era brutta lo so

 

vedendo le altre vetture che miniaturizzano tutto e sono sommerse da ali e alette questa Marussia sembra "umana", non si può non simpatizzare per loro.

Australian GP Friday quotes: Marussia Friday, March 15th 2013, 09:11 GMT

 

 

Jules Bianchi - 19th/19th: "It has been a very good first practice for the Team and for me, so I am quite happy given that it is only my third day in the car. I have been looking forward to this day for quite a long time and it really worked out well I think. I'm sure it's the case for other teams as well, because this is only day one, but it is very encouraging to know that while we have a good basis today, there is a lot more to come. We completed a detailed programme and put some good mileage on the car, so we have a lot of information to look through and see the direction for tomorrow. The car is performing well but we have quite a lot of understeer and we need to improve this. As for the track, I like it a lot. It takes a bit of getting used to at first, but once you are up to speed it's an amazing lap and now I can't wait to do some more tomorrow."

 

Max Chilton - 20th/21st: "Our objective today was to learn the Albert Park track as quickly as possible and then start to gather plenty of information with the car and the tyres, so I'm pretty happy with what we've achieved in terms of the programme. Now we can start to piece that together a little more to focus on outright performance and I think tomorrow we will have a clearer idea of where we stand versus the cars around us. Even at this early stage though I'm sure we can feel positive about where we are in relation to our immediate competitors and the car has shown some real promise. Though its early in the season, that's a nice reward for all the hard work we've been doing over the winter and in testing, so well done to the Team here and back at home. So, a late night tonight looking at the data and then we'll aim to push forward again tomorrow. Albert Park is an amazing circuit and I've loved every second of driving it so far. Tomorrow will be another big milestone in my debut weekend with my first Formula 1 qualifying and I'm very excited about that."

 

John Booth, Team Principal: "We're very pleased with our opening day here in Melbourne and it really couldn't have gone any better for us with our new car, two new drivers and some good signs in terms of performance and reliability. We came here with a few concerns about how things were going to play out with the tyres, but we also knew that the less abrasive track surface and high ambient temperatures would mitigate many of the issues we experienced in testing. Degradation will remain a challenge though and we can expect to see some interesting racing as a consequence of that, which is of course a good thing. We're feeling positive but at this stage we're not treating this as anything other than a good first day and we won't have a true picture until we've completed our first qualifying and then have a race distance under our belts. What I will say though is that the Team have got us off to a good start here and the drivers have done a very solid job, so there's a nice feeling as we head into our first Grand Prix of the new season. We've done all our homework today and put the drivers in a good situation to make the most of their first Grand Prix weekend, so we will see what tomorrow brings now."

La Marussia ha fatto un bel salto in avanti (o ha fatto la Caterham un passo indietro? )

Secondo me entrambe le cose...

Australian GP race quotes: Marussia Sunday, March 17th 2013, 10:32 GMT

 

 

Jules Bianchi - 15th: "I am very happy with my race today and really can't imagine a better start to my first season of F1. Yesterday's qualifying was quite a challenge but today I felt very calm as I looked forward to this moment. Generally everything went very smoothly in the race and we worked our way through the tyre management issues as well as we could in order to maximise the possibilities. We have not had the luxury of time so I would like to thanks my engineers, car crew and the whole team for helping me to be as prepared as possible and for a great job today. It would seem that the Team have made a big step over the winter and it is very nice to see them reacting positively to this."

 

Max Chilton - 17th: "I am happy with my Formula 1 debut and although it was less than straightforward, it's good to get it under my belt and to know where we stand relative to the competition. The coming-together with Van der Garde early in the race damaged my front wing, which meant I had to stop for a wing change. This put me back out on track such that I hit the blue flag period and it was a bit of a battle to recover the ground I lost. I had a really good fight with Van der Garde and closed the gap enough to be able to pass him. From there I was able to demonstrate more of my true pace and I was posting laps around three seconds faster than him. Although the race had its frustrations, I feel like I've learned a lot that I perhaps wouldn't have learned otherwise and that will be useful experience over the next few races. I'm looking forward to Malaysia now so I can roll all that back into my racing and be able to take the fight to the midfield pack."

 

John Booth, Team Principal: "Generally we are pleased with our debut race with the MR02 and happy that the positive signs from pre-season testing were an accurate reflection of the true performance level of our early package. Jules drove a fantastic race and quickly left the Caterhams in his wake to focus on the midfield pack in front. We had started on the Supersoft tyre and perhaps underestimated how quickly the degradation would come on these tyres, so we made a very early swap onto the Mediums which enabled Jules to get back into contention. Unfortunately, by this stage, there was a reasonable gap to the Williams in front and Jules did a good job to gradually eat into that.

 

"The rest of his race was really based around stopping when the rate of tyre degradation got too high. The very late stop to the second set of Supersofts came about when we had some substantial front wear on his last set of prime tyres. Under normal circumstances perhaps we would have carried on but with a pitstop time loss easily in hand to the cars behind, we decided it was safer to stop. Max was unfortunately caught out by a collision with Van der Garde early on in the race, which forced him into a stop for a new front wing.

 

"The loss that a pitstop of this nature entails unfortunately meant that he hit the blue flags much sooner than Jules and in this situation it was always going to be difficult to recover. He overtook him in the race but with such a big gap to Pic there was not enough time to reel him in. We leave Melbourne satisfied that we have definitely progressed over the winter. We should certainly never underestimate the midfield teams, however I think we've shown today that they are realistically within striking distance. As a team we must work as hard as we can over the next few races to seize the opportunity to be racing them. I'd like to thank everyone back at Banbury for their hard work, and also our engine supplier Cosworth. We are also very pleased to have had such a successful debut with the new KERS system."

La caterham ha più o meno la macchina dell'anno scorso, la marussia inoltre ha anche il kers. Quel che è certo è che dopo 4 anni sono ancora straultime, e anche quest'anno mi sa che prenderanno 0 punti. Ad anni di distanza dal loro esordio non si può certo dire che abbiano (hrt compresa) portato chissà quale valore aggiunto. Sono le forti, le simtek e le pacific nel nuovo millennio

Visto che le altre hanno thread a sè perchè non lasciare solo Marussia

Interessante notare che è comparso il logo della PDVSA sul muso della monoposto.

 

Chi è il collaudatore della Marussia?

Non è che è per caso un pilota venezuelano?
