Vivere lontano da casa non è per tutti.
Devi avere un cuore grande, grande a sufficienza per far da valigia a tutto ciò che lasci; gioie e dolori, amici e amori. Questo bagaglio cardiaco che batte anche quando tocchi un suolo che non ti appartiene o quando sei steso su un materasso che non ha la tua forma e un cuscino scomodo, e guardi il soffitto chiedendoti dove stai andando.
Amici che non sono i tuoi, una città che non è tua.
Devi avere un cuore grande, così grande da far spazio a cose nuove. Un cuore che a volte temi che altri abbiano dimenticato, perché il presente ha preso il sopravvento nelle loro vite. Un cuore grande, ma non troppo forte. Allora è lì che si ferma un attimo. Va in va arresto, ti confonde e non sa più chi sei.
Così ti stendi sul materasso che ora ha subìto un po' il tuo peso, ed il cuscino più molle da una parte e ti chiedi chi stai diventando più che dove stai andando. Perché quando parti, più che muoverti verso una destinazione, vai verso un destino, il tuo.
Fino a quando non ci lasciamo alle spalle vecchi schemi non ci sarà mai spazio per vedere nuovi orizzonti.

Sergio Marchionne

Some at the team knew he was the man for the job, but Charles Leclerc's procurement of a seat relied on a neat bit of manoeuvring in order for their boss to agree to a deal.
We're not talking here about the delay that followed Sergio Marchionne's death before Leclerc gained a 2019 Ferrari Formula 1 drive, rather his maiden season of car racing in the '14 Formula Renault ALPS series.
Fortec Motorsport engineer Martin Young knew all about the talents of the 16-year-old Monegasque driver.
"My background is in karting," he explains. "I used to work for the factory teams in Italy. I knew the drivers to watch from karting would be Max Verstappen, Ben Barnicoat and Charles Leclerc, and Fortec wanted to run teams in Eurocup, NEC and ALPS."
It's worth explaining here that in those days Formula Renault 2.0 operated as a pyramid structure, with the Eurocup at the top, and the Dutch-promoted Northern European Cup and Italian-run ALPS series as the base. Fortec was already established in Eurocup and NEC, but was venturing into ALPS for the first time.
"At the time it looked like Verstappen would be doing Eurocup, and we had Ben signed for NEC," continues Young. "I spoke to Jamie Dye [Fortec managing director] and said that if we wanted to move forward in ALPS we needed to get Leclerc.
"We did a test day at Motorland [Aragon] and we sort of lied about his times - we'd put Charles up against a lot of experienced drivers, so he was 1.2-1.3 seconds off - so that Richard [Dutton, team principal] would stay interested in giving him a bit of a deal. Richard was asking, 'Is he really good?', and we said, 'Yeah, we know he's really good.'"

Barnicoat, now a factory McLaren GT racer, was already familiar with Leclerc - as a Racing Steps Foundation protege, he was part of the ART Grand Prix line-up in international karting in 2012 and '13, while Leclerc belonged (and still does) to the All Road Management stable of ART shareholder Nicolas Todt.
"I had two years as team-mate to him in karting," says Barnicoat. "The first year I was directly racing with him, and in the second he went into gearbox [KZ] karts. He was one of the best team-mates I ever had, if not the best. A great guy.
"That first year, Charles won the WSK series and I won the European championship - that was up against the likes of Verstappen, so the competition was extremely high. I feel sort of left out!
"He had a bit more track knowledge so in the first half of the year he was beating me, but then we pushed each other really hard and that worked for the team - we got a lot from that.
"Looking at how good he is, it's nice to know I beat him on occasions, to know that I had the talent and ability to do that."
Fortec was one of the teams that tested Verstappen, and was also eyeing a deal with another talented karter: George Russell, whose plan was to combine Renault ALPS with what was then BRDC Formula 4.
Russell, who now is on course to succeed Leclerc as Formula 2 champion, eventually joined Prema Powerteam for ALPS, but that deal fell over on the eve of the season and he secured a last-minute berth at Koiranen GP.
"We wanted George; we tried to sign him," says Dutton of what could have been a mighty line-up had Russell joined Leclerc. "But he signed for Prema and then [Lawrence] Stroll [who had taken a majority shareholding in Prema] stopped him from going there."
"Me and Charles were testing for Fortec," says Russell, "and at the same time Verstappen was there with Josef Kaufmann Racing, I think. We were in talks with Fortec, but we decided to sign with Prema."

When it's pointed out what a mega line-up that would have been alongside Leclerc, Russell laughs: "In hindsight that could have worked out better for me than Koiranen. That [the late Prema split] put us in the shit a little bit, and three weeks before the first race I didn't have a deal. We took the gamble on Koiranen."
Autosport reminds Dutton of an awards evening over the 2013-14 winter when, asked about Russell, he said: "We've got someone even better - a lad from Monaco..."
"It was really quite a late deal," recalls Dutton. "He missed most of the winter-test programme. But you just knew he was the real deal. In and out of the car he knew what he wanted. In lots of ways he reminded us of Verstappen when we tested him."
Young confirms that the sum total of Leclerc's pre-season mileage was four days at Aragon, and two at Barcelona, before going straight into the pre-weekend test for the Imola opener.
"The first three race weekends his experience was a bit low," says Young, "but as soon as he got on the podium he was there every weekend.

Leclerc went on to finish runner-up to the flying - and experienced - Nyck de Vries in the ALPS points, with two race wins at Monza under his belt, but perhaps the more impressive performances came in his three 'wildcard' outings in the Eurocup. The first was at Spa, one week before the Belgian track's ALPS round.
"He was 30th in qualifying at the Eurocup," says Dutton. "We changed everything - we couldn't understand what the hell was going on. One week later he qualified third for ALPS. That was really, really special."
In his next Eurocup outing, Leclerc took a fifth and a second at the Nurburgring, and in his final one he took a brace of seconds at the Hungaroring.
"I was looking after Matt Parry and Jack Aitken in Eurocup," says long-time Fortec driver coach Matt Howson. "I'd heard [Leclerc] was something maybe a bit special, but you hear that all the time, and wait until you see it yourself.
"Usually you understand the driving style straight away - what's good, what's bad - and the thing with Charles is it didn't matter whether there was understeer or oversteer, he seemed to deliver a lap time."
The cerebral approach of Leclerc and engineer Young frustrated Howson at the Nurburgring.
"He'd never seen the place, and there were only two 45-minute [test] sessions, and furthermore Martin was determined to try things on the car," says Howson.
"I said, 'Don't do it, leave him out'. He was last in the second session, and then he was P3 on the grid for the second race - that's unheard of in Eurocup [for a newcomer]. Renault is a very finicky formula, and it all has to come together to deliver results, but Charles seemed impervious to everything.
"Based on that first year, I knew he was a little bit special. Whenever he was tested in Eurocup, he defied his experience. That's a marker - that you can break all the accepted rules."
Talking about that Nurburgring episode, Young says: "That literally sums up Charles Leclerc. That year we were struggling in Eurocup, and I said I'd come in with Charles and we'd do some testing. Going into qualifying he'd never run new tyres, but he went from last to the front. Nothing ever fazed him."
In Young's view, he also compared favourably to Lando Norris, who tested FRenault cars with Fortec in 2014 before his first steps into single-seaters: "I worked with Lando towards the end of the year, and Lando eventually got to the same point [as Leclerc] but needed a lot of testing, but Charles could just get in and drive. It was second nature to him."
Russell took a distant fourth in the ALPS standings, although he did claim the 2014 BRDC F4 title.
"With Nyck winning the championship it didn't make any sense to me, but I think at the time there were a few dodgy chassis around," he says. "When I tested Nyck's car it was extremely different in terms of characteristics. I wasted a season there, but it was character-building."
He also suffered from chicken pox that caused him to miss the Monza round, where Leclerc took his two wins.
"I didn't think it affected me at the time, but I struggled a bit for no reason in the following few F4 races," says Russell. "It was quite severe - I've still got some bad scars. I put my family off their dinner a few times!"
But Russell trumped Leclerc by joining Tech 1 Racing for the final Eurocup round at Jerez as a wildcard - and winning: "I got my self-confidence back a bit, jumped in that car and won."
Both Russell and Leclerc had initially targeted a full season in Eurocup in 2015, but such were their reputations by the end of '14 that each went to the Formula 3 European Championship, Russell with Carlin, and Leclerc with Van Amersfoort Racing.
Fortec tried to hang on to Leclerc for F3. "We tried so hard to get him for F3, but we lost him to VAR," says Dutton. "We did some tests with him in the F3 car and he was straight on the pace. At Silverstone he was quickest of everybody there, and then we went to Valencia with him and we had a nightmare with mechanical issues. I think that didn't do us any good."
All who worked or raced with Leclerc agree about his qualities as a man.
"Of all the drivers in F1 who've come through us, Charles is the one who gets [guest] passes for the British Grand Prix," says Dutton. "He had Martin [Young] and Jamie [Dye] there this year the whole weekend, in Sauber hospitality. He's a proper guy."
"I still speak to Charles every week or so on various topics," adds Young, who attended Leclerc's initial grand prix free practice outings in 2016. "He's still exactly the same person."
Barnicoat, who is one of the drivers for the McLaren hot laps at F1 events, bumps into Leclerc regularly.
"When we raced against each other in Renault there was quite a lot of rivalry from what we'd had in karting," says the Briton, who added three 'wildcard' ALPS outings as direct team-mate to Leclerc to his title-winning NEC campaign.
"But it would have been nice to get more direct comparisons. In 2013, when we were in karting, I went to the grand prix with him in Monaco and stayed on his uncle's boat, and had a really good time. We spent a lot of time together, and although we were rivals we helped each other out. He was a good friend of mine and still is."
Leclerc is also resilient. "Jules Bianchi came to the Hungaroring Eurocup round to mentor him," says Howson, "and I understood then how close they were. After that incident [for Bianchi] and his father [who died in mid-2017], he's probably been tested off track more than anyone else, but it's not bled over into anything on track.
"He's incredibly mature. He's relatively introverted - he doesn't come in and make lots of noise, but he's polite, considerate and always looks you in the eye when he talks to you. It doesn't matter whether he's got loads of cameras on him, he'll always come over for a chat."
Russell, meanwhile, is "100%" sure that Leclerc will flourish at Ferrari.
"Charles is one of a handful of others I put in the best-of-the-best group," he says. "In my opinion he absolutely deserves his chance at Ferrari. He's got the speed and the talent, and I'm excited to see how he fares next year. I've no doubt that he will be competitive."

Piero Ferrari about Charles in Un Hiver à Maranello
Journalist: "Your favourite driver right now, who is it?"
Piero: "Our Leclerc. He just renewed the contract and he's a guy with a lot of skills. And I think that he was a promise and the promise was confirmed. And now he needs to win with a lot of continuity and you want him the satisfaction and Ferrari too.
I remembered that we were watching his races in F2 with the late Sergio Marchionne, so I followed him since a lot of years."

And Ford stepping into the Tesla charging world opened the floodgates. GM only took a few weeks to join in as well. Stellantis is undoubtedly going to do the same. It’s unlikely that any manufacturer that sells cars in North America will resist, and NACS will be the only choice for most new cars in 2024 and 2025. VW and its sub-brands might resist awhile, because they are building inferior charging stations in a patchy network with their DieselGate-mandated Electrify America sub-brand, but like other charging competitors, they are now officially on life support(..)
P.S. Tesla will win the competition precisely for this reason! Read the quote: "Other manufacturers’ response? Nada. Zip. Bupkiss. And so time wound on, and other manufacturers wounded themselves constantly in their race to do as little as possible with the global transformation to electrical vehicles. “Short range, sluggish, expensive, compliance EVs? Sure, we’ll build them for the idiots in California, but we hope they don’t buy them.” That’s a paraphrase of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne’s 2014 public statements about the electric version of the Fiat 500, by the way. Note that Fiat Chrysler has now morphed into Stellantis, a name only a bunch of marketing bros who are late for martinis could possibly have picked or loved, compromising between Josh’ preference of Stellar and Chad’s strongly promoted Atlantis. Shove them together, get a bad name, go for martinis. There’s a funny movie starring Matt Damon and John Hamm in there somewhere(..)
Of course, the potential buyers of the latest electric cars were smart enough and deciphered the policy of the legacy OEMs and, voting with money, simply buy a Tesla...Also in Latvia, buyers of new and slightly used premium segment cars are increasingly choosing Tesla... and are increasingly ignoring legacy automakers...

Fiat exercises option to buy additional 3.3% of Chrysler shares
Fiat today exercised an option to raise its stake in Chrysler by 3.3 percent. The move is part of CEO Sergio Marchionne’s step-by-step purchases intended to lead to full control of Chrysler and the creation of a merged company that would be able to compete better with industry leaders Toyota, General Motors and Volkswagen. Fiat has been exercising options since mid-2012 to buy holdings of about…

Fare la differenza Sergio Marchionne l’ha fatta davvero la differenza: non solo in termini di numeri, di deal chiusi a suo vantaggio o di bilanci in positivo, ma nell’eredità che ha lasciato a tutti quelli che ambiscono a diventare manager e a portare benefici sociali in questa economia globalizzata. Sergio quando incontrava un candidato faceva sempre due domande: “Qual è stato il tuo più grande successo e in cosa fai veramente schifo? Con la risposta alla prima domanda riesci a farti una buona idea di come la persona definisca il concetto di successo nella vita, e nella stragrande maggioranza dei casi senti delle cose veramente senza alcun senso. Con la seconda ti rendi conto del livello di onestà di chi hai davanti.” You have to make a bloody difference “Se questo è il tuo obiettivo primario, allora sei a posto. Poi i soldi arriveranno, non dovrai preoccuparti di cercare spiccioli per comprare un hamburger” Ecco, Marchionne mi ha insegnato ad essere pronta, sempre e comunque. Perché oggi più che mai abbiamo il dovere di fare la differenza e per farla ci vengono concesse solo poche opportunità. Ma ci vuole coraggio e pazienza per arrivare preparati nel momento in cui le incrociamo.

“I think that if you don't do the full analysis of what the origin of the electrical power is, where it comes from, how you get batteries into these cars, what the cost is in terms of CO2 and the environment, I think the analysis that we are going to save the planet with electric cars is nonsense”.
-Sergio Marchionne.

La grandi auto: Ferrari Portofino
Una Ferrari che, pur essendo recente, ha un suo fascino vintage… La Portofino, auto sportiva gran turismo prodotta dalla Ferrari, ha un nome che deriva dalla storica località turistica ligure di Portofino e succede alla precedente Grand Tourer V8 della società, nota come Ferrari California. Presentata dalla Ferrari al Salone di Francoforte nel 2017, la Portofino venne svelata sulla Riviera Ligure nel borgo di Portofino nelle due esclusive serate del 7 e 8 settembre 2017, a cui erano presenti Piero Ferrari, Sergio Marchionne, Sebastian Vettel e Giancarlo Fisichella, e ha avuto il suo debutto a Maranello il 9 e 10 settembre 2017 durante la celebrazione del 70° anniversario della Ferrari. La Portofino è stata in seguito presentata in Asia alla fine del 2017, in Giappone il veicolo è stato inizialmente presentato in anteprima privata a novembre, prima del debutto ufficiale a febbraio 2018. I Ad Hong Kong, la Portofino fu lanciata alla fine di marzo 2018, per la terza volta nella storia della Ferrari a lanciare una nuova vettura nell’Hong Kong’s Peninsula Hotel. Il motore della Portofino è un Ferrari F154BE biturbo V8 da 3.855 cc, lo stesso della Ferrari GTC4Lusso T, ma ha una potenza leggermente inferiore di 441 kW, infattile modifiche al motore includono un aumento della pressione del 10% nella camera di combustione, bielle e pistoni rivisti e un singolo collettore di scarico fuso. La Portofino conserva la trasmissione a doppia frizione a 7 marce del modello predecessore, ma dispone di un nuovo software per consentire cambi di marcia più rapidi, il sistema di scarico è stato ottimizzato per dare all’auto una nota sonora miglior, pur mantenendo la sua natura da gran turismo, con una valvola di bypass elettrica regolabile che monitora il suono del motore in base alle condizioni di guida. Inoltre l’auto può accelerare da 0 a 100 km in 3,5 secondi e da 0 a 200 km in 10,8 secondi e può raggiungere una velocità massima di 320 km/h. Il 9 luglio 2018, la Ferrari ricevette il Red Dot “Best of the Best” per il design innovativo della Portofino, dove la giuria internazionale disse che la nuova auto “incarna un progresso evolutivo impressionante” e “affascina con un linguaggio di design entusiasmante”, con l’eleganza del veicolo “ulteriormente sottolineata dalla qualità senza compromessi nei materiali e nella lavorazione”.

Science Gateway, il nuovo centro multiculturale del Cern

Apre Science Gateway, un polo per diffondere la scienza. Al Cern disegnato da Renzo Piano, con contributo di Stellantis. Apre al Cern l'iconico Science Gateway, il nuovo centro per l'educazione scientifica e la cultura. Un complesso su una superficie complessiva di 8.000 metri quadrati con un ponte lungo 210 metri sospeso a 6 metri dal suolo che collega gli edifici su entrambi i lati della strada, un bosco di 400 alberi e una piazza. Il progetto è dell'architetto Renzo Piano ed è stato finanziato grazie a donazioni esterne, con Stellantis, attraverso la Stellantis Foundation, come maggiore sostenitore con 45 milioni di euro sui 100 complessivi.

Tra gli altri figurano anche Lego, Rolex, la Fondazione Carla Fendi e la Solvay. L'auditorium da 900 posti, modulare e configurabile secondo le esigenze, è dedicato a Sergio Marchionne, l'amministratore delegato di Fca scomparso cinque anni fa. All'inaugurazione hanno partecipato il presidente della Confederazione Svizzera Alain Berset, i ministri europei dell'Università e della ricerca tra cui quella italiana Anna Maria Bernini, le autorità degli Stati membri e associati del Cern, i donatori e i partner. Presenti anche gli ex premier Enrico Letta e Mario Monti. La nuova struttura sarà aperta da oggi 8 ottobre, dal martedì alla domenica, ai visitatori di tutto il mondo, a partire dai cinque anni di età. "Per me è un sogno che è diventato realtà e sono profondamente grata a tutte le persone che hanno contribuito al progetto, a partire dai nostri generosi donatori" ha detto la direttrice del Cern Fabiola Gianotti. L'obiettivo è passare da 150.000 visitatori all'anno fino a un massimo di mezzo milione. "Riusciremo ad accontentare tante persone che non sono riuscite a venire al Cern. Le guide continueranno a essere i nostri scienziati perché il pubblico ama incontrare e dialogare con le persone che lavorano qui. Una novità è che i laboratori per i bambini cominceranno dall'età di 5 anni, mentre oggi si parte dai 16 anni" spiega Gianotti. "Non è un museo, non è una scuola, non è un centro di ricerca, ma è un po' di tutte queste cose. È Un ponte sia in senso fisico sia metaforico" sottolinea Renzo Piano. Read the full article

Maserati Levante 2016 - Le premier SUV de la marque au tridents - Photos

Maserati Levante 2016 supplante le Cayenne en performances pures.
Le Maserati Levante est un SUV produit par le constructeur italien Maserati en 2016. Il est dérivé du concept Kubang dévoilé au Salon de Francfort 2011. Un croquis a d'abord été présenté au salon de Francfort 2015, avant d'être officiellement présenté au salon de Genève 2016.




Avec le Levante, Maserati complète enfin sa gamme. Grâce à l'arrivée de ce nouveau SUV, promis depuis plusieurs années, le constructeur au Trident juge qu'il couvre désormais tous les segments du marché du luxe automobile. Désormais, les nouveaux modèles de la marque de Modène auront donc pour rôle de remplacer une génération périmée. Le Levante achève donc le programme de développement de la gamme Maserati, voulu par Sergio Marchionne pour atteindre un objectif de 75.000 ventes annuelles à l'horizon 2018. L'ambiance intérieure raffinée est proche de la Ghibli. Une finition Sport avec le cuir rouge ou avec la version Luxury Zegna. Une sellerie mixte cuir et soie inclut et facturé le prix d'une citadine. Si le cuir et la suspension pneumatique sont de série, il faudra continuer à mettre la main au portefeuille pour les palettes au volant (302 €), la climatisation quatre zones (1310 €), les nombreuses assistances à la conduite intégrées dans des packs et le système de navigation (2168 €) piloté depuis l'écran tactile ou une molette rotative. Mais la Levante reste à l'écart des systèmes ouvrant la voie à la conduite autonome. Deux grands gabarits accueillent confortablement les places arrière. Doté d'un seuil de chargement bas, le coffre de 580 litres conforte la vocation familiale du Levante. Plus forte que le Cayenne À puissance équivalente (essence et diesel), la Levante supplante le Cayenne en performances pures. Le «S» vous emmène à un rythme très soutenu et parfaitement secondé par une suspension pilotée à ressorts pneumatiques. Ainsi qu'un différentiel arrière à glissement limité. Faute de maintien latéral suffisant, les passagers devront parfois se cramponner dans les virages que ce SUV aborde avec l'avidité d'une GT. L'agilité stupéfiante pour un véhicule de plus de 2 tonnes repose sur un châssis de propulsion. En cas de besoin, il est capable de transférer jusqu'à 50 % du couple aux roues avant. Le confort perd de sa superbe lorsque la Levante affronte des chaussées dégradées. Et le paramétrage de la direction, surtout sur la S, perturbe la lecture des réactions du châssis. Grâce à sa suspension autorisant une variation de la garde au sol sur six niveaux et sur une amplitude de 85 mm. Ainsi à ses deux modes offroad et au contrôle de descente, le Levante ne craint pas d'emprunter les chemins creux. On doute que les propriétaires se risquent à rayer la belle carrosserie, mais l'essentiel est de savoir que les conducteurs peuvent le faire. Cela change tout. Site officiel BMW

Concentrazione di capitale, oligopoli, pressione su tutta la catena, spostamento della competitività sulla riduzione dei costi, incluse le retribuzioni, riduzione della competitività, acquisizioni, ulteriore concentrazione di capitali...
E passi a frignare che la concorrenza estera è competitiva sui salari... a scoprire che è competitiva sulla tecnologia.
Solo che c'è gente che frigna da ville da centinaia di milioni e gente che si trova per la strada.
Nel 2004 la FIAT affrontò una grave crisi economica da cui si risollevò grazie alla strategia messa a punto dall’amministratore delegato Sergio Marchionne, che puntò su modelli economicamente più sostenibili e redditizi.
Leggasi inculare più forte i lavoratori e finanziarizzare l'azienda.
Chiaramente ogni volta che si minacciava di chiudere uno stabilimento si chiedevano soldi al pubblico e ogni volta che si prometteva di aprirne uno si chiedevano soldi al pubblico.
Intanto al governo abbiamo quelli dell'autarchia (ovvero no concorrenza).
Mi chiedo che fine abbiano fatto i capitani d'industria delle aziende saltate per aria... non quelle da 4 dipendenti, ma quella da 100. Intanto si è già a chiedere nuovi soldi al pubblico che però non deve avere quote di controllo, ma mettere i soldi a babbo morto o al limite rimanere per essere il continuo fornitore di linfa per gli azionisti privati.
Da Torinese di adozione, ex fornitrice di FCA che ha visto nascere lo stabilimento AGAP che ora stanno svendendo... questo articolo mi fa riflettere.
Già in tempi non sospetti, qualche anno fa, mi sono resa conto che il particolare ramo della grossa azienda in cui lavoravo aveva una dipendenza patologica da FCA, che era IL cliente, quello che pagava lo stipendio a tutti noi di quella Business Unit, gli altri erano briciole. E perfino io, nella mia giovane ingenuità, mi sono resa conto di quanto questo costituisse un enorme rischio, perché i rubinetti potevano chiudersi in qualsiasi momento e per qualsiasi motivo. Ho cambiato lavoro e azienda, per questo e altri motivi, e ora lavoro in un'azienda molto più solida e diversificata che mi dà più tranqullità per il futuro.
Tutto ciò per dire: se l'ho capito io che sopravvivere solo grazie a FCA non era una garanzia, e che i tempi di magra erano in arrivo, com'è possibile che tutte 'ste aziende non abbiano in questi anni fatto nulla per diversificare in qualche modo il business? Trovando altri clienti, diversificando i prodotti sfruttando il know-how, ingegnandosi un po' per non andare incontro a una inevitabile fine...
Torino per anni ha contato così tanto solo su FCA che pare che la vena imprenditoriale e ingegnosa della città si sia molto inaridita, ma forse questo strappo potrebbe dare una botta di vita e dare i natali a nuove realtà più innovative e flessibili. Invece di continuare a pregare i mangia-baguette di darci le briciole forse investire su questo potrebbe non essere una brutta idea.
