And: the red goddess leads the way in the Gulf. But first, the country and its people: welcome to Bahrain! >>00:33 People and country 00:01 The kingdom of Bahrain – 92% desert, yet translated it means: two seas. 00:10 Original sound: Sheikh Salman bin Isa Al Khalifa, Manager Bahrain International Circuit, English „Around the gulf there are many water springs, which leads to 2 different layers of water: fresh water and saltwater.“ >>00:17 00:18 And inland: no rain from above - but bubbling up from below: oil. And, surprise, surprise, the drinks bubble here too! In Bahrain there is no alcohol ban. 00:27 Manama is the Las Vegas of the East. 00:31 The fastest way to the party Mecca? The King Fahd Causeway: at the weekend party tourists from the entire region go hog wild. Or not. Pork is still taboo. 00:45 Just like champagne on the podium: in its place there's rose water! Sorry, Kimi . 00:48 How is Formula 1 going down in Bahrain? 00:53 Original sound: Sheikh Salman bin Isa Al Khalifa, Manager Bahrain International Circuit, English RTV GmbH Tel.: +49 70 31 64 90-50 USt.-ID-Nr. / VAT-ID: DE164706327 Otto-Lilienthal-Str. 24 Fax : +49 70 31 64 90-66 Amtsgericht Stuttgart HRB 243623 71034 Böblingen · Germany eMail: [email protected] GF / Managing Partner: Oliver Bauss, Oliver Koblenzer Seite 3 von 30 "In the beginning nobody knew what to expect , and then my cousins and aunts came and everybody else said: Hey, Alonso and all these famous drivers are showing up here. So the entire region started to soak in Formula 1.“ >>01:12 01:14 On the desert circuit Uncle Alonso and Aunt Scuderia are among the big winners - Ferrari has two victories more there than anyone else! End: 01:26 min 00:00 The Scuderia and the desert state – a successful relationship.>>00:03 The Scuderia and the desert 00:03 The 'Cavallino Rampante'. 00:05 The epitome of speed. 00:07 The symbol of power. 00:10 Behind it: the red legendary brand. The upwardly mobile team last season – from fourth to second. After a disastrous 2014, Ferrari now seem to be backing the right horse: 00:27 Original sound: Sebastian Vettel, Scuderia Ferrari, English “I think last year was very good for us, very positive, obviously the success early on that we had helped to stabilize the team. But nevertheless it’s still a young team. A lot of new people and now they’ve been in the job for one year.” >>00:42 00:44 After the surprise success last year, the pressure of expectation is high. Australia showed that Ferrari is more than just on Mercedes' tail. This year, red aims to finally beat silver. 00:57 Original sound: Maurizio Arrivabene, Team Principal Scuderia Ferrari, English “This year it’s the year for us where we have to demonstrate, that the expectation of the public is going to be satisfied by our result, of course, it’s not an easy task. We are working very very hard, and we are all committed to give our driver the best possible car!” >>01:19 01:22 And here she is - the red goddess: the SF16-H. 01:34 RTV GmbH Tel.: +49 70 31 64 90-50 USt.-ID-Nr. / VAT-ID: DE164706327 Otto-Lilienthal-Str. 24 Fax : +49 70 31 64 90-66 Amtsgericht Stuttgart HRB 243623 71034 Böblingen · Germany eMail: [email protected] GF / Managing Partner: Oliver Bauss, Oliver Koblenzer Seite 4 von 30 In three words: 01:37 Original sound: Maurizio Arrivabene, Team Principal Scuderia Ferrari, English „Design, Power and sensuality.“ >>01:42 01:44 The new paintwork is reminiscent of the legendary Ferrari 312T2, the extremely reliable car in which Nikki Lauda won the world championship in 1975 and '77. 01:58 Original sound: Sebastian Vettel, Scuderia Ferrari, English “From the outside you see that the car looks slightly different, there’s a bit of a new design going on, which I like a lot and I think it looks very nice. Obviously my helmet suits the white topic on the car.” >>02:10 02:12 The nose of the red goddess has also been changed. The front section of the SF16-H now looks quite different from its competitors. The aesthetic result is a matter of taste, but the shorter nose fulfils its purpose: 02:25 Original sound: Simone Resta, Chief Designer Scuderia Ferrari, English “Well, we’ve been designing the short nose for the new chassis looking mainly after aerodynamic improvement of the flow under the chassis. >>02:36 02:38 Over the last four years, the Scuderia - the only team to do so - put its faith in pull-rod front- wheel suspension. Not anymore. With a push rod, they'll now be pushing not pulling. 02:51 Original sound: Simone Resta, Chief Designer Scuderia Ferrari, English “The front suspension has been chosen for mainly three reasons. One, again for aerodynamic reasons. Secondly for weight, as it offers a better compromise in terms of weight to stiffness-ratio. And third, as it offered better choices in terms of kinematics.”>>03:09 03:11 Under the hood, too, there have been some changes. An important factor in a hybrid drive system is thermal efficiency - the relationship between heat-flow fed in and power put out. Ferrari have done a lot of work on this. 03:26 Original sound: Mattia Binotto, Power Unit Director Scuderia Ferrari, English “The efficiency of our power units are quite incredible. If you look at what exists in the world, what we are achieving so far is really the highest possible and really unbelievable.

But then it needs to be. To improve a car that was already quite reasonable – last year’s car – to make something this year which was also a big step forward, you need to take some bolder steps. And on this year’s car, we have a very high proportion of new, bold approaches, and that’s necessary for us to make the sort of step forward that we need to make.” >>04:10 04:10 Original sound: Sebastian Vettel, Scuderia Ferrari, English “I think everybody is fired up and and we want to win. The target is clear, the expectation is there. So we see how close we are and how much there is to do during the season.” >>04:23 04:24 Bahrain is the tradition-steeped Italian team's the 911th grand prix. With four victories on the desert circuit, they have their nose clear of the other teams. 04:32 Whether they have the best horse in the stable remains to be seen - until then: 04:40 Andiamo, Cavallino Rampante! End: 04:46 min 00:00 Bahrain 2006: where it all began -a blond angel conquers the grid.>>00:05 F1 debut of Rosberg in Bahrain 00:03 10 years ago today. Nico Rosberg: younger, blonder, less well known. In 2006, he was still pretty much a novice, looking up to his father and 1982 Formula 1 world champion: Keke Rosberg. The passion for motor racing was thus probably in his genes... 00:23 Original sound: Nico Rosberg, Williams F1 Team 2006, German "It certainly is phenomenal for me. Since I was very small, I've always followed and watched it and now I'm here as a driver myself, sitting in the same seat where my father sat 24 years ago - it certainly is something very special for me." >>00:34 RTV GmbH Tel.: +49 70 31 64 90-50 USt.-ID-Nr. / VAT-ID: DE164706327 Otto-Lilienthal-Str. 24 Fax : +49 70 31 64 90-66 Amtsgericht Stuttgart HRB 243623 71034 Böblingen · Germany eMail: [email protected] GF / Managing Partner: Oliver Bauss, Oliver Koblenzer Seite 6 von 30 00:37 Nico Rosberg, raised in Monaco among the rich and beautiful. From one glamorous world into another, that of Formula 1: promotions man, heartthrob, shooting star. 00:56 Now, we go even further back, to 2002. Nico aged 17: the youngster wins the Formula BMW championship. A huge success for him, an emotional highlight. And it gets even better..
