El calentón que le costó la victoria al poleman más joven de la historia

1 month ago | es.motorsport.com | Adam Cooper

De haber ganado, la carrera del italiano podría haber tomado una dirección diferente, pero no solo perdió el liderato por un ataque de furia, sino que terminó la tarde en el muro, como solía pasarle. De hecho, esa carrera se convirtió por un golpe del destino con la memorable primera victoria de Niki Lauda desde el regreso, el hombre que había reemplazado a de Cesaris en McLaren.
John Surtees, el único campeón de la historia a dos y cuatro ruedas

Oct 25, 2024 | es.motorsport.com | Adam Cooper

Durante décadas, John Surtees fue condecorado primero como Miembro, luego como Oficial y en 2020 como Comendador de la Orden del Imperio Británico. Para sus amigos y fans, que los tiene en todo el mundo, fue una injusticia que no llegara a recibir el merecido título de Caballero (de mayor rango que los que consiguió). La palabra "leyenda" se utiliza con demasiada frecuencia, pero si alguien merece ser nombrado así, ese es Surtees. Nació en Surrey, en 1934.
De race van mijn leven: Niki Lauda over GP van Portugal 1984

Race: Grand Prix van Portugal, Estoril, 1984Auto: McLaren MP4/2Interview door Adam Cooper, eerder gepubliceerd in Autosport Magazine"De race van mijn leven is heel gemakkelijk te kiezen. Het was de laatste race in 1984 in Portugal, toen ik het kampioenschap won met een half punt verschil van mijn teamgenoot Alain Prost. Ik denk dat dit de moeilijkste race voor me was. Eind 1983 verloor Prost zijn zitje bij Renault - niemand had dat verwacht.
De race van mijn leven: Emerson Fittipaldi over de GP van Italië 1972

Oct 14, 2024 | nl.motorsport.com | Adam Cooper

Race: Grand Prix van Italië, 1972Auto: Lotus 72D"Voor mij was het een geweldige prestatie toen ik het Formule 1-wereldkampioenschap won op Monza. Ik won de race en ik won het kampioenschap. Als je kijkt naar de techniek en de moeilijkheidsgraad om een race te winnen, is het een ander verhaal. Het kan een veel minder belangrijke race zijn en je vecht als een gek om te winnen - zoals Mid-Ohio in 1988 - en het heeft een zeer belangrijke waarde voor je.
Pirelli'nin F1 lastiklerini geliştirme mücadelesi, neden hiç bitmiyor?

May 13, 2024 | tr.motorsport.com | Adam Cooper

Şirket sadece her yıl daha fazla yere basma gücü ve daha hızlı tur zamanları üreten otomobiller için lastiklerini geliştirmek zorunda değil, aynı zamanda yaklaşan kural değişikliklerine hazırlanmak ve uyum sağlamak zorunda. Örneğin geçen yıl Pirelli, 2024 yılında battaniyesiz çalışacak lastikler geliştirmeye odaklanmıştı, ancak planlanan değişiklikten vazgeçildi. Bunun da bu sezon üzerinde büyük bir etkisi oldu.

May 7, 2024 | formu1a.uno | Adam Cooper

Fernando Alonso hopes that F1 penalties will be “a little bit more consistent” after talking to FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem in Miami. Alonso created a stir by suggesting that nationality sometimes played a part in penalties after Lewis Hamilton escaped sanction for contact with the Aston Martin driver at the start of the sprint event.
Perché la sfida dello sviluppo di Pirelli in F1 non finisce mai

May 6, 2024 | it.motorsport.com | Adam Cooper

L'azienda non solo deve perfezionare i suoi pneumatici per le auto che ogni anno generano più carico e producono tempi sul giro più veloci, ma deve anche prepararsi e adattarsi a qualsiasi modifica regolamentare in arrivo. L'anno scorso, ad esempio, Pirelli si è concentrata sullo sviluppo delle gomme per farle funzionare senza coperte nel 2024, ma alla fine questo cambiamento non è stato attuato. A sua volta, ciò ha avuto un forte impatto sulla stagione in corso.
1994 Imola hafta sonunun unutulan kahramanı: Roland Ratzenberger

Apr 30, 2024 | tr.motorsport.com | Adam Cooper

O, daha önce sadece tek sefer F1 yarışına katılmıştı ancak 33 yaşındaki Ratzenberger farklı serilerde çok fazla deneyime sahipti. Onun F1'e uzanan yolu daha uzun sürdü. En büyük adımlarından birisi, Alain Prost'un 1986 şampiyonluğunu kazandığı gün Ratzenberger'in de Brands Hatch'teki Formula Ford festivalini kazanmasıydı. O başarının ardından Ratzenberger, "geleceğin yıldızı" olabileceğini göstermişti.
Gasly rues costly floor damage from Ocon contact in F1 Japanese GP

Apr 10, 2024 | autosport.com | Adam Cooper

The pair touched at the restart following the early red flag, with Gasly losing what the team later estimated as around 33 points of downforce, which equates to a potential lap time impact of up to 0.7-0.9 seconds. Ocon also suffered some damage and thereafter both drivers had an even trickier race than they had anticipated with the difficult A524, eventually finishing 15th and 16th, with Gasly behind. “We had an amazing first start and managed to move up three positions,” said Gasly.
Andretti planning F2 and F3 entries to promote US talent to F1 team

Apr 10, 2024 | au.motorsport.com | Adam Cooper

Andretti has begun a move into a new facility on the Silverstone Park estate as its F1 project continues to progress, and the plan is to also occupy an adjacent larger building. Assuming that the team’s F1 entry eventually gets a green light, it will base F3 and F2 programmes at the new site. The intention is also to move the Formula E team from its current base in nearby Banbury and potentially add a sportscar programme as well.
