“Checo was on the ropes careerwise. We did a deal that gave him a second wind and he has now won four grands prix and numerous podiums. He is driving better and better and finding his confidence. The biggest challenge for Checo is sustaining that over 23 events because that is where Max has become so strong over the last few years with the relentless consistency that he has.” As you might expect, Horner’s appreciation of Verstappen is absolute. How could it be otherwise? Verstappen’s divinity is universally acknowledged, giving full expression to the eternal qualities shared by the pantheon. Asked if he is already on the lookout for the next Max, Horner replied: “There isn’t another Max. If you look back at 2021 at the pressure he had at certain points he drove some incredible races. “In Zandvoort, his home nation had turned it into a flipping nightclub for the weekend. The noise on the grid, the expectation, the royal family was there. I remember watching him getting ready for the race, just a 24-year-old lad, he had this amazing ability to detach himself from what was going on around him and just be in the moment. He drove an incredible race, won it, but there was no crowd surfing at the end of it. It was just on to the next one.”

Monaco 2007, post-race press conference

Interviewer: "Lewis, you certainly caught him, but then did you just ease off? Did you just decide that there was no point fighting for this?" Lewis: "I caught him up and… It's extremely difficult to overtake here in Monaco and he was obviously close to me, and I was told to take it easy. There was no point in pressuring him into a mistake, and then when he did make a mistake, crash into him, so it was best to finish one-two. But to be honest, I pushed as hard as I could to the end. I never give up, no matter what, and so I didn't really take too much notice and I kept going." Interviewer: "How did you feel about your start?" Lewis: "I thought my start was quite good. The key was to slot in behind Fernando. Obviously he starts on the better side of the grid, which sort of sets him up for turn one. I wasn't going to do anything crazy. We're both leading the world championship and we want to keep it like that. But I think I had quite good pace for the first couple of laps, and you just can't follow. It's been proved that even up to four seconds behind someone you still lose downforce, so considering I was that close to him for quite some time, it was good. But then I had quite a bit of graining with the front tyres and I couldn't get the car 'round the corners." Interviewer: "And I guess you hoped that three lap difference between your first pits stops for you…" Lewis: "Yeah, I was actually quite surprised because I was fueled to do five laps, maybe six laps longer than Fernando and they stopped me with three laps, so there wasn't much time to pull out a gap or improve my time. I wasn't really given much time for it. I came in two or three laps after. That was unfortunate, but that's the way it goes."

[QUESTIONS FROM THE FLOOR:] Journalist: "Mark Hughes, Autosport. Lewis, at the first stops you stopped about three laps later and a second and a half longer, when we expected you to run maybe five laps longer. Was there a problem at the first stop, or were you called in early at the second?" Lewis: "No, I really... I'm looking forward to speaking to my engineers. I'm pretty sure the reason they called me in earlier than I had fuel for is because of the safety car. If the safety car had come out they could really have changed the result, so it was better to get the pit stop done. Felipe had made his pit stop so he was no trouble to me and I could have kept my position, so they brought me in after three laps and I thought we were going to go shorter on the middle stint, but we didn't." Journalist: "Mark Hughes, Autosport. Does that suggest you were gambling on a safety car period?" Lewis: "To be honest, I have no clue. I just did my race and the team took care of it all." Journalist: "Ian Parkes, Associated Press. Lewis, it was noticeable that after the podium ceremony you handed your trophy to your brother, Nic. Is there any significance in that? Did you dedicate it to him in any way?" Hamilton: "No, not really. My brother supports me in every race, and it's good to have him there and he loves to be a part of it, and I'm proud to have him with me and it's great when he comes up and I can give him the trophy and make him feel important and just show him that he is."

Journalist: "Lionel Froissart, Liberation. Lewis, did you touch the rail two or three times in your last stint?" Lewis: "Yes." Journalist: "Lionel Froissart, Liberation. Where? Mirabeau?" Lewis: "I hit a couple of barriers. I'm not really sure which ones. I just tapped them." Journalist: "Kevin Garside, The Daily Telegraph. Lewis, for the first time this season you looked disappointed with second place today. It seems the pattern developing is that you' a're always heavier in the third qualifying session, which gives the world champion, Fernando, the best shot at pole. Is this hampering you? Do you feel frustrated?" Lewis: "At the end of the day, I'm a rookie. I'm in my first season in Formula 1 and I've finished second in only my first Monaco Grand Prix, so I really can't complain, but to see that I' a'm of a similar pace to Fernando is a positive for me. But it's something I have to live with. I've got number two on my car. I'm the number two driver." Journalist: "Juha Paatalo, Financial Times Germany. What was the team's explanation for you pitting early?" Lewis: "I just said I haven't spoken to my engineers, so I don't really know. I can only assume, as we were all on a two stop strategy, that if the safety car came out it really could have had a big effect and we wouldn't have ended up with the points we ended up with. It was important to get us in because anything could have happened, and so it was the safe route." Journalist: "Ian Parkes, Associated Press. Lewis, you mentioned that there were team orders towards the end of the race, that you are the number two driver. Is this something that you find difficult to come to terms with?"

Lewis: "There weren't necessarily any team orders. They didn't say that I had to stay behind Fernando. But the goal of the team is to score as many points as possible, and we want to pull away from the Ferraris, and the only way we can do that is to finish in first and second or ahead of them. It was easy for me to maybe push a bit harder and to touch the barrier and maybe to crash or push Fernando into a mistake, but that would have been a negative on the team. Coming into the season, I expect to be the number two driver. I'm a rookie, it's my first season, but I'm just pleased to be here and it really is a great feeling for me to be sitting next to these drivers and still living my dream and to be on the podium in all five of my first grands prix. I hope to continue like that." Journalist: "Rodrigo Franca, Racing Magazine. Lewis, what did you learn from the GP2 series and who do you see from your old GP2 rivals who could do a good job in Formula 1?" Lewis: "GP2 was a great category, obviously, and it helped boost my opportunity to get into Formula 1 and is a great stepping stone for anyone's career. I haven't really had the opportunity to watch it, as I'm so busy during the weekends, but there are lots of drivers there, without giving any names, who did a great job and they all have the potential.

Back to the Bower Fold glory days

KEVAN KEELAN led the parade of Seventies and Eighties greats who gathered at Bower Fold for a day of reunion and reminiscences.

Keelan, who played 395 times for Stalybridge Celtic and managed them to the 1986-87 North West Counties League championship, was joined by two other men who made more than 300 appearances in the blue and white shirt: Steve Waywell (302) and Kevin Crumblehulme (301).

The event was the brainchild of Paul Mather, Celtic's most decorated player, who made his debut in February, 1978, and is remembered for some memorable derby clashes with Hyde United captain Tony Steenson.

Also present was Peter Wragg, who managed Bridge for 368 games in three spells, leading them to the Cheshire League championship in 1979-80 and helping them to escape what looked like certain relegation from the old Conference in 1994-95.

Others who attended were Billy Ash, Bob Barrass, Colin Booth, Kevin Booth, Dave Bourne, Peter Coutts, Alec Davies, Paul Garside, Bobby Grimshaw, Barry Lord, Pete Morgan and Dave Stewart.

Statistics were compiled by Celtic's sports therapist and club historian Dave Pover.

I don't know this Kevin Garside person, but if a team or an athlete refuses to give interviews to the media that have been jerks to this team or athlete and you call this "shutting down the voice", you are way too privileged and have no idea what "shutting a voice" means.

Sincerely, a Russian

I swear to god Red Bull and Max seriously need to Sue about this…

There was much coughing and spluttering in Formula One and beyond last week when Stirling Moss expressed the view that he would rather not be portrayed on film by a homosexual male. Dipping into the parlance of a bygone age, Moss used the word "poofter", which crashed about the chattering classes like a bovver boy at a home counties garden party.

Moss was the alpha male of 1950s Britain, a diminutive bundle of post-war machismo whose principal interest each day was to drive cars fast and cover as many women, or "birds", as his libido would allow. Moss was a child of his time, a marvellously uncomplicated figure who followed uncritically the promptings of his instinctive drives in a culture that shamelessly codified women as domestic appliances in suspender belts.

Mercifully the world has moved on. There is one, however, who in some aspects of human behaviour, as it pertains to Formula One at least, still inhabits the Moss milieu. That is not to say Kimi Raikkonen alerts his wife to her marital responsibilities with a club around the head, only that he brings to the business of grand prix racing the same unfettered joie de vivre that Moss did. Raikkonen is a racing driver at grand prix weekends. In between he lives a life a little calmer perhaps than he did in his twenties, but nevertheless he is a million miles removed from the polished corporate jockey demanded by today's teams.

His reluctance to play the corporate game, or "b******t" as he refers to this aspect of modern Formula One, explains in large part why he left Ferrari and the sport for two years to try his hand at rallying, a far more relaxed environment in which to indulge his speed fix. He was, and perhaps still is, a nightmare for paddock reporters seeking a point of view to enliven a dull day. But the bulletins between races more than made up for that, keeping his minders at Sauber and particularly McLaren's nanny state on their toes.

Favourites include the tales from a Mayfair lap-dancing club, where he once broke into a strip of his own, powerboat-racing dressed as a gorilla while using the pseudonym James Hunt, or falling drunk off the deck of a yacht during a mid-summer festival on a Finnish lake. All of which had McLaren's rather stiff ownership choking on their ironed cornflakes.

Raikkonen was catapulted into the sport by Sauber, who were persuaded to give the 21-year-old tearaway from Espoo a go after just 17 outings in single-seaters in British Formula Renault. My first encounter with him came 12 years ago in Malaysia, his second race in Formula One. The interview was conducted between practice sessions in an air-conditioned office in the Sepang paddock. He gave me nothing, save for a few grunts between spoonfuls of gruel knocked up especially for him. It was 40 degrees centigrade outside but that did not stop Raikkonen insisting on his favourite breakfast delicacy.

There is only so much you can do with "we have to wait and see". I was rescued by Finland's revered pit lane reporter Heikki Kulta, who spilled the beans about Raikkonen's less than propitious upbringing in Espoo, where he began life the son of a steamroller driver who opted to invest in a kart for his boy rather than an inside toilet for their rundown home. Good decision, boss. Raikkonen continues to speak in t-shirt slogans. "I told you the car was good," was his latest offering after taking the chequered flag in Albert Park, a rather more polite expression of Finnish delight than the instruction he gave en route to victory in Abu Dhabi last year: "Leave me alone, I know what I'm doing."

So much of Formula One reduces to numbers. The mathematicians churn out impossible algorithms that yield predictions for every eventuality. But it is the driver who must intuit the car's performance, must somehow make the data he imbibes through the senses line up with the science. Biology tells us that the frontal lobes of the brain control and govern creative impulses. The research is sketchy since it operates on the frontiers of knowledge, nevertheless it suggests that at some point down the line medics will be able to classify the relationship between mind and body that has fascinated thinkers down the ages. This cannot come soon enough for the world of sport, where we suffer all manner of cod explanations or the terminally dull reductions of psychologists parroting on about visualisation and goals.

It is almost pointless asking Raikkonen to deconstruct his gifts. He just fires up the engine and gets on with it. That will have to do until the time comes when we can saw off the top of a man's head, peer into his cranium and see for ourselves what is going on in the mind of an athlete on top of his game.

New Post has been published on http://www.brianbrown.net/2014/10/17/for-ferraris-future-formula-1-success-is-absolutely-crucial/

For Ferrari's Future, Formula 1 Success Is Absolutely Crucial

Clive Mason/Getty ImagesFor Ferrari, it begins and ends right here.

At the Independent, Kevin Garside has an important article about the changing of the guard that’s currently happening at Ferrari. 

The carmaker’s longtime chairman Luca di Montezemolo, officially stepped down on Monday, just as parent company Fiat was merging fully with Chrysler and beginning to trade on the New York Stock Exchange. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne will now assume control of Ferrari.

REUTERSBetter days for the outgoing Ferrari chairman.

The luxury brand occupies a disproportionately significant place in FCA’s overall business. Because $300,000 (and up) bright red supercars are extremely profitable, FCA can see Ferrari as a shimmering golden growth opportunity. In fact, Montezemolo’s reasons for leaving are probably the result of Marchionne’s desire for Ferrari to sell another 3,000 cars a year, beyond its current, strictly limited 7,000.

STR/AFPTime to go, Luca.

But here’s the thing: Ferrari is a very successful luxury carmaker only incidentally to its racing glory in, primarily, Formula 1. There really isn’t another automaker in the world that’s organized this way. The Scuderia — Ferrari’s racing arm — is the basis of the business and has been since founder Enzo Ferrari created the company. Build race cars first, then use the track experience to develop high-performance luxury cars to sell to the public.

If this sounds nuts, just have a look at the Ferrari 458 Italia — effectively a roadgoing race car that in stripped-down form is frequently raced on actual tracks by trained drivers.

FerrariFerrari 458’s being raced.

Ferrari could sell a trillion bucks worth of cars every year, but if the Scuderia doesn’t succeed, the core of brand erodes and the mystique fades.

And lately, Ferrari has been struggling in Formula 1. On Thursday, Montezemolo revealed what many knew was coming: that F1 driver Fernando Alonso is leaving Ferrari, ahead of schedule. A tough announcement for Montezemolo to make, as several years ago he named Alonso along with Michael Schumacher and Niki Lauda (both multiple F1 world champions) as the top of the pile, driver-wise.

YURI KADOBNOV/AFPIt didn’t work out at Ferrari.

Garside put it well:

It is perhaps in the nature of empires that the seeds of downfall are sown at the height of power. The great Alonso was seen by Di Montezemolo as a guarantee of the continuation of the dynasty that he rebuilt, the driver with whom the team would rise again to the imperious station carved out with Michael Schumacher at the wheel.

And then here’s Marchionne’s comments about what needs to be done now:

“I keep getting reminded racing is not a science, that a number of factors influence performance, and then I go to Monza and see the first six cars are not Ferrari or powered by a Ferrari engine, and my blood pressure just popped. A non-winning Ferrari on the Formula One track is not Ferrari. I can live with periods of bad luck, but it cannot become a structural element of the brand.”

This is why, for Ferrari, the Scuderia is the sword you live by, and you die by. Imagine the head of another automaker stepping down after a wildly successful period — Montezemolo hasn’t really made a single misstep in reviving Ferrari after the brand lost its way a bit in the 1980’s — because the race cars aren’t winning. 

Win in the market, lose on the track — and you have to go. Ferrari is one of the biggest brands in the world for a reason.

The pressure to maintain it is unlike anything else.

Motor AuthorityNothing easy about it.
