BARBARA ROBERTS ★ DTN SERIES

series’ masterlist

An old chapter is reopened, that force and distinction that drove Barbara Roberts to the top of F1 for two consecutive years, back home. Malibu Racing is a new temple, the extension of a legacy.

Barbara Roberts, Team Principal and CEO of Malibu Racing F1 Team has her origins tied to history books. A two-time world champion whose on-track abilities couldn’t be ignored. A fierce competitor who came back for more.

At the young age of four, Barbara began chasing the excitement behind the wheel, observing karting races closely, going home, and developing her talent with each lap of her uncle’s old kart. She found happiness in speed, enjoyed visiting the Phoenix Street Circuit each year, obsessed over the Indy500, and watched Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost challenge each other throughout the years. Suddenly, she began to dream about a hot-pink car, all her notebooks filled with drawings of it. She, as well as her family, then understood that racing was a fire that needed to be fueled.

Roberts made her kart racing debut at the age of eight, and after winning her first race, it was a matter of time before her name was engraved on several US-based kart championship trophies. However, further progress would require expanding horizons, which prompted the Roberts to move across the ocean in 1994, supporting Barbara for what could be a challenging career. 

Europe was fast, she stayed faster. By fourteen her collection of kart titles included national, international, and world championships. Every race and practice aimed for that unattainable perfection, being aware of the judging eyes on each step she took. At 16 years old, Roberts was fearless, deciding to pursue another dream of hers, an engineering career. She used to say that the pressure was a reminder of what was yet to come.

Pieces began to fall into place, Barbara embarked on single-seaters as soon as age allowed it. Her first title in Monoposto Racing Club was followed by titles in Formula BMW ADAC, Formula Renault, and the Formula 3 Euro Series — all consecutive titles. And bound to keep the momentum, she started hunting for a seat in Formula One, closing the deal with BMW Williams in a reserve capacity for 2004 and securing a race seat for the 2005 season. 

Debuting at 21, Barbara spent her year fighting at the midfield in struggling machinery, yet was able to finish 10th in the World Championship, once again pouring ink on paper for what would be BMW Sauber in 2006. An improvement in reliability for her sophomore season placed Roberts on track for her maiden Grand Prix victory in the streets of Monaco, an unbelievable, emotional, and well-remembered drive that holds her in the tracks’ spotlight to this day.

For the 2007 season, Scuderia Ferrari took the bet on two young talents: Barbara Roberts and Kimi Räikkönen, giving both drivers the exact same 3-year-contract and an opportunity to make history. 

The pair held a fiery battle all season, ending in one of the most astonishing title deciders in the sport’s history, where the world championship rested on their number of wins due to a tie in the points. The crown sealed on Räikkönen, but Barbara’s own would arrive that very next year, securing it after 8 wins and 15 total podiums.

In her final year of mastery, Roberts became a double World Champion after a year-long battle against Brawn’s Jenson Button, three points separating them. And despite being contracted to race in 2010, Roberts decided to leave F1 behind at the end of the 2009 season.

After her F1 retirement, Barbara has taken on different roles and challenges throughout the years. In 2011 revealing her retirement's original reason, Roberts announced her new position as CEO of her family’s emblematic automobile manufacturer, Malibu Motors, linking nostalgia with modernity. In 2016, they held the biggest car launch in history, presenting one supercar and seven SUVs which resulted into having six of those as the bestselling cars of the year. In 2017, Malibu Motors became part of the Formula 3 engine programme, making the public think that was her only form of a comeback to motorsport. Yet, one year later, a victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans was waiting for her and former rivals, Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button. And, in for 2019, she begun sponsoring multiple young women across motorsport, mentoring those in the path to Formula One.

Important figures of the sport, old colleagues, and the public, believed Barbara would be back in the car sooner or later, but after fourteen years, she has opted for a different path. A decade-long project becomes reality in 2023, with two hot-pink cars flying on track, resembling Barbie’s old childhood drawings.

Rising Rosberg primed to emerge from old friend's slipstream

Originally written 22 March 2008 by Alan Henry for The Guardian (x)

German's podium finish last week showed he is ready to resume a decade-long rivalry.

It was the most touching moment of the Australian grand prix weekend. Lewis Hamilton was wiping away the perspiration of victory behind the podium when he spotted his old friend Nico Rosberg, similarly flushed after an impressive run to third place, his best finish in formula one.

Suddenly Hamilton leaped forward and gave Rosberg a big hug and the two of them jumped up and down in frantic delight. For a brief moment they were no longer young professionals in their early 20s, racing in big-time formula one, but the young karting drivers they had been a decade earlier.

"It's great to see Nico up here with me for the first time since our karting days," said Hamilton enthusiastically after showering his old rival with champagne. But Hamilton's memory was clearly playing tricks. "I didn't like to say it at the time," said Rosberg, "but he had forgotten the 2004 formula three Bahrain international in which Lewis and I finished first and second. I then went on to compete in GP2 the following season while he did another year in formula three before moving up into GP2 in 2006."

Rosberg has a matchless pedigree. The son of the 1982 world champion Keke Rosberg, only the second driver to take the title at the wheel of a Williams, Nico was born four days after his father won the 1985 US grand prix in Detroit in a Williams-Honda. Nico recalled that he always had a really good relationship with his father, even though Keke could be very critical "although in a constructive way…"

"But my father helped me a lot and didn't intervene when I took the decision to pass up the opportunity to come to study at Imperial College in London for a degree in aerodynamic engineering," he said. "I think he could see that by then I'd made my mind up to pursue my racing career and I realised that I couldn't do both because I'd lose too much momentum if I went to university. So my father didn't say anything and just sat back and let me make my decision for myself. I think in the end he was just pleased that I'd come to a conclusion by myself."

The younger Rosberg started competing in 1996 at the age of 11, winning the Cote d'Azur mini-kart championship. He continued racing karts to the end of 2001 then switched to cars, winning the ADAC formula BMW championship with nine race wins. Many formula one insiders now regard Rosberg as among the most promising emergent stars of what some already call "the Lewis generation".

"Nico [and] probably Sebastian Vettel are the two drivers most likely to get in Hamilton's way to prevent him winning seven straight world championships," said the pundit Martin Brundle, not altogether seriously, in the Sepang paddock yesterday. Yet the point was well made.

After Fernando Alonso left McLaren last season, Rosberg was at the top of their wanted list as a new team-mate for Hamilton. But Frank Williams was not interested, rejecting a substantial offer from McLaren to buy out Rosberg's contract and rewarding the young German driver with an extension to his existing contract to the end of 2010.

"Finishing on the rostrum for the first time is an important milestone in every driver's career," said Rosberg, reflecting on his performance in Melbourne. "It's right up there with your first front-row start, scoring your first championship points and, of course, your first win, which I have still to achieve."

The Williams management consider Rosberg to be a chip off the old block, with many of the qualities that made his father so popular. The team have not won a grand prix since Juan Pablo Montoya triumphed in Brazil in 2004, and Jacques Villeneuve won their last world championship in 1997. "It's probably a bit much to expect Nico to have anything more than an outside chance of winning a race this year," said a team insider, "but Frank has great faith in him."

Rosberg agreed: "We are under no illusions as to where we are in the overall pecking order. To be honest, I don't see this as a launch pad from which we can make a bid for race wins. Not yet, anyway. We can't get over-confident just because we got a podium. The fact is we are still the fourth best team behind McLaren, Ferrari and BMW, so the best place we can finish realistically is seventh.

"That's our reality, as bad as it sounds. So we need to be careful and not be disappointed if we're suddenly running in seventh. And we also need to be careful because the teams behind us are very close - Renault, Toyota, Red Bull. It is not an easy situation."

Cody Ware

I don’t know much about him but from my impressions based on his twitter profile: a weeb, one of those car guys, definitely has a million stickers on his car, maybe even a Miku car wrap. Currently races in the Nascar Cup Series and will be racing the Indy 500 this season. Will drive the 52 entry for Dale Coyne/Rick Ware racing.

Mostecký autodrom potěší i v příštím roce milovníky a příznivce historických závodních vozů rozmanitých kategorií. Už potřetí se podařilo dohodnout s promotéry prestižních evropských okruhových sérií, v nichž svádějí souboje jezdci ve speciálech z dob našich dědů a otců.

Závodní víkend se uskuteční 28. až 30. června 2019. Diváci se současně stanou svědky žhavé novinky, jež zaručuje velmi atraktivní podívanou. V doprovodném programu nebude ani tentokrát chybět vedle řady dalších zajímavostí sraz majitelů historických automobilů a motocyklů a výstava těchto nablýskaných veteránů v areálu polygonu.

„Novinku představíme ještě do konce října, s promotérem ladíme poslední detaily,“ přislíbila obchodní a marketingová ředitelka společnosti AUTODROM MOST Jana Svobodová. Jde podle ní o další dosaženou metu s cílem umožnit domácím fanouškům na živo sledovat kvalitní a vysoce profesionální závodní série, aniž by za nimi museli cestovat do zahraničí.

Účast na červnovém podniku přislíbili vedle zatím nejmenované série promotéři FIA Lurani Trophy, Triumph Competition & British HTGT a HAIGO – touring cars, formulas. Všechny tři série byly v Mostě součástí premiérového víkendu The Most Historic Grand Prix v květnu 2017.

FIA Lurani Trophy sdružuje vozy formule Junior, které vznikly v roce 1958 zásluhou italského hraběte Luraniho, blízkého přítele nejslavnější české závodnice Elišky Junkové. Až do roku 1963 se za volanty těchto vozů střídali jezdci formátu Jima Clarka, Jochena Rindta a Johna Surteese, pozdější mistři světa ve formuli 1. Samotná trofej byla prvním seriálem závodů jednomístných historických vozů (1975) a v roce 1995 se stala šampionátem FIA.

Seriál Triumph Competition & British HTGT vznikl v roce 1993 a zúčastňují se ho sportovní dvousedadlové vozy anglických značek jako Triumph, Morgan a MG, vyrobené v letech 1945 – 1981. Seriál se jezdí na okruzích formule 1 jako je Hockenheim, Spa, Zolder či Zandvoort. Nově k nim tedy přibyl i mostecký autodrom.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

HAIGO (Historische Automobilrennsport Interessen Gemeinschaft Ostdeutschland) je sdružení nadšenců historické závodní automobilové techniky, které pochází východního Německa. Zájmové sdružení vzniklo v roce 2004 na mosteckém autodromu a je složeno ze dvou skupin – jezdců formulových vozů a jezdců cestovních vozů. Hlavní myšlenka vzniku závodní série Haigo byla využít již odložené stroje formule Easter, Mondial a k nim stářím odpovídající konstrukce vozů Žiguli, Lada Samara, Škoda 130 R, BMW, Fordu a dalších. Cestovní vozy i formule absolvují vždy dva oddělené závody.

Autodrom už dříve zveřejnil i termín dalších dvou významných podniků sezony 2019. Jsou jimi evropský šampionát okruhových tahačů Czech Truck Prix o víkendu 31. srpna až 2. září a prestižní mezinárodní šampionát supersportovních vozů ADAC GT Masters. Na úspěšnou letošní dubnovou premiéru v Mostě naváže tentokrát o víkendu 17. až 19. května.

Příspěvek Mostecký autodrom už potřetí přivítá historické formule a jednu skvělou novinku pochází z auto-mania.cz
