McLaren: New approach has transformed upgrade success

McLaren's new working philosophy has significantly improved the effectiveness of their upgrade and development work in 2015, according to racing director Eric Boullier.

While the team have not scored points in the opening four races of their renewed partnership with Honda, Boullier says changes away from the circuit are having a marked impact – particularly with regards to updates, which proved hit and miss in 2014.

"There's been a huge change in overall culture and philosophy. At every level of the company, there is clear leadership," Boullier explained.

"We agree the direction we want to pursue, and we bring people with us. The attitude has changed from 'telling' people, to 'asking' people; we've integrated people, and we share opinions and ideas.

"The main outcome of that new approach is that people now have a sense of ownership in the car. To give you an example, I guess about 50 per cent of the upgrades we brought to the track last year didn't completely work; this year, we've brought that down to about five or 10 per cent.

"There's tangible change at the factory, too: we've been able to increase our in-house manufacturing capability by around 30 per cent - which makes our development cycle lighter, faster and more flexible."

Chief engineer Peter Prodromou, who has steered McLaren's aerodynamic philosophy since being recruited from Red Bull, said that McLaren will continue to develop the MP4-30 until the final race of the year, in part to help them hit the ground running next season.

"Over the last couple of seasons, the team slightly lost its way aerodynamically," he said. "It became obvious that if we'd carried on with the previous concept, there'd only be so much we could achieve.

"So we've begun to establish a new aerodynamic concept, and a different way of working, too. That new concept has majorly shaped where the team's heading in the future.

"Next year's car will be an evolution of this year's, so we need to keep developing it right until the final race."

Speaking after this year's Grand Prix in Bahrain, Fernando Alonso predicted that McLaren will make a "huge step" forward at his home race in Barcelona.

Lotus complete landmark Brands Hatch filming day

Former British Grand Prix venue Brands Hatch hosted contemporary Formula One machinery for the first time in seven years on Monday as Lotus completed a filming day at the famous circuit.

Romain Grosjean, Pastor Maldonado and reserve driver Jolyon Palmer were all in action as the team rolled out their 2015 challenger, the E23 Hybrid, and also the iconic Lotus 72E, which claimed eight Grand Prix victories between 1973 and 1974 in the hands of Emerson Fittipaldi and Ronnie Peterson.

Both cars ran together in the afternoon, after Lotus dedicated the majority of the morning to filming duties split between on-track runs, pit stops and practice starts. The team also opened up the pit lane to fans during their lunch break, and conducted a number of hot laps in road-going Lotuses.

The occasion marked the first time modern F1 machinery has run at Brands Hatch since Lewis Hamilton drove his title-winning 2008 McLaren MP4-23 in a demonstration run at that year's DTM event.

The last Grand Prix to be held at the track was in 1986, when Nigel Mansell thrilled the home crowd by leading Nelson Piquet home for a Williams one-two. In total, 14 world championship Formula One races were staged at the circuit, which had a regular biennial slot on the F1 calendar between 1964 and 1982.

Pirelli reveal tyre choices for Spain, Monaco, Canada and Austria

Formula One racing's official tyre suppliers Pirelli have confirmed the tyre compounds that will be used in the upcoming Grands Prix in Spain, Monaco, Canada and Austria.

In Spain the teams will use the two hardest tyres in the Italian company’s range - the white-marked mediums and orange-marked hards - as these are the best combination to deal with the high loads seen in Barcelona.

Conversely in Monaco, Canada and Austria the two softest tyres in the range - the red-marked supersofts and the yellow-marked softs - will be used as they are best suited to the low-grip characteristics of each track.

Pirelli say that while the nominations are exactly the same as 2014, with the cars going faster this year, there is more energy going through the tyres.

At a glance - tyre compounds for 2015:

Australia - soft, medium
Malaysia - hard, medium
China - soft, medium
Bahrain - soft, medium
Spain - medium, hard
Monaco - supersoft, soft
Canada - supersoft, soft
Austria - supersoft, soft

Bahrain - Winners and loser

Kimi Raikkonen wasn't getting carried away, but second-place in Bahrain ended his podium drought and also marked the first time he has beaten new Ferrari team mate Sebastian Vettel. He wasn't the only man with something to cheer though: Sergio Perez returned Force India to the points; Felipe Massa and Daniil Kvyat scrapped their way into the top 10; and Romain Grosjean kept up Lotus's strong recent form. On the other hand, this was a race of mixed blessings for McLaren, and one to forget for Toro Rosso...


Mercedes

Lewis Hamilton, P1
Nico Rosberg, P3

Hamilton largely had it his own way at the head of the field, managing his tyres and his lead throughout - and escaping one tricky moment on the 16th lap when he emerged from the pits perilously close to the duelling Rosberg and Vettel. A third win from four races puts him nicely in the championship lead as the paddock heads back to Europe.

With Hamilton assured out front, it was Rosberg who bore the brunt of the Ferrari challenge, having to pass Vettel and Raikkonen several times on track. Though he did so with aplomb, he and Mercedes were always conscious of Raikkonen's late threat as Ferrari used an alternative strategy to the soft-soft-medium plan Rosberg, Hamilton and Vettel had followed. Raikkonen duly closed rapidly, but just as Rosberg prepared to defend his second place his brakes faded and he ended up handing the place over. Third does at least keep him in the game, and ensures Mercedes still have a healthy points lead.


Ferrari

Kimi Raikkonen, P2
Sebastian Vettel, P5

When Rosberg was able to catch and pass both Raikkonen and Vettel within the first nine laps, it seemed that Ferrari's challenge was over. Vettel remained strong, but not strong enough to truly challenge - and it wasn't until they switched Raikkonen to a soft-medium-soft tyre strategy that they got one car back into the game. The Finn was very fast on his mediums even when his three main rivals were on softs, and after leading when the others pitted, he fought back dramatically in his final stint on softs. He was catching Rosberg when the German's brakes faded and handed him second place, but just ran out of time to challenge Hamilton.

Vettel, meanwhile, fought hard but struggled for rhythm or confidence in his SF15-T's rear end. An off-track excursion in Turn 14 when under pressure from Rosberg on the 35th lap obliged him to pit a third time to have the front wing replaced, and thereafter he was unable to mount a serious challenge to Bottas's fourth place.


Williams

Valtteri Bottas, P4
Felipe Massa, P10

Williams lost a chance of better points when Massa's FW37 stalled on the grid, consigning the Brazilian to a fight back from a pit-lane start - which wasn't helped when Maldonado hit him early on and caused fairly significant aerodynamic damage. Bottas, however, drove a great race and maximised his points haul by steadfastly refusing to be intimidated by Vettel's presence in his mirrors.


Red Bull

Daniel Ricciardo, P6
Daniil Kvyat, P9

Ricciardo had a lonely race in which he couldn't do anything about the Bottas/Vettel fight ahead, but was equally untroubled by Grosjean behind. But he was lucky at the end, given that his Renault engine expired as he exited the final corner of the last lap. Kvyat had a tough race but executed it well to move up from his lowly grid position to score a brace of points with ninth.


Lotus

Romain Grosjean, P7
Pastor Maldonado, P15

Grosjean was happy to take another seventh place as Lotus's campaign gathers strength. Despite starting out of position and being given a five-second penalty for not lining up properly on the grid, Maldonado drove well and was also in the hunt for points when his anti-stall activated during his second pit call on lap 41. That stalled the engine, dropping him down to an eventual 15th place finish - which was at least the first time he has seen the chequered flag this season.


Force India

Sergio Perez, P8
Nico Hulkenberg, P13

Perez drove a strong and aggressive two-stop race and claimed more valuable points at a circuit where he scored a podium last year. Hulkenberg's chances were doomed when he couldn't conserve his tyres as well, forcing him to make three pit calls.


Sauber

Felipe Nasr, P12
Marcus Ericsson, P14

Ericsson was well in the hunt for points early on, but a serious delay with his left front wheel during his second pit stop ruined his race. Nasr had a big scrap with Massa and Maldonado, but dropped back with a momentary loss of power mid-race.


McLaren

Fernando Alonso, P11
Jenson Button, Did not start

McLaren lost Button even before the start. His energy recovery system showed further signs of the electrical trouble that had dogged his car all weekend, and though Honda felt they might just have got it repaired in time they took the decision that the risk of further damage wasn't worth it.

Alonso drove the wheels off his MP4-30, but narrowly missed out on scoring McLaren-Honda's first points since 1992, finishing just 3.9s behind Massa's Williams.


Marussia

Will Stevens, P16
Roberto Merhi, P17

They weren't quick, but once again the Marussias were at least reliable. Stevens had the measure of Merhi all weekend and led his team mate home as the last two finishers, two laps down.


Toro Rosso

Carlos Sainz, Retired lap 30
Max Verstappen, Retired lap 35, electrics

Too Rosso had a horrible race. Sainz was penalised five seconds even before the start for failing to go fast enough during the reconnaissance laps, and later retired when he intimated a wheel had worked loose following his second stop. Verstappen didn't last much longer before his STR10, already delayed by a tardy first stop, was claimed by an electrical fault. The result drops Toro Rosso behind Lotus and into seventh in the constructors' championship.

2015 Bahrain Grand Prix review

In my opinion this was the best race yet in 2015 and I hope we shall see more of races like this! Let's begin talking about the race starting from the beginning.

The start of the race was bad for McLaren and Williams because Jenson Button couldn't get his car ready for the starting grid and Felipe Massa's car wouldn't move before the warm up lap. Felipe Massa got to start from the pit lane though which was good in a bad situation.

Then the actual start was great for the Ferraris. They jumped forward much faster than the Mercs and Kimi Räikkönen even overtook Nico Rosberg.

Pastor Maldonado looked like he was drunk driving because he was all over the place. On track off track and even hit Max Verstappen. I think one reason might be that he was the only one who started the race with medium tyres but it's Maldonado so the problem might be inside the cockpit as well.

The Mercedes is still the better car so Nico had no problem overtaking Kimi and Sebastian Vettel later on. After the first pitstops Vettel had managed to pass Rosberg but made a mistake later on breaking his front wing and letting Nico pass him again. Vettel said that he didn't know what happened to the wing but I thought it was pretty obvious if you drive over some high kerbs.

Kimi changed his softs to mediums in his first pitstop which seemed a bit strange. For some reason he managed to do even faster laps with them and was catching Rosberg. Then for his 2nd pitstop he agreed with the team that he would take softer tyres even though he was skeptical at first. After this he set even faster times than before and was catching Rosberg a second per lap.

Sebastian Vettel was struggling with Valtteri Bottas because he couldn't get pass him even though he was behind him for 15 laps or so. Great work from Valtteri!

On the last few laps Kimi finally overtook Rosberg and took 2nd place. Nico Rosberg said that his brakes broke at the same time as Kimi was overtaking him. Sounds a bit strange if you ask me...

Lewis Hamilton took the checkered flag followed by Kimi Räikkönen, Nico Rosberg, Valtteri Bottas, Sebastian Vettel and the smoking Red Bull of Daniel Ricciardo.

Then it's time for my predictions and how well I did:

Pole position: Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes - CORRECT

The race: 

1. Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes - CORRECT
2. Nico Rosberg, Mercedes - WRONG. He was 3rd. 
3. Sebastian Vettel, Ferrari - WRONG. He was 5th and his teammate Kimi was 2nd.

Fastest lap: Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes - WRONG. Kimi Räikkönen was fastest for the 41st time of his career. He equaled Alain Prosts record and only Michael Schumacher has more fastest lap than them. I guess Kimi will get even more fastest laps in 2015 so keep an eye on him.

Surprise: Romain Grosjean will have a great race - He did actually have an pretty ok race but who notices when you are being compared to Maldonado in every Grand Prix.

This weeks bonus for the predictors league: The first DNF of the race. My pick is going to be Pastor Maldonado. - WRONG. Carlos Sainz was the first DNF.

2015 Bahrain Grand Prix preview

The season just started and it's already time for the fourth Grand Prix! Will Mercedes continue with their dominance or is Ferrari going to win another race?

This is going to be the 11th Grand Prix at Sakhir if I remember correctly. It would have been the 12th but the 2011 Bahrain Grand Prix was cancelled because of the Bahraini protests if you still remember?

One of the most interesting thing though is that last year Bahrain switched from daylight to a night race! They will continue like this in 2015 as well.

So what has happened in the past 11 years at this circuit?

In 2004 the first race was a bit boring if I remember correctly. Ferrari was still dominating the series so they had a 1-2 and Button was about half a minute behind them.

In 2005 it was a bit different because now it was the year of Renault. Fernando Alonso won, Jarno Trulli was second in his Toyota and Kimi Räikkönen was third in his McLaren. Alonso and Räikkönen ended up being the two superstars in 2005.

In 2006 all I can remember is that Räikkönen started from the back and was still third in the end. A very impressive performance. In front of him was the two drivers who fought for the championship that year, Michael Schumacher in second and Fernando Alonso in first place.

In 2007 Felipe Massa won the race, Lewis Hamilton was second and Kimi Räikkönen was third again.

In 2008 Massa won again, Räikkönen was second this time and Robert Kubica third. It seems that Massa and Räikkönen have also been very successful at Sakhir.

In 2009 Jenson Button took the only victory for a British driver (until Hamilton won in 2014) in Bahrain. Brawn was the team and it was their dominance back then and not Mercedes.. later Brawn became Mercedes.

In 2010 Bahrain was the first race of the season and it was also Alonso's first race at Ferrari. He did the same thing as Räikkönen had done in 2007 by winning in the first race at Ferrari.

In 2013 Sebastian Vettel won and the Lotuses of Räikkönen and Grosjean followed him. The same podium result was also in 2012 so these guys really seem to like this track.























Last year it was all about Lewis Hamilton's and Nico Rosberg's one on one fight at the top. That made the race one of the most interesting in 2014. I hope we will see something similar this weekend but the Ferraris should join the battle if they have the pace!

So who has been most successful in Bahrain? If we look at the stuff I just said earlier then Fernando Alonso! He has won 3 races, Massa and Vettel has won 2 and then Button and Hamilton only once. If we talk about other podium positions then Räikkönen has three 2nd places and three 3rd places. He didn't drive there in 2010.

Then it's time for my predictions:

Pole position: Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes

The race:

1. Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes
2. Nico Rosberg, Mercedes
3. Sebastian Vettel, Ferrari

Fastest lap: Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes

Surprise: Romain Grosjean will have a great race.

I went to a karting club for the first time in over 10 years!

Me and my wife at Formula Center Helsinki

Last Sunday after the Chinese Grand Prix I had a strong feeling that I must do something I haven't done in a long time. KARTING!

I started driving when I was 7-8 years old and I drove for a junior team / club called Micro Monza. I did that for a few years and then decided to focus on my other hobby - Football (or Soccer as the Americans call it). After this decision I only drove every now and then for fun with friends or relatives.

Later when I was an adult I joined another club called Kart'in Club and drove there until I had to join the marines in 2004. Then I never drove again until last Sunday! The place is called Formula Center.

The feeling to drive after such a long time was unbelievable! My wife also enjoyed it and we decided to come back to Formula Center in the near future. This might be in a few weeks or months but I can't wait that long! I contacted my brother and we decided to go this or next week. He studies to be a car mechanic so he is a great person to bring along. My sister heard that we are planning to go and now she is also joining us. We shall see who is the fastest in the family! :D

I'll post some pictures when we are going (if we take any pics next time).

Tomorrow I will post the Bahrain GP preview. Remember to post your predictions under that post for the PREDICTORS LEAGUE.

2015 Chinese Grand Prix review

It was an ok race but I wasn't very happy how the race ended behind the safety car. This hasn't happened that many times in F1 history but I have seen all of those races and it has never been a good thing if you ask me.

Let's talk about how the race started shall we.

After the warm up lap Lewis Hamilton placed his car in an angle at his grid spot so that he could easier go in front of Nico Rosberg without turning the wheel as much. Was he really that worried about Nico? I would have been more worried about the Ferraris!

Speaking of Ferraris did you see how well Kimi Räikkönen's start went? He jumped from 6th to 4th by overtaking both of the Williams's (Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas).

Bottas had a good start because he overtook Massa. Unfortunately for his sake he didn't hold that position very long because when Kimi overtook him he also lost the position back to Massa. You can clearly now see that Ferrari has done a better job than Williams. Last year Williams were in front of them most of the time and Red Bull was the second best team. Now Williams is still the 3rd best team but Red Bull has dropped even further back. Ferrari might even catch the Mercs at some point of the season just like Red Bull did with Brawn in 2009. But in 2009 it was too late to win the championship.

Red Bull and Renault are really struggling. Daniel Ricciardo's start was a disaster when his car went into antistall and didn't move forward very fast. He got overtaken from both sides in an instant. Daniil Kvyat retired again even though he drove well. What a pity! Ricciardo and Kvyat are both great drivers and they are wasting their time at Red Bull if they can't get things moving forward. Should Red Bull try to use Infinity engines or should they just wait for Renault to solve the problems? Who knows... that's probably what's on Christian Horner's mind right now. Max Verstappen also retired once again. He also had a great race and showed better skills than Carlos Sainz, but if you can't bring the car to the finish line it doesn't count or even matter.

Pastor Maldonado and Romain Grosjean did a very good job! Lotus has also made huge progress if you haven't noticed. Maldonado was just flying and overtook several cars one by one. Then he crashed with Jenson Button but this time the blame wasn't on Maldonado. Button even admitted that it was his own fault.

The funniest moment was when Kimi said on the radio "get these two McLaren's out of the way!". Listen to this clip:



The end part of the race was boring because after the last retirement the safety car was deployed just 2 laps before the finish. They didn't have time to restart the race before it was all over. Hamilton asked Mercedes if he had already won it just to make sure. Rosberg was second followed by the Ferraris of Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Räikkönen.


As usual it's time for the predictions and the results.

Pole position: Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes - CORRECT

The race:

1. Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes - CORRECT
2. Sebastian Vettel, Ferrari - WRONG. He was 3rd.
3. Nico Rosberg, Mercedes - WRONG. He was 2nd.

Fastest lap: Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes - CORRECT

Surprise: McLaren will do better this weekend! - CORRECT. They managed to finish with both cars!
