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.

I was hoping 30th season and 500th grand prix. 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.

  • Santander and Formula One (A)
    IES250 October 2011 Santander and Formula One (A) Introduction In the final months of 2009, Santander’s Board reflected on the Bank’s recent progress in brand unification. Starting with the UK’s Abbey National which had been acquired in 2004, Santander had been making great progress in its effort to rebrand local offices, gained in over 10 years of acquisitions, under the Santander name. According to Chairman Emilio Botín, “Our position as an international group, with multinational management, creates the need to present a unified image within the market to customers and to society overall. This common identity reinforces the value of our brand and creates internal solidarity as well as external visibility, trust and credibility. There is no doubt that becoming ‘more of a group’ is the general ambition.” In 2007, physical rebranding of the branch offices was beginning and Santander management had identified the need for a communications platform that would facilitate brand recognition across its various new markets. As Santander’s Second Vice-Chairman and CEO Alfredo Sáenz explained, “In a sector like finance, the ability to generate trust in the market and, in particular, with investors and customers, is crucial. Thus, companies must have a communications strategy that facilitates relevant and transparent information, which allows for proper function within the markets, reduces reputational risk, plays an essential role in our corporate government model, and helps create a powerful corporate culture and a strong brand image.” This case was prepared by Professor Julián Villanueva and Julie Ziskind, Research Assistant, as the basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of an administrative situation.

  • Sidepodradio (Part 22) – F1 Minute Compilation 1Pm
    Sidepodradio (Part 22) – F1 Minute Compilation Lisa: You’re listening to Sidepodradio, and now it’s time for F1 Minute. 1pm Welcome to the first of eleven very special Sidepodradio F1 Minutes, it’s the 20th September 2009 and it’s half past one. Following on from the news that BMW are concerned their drivers will have to have grid drops due to engine changes before the end of the season, Sebastian Vettel has confirmed that he hopes he can escape without penalty. He said they plan to continue limiting Friday running and other than that all they can do is hope for the best. The suggestions that the team might change the engine a couple of times in one weekend and thus suffer just one penalty is not one that appeals to Vettel. He admits they could have done it at Monza, when he started low down and finished with just one point, but to try and predict when the best time to take a penalty is almost impossible. Clearly he hasn’t met RG. In not‐quite‐so F1 news, it is Montoya’s birthday today. The Columbian ex‐Williams driver turns 34 today, so he can celebrate that and reaching the Chase in NASCAR, whatever that is. That’s all for now, I will be back in half an hour with another F1 Minute. Me: Ah, you love it. You love it, be honest. You love it. Christine: That was fun. Me: Sidepodradio is going to kill us. It’s actually going to break the two of us.

  • SPORTS 2424 Monday, May 1, 2017
    Red-hot Nadal wins 10th P23 Barcelona Open SPORTS 2424 Monday, May 1, 2017 Sochi altteri Bottas claimed his maiden Formula One victory yesterday when he resisted intense pressure from championship leader Sebastian Vettel to triumphV for Mercedes in a tense Russian Grand Prix. The Finnish driver, starting from third place on the grid, grabbed the initiative at the start by powering past both Ferraris and into the lead while his Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton struggled home fourth. Four-time champion Vettel finished second ahead of Ferrari team-mate Kimi Raikkonen who claimed his first podium finish since last year’s Austrian Grand Prix. The popular Bottas’s first win was warmly received by his fellow drivers and the paddock, Hamilton hugging him after he had jumped into the arms of his crew and Vettel joining the reception, Russian President Vladimir Putin also present for congratulations and prize giving. “Worth the wait!” said the unflappable Bottas in typical understated style after coming home just six-tenths of a second ahead of Vettel at the flag. Dutch teenager Max Verstappen finished fifth for Red Bull ahead of Mexican Sergio Perez and his Force India team-mate Esteban Ocon, German Nico Hulkenberg of Renault and Brazilian Felipe Massa of Williams. The result lifted Vettel clear at the top of the drivers championship with 86 points ahead of Hamilton on 73 with Bottas up to third with 63 points. Mercedes lead the constructors title race with 136 points to Ferrari on 135 after four rounds of this year’s championship. Bottas became Finland’s fifth Formula One race winner following Keke Rosberg, Mika Hakkinen, Kimi Raikkonen and Heikki Kovalainen, who was the last from the Nordic country to triumph, at the 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix.

    FEDERATION INTERNATIONALE DE L' AUTOMOBILE 2017 FIA Formula One World Championship Bahrain Grand Prix Saturday Post-Qualifying Press Conference Transcript DRIVERS 1 – Valtteri BOTTAS (Mercedes) 2 – Lewis HAMILTON (Mercedes) 3 – Sebastian VETTEL (Ferrari) TV UNILATERAL Q: It must be a brilliant feeling for you Valtteri, describe the emotion? Valtteri BOTTAS: Yeah, obviously really, really happy. It’s the first pole in my career. It’s my fifth season now in Formula One. It took a few races but got it and hopefully it’s the first of many. But just want to say big thanks to the team for giving me this car, to drive it on pole. We’re both starting on the front row. I think we made a really good job this weekend, to really focus on the evening conditions and we really managed to get a lot of lap time out of the car in the slightly cooler conditions and hopefully that’s going to help is tomorrow as well, so grateful for the team. Q: This is what you came to Mercedes for, of course. How did you do it? What was the key this evening for you personally? VB: You know, it’s not an easy track to get everything right. It is quite technical; there are quite a few difficult braking points, turning ins to the corner, it’s easy to have a lock- up or just miss the apex slightly. So it is just getting the lap together and to get the car well balanced. It was a good enough lap for the pole today, so that’s good.
