Today: everything on the race in Brazil. Including: big hearts and big bills - privateer teams in Formula 1. 00:21 Plus: they call for the right feel - F1 brakes! 00:25 But first we dip into the land of samba and carnival! >>00:32 People and Places: Brazil 00:01 Brazil: laid-back, playful, exciting - proven World Cup and Olympics venue, with one the world's most beautiful beaches, the Amazon rainforest and for the 45th time a grand prix. Among the drivers there's many an avowed Brazil fan: 00:21 Original sound: Nico Hülkenberg, Sahara Force India F1 Team, English „I really enjoy going there. It is a great country and São Paulo is a very special city!“ >>00:26 00:26 (schnell lesen) Was gefällt dir am besten? Original sound: Nico Hülkenberg, Sahara Force India F1 Team, English „The truth? The women!“ >>00:31 00:32 Brazil is known for a couple of particularly hot curves 00:36 No, we're thinking more of asphalt: a little way outside of São Paulo, Formula 1 has been making a regular visit since 1990 to the Autódromo José Carlos Pace, also known as 'Interlagos': The circuit between the lakes. 00:50 Original sound: Kai Ebel, TV commentator, German "The races there are usually very good, as it's a fantastic, old, traditional circuit." >>00:55 00:56 Original sound: Christian Danner, Formula 1 expert, German RTV GmbHTel.: +49 70 31 64 90-50USt.-ID-Nr. / VAT-ID: DE164706327 Otto-Lilienthal-Str. 24Fax : +49 70 31 64 90-66Amtsgericht Stuttgart HRB 243623 71034 Böblingen · GermanyeMail: [email protected] / Managing Partner: Oliver Bauss, Oliver Koblenzer Seite 3 von 36 "Sao Paolo also often has a few weather highlights, including rain. Then too you get some really spectacular action." >>01:15 01:06 Which is only fitting for a circuit belonging to the racing driver capital of Brazil. São Paulo has produced 16 Formula 1 sons, who between them have have totted up 78 grand prix wins and 5 world championships. The numbers speak for themselves and say a lot too about São Paulo. 01:26 Original sound: Felipe Massa, Williams Martini Racing, English „Sao Paolo is a nice place – it’s big, but also fantastic food, all different types if restaurants, a lot of traffic.” >>01:34 01:35 Original sound: Christian Danner, Formula 1 expert, German "If you're ever on the road in traffic in Sao Paolo, that's a real challenge!" >>01:39 01:40 No wonder - with a population of 20 million, São Paulo is Brazil's biggest city: a blurred maze of roads and tower blocks. Every day over seven million vehicles transform the city into hopeless chaos. 01:54 Crimes occur every couple of minutes, and yet Brazil thrills visitors with its charm! Brazilians are proud of that - proud of their country, their culture and also of their Formula 1 race Ends: 02:07 00:00 Now: the underdogs of Formula 1 - privateer teams! >>00:05 Privateer teams 00:02 In Formula 1 every team is striving for points and podiums - but besides that each also has its own agenda. For the works teams F1 is a playground for their engineers, whose developments can also be utilized for road cars. Also on offer as a nice side effect is a huge and precisely calculated image boost for the brand. 00:26 That too is exactly the raison d'etre for the two supposedly privateer teams backed by big business - for Haas and Red Bull motor racing is above all an effective marketing tool. RTV GmbHTel.: +49 70 31 64 90-50USt.-ID-Nr. / VAT-ID: DE164706327 Otto-Lilienthal-Str. 24Fax : +49 70 31 64 90-66Amtsgericht Stuttgart HRB 243623 71034 Böblingen · GermanyeMail: [email protected] / Managing Partner: Oliver Bauss, Oliver Koblenzer Seite 4 von 36 00:39 And then there are the others - the genuine privateer teams, whose core business is Formula 1! 00:44 Manor - Force India - Sauber - and Williams line up on the grid for one reason only: 00:53 Original sound: Claire Williams, Deputy Team Principal Williams Martini Racing, English „Our Team’s there to go racing, and we will go to any Grand Prix you tell us to, because we love going racing, so we will do what we always did and that is to roll our sleeves up at Williams and get on with it and take the fight to rest of the guys.” >>01:07 01:08 However, it's not quite that easy, as for many of the small teams every season is a fight for survival. 01:15 Original sound: Norbert Haug, Motorsport Director Mercedes-Benz 1990-2012, deutsch "The current financial problems that some teams face are well known. They, of course, repeatedly emphasize them and there is certainly a need to do something, as we've always already tried, namely to cut costs, to bring costs down." >>01:35 01:36 To enter two cars for 20 races already costs a team over 75 million euros - of which 21 million is swallowed up by the drive system alone: ongoing development not included! That way they can't be competitive. 01:55 Original sound: Christian Danner, F1 expert, German "Formula 1 is too expensive. It's not acceptable that as a middling to lower end team you have to spend 120 million euros to then sit in the likes of 17th or 18th place on the grid. Something's got to change." >>02:15 02:16 Over the last ten years there have been many plans to cut costs - but all have come to nothing. And yet the basic formula for saving money sounds simple: 02:29 Original sound: Monisha Kaltenborn, Team Principal, Sauber F1 Team, German RTV GmbHTel.: +49 70 31 64 90-50USt.-ID-Nr. / VAT-ID: DE164706327 Otto-Lilienthal-Str. 24Fax : +49 70 31 64 90-66Amtsgericht Stuttgart HRB 243623 71034 Böblingen · GermanyeMail: [email protected] / Managing Partner: Oliver Bauss, Oliver Koblenzer Seite 5 von 36 "Cost reductions can in general be achieved by making all the technical and racing rules a great deal simpler. However, that needs all the teams to be willing to make compromises." >>02:44 02:45 But that is precisely the sticking point: no team wants to forgo any competitive advantage. The best example: an automatic car jack for a whopping 112,000 euros that shaves half a second off a pit-stop. If you've got deep pockets, that amount's no problem. 03:04 Original sound: Christian Danner, F1 expert, German "The difference between what a top team and the smallest team spend is around 200 million." >>03:12 03:13 However, teams on tighter budgets can't afford such things and are therefore at a disadvantage - and the often criticized profit-sharing in F1 business operations tops off the downwards spiral: 03:26 Original sound: Michael Schmidt, editorial journalist 'Motorpresse', deutsch "Formula 1's basic problem is definitely the distribution of money. It is extremely unfair, because the gap between the rich and the poor is much too big. American sports do things very differently. They distribute the same from top to bottom, so everyone has an equal chance." >>03:40 03:41 It may well be that Bernie Ecclestone will soon adopt a new approach with new owners Liberty Media - but before things get better, they're first going to get even worse. To blame for that are the new rules. 03:55 Original sound: Monisha Kaltenborn, Team Principal, Sauber F1 Team, German "Sadly, to date it's repeatedly been the case that changes have led to more being spent." >>04:00 04:01 The 2017 rule amendment is no cost-cutting plan. The modification is a huge financial burden on the privateers especially. But: necessity is the mother of invention and new rules also offer an opportunity - after all, unorthodox approaches in Formula 1 are often the key to success!
