OAKLEY IGNITES PARTNERSHIP with SCUDERIA FERRARI Submitted By: Canoe Monday, 12 May 2014 OAKLEY IGNITES PARTNERSHIP WITH SCUDERIA FERRARI Submitted by: Canoe Monday, 12 May 2014 Launch of New Scuderia Ferrari Collection Marks Start of Innovative Alliance BARCELONA, Spain, May 12th, 2014 – Oakley, Inc. today officially unveiled the latest Scuderia Ferrari Carbon Blade™, the jewel in the crown of the Oakley Scuderia Ferrari collection. Inspired by the namesake racing team, these special editions are the first products created to celebrate the alliance between these two leaders of innovation. Revealed by Scuderia Ferrari driver and former Formula 1 World Champion Kimi Räikkönen, the collection was launched at an immersive event in central Barcelona that brought together the expert engineering minds from Oakley and Scuderia Ferrari. Oakley Design Engineers Ryan Calilung and Ryan Saylor took to the stage alongside Scuderia Ferrari’s Alessandra Cenicola, the engineer responsible for the production of the front and rear wing of the F1 single seater, to share their experiences. Oakley’s “mad scientists” often draw design and mechanical cues from motorsport and automotive engineering, from chassis shape and clean lines inspiring frame design to the correlation of F1 suspension mechanics and Oakley hinge mechanisms. The group of high-performance experts shared their experiences of developing market-leading products, as well as looking forward to the endless possibilities that could come from this multi-year partnership. “The biggest inspiration behind the Scuderia Ferrari Carbon Blade™ can be seen in the materials used to create it.” said Ryan Calilung, Oakley Design Engineer. “Carbon fiber is central to the engineering process at Scuderia Ferrari, and we wanted to reflect that passion for excellence and cutting edge innovation in the Carbon Blade. Carbon fiber has been used before in eyewear, but never in this way. Rather than shaping pieces from flat rigid plates, we molded the carbon layers into a flexible frame structure, creating a highly engineered solution.” “When we sign an agreement with a new partner, we look for leaders in their industry who share our vision and values,” said Andrea Perrone, Ferrari Brand CEO. “Innovation, passion and commitment to results underpin everything Scuderia Ferrari does. Oakley represents all those things in the eyewear field and is a company that makes innovation a driver for its success. We are very proud and excited at Ferrari for this partnership, both for us as a brand and for all the Scuderia Ferrari fans around the world.” The limited edition Carbon Blade™ is the halo of the 8-piece Scuderia Ferrari collection. Each model carries color highlights in Scuderia Ferrari red and is laser-etched with the Scuderia Ferrari emblem in the corner of the lens. Custom packaging and a custom case make each edition a collectible. Synonymous with a full roster of sports racing, the Oakley icon is now a symbol of excellence in Formula 1, one of the most popular sporting events in the world. With the partnership agreement, Oakley is the Official Licensee in eyewear, as well as the Official Page 1 Supplier to Scuderia Ferrari. The team’s racers, Fernando Alonso, Kimi Räikkönen, Pedro de la Rosa and Marc Gené will carry the Oakley logo on their F1 helmets throughout 2014 and wear the Oakley Scuderia Ferrari eyewear on and off the track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDAYdUDczTY For more information, images & prices contact: [email protected] , 0203 216 0022 Page 2 Distributed via Press Release Wire (https://pressreleases.responsesource.com/) on behalf of Canoe Copyright © 1999-2021 ResponseSource, The Johnson Building, 79 Hatton Garden, London, EC1N 8AW, UK e: [email protected] t: 020 3426 4051 f: 0345 370 7776 w: https://www.responsesource.com.

This will be followed by the unveiling of the 2007 car, the MP4-22, which Fernando and Lewis will use to contest this year's Formula 1 World Championship. The 2007 challengers will conduct a shakedown test at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo, Valencia, on Wednesday 17th January. The intensive pre-season testing programme will then commence on Wednesday 24th January at the same track. Pedro de la Rosa and Gary Paffett join Fernando and Lewis to complete the driver line-up. Pedro and Gary, who are starting their fifth and second years with the team respectively, will continue to support the ongoing technical development of the MP4-22 package during the course of the year alongside Fernando and Lewis. “This is a fantastic day for me - I am really proud to be introducing myself as a Vodafone McLaren Mercedes driver in my home country, and of course to help present my new team to the Spanish fans,” said double World Champion Fernando.

Palavras-chave: DEA, Restrições aos Pesos, Fórmula 1 1. INTRODUÇÃO Em geral, o objetivo da metodologia DEA é medir a eficiência comparada entre unidades de produção que desenvolvam a mesma atividade quanto à utilização de seus recursos e classificá-las em eficientes ou não-eficientes e dar uma medida relativa da eficiência para as não-eficientes. Além disso, outros objetivos da metodologia DEA consistem em estabelecer um ou mais benchmarks e posicionar as outras unidades em relação a eles ou ordená-las segundo as eficiências calculadas.

They are widely used in sports competitions consisting of multiple contests. We study the tradeoff between two risks in this setting: (1) the threat of early clinch when the title has been clinched before the last contest(s) of the com- petition take place; (2) the danger of winning the competition without finishing first in any contest. In particular, four historical points scoring systems of the Formula One World Championship are compared with the family of geometric scoring rules that has favourable axiomatic properties. The rules used in practice are found to arXiv:2101.05744v4 [stat.OT] 17 Jun 2021 be competitive or even better. The current scheme seems to be a reasonable com- promise in optimising the above goals. Our results shed more light on the evolution of the Formula One points scoring systems and contribute to the issue of choosing the set of point values.

That ethos was passed on to all FIA national member organizations. Top-level formula motor racing has been held in Japan in various forms since 1973, when Formula 2000 was launched. The competition morphed into Formula Two in 1978 and then Formula 3000 in 1987. Japan Race Promotion Inc. (JRP) was established in 1995 and relaunched the competition as Formula Nippon the following year. Hiroshi Shirai, previously project leader on Honda’s Formula One race team, became JRP president in 2010. In 2013, the name of the competition was changed again to Japanese Championship SUPER FORMULA and a bold plan was implemented to upgrade the race cars and lift the profile of the competition, with the clear aim of spreading the appeal of SUPER FORMULA from Japan to other parts of Asia and transforming it into a third great open-wheel racing competition after Formula One and Indy Car. (The competition’s name will change to the Japanese SUPER FORMULA Championship from the 2016 series). In the early days, formula racing in Japan was led by top drivers such as Kunimitsu Takahashi, Kazuyoshi Hoshino and Satoru Nakajima, who later competed on the global stage in Formula One. In the Formula 3000 era, Michael Schumacher and Heinz-Harald Frentzen competed in Japan, as did Ralf Schumacher, Pedro de la Rosa, Eddie Irvine and Toranosuke Takagi in the mid 1990s, all tenacious drivers aiming to make it into Formula One.
