Mercedes-Benz C111 II, 1970. The death was announced this week of Bruno Sacco, who served as the head of styling at Mercedes-Benz from 1975 to 1999, having joined the company in 1958. A German-Italian who had studied mechanical engineering at the Polytechnic University of Turin, Sacco worked at both Ghia and Pininfarina before moving to Germany and joining Daimler-Benz AG. The C111 was a series of experimental cars used to test new engine technologies, including rotary, diesel and turbochargers, for which Sacco was lead designer.

Also amazing to me that George and Lewis can turn up, spend the whole morning giggling and joking with each other, have an entire race where they have absolutely nothing to do with each other from lights out to chequered flag, and yet we still end up in a situation where George gets abuse for yet more unspecified conspiracy nonsense that is nothing to do with him...

Third place finisher Michael Schumacher speaks English instead of German during the post-race press conference at the European Grand Prix (Part 2) - Sunday 24th June 2012

English section transcription under the cut

Interviewer: Michael [prompting him for the 'in your own language' segment]

Michael Schumacher: [In English] Yeah, it's uh... these moments that make Formula 1 so special. I just wanna say thanks to all, and everybody in the team that has just worked so hard for all those times that we've worked together. And these special moments, such as we had in Monaco, and now finally here being on the podium in the end of the race - it's those moments that we all love, and that's what we've all worked for.

We've been criticised, for the last races that we've had that didn't run to plan. But that's what is the best answer, to do what we did here - get a car reliable and be strong enough and fight our way back into the podium. And that's what I all love you for - to always be behind me, to always trust in me, so I do.

And uh... it's actually in German yeah? [laughs].

Cyril was invited on a French podcast about motorsports. It's almost 2 hours long but he shares a lot about the RBR/Renault negociations and contracts throughout the years, as well as crash gate or how the teams reacted to Liberty Media buying F1. I am halfway through and he hasn't spoken about Daniel yet but it is really worth a listen if you speak french!

He mentions for example how during the 2015 season, Horner and Marko thought they were going to get Mercedes engines (because of a lunch they had with some Mercedes people) and wanted to terminate their deal with Renault. I just can't imagine what Daniel's 2016 season would've been if they had actually had the Mercedes PU.

I'll write down the main points about Daniel once I've finished listening to the episode.

But who made Lewis do it, to bet on a Ferrari that's been losing for almost two decades?

Leo Turrini interviews Aldo Costa about working with Hamilton and Schumacher

A vegan menu is already ready at [Ristorante] Montana. Guess for whom.

While waiting to enjoy it in the company of the person to whom it will be dedicated (the menu), I chatted with a gentleman who has known those two up close and personal. Aldo Costa, my dear friend.

Costa: "Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton have a lot in common. But there are also significant differences between them. However, it is beautiful that the two most successful drivers in F1 history have chosen to link their name to Ferrari."

Aldo Costa, now technical director of the wonderful Dallara ("From the Parma hills we deal with 17 automotive projects, from IndyCar to Formula E"), Aldo Costa, I said, is the only Top engineer to have worked with both Schumi and with Hamilton. At Maranello he was part of the Dream Team of Montezemolo and Todt. In Mercedes, he won everything and more with Lewis.

Engineer, who is better between the two?

Costa: "I refuse to answer, this is a provocation. I want to say right away that Michael and Lewis are less far apart than you might imagine. Both have always had a very analytical approach to things off track. They are meticulous, very professional. They know that at certain levels it's the details that shift the balance, that determine the outcome."

From the outside Schumi looked like a robot, an alien....

Costa: "Wrong impression! Michael was very human in the work. He would sit there with the engineers and calmly convey his feelings about the car he was driving. He was never obsessive, that's it."

In contrast, Hamilton?

Costa: "Same dough. Lewis I got to know better, because in Mercedes I had a role that put me in more direct contact with the driver. He and I were symbiotic. Hamilton, like Schumi, asks for trust and trusts you."

That must be why the two of them won 14 world titles.

Costa: "So. Then, of course, they are also distinct and distant from each other."

In what sense?

Costa: "You see, they belong to non-overlapping cultures. Can I give an example? Schumacher was the last driver of an era when cars were developed on the track, through continuous testing on the asphalt. And in this he was formidable, unique I dare say."

Hamilton was not.

Costa: "No. Lewis belongs to the time of the simulator.They changed the rules. In short: Michael was always behind the wheel, Hamilton almost never because he can't. Not surprisingly, Schumi when he returned to racing in 2010, with no more circuit testing, he had a bad time. He, the simulator, just really hated it."

But other than that, the substance, I mean as achievements and victories, has not changed.

Costa: "Indeed, because we are talking about two Phenomena! I will give you another example. Schumi determined tire development with his testing, because he could do it. In Hamilton's era, the tires are baptized first by the sole supplier, and the greatness of the driver lies in his ability to make the most out of tires right away that he does not know, that he did not have a hand in choosing beforehand. And in this he is an absolute master, as Michael was in his world."

But who made Lewis do it, to bet on a Ferrari that's been losing for almost two decades?

Costa: "Well, he is an instinctive one. He followed his heart. It's not a turn dictated by the God of money."

But what are the chances that...

Costa: "I won't answer here. In Maranello they know they have a lot of things to fix..."

Does he think Hamilton will pull in technicians he trusts from the Mercedes school?

Costa:"I don't know. When he came over to Mercedes in 2013, leaving McLaren, he presented just himself. They called him crazy, but you know how it went."

One last thing, dear Costa. Since everyone understood that in 2011 the Ferrari made an own goal by torpedoing you from the role of technical director, in short , yes, would you go back to Maranello with your friend Lewis?

Costa: "No. I am happily ... married to engineer Dallara, by the way we collaborate with the Cavallino on the Le Mans project."

Hamilton will win without Costa.

Costa: "For the good it brings him, I wish him well."
