Thanks should go to Scott Woodwiss for suggesting the topic, and the teams, and we’ll dive right in with Simtek Grand Prix. Simtek Grand Prix was Born from Simtek Research Ltd, the name standing for Simulation Technology. The company founders were Nick Wirth and Max Mosley, Both of whom had serious pedigree within motorsport. Mosley had Been a team owner Before with March, and Wirth was a mechanical engineering student who was snapped up By March as an aerodynamicist, working underneath Adrian Newey.

I think Williams have for a really special Adrian Newey-designed car last season but suffered in recent years from the surge in manufacturer teams for whatever reason it didn’t perform as well as many had such as BMW, Renault, Honda and Toyota. I hope that Frank expected. Red Bull certainly are a solid midfield team but now does not sell to a faceless brand because F1 needs Williams. is the time to push themselves and begin to climb the success This season the car has been looking good throughout testing ladder.

    570153 Ch01.qxd 9/18/03 12:04 AM Page 9 Chapter 1 Just the Formula One Facts In This Chapter ᮣ Understanding what Formula One is ᮣ Discovering who the most important people in the sport are ᮣ Getting a glimpse at a Formula One car ᮣ Touring the Formula One tracks ᮣ Recognising the sport’s business side ᮣ A calendar of events ormula One racing is, as its name suggests, the pinnacle of motor racing Faround the world. Small children don’t dream about growing up to race in lesser series – above all else, they want to be a winning Formula One driver. These days, the sport is a truly global circus. At almost every race on the cal- endar, more than 120,000 spectators cram into the grandstands and spectator banking, all vying for a view of the millionaire superstar drivers. At that same time, in 150 countries worldwide, more than 300 million people tune in to watch the fight for glory in the comfort of their front rooms. It is this sort of global following that has attracted huge sponsorship and left television stations around the world falling all over themselves to broadcast the races. The huge marketing drives put on by the sponsors have whipped up even more interest in the sport. Nowadays, only the Olympic Games and the football World Cup can boast the kind of viewership, backing, and inter- est that Formula One has – and those events only take place every four years. Formula One: A Grand and Global Sport Part of Formula One’s mass appeal is that it is truly a global sport.

A comparison has been undertaken between car and bike racing, as represented by Formula One and MotoGp, to establish any differences in approach. The initial historical element of the research revealed that motor sport had been sponsored by vehicle manufacturers since the origins of the petrol combustion engine in the late 19th century. Any suggestion that sponsorship of motor sport is a recent, late 20th century science has been dispelled. The investigation found that the sponsors of top level car racing place major importance on achieving awareness for their brands through media exposure, particularly television.

    FEDERATION INTERNATIONALE DE L' AUTOMOBILE 2018 FIA Formula One World Championship Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Thursday Press Conference Transcript 22.11.2018 PART ONE: DRIVERS - Lewis HAMILTON (Mercedes), Fernando ALONSO (McLaren), Lando NORRIS (2019 McLaren Driver), George RUSSELL (2019 Williams Drivers) PRESS CONFERENCE Fernando, it’s you final grand prix, can you describe your emotions coming into the weekend, please? Fernando ALONSO: So far I think it’s a normal weekend. I think on Sunday it’s going to be different, when it gets a little bit more emotions. But right now, I landed like 10 hours ago from Japan. I’ve been racing last weekend in Shanghai and I’m not probably into the mood yet of this final race. It feels OK right now. As I said, it’s going to be special, emotional, and hopefully a good one. Q: Lewis, on the subject of this being Fernando’s final grand prix. You’ve raced alongside him and against him. What kind of a rival has he been for you? Lewis HAMILTON: He’s been OK. We’ve had good times and bad times. I don’t really know what else to say. We’ve grown… he was obviously here before I was and achieved incredible things before I got here and also partly why I was here. It’s been a privilege to be in an era where he was racing Q: Will you miss him? LH: Will I miss him? Yeah, I think the sport will miss him. Q: Lando, you are going to be driving for McLaren in 2019 and you’ve been working with Fernando this year.

  • 19 June, 2005 Dear Mr Dupasquier, Dear Mr Shorrock, We Have
    FEDERATION INTERNATIONALE DE L' AUTOMOBILE 19 June, 2005 Dear Mr Dupasquier, Dear Mr Shorrock, We have received your letter of 18 June. We are very surprised that this difficulty has arisen. As you know, each team is allowed to bring two different types of tyre to an event so as to ensure that a back-up (usually of lower performance) is available should problems occur. It is hard to understand why you have not supplied your teams with such a tyre given your years of experience at Indianapolis. That the teams you supply are not in possession of such a tyre will also be a matter for the FIA to consider in due course under Article 151c of the International Sporting Code. No doubt you will inform your teams what is the maximum safe speed for their cars in Turn 13. We will remind them of the need to follow your advice for safety reasons. We will also ask them to ensure their cars do not obstruct other competitors. Some of the teams have raised with us the possibility of running a tyre which was not used in qualifying. We have told them this would be a breach of the rules to be considered by the stewards. We believe the penalty would not be exclusion but would have to be heavy enough to ensure that no team was tempted to use qualifying tyres in the future. Another possibility would be for the relevant teams repeatedly to change the affected tyre during the race (we understand you have told your teams the left rear is safe for a maximum of ten laps at full speed).
