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.

After the first two races, Max has a tally of 16 championship points and is in 4th place overall. Max'sPreview Baku City Circuit: "Baku looks really cool and I really love street circuits.

I am really looking forward to the weekend and we will give it all with our team to secure the best possible results." "After our successful first race weekend in Bahrain of course within the team we are all highly motivated. However, with all the joy, we still know that we haven't got a season's ticket for the podium. Those results require hard work and F2 is an extremely competitive championship. We know that we have to do our homework right and that the competition is very strong." "I learned a lot during the Bahrain weekend. Now it's up to us to optimize some things.

  • Video 14 – Turkey Preview
    Video 14 – Turkey Preview [Cut to Christine. ] Chris: Welcome to Sidepodcast TV , today we are previewing the Turkish Grand Prix. [Intro shots of Turkey. Cut to Christine. ] Chris: It’s not long since Toro Rosso announced their split with driver Scott Speed in favour of German Sebastian Vettel. Now the team have announced their second Sebastian signing, this time in the form of Bourdais, double Champ Car champion. He will replace Tonio Liuzzi for the 2008 season, in a move that Liuzzi describes as unsurprising. Relationships within the team have been strained for a while, so the decision to shake thing s up a bit for 2008 can only be a good thing. I wonder if McLaren will have to do something similar. [Cut to shots of Bourdais. Cut to Christine. ] Chris: Onto Turkey, then, it’s Formula 1’s third outing at the Istanbul Park Circuit, arguably one of the best from designer Herman Tilke. The track features the incredible Turn 8, that just seems to go on and on… but… I don’t want to spoil it for you. Here’s the lap in more detail. [Cut to Allianz animation.] Chris - Voiceover Although it’s still a relatively new track, the Istanbul Park Circuit has already become a firm favourite of both teams and fans alike. It still bears all the hallmarks of the Tilke design but there are some extra special bits thrown in to make it interesting, like the fact that the course runs anti -clockwise. This is the first of only two anti -clockwise tracks this year, which makes it a tough challenge for drivers.

  • 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.
