Maldonado ce poludjet ako ih krene

I neka poludi. Južnoamerička verzija Zdravka Mamića.
P.S.
pogledajte eurosportovu cenzuru:
Also, I hope M#$%$a and Williams can kick some #$%$ this year. Red Bull will not be as competitive this year, their time has p#$%$ed and the team dropped the ball with this year's car. I am looking forward to a great Season and to see a NEW CHAMPION!
Massa,passed... lol

haha, koji amateri

Premali broj na bočnim stranicama bolida. Kada gledam bočnu stranu bolida, ne vidim, o kojem se vozaču radi. Premalen broj. Nitgi na prednjem dijelu bolida, ne razaznaje se, koji je je broj u pitanju!?
Nisu ni drugi puno bolji. Ferrari i Mercedes, OK, što se tiče toga.

[Caldor]

Za sad izgleda da sam bio u pravu što se tiče njih. Ali možda se još skrivaju.

[dmarijon]

Možda će se još skrivati do 11. mj. 2014.

Jel neko skužio tokom utrke da Bottas nije cjelo vrjeme koristio DRS kad je bio u prilici?

Jel neko skužio tokom utrke da Bottas nije cjelo vrjeme koristio DRS kad je bio u prilici?

imali su neki problem sa DRS-om, znam da su mu tijekom utrke javili da pazi na to a kakav je točno problem ne znam

[F1NAC]

Williams sells hybrid power subdivision

Williams Grand Prix Holdings has announced the sale of Williams Hybrid Power Limited from Williams' subsidiary, Williams Grand Prix Engineering Limited, to GKN Land Systems Limited in a multi-million pound transaction. This will see Williams Hybrid Power rebranded as GKN Hybrid Power.

GKN has agreed to purchase the whole of the issued share capital of Williams Hybrid Power Limited from Williams Grand Prix Engineering Limited. Under the terms of the transaction, Williams Grand Prix Engineering Limited will also receive additional consideration based on future sales and licences of the flywheel energy storage technology transferred with Williams Hybrid Power to GKN. Global financial advisory firm Lazard acted as advisor to Williams Grand Prix Holdings PLC in relation to the transaction.

Williams Hybrid Power has been majority owned by Williams Grand Prix Engineering Limited since 2010, and is a clean technology SME developing electric flywheel energy storage technology. The company was initially engaged in developing this technology for Williams' 2009 Formula One car, but has since focused its attention on developing systems for the mass transit and automotive sectors. Successes to date include supplying the flywheel energy storage system for the Le Mans winning Audi R18 e-tron quattro, a partnership with Go-Ahead Group to develop a system for urban buses, and a partnership with Alstom to develop flywheel technology for tramway applications. The technology offers fuel savings and emissions reductions of up to 30% by harvesting the energy that is normally lost as heat when braking and turning it into additional power.

Speaking about the agreement with GKN Mike O'Driscoll, Group CEO of Williams, said; "The Williams Hybrid Power business has been developed very successfully over the last few years, and is now at the point of broader market commercialisation. GKN have the resources and expertise to fully realise the enormous potential of the motorsport proven flywheel technology, primarily within a variety of public transport applications.

"Williams Advanced Engineering continues to focus on delivering energy efficient solutions through incubating and developing new technologies that primarily originate within our Formula One operations, to a broad range of industry sectors including automotive, aerospace, and energy."

Speaking about the acquisition of Williams Hybrid Power, Philip Swash, Chief Executive of GKN Land Systems said: "This acquisition is a great opportunity for GKN to take a unique technology to global markets, helping solve the emissions and efficiency challenges faced by mass transit companies around the world. It also provides GKN with a unique set of engineering skills that we believe will help bring new innovation and performance to our wider product portfolio."

The consideration payable for the acquisition comprises cash consideration of £8.0m payable at closing, together with potential uncapped additional consideration payable based upon future sales of WHP products in the following 10 years. That additional consideration will be calculated at 3.5% of sales in each of the first five years, declining on a stepped basis to 1.5% by the end of the 10 year period, and shall only be payable to the extent that it cumulatively exceeds £4.0m. The acquisition will be funded from GKN’s existing resources.

For the financial year ended 31 December 2013, WHP made a loss after taxation of £1.0 million and had gross assets of £3.2 million.

u Bahrainu je zabranjeno reklamiranje alkohola, pa na mjestima gdje inače piše "Martini" ovaj vikend stoji "Racing"

[Kenny]

Kako onda FI nije maknila ni jednom, pa ni sada Royal Challenge?

[Cuky]

sad si me zbunio...znam da je FI znala onaj Whyte & Mackay natpis malo izmijeniti (nešto kao što je Jordan znao Benson&Hedges zamijeniti sa Buzzin Hornets), da je McLaren uklanjao Johnny Walker za Bahrain

[F1NAC]

Stanford to head Williams Heritage division

Williams have announced that Dickie Stanford has been appointed General Manager for Williams Heritage, a new division of Williams that oversees the maintenance and public demonstration of the team's historic Formula One cars. Stanford was previously Race Team Manager.

Dickie began his long career with Williams in 1985 as a mechanic on Nigel Mansell's FW10 and worked his way up to Chief Mechanic, before becoming Team Manager in 1995. He remained in that job for 10 years, before stepping back to spend more time with his family. In 2010 he returned to take up the reins once again as Race and Test Team Manager and helped guide the team through a difficult period. After seeing the team through a successful winter ahead of the 2014 season, Dickie has now decided to retire from life on the road for a factory based position.

As General Manager of Williams Heritage, Dickie will report to Jonathan Williams and have responsibility for the team of Williams mechanics that maintain the team's historic racing cars at the Williams Grand Prix Collection in Oxfordshire, the largest private collection of Formula One cars in the world. He will also help manage the regular series of events and promotional activities that the cars take part in each year such as the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Speaking about Dickie's new role Sir Frank Williams, Founder and Team Principal, said; "A team of our longevity has many historic assets that need to be cherished and preserved for future generations to enjoy. Dickie combines strong mechanical knowledge of our cars from his time as a mechanic, with first class operational and logistical skills honed as Race Team Manager. He is therefore perfectly placed to take on the day-to-day operational running of our historic car programme and provide support to Jonathan in ensuring that Williams' Heritage programme goes from strength to strength. I would personally like to add my thanks to him for his services to the team during his time as Race Team Manager."

Dickie Stanford: "I have a lot of passion for the company and its heritage and the opportunity to take charge of our historic car programme is too good to turn down. With the formation of Williams Heritage as a distinct division within Williams, we will be well placed to ensure that our legendary cars continue to be well looked after and can be showcased to Formula One fans for many years to come."

novi detalji oko kokpita, kao i novi retrovizori



EDIT: Također u Španjolskoj su imali i nove bočne stranice (desna slika) i ono što tek sad vidim i što je pohvalno: veći brojevi

[wolfman]

zaslužili su nagradu za strategiste godine

[Dani]

Ili pehiste. Šteta , Massa je bio jako dobar ovdje i mislim da je trebao biti na postolju.

[F1NAC]

Massa se sjebo nakon sto je Vettel isao onako malo sire u hairpinu i kad mu je Massa bio odmah na guzici i lik nije na prvoj ravnici otvorio DRS, da je bi ga preteka lako, ovako nakon sikane na drugoj ravnici tesko, RB je imao epic trakciju naspram njih

[dmarijon]

Massa kao da nije imao ideju što napraviti. Šteta. Dok je sam u čistom zraku, ima brzinu. Cijelo vrijeme mi je u glavi bilo: da je Alonso npr. sjedio u tom williamsu, igrao bi se s njima kao mačka s mišem.
