  • Caso De Estudio
    Caso de Estudio Ferrari F1 Una cultura de campeones Domingo, 13 de octubre de 2002. Suzuka, Japón La decimoséptima y última prueba de la temporada 2002 de F1 es el Gran Premio de Japón. Para rematar la excepcional temporada de Ferrari, Michael Schumacher sale en primer lugar, logra la vuelta rápida y se proclama campeón. Ha hecho podio en cada prueba del campeonato, terminando primero o segundo y con solo un tercer puesto en Malasia. Con un total de 144 puntos, Schumacher es campeón del mundo con una ventaja récord de 67 puntos sobre su inmediato seguidor, su propio compañero de equipo, Rubens Barrichello. De hecho, Schumacher se había asegurado el título en el Gran Premio de Francia, a falta de seis carreras por disputar aún. Habiendo conseguido quince de las diecisiete victorias posibles y hecho veintisiete podios, Ferrari ganó el campeonato de constructores por un margen todavía mayor, 221 puntos, más que todos los otros equipos juntos. El absoluto y categórico dominio de Ferrari en la temporada 2002 de F1 hizo que muchos aficionados afirmaran que el deporte había perdido su magia competitiva, con la habitual toma y daca de las carreras, sustituido por las predecibles victorias de la escudería italiana. Pero tal dominio no se consiguió fácilmente ni fue predecible. Surgió de una visión audaz y un plan maestro para crear un dream team, que costó conseguir una década de infatigable esfuerzo. Siendo el equipo más antiguo de la F1, ha estado compitiendo en todos los Campeonatos del Mundo desde el primero en 1950, Ferrari ha cimentado su reputación en el deporte de motor, fabricando grandes coches y produciendo pilotos igual de grandes, como Alberto Ascari en la década de 1950, Juan Manuel Fangio en 1956 y Niki Lauda en los setenta.

  • Speed™, Fox Sports Continue Team Approach to Formula One Coverage in 2010
    SPEED™, FOX SPORTS CONTINUE TEAM APPROACH TO FORMULA ONE COVERAGE IN 2010 BUXTON JOINS SPEED AS GRID REPORTER SPEEDTV.COM TO DEBUT FANTASY GAME, ENHANCED VIDEO OFFERINGS The familiar faces of Bob Varsha, David Hobbs and Steve Matchett once again will lead the SPEED/FOX Sports Formula One broadcast team as SPEED rolls into its 15 th year as the exclusive U.S. cable broadcaster of the FIA Formula One World Championship, beginning with live coverage of the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix on March 14 at 7:30 a.m. ET. One face, however, will be new to the U.S. viewing audience. Will Buxton, the 29-year-old founding editor of GPWeek magazine, will report from the grid, replacing Peter Windsor, whose efforts remain focused on his start-up US F1 project. “First up, I've got to admit that I’m just massively excited about the whole thing,” said Buxton, who will join the team shortly after he and wife Emma welcome their first child. “It’s a huge honor to be joining the SPEED team, and in particular to be doing so at the start of what could be an incredible era in the history of Formula 1. “F1 is a bit of a soap opera at times,” Buxton added. “As a journalist it’s what makes the sport such a joy to report on. There’s always something going on in the background, and I won’t shy away from doing my best to get to the heart of every issue. That said, I don’t think that my job at SPEED is simply to report the news.

  • The Day the Music Died in F1,Down Under F1 Trash
    BAKU, BELICHICK AND THE NFL DRAFT Okay, it has been a while since we had a real Trash Talk. So here we go. Not a particularly deep one, but between the NFL Draft, which has been pretty interesting, and the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku, it seemed like a decent opportunity for one of our off season points to talk a little sports trash. First up, Baku. Frankly, Azerbaijan has made significant and important strides since the breakup of the USSR. While I am not totally comfortable with the support that a continuing Grand Prix provides, it is nowhere near as troublesome as F1 bucking up truly oppressive and evil middle eastern nations like Bahrain and Abu Dhabi. At any rate, it is what it is, and the street course in Baku is truly beautiful. Extremely so. It does not, however, allow many opportunities for overtaking and passing. Starting grid position is at a premium, and Vettel of Ferrari and Hamilton of Mercedes are on the front row. Kimi Raikkonen was on pace to be the pole sitter through early sectors in Q3, but had a blip. Was amazing driving to pull his butt out of it without shunting his car into a wall, but the time blip cost him dearly and he will start in P7. The race looks to be very promising, even if a tad processional, especially at the front. Alonso, seems slow, and could not even get his McLaren out of Q1. Now the NFL draft. Rounds 1-3 are in the books. Many teams seem to have done quite well for themselves, including the Brownies and Jets.

The faculty of SHAPE International High School’s Belgian section during my year in the Quatriéme (4éme) Moderne stretched my conception of what I thought was a conventional program by requiring Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Macroencomics, Microeconomics, Math, French, German, English, Physical Education, Art, Music, Religion, History, and Geography classes all in one week.
