Villeneuve offended by Verstappn's performance

formula 1

Jacques Villeneuve said that the first appearance of 17-year-old Max Verstappn in the formula will be taken as an insult, as all racers, including him, unlike the Dutchman, had to prove themselves much more and prove themselves in many lower categories. "Are they aware at Red Bull that they are going to seat a child in a Formula One car?" wondered the 1997 season champion. "I have no doubt he's fast, but he has no experience. I got into Formula One myself when I was 25 after winning Indy Car. Before you play with the lives of others, you have to learn racing and the role of Formula One is not learning, ”said the universally critical Canadian, who believes the newly adopted age limit of 18 is still too low. "The limit should be at 21. You should get into Formula One as a winner with a lot of experience. F1 is not a place where

Lauda angry at Red Bull

formula 1

Austrian energy drink maker Red Bull has angered Niki Laudo, after whom one of the turns at the scene of this year’s race for the Austrian Grand Prix was named. The racetrack, once known as the A1-Ring, has been completely refurbished, and next month, for the first time since 2003, a Formula One caravan will return. Before the racetrack was bought by Red Bull, which also owns two Formula One teams, one of the turns was called Niki Lauda Kurve (Niki Lauda Turn), in honor of the Austrian racer and three-time world champion. Now this same bend is called Pirelli. Lauda, however, isn’t the only Austrian racer left without “his” turn, as Gerhard Berger’s Bend has now been renamed Wurth Bend. “I’m very disappointed,” Lauda said. “I guess they are

Hamilton is the fastest racer of the morning

formula 1

Mercedes racer Lewis Hamilton has recorded the fastest time of the morning part of the first day of testing taking place in Barcelona this week. The winner of the race in Spain finished the three-hour morning training as the fastest with a time of 1: 44.291 on a wet track, and drove 27 laps. The teams were greeted by rain at the Katalunya racetrack in the morning, which delayed the start of testing by one hour, and what was happening on the track was also limited due to low temperatures, which hovered around 16 degrees Celsius. The afternoon portion of today’s testing will begin an hour earlier, and teams are hoping conditions will improve. The second fastest time belonged to Williams racer Felipe Massa, and Red Bull reserve racer Sebastien Buemi was third. The fourth time was set by McLarn’s Jenson Butt

Red Bull can compete with Mercedes

formula 1

Red Bull boss Christian Horner is confident they can still face the hitherto dominant Mercedes team this year. They are hoping for improvements to the car, which will be used for the first time in the race in Spain, in two weeks. The Mercedes racers won all of the first four races of this season, of which the German team celebrated a double victory in as many as three events. The Red Bull team, which is aiming for the fifth consecutive title of champion among constructors, is not doing well so far, as they have only managed to finish the race among the top three so far. Although they are in second place in the overall standings, they are 97 points behind the leading Mercedes. "We're going to do our best. I'm sure we can compete with them, but we shouldn't lag even further," Horner said. “In China, we are on the plane

With the new fuel three tenths closer

formula 1

At the next race in Barcelona, Red Bull, they are expecting at least three tenths less lag behind the dominant car of the Mercedes team, as their technological partner Total will prepare a new fuel. Red Bulls succumbed to Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, an adviser to the Austrian team, at the Chinese GP, and Helmut Marko attributes the progress of the Maranello team to a new fuel mix prepared by Shell. "We also expect a new fuel in the near future, which will enable even more efficient combustion," said Marko, while there were speculations in the media that the fuel prepared by Total was to blame for the failure of the fuel flow sensors. "Ferrari has progressed in China. They have new fuel, and we will have it soon. Maybe already at the next race in Spain," Marko revealed.

formula 1

The Red Bull team will find out the outcome of the appeal against the disqualification of Daniel Ricciard from the Australian Grand Prix tomorrow.

Key people from the Mercedes, Lotus, McLaren, Force Indie and Williams teams were also present at the hearing.

Will Red Bull be ruled out again?

formula 1

Red Bull Racing boss Christian Horner fears his team will suffer the same fate in Malaysia as in Australia after the fuel flow sensor on Friday again failed to function properly. Daniel Ricciardo was disqualified in Australia because his car was said to consume more than the allowed 100kg of fuel per hour during the race. Red Bull have confirmed that a problem has also arisen on Ricciard’s race car in Malaysia. "During Friday morning's training, the sensor stopped working, so we had to replace it before the afternoon training. I haven't reviewed the data recorded by him," Horner said. "I hope it records such a flow of fuel as the injectors on the engine and that it will stay that way all weekend. If we don't find ourselves in the same awkward situation

Red Bull threatened to exit Formula 1

formula 1

Dietrich Mateschitz, owner of the Red Bull energy drink brand and owner of the Red Bull Racing and Toro Rosso teams, was overwhelmed after the disqualification of Daniel Ricciard from the Australian Grand Prix. The Austrian warned that Red Bull is not infinitely attached to this sport, so he can leave it whenever he wants. “The fact is that the umbrella organization’s sensor has been giving us erroneous measurements ever since the start of winter testing,” Mateschitz explained. "We can prove that we were within the allowable range with the fuel flow." The Austrian explained that Red Bull could leave Formula One not only if the performance no longer made economic sense, but also if the sport turned its back on certain values and if politics prevailed in it. “There’s a limit to how much we’re willing to suffer all of this,” Mateschitz warned,
