degeaba au deslusit michelinurile daca au nevoie de bani si Bridgestone le ofera destui cat sa sara din barca francezilor.

[MikeTekRacing]

de prin 1997 au tot rezultate mediocre.
ei au intrat cu michelin sperand sa rupa gura targului, intre timp s-au prins si altii si a cam disparut smecheria...
repet ce am zis mai devreme, problema mare a lui frank va fi lipsa banilor. fara un constructor in spate e imposibil sa faci performanta.

nu e deloc dubios, era chiar o chestie asteptata.

Michelin will refund all tickets for last week's United States Grand Prix, the French tyre manufacturer announced late on Tuesday. Michelin will also buy 20,000 tickets for next year's US Grand Prix to give to disappointed fans who sat through this year's debacle.


"Michelin has decided to contribute to the costs incurred by the spectators present at the circuit on Sunday June 19th 2005 by offering to refund their tickets," a statement explained. "This is an important decision, since Michelin is not at all legally bound to do this. Michelin deeply regrets that the public was deprived of an exciting race and therefore wishes to be the first, among the different groups involved in the Indianapolis race, to make a strong gesture towards the spectators."

Just hours before its F1 teams come face-to-face with the FIA in Paris Michelin went on the offensive against the sport's governing body saying, "We would also like to take this opportunity to underline the fact that it is unacceptable that our partner teams have been accused by the FIA of having boycotted the Indianapolis Grand Prix. The reality is that together, Michelin and its partners have done everything possible to assure that the race could take place in total safety."

"We are extremely disappointed that the proposals made with all our teams were not accepted," the statement continued. "These proposals, including a chicane, were technically viable and totally met all safety requirements. On Sunday morning, June 19, the sporting authority had all the means necessary to preserve the interest of the race. And yet, the sporting authority rejected the proposed solutions. Why? In our view this is totally incomprehensible and reflects a lack of respect for the spectators. It is the spirit of respect for the spectators that brought us, with our partners, to propose solutions to allow the race to take place in total safety. It is this same spirit that leads us today to make this gesture."

Michelin's move is likely to help diffuse what was expected to be a very heated meeting in Paris on Wednesday.

ce am ingrosat eu, comparati cu declaratia lui Pierre Dupasquier:

Q: There was a solution - the chicane. But it didn't happen.

Dupasquier: "We did not talk about the chicane. We said that we had found out that with a lower speed, significantly lower speed, climbing on the oval, we would be totally out of trouble. The chicane could have been a solution but there were others as well. We have no right and we are not in the position to put any judgement to what has been done. We didn't ask for any rule change. We know technically if we avoid increasing speed on the banking we would be out of the problem, that is the only thing we said."

coincidenta, michelin apar AZI, la o zi inainte de audieri si propun sa returneze banii. Apoi tot azi (!!!) isi aduc aminte ca si ei au propus o sicana (desi Dupasquierre nu stia asta mai devreme !) si "These proposals, including a chicane, were technically viable and totally met all safety requirements. "
Cat de infect poate fi acest mediu in care poti minti cu nerusinare intr-o declaratie de presa cand SE STIE ca sicana ca si orice alta modificare trebuie sa treaca de niste proceduri DURE de aprobare a sigurantei si nu se face peste noapte?

[MikeTekRacing]

FIA a facut o propunere de pace, nu le-a facut pe plac rebelilor.
acestia se asteptau la sanctiuni dure si erau pregatiti sa ia masuri drastice. acum fac recurs ca sa.....? agite iar lucrurile?

mosley a precizat ca nu vor fi sanctiuni de puncte, nici bar nu vor avea de suferit ca sunt recidivisti. tot nu e bine?

What follows is statement from the FIA in which they express their views on technology in Formula One in 2008 and beyond. While the FIA wish to limit driver aides, they are not against proposals such as energy recovery systems first lookes at in the late 1990s.

"The FIA proposals for 2008 which were sent to you on 4 July include significant restrictions on technology with a view to reducing costs. However, the recent FIA/AMD survey has demonstrated that the public regard technology as an important element of Formula One, although they do not like its use for driver aids. The responses to our proposals from major manufacturers involved in Formula One also favour retaining sophisticated technology.

During the consultation period which is now underway, we should like all stakeholders to consider carefully the technology/cost issue and let us have their views. Which technologies to allow and even encourage is a decision of fundamental importance, as is the question of cost.

The FIA�s preliminary view is that technology which helps the driver to control the car (eg traction control, ESP-type systems, launch control, etc, etc) have no place in Formula One, which should remain a supreme test of driver skill. This view is supported by the public in the FIA/AMD survey. On the other hand, technologies which improve car performance by, for example, saving energy or reducing mechanical losses should be encouraged. These do not devalue a racing driver�s skills and their development can benefit the ordinary motorist.

The example of an energy recovery, storage and release, or �hybrid�, system is a good one. Using known technology it would be possible to recover and store about 300 kilojoules of energy when braking for a corner and release it to give about 60 bhp for 5 seconds on the next straight, all from a system weighing no more than 50 kg. If we were to regulate (limit) such systems by weight, the research would aim for the maximum energy (power) for the minimum weight. We would soon see more power for longer from lighter systems. Such systems will eventually be on all road cars - it is just a question of how many kilojoules per kilo of weight plus system cost compared to fuel cost. Deployment in Formula One would greatly accelerate the rate of development of such devices as well as promoting public acceptance and consumer demand.

In the Research and Development departments of the major manufacturers there are certainly many other new and interesting technologies under development which could usefully be deployed in Formula One. It is also possible that major manufacturers not currently in Formula One might wish to come into the World Championship with their new technologies without necessarily becoming engine suppliers. This would benefit the independent teams.

We believe there is a strong case for putting the emphasis on useful technology as a means of gaining performance in Formula One. At present, much of the technology is sterile. For example seeking the best lift/drag ratio within the confines of very restrictive bodywork regulations whose only purpose is to limit cornering speeds is arguably not the best use of talented aerodynamicists working in very expensive and sophisticated facilities.

On the subject of aerodynamics, we believe there may be a case for placing a limit on the amount of downforce a car can generate (ie a maximum of x newtons) rather than constantly regulating to restrict the aerodynamics in the hope of containing performance. Research would then be directed to reducing drag, possibly useful to the car industry. Techniques for generating massive amounts of downforce from the bodywork of a single-seater racing car have limited practical application.

Also, if we have a fixed but relatively low maximum permitted downforce, why would we need to continue to ban moveable aerodynamic devices? Could we not allow them at least under braking? Or perhaps forward of the front wheel centre line to help aerodynamic balance when following another car closely? We would have to have an accurate and reliable means of measurement, but I am told this will be much easier with a single tyre supplier. Moveable devices might also be useful for safety.

If there is some support for such ideas, we should like to discuss possible action for 2008 as a matter of urgency. In the longer term we would propose setting up a small committee from the major manufacturers and perhaps some academics to advise the FIA on possible car and aerospace technologies for use in Formula One. We could then start to think about regulations five or even ten years ahead of their introduction.

Finally, we must never lose sight of the need to keep at least 20, preferably 24, cars on the grid. This means that permitted technologies must either be relatively inexpensive to develop or of a kind which bring paying technology partners into Formula One. We should be glad to discuss these and related questions with any of the teams and other stakeholders, either individually or collectively."

toata lumea le foloseste, a fost un lucru idiot ca FIA sa isi inchipuie ca le pot interzice.
nu e in natura lucrurilor sa fie asa.

As we revealed yesterday, Williams and Toyota have switched from the Michelin rubber to their Japanese rivals at Bridgestone for the 2006 season and Michelin will be holding a press conference at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in a few hours time to announce their partner teams for the upcoming championship season.

 

Toyota�s John Howett has confirmed ahead of time that the Cologne based squad definitely wont be on the list and that they are anticipating a good relationship with Ferrari and Bridgestone in 2006.

 

"It was a difficult decision to switch as Michelin is a fantastic and very competitive partner,� he said in Spa. �Ferrari is a mythical team and we are very proud to work with them in the future. We want to win but Ferrari is strong and extremely competitive. It will be hard"

 

Eduardo Michelin has arrived in the paddock today and the rest will become clear very soon.
