The company is believed to have taken the decision after indications in Japan that the automotive markets are not getting any better, Honda having recently announced a 56% drop in earnings in the last quarter, compared to 2008. Prior to that the company was looking at other options, such as selling the team on to someone else. This has now been axed and the company will simply close things down and settle all the necessary contractual commitments as quickly as possible. The news, if confirmed, will be another blow to the manufacturer power in F1 as it will be the third withdrawal by a major car company in 11 months, following in the footsteps of Honda and BMW. There are also doubts about the future of Renault's factory team. The news will also be a blow to the Formula One Teams' Association, although the members have learned that working together produces much better results than trying to take on the authorities alone. It also means that there are now just three manufacturers left: Ferrari, Mercedes and Renault, and engine supply from Cosworth will become essential to ensure there are sufficient engines to go around.

  • Official Media
    WELCOME BACK TO BAKU Dear friends, On behalf of Baku City Circuit, please let me welcome you to the third successive Formula 1 race weekend in Azerbaijan. Last year’s race in Baku was widely recognised as the most exciting and dramatic race of the year – if not the decade – by members of the media, teams, drivers and the global F1 fanbase alike. It truly was a race that had it all culminating in the most unexpected podium line up in many years. The fact that this historic race occurred under our new event title as the FORMULA 1 AZERBAIJAN GRAND PRIX filled us with an even greater sense of pride and satisfaction for a job well done. This year we once again welcome the world to Baku at the slightly earlier date of late April to bear witness to the awe-inspiring sight of F1 cars negotiating one of the fastest and most testing circuits in Formula 1. Baku City Circuit’s winding, narrow sequences, 90-degree turns and high-speed straights - all set against the breath- taking backdrop of Baku’s UNESCO-protected old city, magnificent skylines and beautiful seaside promenade - have proven to be a major challenge to the current F1 grid, resulting in last year’s spectacular outcome and many on-track altercations. We are very confident of a similar explosion of drama, speed and bravery occurring once again for the 2018 edition. Furthermore, the off-track entertainment will be bigger and better than ever before with world-class music, visual and conceptual artists once again performing all along the specially constructed Fan Zone all weekend.

  • Shanghai International Circuit Functional High-Tech Aesthetics for a Representative Debut in the World of Formula One
    Shanghai International Circuit Functional high-tech aesthetics for a representative debut in the world of Formula One Nothing is impossible in Shanghai, China's richest and largest city. This bustling metropolis on the Yangtze river, a boomtown fabled for its capacity for dynamic change and its appetite for superlatives, has long become a symbol for true speed. The new business district Pudong with its three million inhabitants was built within just a decade. In less than two years, the world's first commercially used Transrapid trainline was constructed and put into operation. At 430 kilometers per hour, this supertrain speeds from the new Shanghai Airport to Pudong and back. The latest example of "Speeding with Shanghai" is its multifunctional motor racing circuit, which marks the transformation of the city into a venue for international motorsport. This technically sophisticated and currently most expensive Formula One racing track in the world has taken just 18 months to build. The circuit, unique both in its architecture and in the motorsport experience it promises, will be inaugurated by Schumacher et al. in China's first ever Grand Prix on 26th September, 2004. At an average speed of 205 kph, the Formula One drivers will cover the seven right-hand and seven left-hand bends of the circuit in just 95 seconds. Some of the turns are so far unique, like the one at the end of the pit straight which tightens as you go into it: the driver hits this corner at about 300 kph and must slow down to 120 kph to negotiate the ever- tightening bend.

  • Get a Better Understanding to What Factors Caused the on a Race-To-Race Basis, Focusing Solely on the Impact Season-To-Season Changes in Overtaking Frequencies
    Journal of Sports Analytics 7 (2021) 119–137 119 DOI 10.3233/JSA-200466 IOS Press Overtaking in Formula 1 during the Pirelli era: A driver-level analysis Jesper de Groote∗ Amersfoortsestraatweg 92 A4, Naarden, North Holland, Netherlands Abstract. The introduction of DRS and rapidly-degrading tires in 2011 boosted on-track overtaking levels in Formula 1 to unprecedented highs. Since then, overtaking has steadily decreased again, culminating in a 60-percent reduction in 2017. In this paper, using a Poisson model on individual-level overtaking data from 2011 to 2018, it was found that about half the decrease can be attributed to the cars, 20 to 30 percent to the reduction in field size and about 20 percent to more uniform race strategies.
