Ferrari works on F1 engine with Austrian company – report

Ferrari is pushing ahead with improving its turbo V6 engine and car after a faltering start to the new era in F1.
Of the sport’s three engine makers in 2014, the fabled Maranello marque was the only one not to win a single grand prix.
Ferrari, the works Renault team Red Bull and now even McLaren-Honda have admitted they want an end to the current development ‘freeze’ that could see Mercedes’ dominance continue for years.
“F1 must be the ultimate expression of automotive technology,” said new Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne recently, according to Italy’s Omnicorse.
“So I hope that we are able to realise more powerful engines on the track but without jumping into the void of further driving up costs,” he added.
The publication said Ferrari has now started collaborating with the engine development giant AVL, even though the Austrian company has been more closely aligned with Red Bull.
But Omnicorse said a team of AVL engineers is already hard at work at Maranello.
La Gazzetta dello Sport said the latest developments follow the radical shakeup at Ferrari, after Marchionne reportedly analysed the 2015 project and concluded as late as October that it was too similar to the failed 2014 car.(Totalna novinarska budalaština, ko je on da "analizira" aerodinamiku)
The report said the 2015 car is therefore unlikely to feature the familiar ‘vacuum cleaner’ nose of this year and will instead more closely resemble the front of the Red Bull.
Ferrari’s new lead driver Sebastian Vettel, however, struggled notably alongside Daniel Ricciardo with the 2014 Red Bull.
And his 2015 teammate Kimi Raikkonen was a conspicuous under-performer with Ferrari’s last car.
“Kimi has an incredible feel for the front of the car,” his former Lotus teammate Romain Grosjean is quoted by Speed Week, “but it was not possible (for him) with the 2014 tyres.”

Totalna novinarska budalaština, ko je on da "analizira" aerodinamiku

 

Slusaj, nije nemoguce, upravo sam se ovakvih stvari pribojavao kada su objavili da su zaposlili marketinskog zombija. Seti se Honde i Nika Fraja, onomad je na njegovo insistiranje menjan dizajn Hondinih sajdpodova da vise lice na Meklarenove iako mu je celo aerodinamicko odeljenje govorilo da to ne moze da funkcionise u sklopu celog bolida. No ON je sev i njegova je zadnja, i ako ON kaze da ce sajdpodi biti kao Meklarenovi jer je Meklaren bio brzi od njih ima da budu bas takvi. Pa onda dobijes fabricku ekipu Honde koja bude sporija od Super Agurija koji vozi proslogodisnje bolide.

 

Uvek se setim Krastija u ovakvim prilikama, kad je tek stigao u Beneton i trazio od tima da "stave vise varnica" na bolid jer Ferari je brzi od njih i vise varnici. No on je barem brzo ukapirao da se ne razume u F1 i pustio svoje ljude da rade pa se bavio organizacijom i koordinacijom posla za cega je majstor. Ostaje da se vidi hoce li i ovaj Ferarijev Marlboro Men putem Krastija pa pustiti ljude da rade ili ce im se poput Fraja mesati u posao.

Fry mi nikada nije bio simpatičan, večito mi se činilo kako se laktao i trpao gde mu nije mesto.

 

Ovo sa Marchionneom bi bilo nešto kao da Ghosn stopira razvoj Renaultovog motora ili da je Zetsche odlučivao o dizajnu Mercedesovih bolida. Ne drži mi priča vodu..suviše je šarlatanski.
