HILO OFICIAL Pretemporada F1 2015

[Josemurcia7]

La ironía ha hecho acto de presencia en mi vida.

Después de 3 semanas haciendo el countdown, muriendo por dentro esperando la fecha de presentación del McLaren-Honda MP4/30, me veo obligado a asistir mañana a una reunión informal para cerrar un mini trato de patrocinio para la marca... A las 12:00 xDDD

Apiadaos de mi, por favor. Cuando vuelva a casa veré desde la pagina que me quedé, y me comprometo a no mirar nada hasta entonces.

Me va a dar algo... Jajaja

McLaren-Honda 2015 car launch has Formula 1 rivals intrigued
By Jonathan Noble Wednesday, January 28th 2015, 17:24 GMT

Stoffel Vandoorne, McLaren-Honda, Abu Dhabi F1 test, November 2014

The stuttering start of McLaren and Honda's first public Formula 1 test last year has not stopped Thursday's 2015 car launch being the winter's most anticipated.

McLaren has already been singled out by Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo as the team with the biggest potential to surprise, and all eyes are now on what its new partnership with Honda produces.

Details about the design of the new car - even what colour it will be this year - have been kept a closely guarded secret despite the rampant interest and speculation.

But there have been clues about what we should expect when photographs of the MP4-30 are finally released.

The most striking visual difference will of course be the nose, for F1's new regulations have forced all teams to modify the pointed extensions that were so heavily criticised last year.

McLaren technical director Tim Goss said in a 2015 car teaser video this week that its nose "looked sensible" - and it will be fascinating to see if the team has adopted the thumb-type extension seen on the Williams or the step solution that Lotus chose.

RED BULL INFLUENCE?

Having had the best engine last year with Mercedes, it was clear McLaren's aerodynamic performance was behind its rivals.

An overhaul of its structure - allied to the capture of chief engineer Peter Prodromou from Red Bull - has been integral in a push to change that for 2015.

We already saw Red Bull-inspired front wing designs last year, and perhaps the MP4-30 will feature the kind of tightly packaged rear ends that have been commonplace from RBR in recent years too.

Certainly Goss suggested that a stand-out feature of the 2015 car was how well it had been packaged around its new power unit.

"The chassis is much tighter," he said. "Honda has done a fantastic job in packaging everything in such a tight space."

HONDA HISTORY

But the real intrigue surrounds what Honda can do on its return to F1.

That first test in Abu Dhabi last November was far from ideal, as reliability problems limited running.

Was McLaren-Honda's first test a disaster?

But Honda is unlikely to have taken what happened lightly and will have invested a lot in ensuring things are better when it returns to the track at Jerez.

Having watched from the sidelines last season, Honda has had the advantage of not only knowing what performance benchmark it is aiming for - but also having got a few design concept clues.

As Goss pointed out, there has been proper evaluation of whether or not to adopt the Mercedes-style split turbo/compressor, and in-depth discussion with McLaren to ensure that cooling requirements are absolutely ideal.

He said Honda's challenges included "trying to work out whether you put the compressor and turbine at the back of the power unit or somehow you split it and have the compressor at the front and turbine at the back.

"And where you will position radiators so you balance out cooling left to right on the car, which is terms of aerodynamics, makes things quite tricky."

Honda's successful F1 history with McLaren has left rivals wary of writing it off.

Goss thinks the opposition has good reason to be anxious.

"Honda are so dedicated to the cause," he said. "They took it to a new level back in the 1990s and they are absolutely committed to doing the same again."

All eyes are now on what Woking delivers.

The headline-grabbers for the upcoming season will undoubtedly be the return of Honda, Fernando Alonso’s reunion with Ron Dennis at McLaren and Sebastian Vettel’s role in the ongoing soap opera that is the politically charged reinvention of Ferrari.

However, away from those marquee melodramas there are some smaller, but no less fascinating stories that will give us something to ponder over across the course of the season.
One of these is the potentially intriguing battle between the rookies at Toro Rosso. All eyes will of course be on the progress of 17-year-old Max Verstappen – a driver who thanks to the FIA new Superlicence rules will for the foreseeable future hold the record of F1’s youngest driver.
Verstappen’s ability to transition from F3 to the rigours of Formula One will feature substantially in coverage of the team, but in the background a stealth weapon may be shaping up to eclipse the much vaunted youngster – in the shape of Carlos Sainz Jr.
Amid the clangour surrounding Verstappen’s rise, Sainz’s arrival in the big league has elicited barely a shrug. However, even a cursory look at the 20-year-old’s racing record reveals that in the ‘son of former driver’ stakes it may ultimately not be the expected scion that shines.
Arriving into the Red Bull Junior Programme at the same time as the highly-rated Daniil Kvyat, Sainz has been paired with the hot shoe Russian through much of his junior career and has frequently beaten the driver who this year takes over from Sebastian Vettel at Red Bull Racing.
In Formula BMW Pacific both won on their first weekend in the series, in Malaysia in 2010, with Sainz eventually scoring three race wins to Kvyat’s two. The following year, in the Formula Renault 2.0 NEC series Kvat took an impressive seven wins, including victories in the last four races. That was enough to hand him second in the championship. The man ahead of him, though, was Sainz, with 11 wins and six other podium finishes. He finished with 489 points to Kvyat’s 441.
In the same season, Kvyat finished third the Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup standings with two wins and four other podium finishes. Again the main in front of him was Sainz with two wins and eight other podium finishes.

There the pair’s careers diverged and while Kvyat went on to Formula Alps triumph in 2012 and then a GP3 title in 2013 before joining Toro Rosso, the slightly younger Sainz toiled through a variety of series in 2012 to gain experience and then endured an unspectacular GP3 tour in 2013.
Midway through that season however, Sainz was given a chance to try out Red Bull Racing’s RB9 at the Silvertsone, with the word coming back from the then champions that the youngster had hugely impressed with his pace, intelligence and assured feedback.
Last season saw a huge return to form, with Sainz dominating the Formula Renault 3.5 series to become its youngest champions with seven wins and seven pole positions.
The underlying message then is that the son of the double world rally champion might have had a low-key entry into F1 thanks to his more high-profile team-mate but he could well end the listen as the one in the limelight.

Que me gustaria un coche negro "Agresivo-malote". Un coche que "acojone"al contrario nada mas verlo. Y en manos de Fernando seria una bestia negra en la pista.

¡Con la fuerza y elegancia de un pura sangre y la agresividad felina e inquietante de una pantera negra!  

¡Si negro ha de ser, sea!

¡Qué ganitas madre!

Negro ?.... me gustaria....
naranjito? ?.... no tanto....

Dice Horner que el mediocre Dedettel pensó seriamente en dejar la F1 por lo fustrado que se sentía a los mandos del RB10.  "Estaba infeliz con la Fórmula 1, los cuatro años anteriores fueron tan buenos en un coche en el que amaba pilotar que, de repente, las cosas fueron muy diferentes. Fue como si alguien le hubiera quitado su juguete y le llevó tiempo tener que enfrentarse a eso".

Pues este año con el Ferrata lo mismo acaba en la clínica López Ibor.

Son cosas como esta o sus chillidos en Silverstone "Jooooo, que Fernando no me deja pasaaar!" mientras se zampaba trece vueltas detrás de un coche dos segundos más lento, las que hacen que realmente sienta admiración y respeto por este gran tetra-trampeón

#PosVaAserQueNo

A mí particularmente me gustó más la de "Me siento como Senna"...

Me hubiera encantado verle aguantar al Ferrari del Káiser un stint entero con medio coche petado... O verle a él en el Ferrata y a Fernando detrás con su ReBú...

Es lo que tienen unas tetas de silicona. Pueden ser preciosas, eso no lo pongo en duda. Hasta puedes no notar la diferencia. Pero como te enteres que debajo son de plástico pues.. no es lo mismo... no?

Y perdón por el comentario, chicas, pero es que entre borregos como nos (y una vez gastado ya el arcoiris que vá desde Mediocre a Hacendado) no se me ocurre un ejemplo más... descriptivo... ...dicho sea con todo el respeto, eh?

Vettel se ha equivocado de profesión, lo suyo es conducir el Shinkansen (tren bala) !!
