    PRESS RELEASE Brembo confirms leader status of motorsport competitions in 2014 season The Italian Company triumphs in all races of Formula One and MotoGP World Championships Stezzano, Italy, December 2014 – Brembo, world leader in technology and production of brake systems and high performance automotive components, confirms again its technological supremacy through a string of great successes in competitive motorsport competitions during 2014 season. The Italian Company has achieved ‘en plein’ in Formula One, triumphing in all 19 races of World Championship, thanks to 16 victories reached by Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team, winner of Constructors World Championship, and 3 victories obtained by Red Bull Racing team. In detail, 11 are the successes achieved by Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team), winner of Drivers World Championship, 5 the ones reached by Nico Rosberg (Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team) and 3 are Daniel Ricciardo’s victories (Red Bull Racing). Involved in Formula One since 1975, Brembo has reached a total of 20 World Championship Drivers’ titles and 25 World Championship Constructors’ titles divided in this way: 14 with Scuderia Ferrari, 4 with Red Bull Racing, 3 with McLaren Honda, 2 with Benetton Renault, 1 with Brawn GP and 1 with Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team. We remind that in 2014 season the Italian Company has supplied brake systems to seven teams involved in Formula One: Caterham F1 Team, Infiniti Red Bull Racing, Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team, Sahara Force India F1 Team, Sauber F1 Team, Scuderia Ferrari and Scuderia Toro Rosso.

Mercedes and McLaren: divorce German style USF1 confirms Aragon and Stubbs Issue 09.44 Senna signs for Campos New idea in Abu Dhabi Bridgestone to quit F1 at the end of 2010 Tom Wheatcroft A Silverstone deal close Graham Nearn Williams to confirm Barrichello and Hulkenberg this week Vettel in the twilight zone thebusinessofmotorsport ECONOMIC NEWS AND ANALYSIS FROM THE RACING WORLD Doubts over Toyota future Toyota is expected to announce later this week that it will be withdrawing from Formula 1 immediately. 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.

    Journal of Economic Geography, 2012, Volume 10, Number 4, Pages 599-618 The Shifting Geography of Competitive Advantage: Clusters, Networks and Firms MARK JENKINS* Cranfield School of Management Cranfield Bedfordshire MK43 0AL United Kingdom [email protected] Tel: +44 (0) 1234 754407 Fax: +44 (0) 1234 751806 STEPHEN TALLMAN University of Richmond Richmond VA 23173 USA [email protected] Tel: +1 804/ 287-6589 * Point of contact for Editors. Paper accepted for the Special Issue of the Journal of Economic Geography: “International Business and Economic Geography: The Multinational in Geographical Space” 1 The Shifting Geography of Competitive Advantage: Clusters, Networks and Firms Abstract We consider the dynamics of knowledge-based sources of advantage as they move between geographical locations and multinational and other firm level networks using the specialist context of Formula 1 motor over a fifty nine year period. We suggest that shifts in competitive advantage are underpinned by the movement of both architectural and component knowledge at both the firm and cluster level, and in particular we suggest that isolated firms can both benefit from and add to cluster level knowledge. We conclude by suggesting ways in which MNEs can adapt their approach to both location and knowledge development in order to enhance their ability to create competitive advantage. Keywords Clusters, competitive advantage, networks, knowledge flows, Formula 1. 2 1. Introduction An important development in the study of multinational firms and knowledge-based competitive advantage in recent years is the recognition that unique, rent-generating knowledge can be found in many locations around the globe. No longer are multinational firms assumed to be interested in foreign locations only as potential markets for goods and services embodying knowledge developed in the home country; rather, they are explicitly found to use these locations as sources of innovative knowledge (Tallman and Fladmoe- Lindquist, 2002).
