel admission.

 

Dimmi tu a cosa pu? servire un pilota esperto a questo punto.

Disastro.... Nemmeno avessero i soldi potrebbero recuperare credo, non sarebbe comunque tardi???

 

La cosa sconcertante ? che accanto a dichiarazioni cos? si vedono foto del team sorridente, e altre interviste dove sembra tutto normale..

"This is the lowest grip I've ever had in my life!"

 

Rassicurante...

[Supernova 23]

Fino a un mese fa mi si "rimproverava" che fossi troppo pessimista, in realt? la situazione era chiara da mesi, la HRT si ? sempre saputo che fosse un catorcio...

A mio parere fare i catastrofisti adesso non ? giusto, cosa vi aspettavate? che si potesse fare una figura decente con una vettura del genere?

La situazione ? questa e non pu? migliorare n? da parte della vettura n? da parte dei piloti e non ? solo questione di soldi... senza test non si v? da nessuna parte e non si pu? crescere... quelle che potranno crescere saranno le scuderie organizzate e con esperienza, la HRT rester? sempre su questi livelli e in gara punter? solo ad arrivare al traguardo con un ritmo da taxista...

Se si capisce ci?, si guarderanno le gara con un'ottica diversa e meno disfattista, senza sperare che arrivino soldi o che succeda chiss? quale miracolo... anzi la situazione tender? a peggiorare, ma non facciamone drammi...

Dai un nuovo sponsor molto munifico

 

Hispania joins forces with FCACA

16 April 2010

 

 

The Hispania Racing team has announced a sponsorship deal with FCACA in Shanghai. The logos of the China-based motorsports enthusiasts website can now been seen on the cockpit sides of Bruno Senna and Karun Chandhok.

 

With Hispania, originally formed as Campos, entering its fourth Grand Prix this weekend, the Madrid-based outfit's drivers attended an FCACA-supported karting event in China on Thursday at Shanghai International Circuit Kart World.

 

"Mr Chen, CEO of FCACA, was interested in taking part in the global exposure offered by F1 to promote motorsport in China and felt that the best way to do this was to have a real connection and understanding of F1," said Team Principal Colin Kolles. "I'm glad to help with this project and enjoy FCACA's passionate enthusiasm."

 

"To accompany Hispania Racing in its adventure is a good way to get our message across to the fans and promote our newly launched website "hicaca.com"," added FCACA's Chen. "The FCACA livery is already a familiar sight in the Chinese Rally world and now in the WRC (World Rally Championship). To compete is what really matters."

HRT sign Yamamoto as test driver

The HRT team have signed former Super Aguri and Spyker racer Sakon Yamamoto as the team?s official test driver and reserve race driver for the 2010 season. The Japanese will join race drivers Indian Karun Chandhok and Brazilian Bruno Senna.

 

"I am very pleased to be joining the HRT F1 Team,? said 27-year-old Yamamoto. ?It is fantastic to be part of a new team and I hope I will be able to gather useful data whenever possible on Friday for the race drivers.

 

?I have seen how committed everyone at the team is and I feel the same. I will be doing my very best to support Karun and Bruno this year. I'm proud to work with this Spanish team, because Spain is like my second home as I also live in Barcelona."

 

Yamamoto got his first taste of F1 racing in 2005, as the Friday test driver for Jordan at the Japanese Grand Prix. He continued racing in the Formula Nippon and Super GT series in 2006 but also earned a full-time F1 race drive with the Super Aguri F1 Team.

 

The following year he joined the GP2 Series while testing for Super Aguri and also racing for the Spyker F1 team from the Hungarian Grand Prix onwards. In 2008, he joined the Renault F1 team?s driver development programme while continuing to race in GP2 and the GP2 Asia series where he also continued competing in 2009.

 

"It's a great pleasure for us to have signed Sakon Yamamoto as our test driver and reserve race driver for the 2010 season,? said HRT team principal Colin Kolles. ?I am confident that his input into the development of our car will be useful and means another reinforcement of our team as the European season starts in Barcelona.

 

?We look forward to welcoming Sakon to the team and working closely with him. His addition makes HRT F1 Team one of the most international teams in the paddock."

HRT sign Yamamoto as crash test driver

[gio66 6]

Yamamoto era quello con la nonna che pagava?

 

E' la mamma.

 

Comunque questo non fa altro che confermare l'idea che ho di Kolles e della F1 attuale.

Hai ragione.... vedendo per quanto ? inguidabile quella macchina poteva andare "molto" ma "molto" peggio
