  • Armiku I Klimës Në Modë Nga Gjergj Nika Qershor 2020
    Armiku i klimës në modë Nga Gjergj Nika Qershor 2020 Nuk e di sa është i vërtetë lajmi i mediave online, që Australia do të vrasë 10.000 deve me arsyen se qenkan një rrezik për mjedisin, sepse pijnë shumë ujë. Po e marrim si të vërtetë. Përpara se të vrasin këto kafshë të gjora nën pretekstin për të zgjidhur problemet klimatike, le të ndalojnë ose të pakësojnë garat motorrike si Formula 1, të cilat në një garë të një dite të vetme, emetojnë më shumë gaz karbonik sesa emetojnë devetë gjatë gjithë vitit. Le të analizojmë problemet e shumta për mjedisin dhe klimën që sjellin garat motorrike, duke marrë si shembull Formula 1, që është më ndotësi nga garat motorrike dhe të shohim se sa e dëmton natyrën. Një nga problemet e shumta për mjedisin dhe klimën, që vjen si pasojë e garave të Formula 1 është çlirimi i dioksidit të karbonit nga djegia e karburantit për një garë, e cila nuk sjell asnjë të mirë materiale për njerëzit. Kjo djegie karburanti nuk është e domosdoshme si ajo e traktorit, që punon tokën për ta mbjellur, apo e autobusit, që transporton pasagjerë nevojtarë nga një vend në një tjetër. Sipas Uikipedias një makinë e zakonshme e garës Formula 1 djeg 75 litra karburant për 100 km të përshkuara. Pra 0.75 litra karburant të djegur, lëshojnë rreth 1737 gram dioksid karboni për një kilometër, sasi kjo që është pothuajse nëntë herë më shumë se sasia e dioksidit të karbonit që lëshojnë makinat normale. 1 Dhe gjatë një sezoni garash, ku përdoren afërsisht 100,000 litra karburant, i takon të prodhohet 231 ton dioksid karboni për çdo makinë.

    8 July 2021 – Viry-Châtillon Alpine F1 Team launches “Prost in the Paddock”, the first podcast series dedicated to Alain Prost Alpine F1 Team is pleased to announce the launch of its brand-new "Prost in the Paddock" podcast series on 14 July, Bastille Day, the French national holiday. In this audio series, Alain Prost, the only French Formula 1 World Champion and national hero, speaks candidly and with sincerity about his career and his role in the world of F1, the evolution of the sport's top-tier category, F1’s new rules and regulations, and offers his opinions about the new generation of drivers as never heard before. Four episodes with four themes Alpine F1 Team speaks with the celebrated four-time world champion to provide listeners with rare and never-been-heard-before anecdotes. Four episodes in English have been produced in which he shares his thoughts about career choices, rivalries, performance, a look at the evolution of the sport and the human side. The Alpine team non-executive Director does not shy away from any subject: "I wanted to become a footballer. I wasn't at all interested in motorsport. But my brother was. I remember my first kart race. We went to Cannes on his initiative, and immediately I was hooked. Whether it was my first race in Formula 1 or even my first victory at Dijon, the feeling was the same as when I started karting. In a way, it was a new beginning. Even when I became World Champion in 1985, I thought, ok, I did it, but after, I could only think of one thing, to do it again regardless of how good my car was or my position on the grid.

  • Tests Paul Ricard, Day 1: Hadjar and Saucy the Fastest
    Tests Paul Ricard, day 1: Hadjar and Saucy the fastest The two drivers have ended the day with exactly the same best lap time Le Castellet, 30/03/2021 – The 16 years old French (and Rookie) driver of R-ace GP, Isack Hadjar, and the 21 years old Swiss Grégoire Saucy racing with ART Grand Prix have set exactly the same best lap time of day 1 at the F1 Circuit Paul Ricard in Le Castellet, 1:57.917. Both of the drivers have been extremely competitive in all test days also in Imola and Barcelona, and in the very last part of today’s afternoon session, on a warm track under a sunny sky, when most drivers have decided to go for a new set of tires in something that was really similar to a qualifying session, Saucy and Hadjar have once more confirmed their skills and good feeling with the car. A particular underline must be made for the French driver both for his young age and the fact that he is a Rookie, even though well trained by 3 appointments where he has competed in the F3 Asian Championship. "I feel really confident and happy with the car, and I think much of the credit for the good results is to be shared with my team, with whom a really work excellently", has commented Hadjar at the end of the afternoon session. A great best lap also by the British Alex Quinn (Arden Motorsport), only 0.052 from the fastest two, while the Argentinian Franco Colapinto (MP Motorsport) ended 0.109 from the lead.

  • History of F1 – 1990S
    History of F1 – 1990s Welcome to Sidepodcast’s History of F1. So far, the development of the Formula 1 World Championships has been pretty much about the cars, with a few squabbles between drivers along the way. The 1990s saw some real star talent emerging, with personalities both loveable and not so much. The 1990s were a year of change, innovation, tragedy and triumph. Team Williams introduced the first car, designed by Patrick Head, to have a semi‐automatic gearbox and traction control, but reliability was still a major problem. Eventually, Williams managed to conquer their mechanical troubles, and added more computer‐control to the car, leading to success in the next couple of years. Williams took the championship in '92 and '93, with Nigel Mansell and then Alain Prost, who had just returned from a season off. Michael Schumacher joined the Formula 1 circuit in 1991, qualifying 7th on his debut for Team Jordan, although he didn’t get past the first lap. Just one race later, he defected to Benetton. With the major players of previous seasons now retired, Schumacher was the main rival for Ayrton Senna, but it was not going to be easy. The points system changed in 1990 so that all Formula 1 races were included in the championship and a win would gain you 10 points rather than 9 points. The FIA also declared that the driver aids, such as traction control, were having a negative impact on the impression of F1. Where was the driver skill? So, the aids were banned, despite Formula 1 getting more and more exciting.

  • Mclaren-Honda Prepares for 2015: Laying the Foundations for Future Domination
    McLaren-Honda prepares for 2015: laying the foundations for future domination McLaren-Honda is delighted to announce its new driver line-up for 2015: Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button. Kevin Magnussen will remain an important part of the team, as test and reserve driver. All three men will play crucial roles in re-establishing the ascendancy of one of global sport’s most iconic unions, for McLaren and Honda have already formed one of the most dominant partnerships in motorsport history: Honda broke new ground in the 1980s by creating a turbocharged engine that was unparalleled in both its output and its efficiency, and, between 1988 and 1992, McLaren-Honda won eight world championships and 44 Grand Prix, and took 53 pole positions and set 30 fastest laps, all in just 80 Grand Prix. In 1988, the partnership created arguably the single most successful Formula 1 car of all time: the all-conquering McLaren-Honda MP4/4, which was driven to victory by Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost in an amazing 15 of the season’s 16 Grand Prix. The lure presented by those same goals has once again brought the legendary Japanese corporation back to the pinnacle of global motor racing; and, again, that company, Honda, is developing its revolutionary new turbocharged engine at its all-new purpose-built state-of-the-art motorsport facility in Sakura, Japan. It is against that backdrop that McLaren and Honda are now committing to rebuilding afresh the strongest possible partnership in Formula 1. The aforementioned Ayrton Senna, in the opinion of many the greatest driver in the history of our sport, won 30 of the 44 Grand Prix that McLaren and Honda annexed together between 1988 and 1992.
