Ne dotice ga, samo je glupo...

[El Pocho]

Glupo ili ne donosi korist i jednima i drugima.Ipak je formula 1 biznis,a ja licno smatram da nijedna ekipa do sada nije na pravi nacin iskoristila marketinski potencijal Kimija,kao sto to radi Lotus.Uostalom ne vjerujem da se i Kimi buni,ipak ove razne gluposti pune i njegov dzep,tako da sto da ne.Neko moje misljenje je da je Lotus ovo dobro odradio,i da opcenito imaju jedan strasan PR ili kako se vec kaze,Kimija ne peglaju glupostima,ide na te dogadjaje na koje mora ici,ovo sve drugo pretpostavljam rade uz neki dogovor,jer ponavljam korist je zajednicka,Kimiju najbitnije da on ne mora to raditi ove gluposti kako ih nazivas,a ekipa pa i on licno itekako imaju korist.

Kimi Raikkonen's 2012 Formula 1 season in quotes


Kimi Raikkonen's Formula 1 comeback was one of the biggest stories of the 2012 season.

He finished a remarkable third in the world championship and even flirted with a title tilt at times, winning the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to cap a remarkable year.

While the Finn is famous for being monosyllabic, he still came out with plenty of memorable comments over the course of the season.

Kimi Raikkonen: 2012 in quotes

"There has always been talk about the motivation, but the people who write it don't even know me. There's always shit going on and I don't mind if people want to write it. What can I do? I would have stopped if I felt that I didn't have the motivation."

Telling AUTOSPORT pre-season that he has no problems with motivation

"I feel comfortable here which helps me to focus on racing; I guess that's why people seem to think I'm a different person, but I'm just as focused and motivated as before."

Free to express himself at Lotus after the first two races of the year

Kimi Raikkonen on the Valencia podium"If you asked me before the start of the season whether I would be happy with podiums I would have said yes, but now I've had some good results, I want more."

Wanting wins mid-season

"I have no reason to say I wouldn't try. I'm not here just to drive around."

Trying to win the world championship

"People always say there's something special about me and Spa. I like the circuit but I wouldn't put my money on myself this year or any other year, even though I've won there before. It's not like I'm much better there than anyone else!"

Downplaying his Spa prowess despite his four Belgian Grand Prix wins

"He kept coming left more and more. I tried to go further left but I had nowhere to go."

Explaining the clash with Fernando Alonso at the start of the Japanese Grand Prix

"I would rather be out of second or third place so I don't have to go to the prizegiving."

Hoping that he wouldn't have to go to the FIA prize gala... something he ultimately did have to do!

Kimi Raikkonen wins in Abu Dhabi"Leave me alone. I know what I'm doing."

Asking for peace over the radio while leading the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

"Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes. I'm doing it all the time."

Insisting that he didn't need reminding to keep his tyres warm during the safety car period in Abu Dhabi

"I'm happy, but there's nothing to jump around about."

Celebrating his first grand prix win since Belgium 2009 in Abu Dhabi

"Where I went off, you can get back on the track by going through the support race pitlane, but you have to go through a gate. I know this as I did the same thing in 2001 and the gate was open that year. Somebody closed it this time. Next year, I'll make sure it's open again."

procitah da ce lotus prvi predstaviti novi bolid.. ( 28.januar )

[Vanja #66]

To ce cudo biti sarenije nego ikad... Samo da ne bude E20 sa kapicom preko nosa sa novim sponzorima, kao sto je prosle godine bio R31 sa tom kvrgom i nicim vise... To mi je bas zasmetalo.

Lotus F1 Team je osnovao svoj Lotus F1 Junior Team. Ništa je to ništa do sada ne viđeno, ali posle Red Bulla, Ferrarija i (McLarena), i ovaj tim dobija svoj juniorski tim. To su mladi vozači kojima će ovaj tim pomagati tokom razvoja karijera. Nisu to preterano zvučna imena, ali poenta je da se tim iz Enstona ubrzano razvija.

Nova kaciga za 2013!



Sa leve strane je kaciga sa početka testiranja, a sa desne najnovija verzija koju će verovatno imati u Australiji. Prošle sezone mu je proizvođač bio Arai, a ove godine se prebacio na Bell, model HP7.
Priča se da je to uradio zato što je E21 šasija u aero tunelu testirana i razvijana sa Bellovim modelom. Za test u Herezu je doneo prvo Arai kacigu, pa je probao i Bellov model. Navijači prvo nisu bili zadovoljni jajastim izgledom HP7 u odnosu na Araijev model koji je izgledao primamljivo sa detaljima kao što su rupice za vazduh. Međutim, na poslednjem testu je i HP7 model unapređen spoilerom na zadnjem delu kacige koji bi trebao da pomogne kako u vidu performansi tako i u estetskom vidu.

Sad se ja pitam, koliko ta promena modela kacige vredi u desetinkama... Nije to mala stvar s obzirom da je tokom cele karijeje imao Arai, osim u Ferariju pošto je Schuberth njima sponzor.

Razvili su posebnu konfiguraciju zadnjeg krila za DRD, kao i posebnu konfiguraciju bez DRD sistema. Spremni su u oba slučaja.



Kada je DRD nije instaliran, mehanizam za aktiviranje DRS-a je drugačiji, a bočne stranice zadnjeg krila nemaju dodatke. Kada je DRD instaliran, mehanizam aktiviranja DRS sistema je klasičniji, a bočne stranice zadnjeg krila imaju rebarca.

De La Rosa on Kimi

“Kimi loves sleeping. When he was racing for McLaren and we were testing he would fall asleep on chairs, etc… everywhere. So we decided to make a bed for him and call it ‘Kimi’s bed’, as a joke. But he loved it! And everytime he jumped off the car he would go straight to the bed, fell asleep, we would wake him up for a few laps and he was fast instantly.

But one day Montoya saw the bed, liked it, and took it away from Kimi. They had an argument, nearly come to blows, but finally Kimi said ‘Bah, it’s ok, you want it, it’s yours!”
