    Paul and I have spoken about Caterham F1′s inclusion of KERS for the 2012 season as a real boost to the team. If you consider that the final race of the 2011 season saw Caterham’s Heikki Kovalainen a few tenths off Williams F1′s pace, you can easily form an opinion that perhaps KERS would have made the difference. That’s speculation of course but perhaps conceivable as Caterham tech boss Mike Gascoyne has suggested this as well. Given the inclusion of the KERS unit for the team, one can presume they will gain a few tenths each lap and that is where the team is seated…

  • Whitmarsh: Cars, Lewis and strike rates

    McLaren’s team boss Martin Whitmarsh took a moment to answer some questions for the official Formula One website. It’s an interesting read and can be seen in its entirety here. A couple nuggets I’d like to mention are his elegant manner in which he discusses the 2011 performance by marginalizing the overall lack of achievements (2nd place is not their goal) with the impressive “strike rate” data as an aggregated number over McLaren’s history. Brilliant and professional PR as always. “That strike rate more than maintains McLaren’s all-time strike…

    Does anyone know what Jules Biachi did to earn Ferrari’s wrath? I’m assuming it was something serious, as Force India today announced that Biachi would be the team’s reserve driver this season. From the team’s release: The 22-year-old Frenchman will be integrated in the team’s programme and will participate in a minimum of nine Friday practice sessions during Grand Prix weekends. In preparation for the 2012 season, Jules will get his first run in the VJM05 during pre-season testing next month. The appointment sees Sahara Force India continue its tradition of…

  • Formula One’s most epic battle

    When Formula One fans think of classic battles over the years, they usually recall names such as Senna vs. Prost or Hunt vs. Lauda and perhaps even Mansell vs. Piquet. Those names are rightly justified when considering such great battles in F1 and some fans may even show their passion for teams instead of drivers offering names such as Ferrari vs. McLaren or Williams Vs. Everyone. Whether it be drivers or teams, you cannot fault the F1 fan for immediately gravitating to the highest profile battles in the sports history. What you may not find is the epic battles that are less publicized. The…

  • What might be looming for Petrov’s F1 future?

    Vitaly Petrov, a man with no Formula 1 drive but plenty of money, said a few interesting things Wednesday at a Pirelli event in Abu Dhabi. (Quick digression: It’s hard to feel to sorry for him when he’s doing events in Abu Dhabi. He ain’t in Siberia, is all I’m saying.) These quotes come via Autosport: On whether something is on the horizon “If I say something it will be turned into lots of stories. But please wait a little bit, another week. I want to say something but I can’t say at the moment.” On the need to stay in F1 in some capacity “I…

  • Whitmarsh: McLaren MP4-27 is a logical evolution of the MP4-26

    27 Jan 2012 | 4:07 pm
    Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team Principal Martin Whitmarsh speaks exclusively to Formula1.com (Official F1 website).Q: This time last year the MP4-26’s mediocre testing form must have already forced you to lower your sights for 2011. But it turned out to be a pretty decent season for you all the same. How is the MP4-27 shaping up? What is your gut feeling?MW: I recognize the point you’re making, but first I want to say a bit about 2011, which as you say was a pretty decent year.

    2007 world champion Kimi Raikkonen says that he was “expecting it to feel fast when you really go with the throttle but I had the sensation maybe once”.
