Hamilton is annoyed by Verstappen's salary

Max Verstappen annoys Lewis Hamilton with two things and his payroll is one of them, according to Red Bull Racing team advisor Helmut Marko. Hamilton's contract with Mercedes expires at the end of this season, and according to the latest rumors, a tempting offer from Maranello is now influencing any negotiations. Ferrari are said to be willing to offer the Briton 44 million a season if he decides to join their team, and that could be the key if Helmut Marko is right. Verstappen earns 55 million for each season he drives, 20 million more than Hamilton gets from Mercedes, which failed to provide the seven-time world champion with a winning car this year. According to Helmut Mark, Hamilton would prefer to move to Red Bull, but there for him according to Christian Horner

Ferrari

Ferrari experienced its worst season since 1980 in the year of the coronavirus, the Maranello team had to settle for three, mostly lucky podiums and sixth place in the team championship. Team boss Mattia Binotto as well as both racers Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel talked about the tough championship. There are several reasons for the decline in form and some want the return of former Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo, who was at the helm of Ferrari from 1991 to 2014, until he was replaced by the late Sergio Marchionne. Asked by Italian radio station RAI whether a return was even possible, the Italian recently waved: "I shouldn't have been asked that question, nor have I been asked." Luca di Montezemolo believes that he knows where Ferrari's problems are and that he has a solution for them. "To me

Ferrari

This may seem like a modest ambition, but Mattia Binotto, head of the Ferrari team, said this year’s sixth-place finish in the constructors ’championship is the Maranello team’s worst result in 40 years. "The minimum goal is third place," he said when asked about the 2021 season. "That shouldn't be impossible. A team that was four times second in the hybrid era of Formula 1 and once third, which seriously challenged Mercedes for two years, would should achieve. " However, Binotto acknowledged that with the limited rules before the new Formula 1 period in 2022, the teams that were good this year will be good in 2021 as well. engine. I expect more from them.

Ferrari, Haas

Ferrari has reacted to the arrival of the budget ceiling and has already started sending important co-workers elsewhere, for example to a partner team. Thus, at the beginning of the month, it was announced that Simone Resta, head of the chassis department, will be sent to the Haas team, where he is expected to occupy a position that is yet to be defined. According to the Italian team, Resti is expected to be followed by further Ferrari colleagues in The Hague. A separate center is to be set up near Ferrari's Maranello plant for this purpose, in which the affected Ferrari employees will in the future work exclusively for Haas. "These people will work in a building in Maranello, completely separate from Ferrari. They will not have access to the Ferrari premises. It will be separate and they will stay there," explained Mattia Binotto, Ferrari's head of team. Ferrari will be due to the arrival of zg

LECLERC in honor of VETTLA's reputation with a new helmet design

Ferrari

For Ferrari, one of the most difficult years in their history is coming to an end in Abu Dhabi. As bad a performance as this year’s Formula 1 season, the Scuderia didn’t show even in the first year of the 2014 hybrid period. In addition, Sebastian Vettel is also saying goodbye, driving his 118th and final race for the Maranello team in the desert. His teammate Charles Leclerc took the opportunity to pay tribute to his outgoing teammate. Just Leclerc, many may comment. Last but not least, his arrival at Ferrari marked the beginning of the end of Vettl’s career at Maranello. But there is no talk in Abu Dhabi of their delicate episodes on the track. Finally, the behavior of the Monaco at the Bahrain Grand Prix race caused anger. But none of that, the conversation calmed everyone down. Charles Leclerc is on yesterday

Ferrari

Ahead of the Formula 1 final of the 2020 season in Abu Dhabi, Ferrari CEO Louis Camilleri quite surprisingly announced his resignation. Chief Binotta is said to have resigned for personal reasons, according to a public statement. His resignation is not only surprising for outside observers, but also for Ferrari’s flagship floor. The successor is not yet known, but the work of Camilleri is expected to be taken over by CEO John Elkann. Simultaneously with Ferrari, the tobacco concern Philip Morris also announced last night that Camilleri is resigning from the administration.

What's new at this year's Ferrari race car?

formula 1

The project name of this year's Maranello car sounds like the name 667, which will be quite different from its predecessor. This is due to a completely new philosophy, fully implemented by technical director James Allison in this car. Last year's Ferrari was designed by Nicolas Tombazis and Pat Fry and still relied heavily on the 2014 philosophy, which was the result of Fernando Alonso's preferences. The Spaniard’s style is significantly different from the racing style of Sebastian Vettl and Kimi Raikkonen, which also explains Finch’s problems compared to Alonso’s. "Alonso's" car simply did not allow settings that would lie to Raikkonen, and last year's SF15-T underwent some emergency changes at the last minute, but due to the late staff rosada, some points of the car were n

Vettel and Raikkonen support Rossi

MotoGP News

Four-time Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel has added his whistleblower to the dispute between Valentino Rossi and Marco Marquez. The German said that Rossi did the right thing when he pushed Marquez to the edge of the track, where he apparently kicked the Spaniard and thus caused the opponent to fall. The commissioners punished Rossi, which means that he will be in the last starting position in the last race of the season in Valencia, where the title of champion will be decided. The Ferrari racer believes this year’s title for Rossi is far from lost. “I think he still has a chance to become a champion and that he’s a real fighter,” the former Red Bull racer said. "It's in his nature, even though after the race it felt like he gave up. He will fight and give his best and I think he did the right thing in Malaysia. I know Jorge very well

Ferrari will not yet decide on Raikkonen's future

formula 1

Ferrari boss Maurizio Arrivabene says it is too early to decide whether Kimi Raikkonen will stay on the Maranello team in the 2016 season. Finch's future is the subject of speculation this year. Arrivabene believes he will have to recommend Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne later in the season for Raikkonen, but at the same time he believes it would be demotivating if they decided to extend the contract now, especially in the event of a non-renewal. "A lot of things will have to be decided, but for now it's too early to say or decide anything, because we're not even halfway through the season. Imagine being in my role when it would be necessary to step up to Raikkonen and tell him he's inside. or that he dropped out, ”Arrivabene said. "We have internal hands, but I will not talk about them. I can introduce St.

Arrivabene: We need to stay on real ground

formula 1

Ferrari must remain a realistic true Ferrari boss after the Malaysian victory. Namely, in Melzia, Mercedes did not have a fast enough race car, not long enough tire life to be able to compete with the cavalry from Maranello, where Vettel was simply invincible. What’s more, even Kimi would probably have been invincible from Mercedes ’side if his tire hadn’t burst in the first corner, but he still came to an enviable fourth from last place in the end. So the Italians took a big step forward and not only caught Mercedes but also overtook it, but they definitely have to stay realistic, so Arrivabene: "At the beginning of the season I said we want to win two wins this year, now after two races we have one. if victory comes too soon it can be an advantage or even a disadvantage.We have to stay n
