Today in Chontent: February 12th (2018)

Charles gets interviewed by Andrea Noviello of warmup-f1.fr about his upcoming rookie F1 season.

source: warmup-f1.fr series: f1, 2018

Established by Sauber after his breathtaking 2017 campaign, Charles Leclerc is excited to finally be able to start his first season at the wheel of a Formula 1 car.

His 2017 season was close to perfection. By conquering with disconcerting superiority seven victories, eight pole positions, ten podiums and four fastest laps last year in the antechamber of Formula 1, Charles Leclerc not only positioned himself as one of the greatest hopes of tomorrow, but above all won his ticket to the premier category of motorsport. Recruited by Sauber as part of the partnership between the Swiss team and Alfa Romeo, the figurehead of the Ferrari Driver Academy will have the difficult task of meeting the immense expectations generated by his consecutive double crowning in GP3 and Formula 2. But while waiting to finally be able to demonstrate the full extent of his talent aboard an F1 car, the Monegasque took advantage of these long weeks of break to perfect his physical condition and begin his process of discovering the Hinwil facilities. Delighted to be able to collaborate again with his former boss at ART GP Frédéric Vasseur, the Sauber driver is resolutely confident before tackling his first season at the highest level. Aware of the difficulties that await him, Nicolas Todt's protégé nevertheless wants to be ambitious. Convinced of being able to put his best foot forward if he remains focused on his own work, Leclerc intends to confirm in 2018 all the good things that the paddock thinks of him.

The Formula 1 world championship will resume on March 25 at Albert Park in Australia. How do you feel a little over a month before your big debut in the premier category?

Very good. I've dreamed of it since I was little! To think that I am going to start my first season in Formula 1 is just incredible. But I must not forget to concentrate on the work I will have to do in F1. 2018 will be a pivotal year in my career. So I'm actively preparing physically to be ready the day I get into the new car.

The winter break is generally a rather difficult period for a pilot, because it consists almost exclusively of heavy and intensive physical preparation. How do you manage to fill the lack of management?

It is extremely difficult, if not almost impossible, for a pilot to make up for the lack of running. Of course it has absolutely nothing to do with F1, but I'm still going to try to go and drive a kart a little these days just to get some sensations and have fun. I spend the majority of my time perfecting my physical condition so that I can be in good shape for the first tests in Barcelona. The desire to drive a single-seater, unfortunately, cannot be satisfied for a large part of the winter. Afterwards, everyone is in the same boat. You just have to accept it and prepare as best as possible for the winter tests.

Starting out in Formula 1 is always a crucial step in a driver's life. In addition to arriving in a completely different world from the one you have encountered in the past in promotional formulas, are you aware of reaching the biggest milestone in your career in motorsport?

Completely. F1 is nothing like the minor categories. Going from karting to single-seaters is already a big step. Moving up to Formula 1 undoubtedly represents the second biggest step in a driver's life. The engines were all identical within the promotion formulas I went through. So the goal came down to doing the best job possible in the car. If we met this condition, we knew full well that the results would follow.

In F1, on the other hand, the driver is much more dependent on the performance of his machine...

Yes. It's not quite the same thing in F1, because there is a lot of difference in performance between the cars. The procedures to follow are also much more numerous than in the small categories. F1 is really a big step to take, but above all I have to concentrate on the work I will have to do in the single-seater in order to bring the best possible result home. I will also focus on developing the car as quickly and efficiently as possible throughout the season.

For the first time since you started karting, you will approach a season knowing that you will not have the means to win on a regular basis. How do we mentally prepare ourselves to settle for runners-up when, like you, we have collected titles in the lower categories?

Above all, I will seek to deliver the best possible work in the car. The end result won't matter in the end. The most important thing for me will be to stay focused on my job while trying to make the car progress as quickly as possible. F1 is undoubtedly a completely different world to what I have experienced in the past. So I'm definitely going to have to go through a little period of adaptation. But to be able to do effective work in the premier category, the key will be to concentrate on what I have to do and only on that.

You will team up with Marcus Ericsson in 2018, a driver who certainly did well last year alongside Wehrlein, but who does not necessarily enjoy a very big reputation inside the paddock. To hope to impress F1, won't you somehow be obliged to "crush it" like you outclassed Formula 2 last year?

Marcus has a lot of experience in F1. So I'm already going to try to learn alongside him. However, as I mentioned previously, my main goal is to produce the best job possible while remaining focused solely on myself. This is something I learned from my previous seasons in single-seaters. If I focus on my work and do it well, then I should be able to demonstrate what I'm worth. I prefer not to distract myself by looking at others. I just make sure I give my best. We will then see what results I will be able to obtain this season.

Sauber remains in four very difficult seasons in Formula 1. In addition to its recurring financial problems, the Swiss team has also suffered greatly on a sporting level since three times out of four it finished the championship in tenth place. Did these chronic difficulties scare you when joining the Swiss team?

No, on the contrary I am very confident. With “Fred” (Vasseur) at the helm, the team is truly in good hands. I know him very well and I love the way he works. A team manager must work in this way to help the team progress. We should also not neglect the impact of the return of Alfa Romeo. So yes, until we put the car on the ground, it will be difficult to predict anything. Our main mission will be to develop the car as quickly as possible throughout the year.

"Now it's certain: This is how Valtteri Bottas' career will continue" Translated from Finnish:

Heikki Kulta, Iltasanomat 13.9.2023

VALTTERI BOTTAS will continue in Hinwil, Switzerland, in the Swiss team with its headquarters at the factory for the third season in 2024 as well.

The Finnish driver thus completes his original 2+1 year option contract.

There will be no public announcement about Bottas's, 34, finished extension.

"There is nothing to announce about next year. I have a ticket for next year, the contract is already fixed. At some point, we'll start talking from there", Bottas confirms in a phone interview with Sanoma.

This season, the team bearing the name Alfa Romeo will change its name next season.

"Alfa Romeo is leaving, but there is no name yet (for the new team). It could be Sauber, but of course it also depends on the sponsors, if a bigger company wants to be our title sponsor," Bottas says.

The engine remains a Ferrari. Hopes are then focused on the new car built by the Hinwil factory, which has strengthened its staff.

Bottas started a year and a half ago at Alfa Romeo, he made a promising start.

In the first nine races, he finished in the points seven times, and despite the starting difficulties that marked the end of the season, there were still two more points.

In the current season, 14 race weekends have now been run.

For Alfa Romeo, the World Series has offered mostly disappointments throughout. At the team's home race in Monza, Bottas still managed to score one additional point for the Swiss team.

Bottas has collected six points this season, the team's other driver Zhou Guanyu has four points.

"Monza weekend was nice. It was nice to get even one point. That was better than nothing," Bottas states.

"But in general, this has not been an easy season. It hasn't been as fast as it should have been. Performance is needed if you want to score points more often," Bottas ponders.

Is it a surprise that your main opponents are now Haas and Williams, when last year you struggled in the middle group and left behind Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo in the Drivers' Championship?

"Of course, this is such an unexpected surprise. Of course, the goal was not to fight in these places and with those teams. We clearly expected better. But this is the situation now and we have to focus on the future – and of course also on next year's car."

Bottas assures that his motivation is good.

"You just have to focus on the development work and press forward with all your might."

"By the end of the week, we will receive a significant upgrade package to Singapore. If it works well, I think we can still fight for seventh place in the manufacturers' championship." --

The New Sauber is here - And it is green!

Sauber, or the Stake F1 Team, how it is called now, presented the new C44 for the 2024 season. The most obvious is the new color. It's now very green and black (reminds me on the good old Grave Digger from Monster Jam).

The team from Hinwil in Switzerland switched from the Pushrod suspension to a Pullrod one, this should benefit the aerodynamical efficiency and is used by Red Bull and McLaren too.

Speaking of McLaren, the C44 is the first Sauber that is build under the influence of their new technical director, James Key, who was working for McLaren in the past. I personally think Key could be the key to get better, I think he is one of the better ones in F1.

The team announced many updates for the first races of the season and want to stay competitive in the development race. The car will have it's first rollout this friday in Barcelona. The drivers are the same as last year, Valtteri Bottas and Guanyu Zhou, the reserve drivers are Theo Pourchaire and Zane Maloney.

Der RBB berichtete heute zwischenzeitlich von einer Fläche von rund 150 ha, die betroffen sei.

Ich selber habe (schon im März) für den 1. Juli einen Besuch dort geplant.

Wer sehen will, was da au8er abgebrannten Waldflächen noch alles rumsteht, kann sich mehr z.B. unter

Google Bilder: altes lager jüterbog lost places

ansehen. Und das ist nur der Ort, wo ich hinwill. Es gibt noch viel mehr.

Übrigens ist das das Gelände, was in den 90ern als Alternative zum BER im Gespräch war. Abgelehnt wurde es, weil es "so weit weg von Berlin" liegt. An die Munition im Boden und andere Hinterlassenschaften von Wehrmacht und russischen Streitkräften hatte in den 90ern wohl noch niemand gedacht.

Tagebucheintrag.

03.11.2023 (Chiang Mai The Lion Hotel)

Als ich heute Morgen um 07:00 Uhr aufstand, packte ich fix meine Sachen, checkte aus und ging zu dem Hotel, in dem ich dummerweise ein Zimmer bezahlt hatte, ohne darin gewohnt zu haben. Ich checkte dort auch aus, ohne das Zimmer auch nur betreten zu haben, und fuhr los, um mir eine Bleibe für 2 Nächte zu suchen, die mir dieses verdammte Formular TM-30 ausfüllt.

Nachdem ich in einem Hostel und vier Hotels war, hatte ich beim fünften Hotel Glück. Nach langem Bitten und Betteln füllten sie mir noch vor dem Check-in das Formular aus, sodass ich mich um halb 9 auf den Weg machen konnte, um mein Visum zu verlängern.

In der Behörde hieß es dann erstmal, hier und da etwas ausfüllen, eine Nummer ziehen und warten. Als ich dran war, ging ich vor, und man überprüfte meine Unterlagen. Als alles geprüft war, gab man mir eine weitere Nummer und sagte: "You can go, and come back in the afternoon."

Ich war mir erst unsicher, denn meine Nummer war 046/10, also Nummer 46 am Schalter 10. Ich musste dafür in ein anderes Gebäude gehen, schaute kurz rein und sah auf einer Tafel, dass gerade die Nummer 009/10 dran war. Ich wartete 10 Minuten, um zu verstehen, wie lange eine Nummer braucht. Schalter 10 war für Touristen, die Nummern dauerten ewig. Also wusste ich, warum ich erst am Nachmittag wieder auftauchen sollte.

Ich fuhr mit dem Roller zum Verleihhaus und gab ihn zurück. Ließ mich von einem Taxi via Grab für 90 THB ca. 4 km weiterfahren und holte meinen am Tag zuvor ausgesuchten Roller ab. Gestern war ein junger Mann da und hatte mir einen Roller gezeigt. Heute war seine Mutter da, eine ganz nette, sympathische Frau. Ich sagte ihr, wo ich hinwill, und sie schaute mich mit großen Augen an. Denn ja, ich will mit dem Roller einige hundert Kilometer reißen. Sie sagte mir, ich solle auf dem Weg nach Pai nach jeder Stunde eine Pause machen, damit der Motor nicht überhitzt, weil es so steil ist. Ich sagte ihr, dass ich ein langsamer Reisender bin und einige Zwischenstopps mit Übernachtungen machen werde. Daraufhin war sie beruhigt. Sie sagte auch, ich solle auf mich aufpassen. Wenn etwas am Roller kaputt ist, können wir das alles klären, aber wenn ich kaputt bin, bin ich kaputt.

Ich zahlte 4200 THB, das sind so ca. 110-120 Euro, für die Miete für 3 Wochen. Und 3000 THB Kaution. Als ich den Roller hatte, fuhr ich nochmal bei der Einwanderungsbehörde vorbei und schaute, welche Nummer dran war. Es war die 40, aber 5 Minuten nach meiner Ankunft machten sie eine Stunde Pause. Also ging ich im Einkaufszentrum um die Ecke fix etwas essen bei einem Vietnamesen.

Und mein Gott, ich will nicht wissen, was passiert, wenn man scharfes Essen bestellt. Sie kommen schon immer an und fragen, ob ich es scharf möchte, und ich sage immer auf keinen Fall. Und trotzdem verbrenne ich mir meine Lippen, bekomme eine laufende Nase und habe dann immer Bock auf einen Liter kalte Milch.

Nach dem Essen ging ich wieder rüber, Nummer 43 war dran. Nach einiger Zeit wurde ich aufgerufen, und dann ging es recht schnell. 1900 THB musste ich bezahlen, ein kleines Foto machen, 10 Minuten warten, und der Stempel war im Pass. ENDLICH!!

Ich fuhr dann in mein Hotel, holte mir die Schlüsselkarte ab, duschte und machte mich mit dem Motorrad auf den Weg einfach etwas in die Natur. Nach meiner Bikerunde holte ich mir ein paar Kleinigkeiten bei einem 7/11 und machte mich auf mein Zimmer.

Nach einer zweiten Dusche, etwas Arbeit am PC und dem Essen und Trinken dann endlich, gute Nacht.

i believe the Seidl->Sauber move has been in the works for a while; apparently Brown knew Seidl was going to be leaving at the end of his contract as MCL TP at the end of 2025 for whichever VW group company made a works team. But, because of Ferrari imploding and Audi reportedly not wanting Vasseur, Freddy V just proposed himself to Ferrari and that accelerated the timeline for Seidl after the vacancy was left at Sauber.

Seidl also said it was a personal decision so it likely has something to do with the fact that his wife and kids are still located in Germany. he'll be able to spend more time with them splitting his time between the new German Audi campus and Hinwil than he would've been able to staying in Woking.

so essentially MCL/Brown always knew Seidl was eventually going to leave to return to the VW group, but Ferrari being a clown show just sped up the timeline. Stella has probably been preparing to take over from Seidl for a while now, which will leave stability and good foundations for the team. Seidl did his job at MCL in correcting the management cluster fuck and laying down the foundations for growth.

Seidl has a big task at Hinwil; he's essentially got a promotion moving from TP at MCL to the full shebang of CEO of the Sauber group. he won't be able to rely on Brown to be the big media personality anymore, nor will he be able to just hide away with his head down on the technical stuff. dude's going to have a whole different kind of media circus on his back now.

Anon, this is very well explained and all but an ungodly noise left my body as soon as I read the words "Freddy V" instead of Vasseur 😂

Alfa Romeo shows off special tweaked livery for Monza

Alfa Romeo shows off special, tweaked livery for Monza By Balazs Szabo on 31 Aug 2023, 10:02 Just a day before action gets underway at the Italian Grand Prix, the Sauber-run Alfa Romeo team has unveiled a special, tweaked one-off livery for the Monza F1 race to celebrate the Alfa 33 Stradale. The Hinwil-based outfit will run a striking livery at Monza, paying tribute to the launch of Alfa Romeo’s latest fuoriserie car, the new 33 Stradale. Featuring the gold accents of the new 33 Stradale – themselves a nod to its illustrious namesake, an icon of the 1960s and one of the most legendary cars of Alfa Romeo’s history – and the Italian flag’s tricolore on a field of black, the livery to be used in Monza will be one that will set fans’ hearts racing. The livery was unveiled by Alfa Romeo drivers Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu, during a special event at the Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese, near Milan, to mark the launch of the new 33 Stradale. The 33 Stradale will be the centre of attention in Monza as well, with the team's two drivers unveiling the car in the team’s garage at the Italian Grand Prix on Thursday, 56 years to the day since the unveiling of the original 33 Stradale in the same location. Team Representative Alessandro Alunni Bravi commented : “As we approach our home race in Monza, it’s a pleasure to unveil this incredible livery, a true tribute not only to the 33 Stradale, but to Alfa Romeo as a whole and to the country it hails from, Italy. This livery is probably one of the most beautiful we’ve ever had on a car, and to be able to showcase it in front of our home crowd – including hundreds of our team members from Hinwil on the grandstands – is an honour for all of us. "Personally, I am excited by the references to the 33 Stradale: the original model from 1967 was an iconic car that influenced style and design for a generation and beyond, and its latest incarnation embodies all this heritage while also setting the path to the future of Alfa Romeo.” Commenting on the new livery, Alfa Romeo CEO Jean Philippe Imparato added : “With the new 33 Stradale, we wanted to create something that lived up to our past, to serve the Alfa Romeo brand and to make the Alfisti fandom proud. Such a result could only have been achieved thanks to the expertise, hard work and passion of our team, with the support of management who have the clear ambition to contribute to writing chapters in the brand’s future, in full respect of its unique history. "This is the brand’s first fuoriserie (custom-built) car since 1969, and I promise it won’t be the last. Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake’s tribute livery embodies the spirit, the passion and the vision we have put in the 33 Stradale: it is pure, classic sportiness, and it combines looks with performance. I cannot wait to see it on track this weekend.” via F1Technical.net . Motorsport news https://www.f1technical.net/news/
