SEBASTIAN VETTEL EXPLORES THE FUTURE OF FORMULA ONE AND ROAD CAR TECHNOLOGY AHEAD OF BRITISH GRAND PRIX прес-релиз на аглийском Ahead of the British Grand Prix, Vettel and Infiniti Red Bull Racing engineer visit Infiniti’s European Technology Center in the UK to discuss future power train and hybrid technologies Vettel tests the world’s fastest production hybrid vehicle on dyno and provides performance driving input Works with top Infiniti engineers to dissect 2014 Formula One Technical Regulations, and identify potential road car / race car technology transfer CRANFIELD, UK (June 27, 2013) – Just days ahead of the 2013 British Grand Prix, Formula One Triple World Champion Sebastian Vettel continued his immersion into Infiniti’s engineering development by visiting the company’s European Technical Center (NTCE). In his role as Infiniti Director of Performance, Vettel was joined by Infiniti Red Bull Racing Deputy Chief Designer Rob Gray to discuss the 2014 F1™ technical regulations with Infiniti’s top engineers. Their key objective was to explore the future powertrain, hybrid technologies and energy recovery systems currently being developed at Infiniti’s UK facility. “With the technical challenges facing us for 2014, in particular the role that hybrid technology is set to play from a driving point of view, I was interested in hearing from Infiniti’s powertrain engineers about the advances they are making in this area.” said Vettel. “Key for me is to understand how we manage the smooth transition between the petrol and hybrid systems when I’m driving the car, and how we can get maximum precision and feel from energy recovery systems as they become more important to F1™ next year.” Vettel and Gray spent the day with the Technical Center’s Vice President David Moss, Chief Marketability Engineer Jerry Hardcastle and Powertrain Manager Graeme Burn to discuss the future of power unit technology and how the technical collaboration between Infiniti and Infiniti Red Bull Racing can bring further benefits on the track and the road. One example of this future technology was put to the test by the World Championship leader as he took the wheel of an Infiniti M35h – the world’s fastest production hybrid - on one of the Center’s Homologation Dynamometers, alongside a powertrain specialist. “The laboratory test procedure gave Sebastian the opportunity to experience and evaluate areas like throttle response and regenerative braking power in an Infiniti road car”, said Graeme Burn. “Driving the Infiniti M35h on the dyno is very different to driving it on the road or track because you are able to concentrate completely on the vehicle’s drivetrain performance through a rapid series of acceleration, deceleration and gearchange manoeuvres specifically designed to put the system to the test. Sebastian was understandably demanding on the car because he wants to be sure this technology delivers what he would expect from a premium performance sedan, as well as how it might feel under foot in a Formula One car.” Sebastian Vettel added: “Infiniti’s engineers have successfully combined performance, efficiency and driveability in the Infiniti M35h to deliver a hybrid car that is amazingly quick and responsive. We want to bring this knowledge into the team as we develop the 2014 race car, and I also think that future Infiniti road car powertrains can benefit from the lessons we learn in Formula One.” Commenting on the technical collaboration, Infiniti Red Bull Racing’s Rob Gray said: ”We have been working closely with Infiniti’s engineers and are already benefiting from this two-way sharing of technology expertise. As we head into 2014 with an increased focus on electric power unit technology and energy recovery, today’s visit, complete with Sebastian’s input, was a valuable insight into the power unit technology currently being worked on and there is plenty that both we and Infiniti can take from that.” Another central theme for discussion was the future direction hybrid electric technology could take in both road and racing cars. Also available for Vettel and Gray to inspect were the all-new Infiniti Q50 Hybrid launching later this year and the Cranfield-built high-performance Infiniti Emerg-e, a highly advanced EV sports car concept that combines all-electric drive with a range-extender powertrain to deliver 402bhp and a total range of 300miles. In his role as Infiniti’s Director of Performance, Vettel has already benchmarked competitor vehicles with Infiniti dynamics engineers at the Circuit Paul Ricard in France, and met engineers at the company’s North American Technical Center to discuss areas of vehicle performance including engine sound and ergonomics. He has also been central to the development of two vehicles in the Infiniti Q50 and Infiniti FX Vettel Edition. High-Res +4

собственно Гельмут и был тот кто уговорил Дитриха выкупить Ягуар, тот кто разгребал на начальном этапе этот Ягуар, тот кто нашел Кристиана и дал ему свободу, тот кто заманил Ньюи и т.д., и т.п.

ну да, завел Red Bull в F1, создал успешную команду которая всех отымела, и теперь он лишний вообщето доктор возглавляет Red Bull Motorsport, и вероятно председатель СД в Red Bull Racing (компания не публичная потому это точно не известно), и он будет в паддоке до тех пор пока не надоест, а надоест он может сказать Дитриху - сваливаем. а ты кто?

и Ауди и Порше в статусе заводских коллективов?

вероятно Порше'14 будет развитием Ауди'13, или они друг с другом будут соперничать?

если бы в РБР хотели сделать так как в фурах, то у Марка давно в контракте было бы прописано что он №2, или если бы он добровольно на это не согласился, то так было бы прописано в контракте у другого пилота №2. все логично, просто и на поверхности, но если хочешь верить в бред сказочников, ради бога :)

Bugeisha, в РБР реально

тоже надеюсь его видеть в паддоке. в любом случае жаль, буду скучать.

это как?

добавлю по вело-прогулке Марка в Mont Rigaud :) статья на аглийском It’s not unusual to see Mark Webber deep in concentration, figuring out lines, choosing the right gear ratios, avoiding bumps – rather less common is seeing him doing that while dodging rocks and getting big air flying over tree roots. This was the challenge on Wednesday, as Mark went out to blow away the cobwebs at Mont Rigaud, mountain biking with alpine skiing world champion Erik Guay. Mark, as usual, took to the challenge with the sort of enthusiasm that makes the team a little bit nervous – but leaves him grinning ear-to-ear. “It is a few days before the race but we can’t wrap ourselves in cotton wool,” said Mark before setting off. “I have to train anyway, to make sure I’m fit and well. Having a mixture of different activities is good for me. The variety is important and keeps me motivated. And frankly, mountain biking is probably a bit safer than riding on the roads!” Mark’s no stranger to adventure sports in Canada, his previous encounter with Erik was on the water, sampling a professional-standard white-water kayaking course a couple of years ago. They were more in their element on bikes while not particularly well matched, Mark forging ahead on the uphill sections, and Erik faster than a greased cheetah once the trails turned downwards. “Well, he’s no stranger to good technique and choosing the right lines going downhill – but at 95kg all of that climbing isn’t going to be easy for him!” said Mark. “Yeah, he gave me some schooling going up those hills!” added Erik. It was, said Mark, a good way to get into the weekend. “It’s useful to get that balance of a hard workout, good concentration but having a lot of fun too – especially on those downhills. It’s very technical and you really have to pay attention.” Erik will be a guest of Red Bull Racing this weekend, watching from the garage as the team sets about trying to improve on its three podium finishes here at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, one of only two grand prix venues from which there isn’t yet a winner’s cup in the trophy cabinet at Milton Keynes. хайрез +3 видео

думаю по большей части с радостью, во всяком случае не слышал про возражения :)

точно говорю те арабы не имеют никакого отношения к японскому автопроизводителю, их название пишется Infinity, и там чисто инвест-фонд в основном с деньгами шейхов т.ч. завязываем тут с этим вопросом :)

это DC ему можно :D часть Лотуса купили арабы, к японскому Инфинити они отношения не имеют

:D
