Massa Hopes The Time Is Now To Be Ferrari Number One Sat, 26 Jul 2008 16:32:00 +0000 Felipe Massa - Ferrari It is not yet necessary for Ferrari to appoint a number one driver for the rest of the 2008 championship, according to Felipe Massa. The Brazilian and his teammate, reigning world champion Kimi Raikkonen, are currently tied on points at the top of the drivers’ standings with McLaren rival Lewis Hamilton. Massa told the French morning newspaper Le Figaro: “The team does not have to make a decision as long as things are not leaning either one way or the other.” In previous years, Michael Schumacher was the undisputed number one driver, receiving the balance of the Italian marque’s effort to lift the drivers’ crown. But Massa said last year he was also on equal terms with Raikkonen, until his chances took a final hit at the Italian grand prix. “From then on, there remained a small chance for Kimi. To help him to do it, the team did everything for him, myself included. “This time I hope it will be my turn.” In the interview, Massa also played down suggestions Ferrari may be able to vacate his seat in the near future — perhaps by means of performance clauses. “No. I have a contract until the end of 2010 and I feel perfectly comfortable in the team,” Neal’s View: Massa needs to get focused if he is going to challenge. All those spins at Silverstone, then he gifted Hamilton the lead in Germany.Technorati Tags:ferrari, ferrari news, formula one, ferrari formula one, massa, massa ferrari, ferrari picturesAdd to: | Technorati | Digg | del.icio.us | Yahoo | BlinkList | Spurl | reddit | Furl | [...]

Porsche vs Ferrari Tue, 17 Jun 2008 01:55:00 +0000 Porsche vs Ferrari Porsche and Ferrari are German and Italian sides of the samecoin, interpretations of the sports car idea. Both founded by adominant patriarch, both honed in racing, both more than 50years old, both with engineering and styling integrity. Whether onthe track of Le Mains or on the streets, the two have always beenput head-to-head and compared. Even the most naive motoristassociates these two names with both performance and style. We’ve decided to compare the methodical Porsche 911 Carrera4S and the passionate Ferrari F430 because both of them astonishwith their performance while attempting to maintain a reasonableamount of practicality but do not pretend to be anything other thansports cars. A modern sports car should feature these characteristics: it should bestarted easily, maneuvered around town, blasted on a couple ofcountry roads, it looks and performs the part on a racetrack but at thesame time it is very safe. The easier way to separate the two cars is by measuring figures sinceboth of them have mastered the modern sports car requirements andbasically there’s no other way to choose between these two phenomenalcars. What initially impresses is Ferrari’s lightning fast 4-second 0-100km/hacceleration and thrilling exhaust tone. As the occupants are pinned tothe seats, the new generation 4.3-litre V8 pushes out 368 snarlingkilowatts. Porsche’s acceleration also offers that kick in the pants asuper car should deliver, although it is 0.8 seconds slower at the 100 km/kmark. With such acceleration performance, it comes natural for both cars toexcel in the braking department. The two cars offer optional ceramicdiscs for impressive stopping. Porsche’s engine gets the upper hand as it is more refined and onthe economy rank leaps ahead Ferrari with a 11.8 liters per 100 kmas opposed to 18.3 liters. Both cars deliver the power through impressive6-speed gearboxes and offer top rate handling performance. Both F430 and Carrera4S offer great interior comfort and even if thespace is limited, the occupants don’t feel claustrophobic and flustered.Although an impressive mix of suede, carbon fiber and aluminum aboundin the Ferrari, the Italians stand no chance when it comes to the high finishlevel attained by the Germans. Speed and silence are key elements for any super car. The look andappearance is the biggest draw card. The Carrera 4S is a typical Porsche,despite the new proportions. It is a great looking car, like any other 911 butsomehow the styling no longer creates the jaw dropping reaction that theFerrari does. Indeed, traditionalists may say that Porsche pays homage toits roots, but the truth is that Ferrari F430 simply draws the attention. However, even if Ferrari F430 takes your breath away with its appearance,the super car title goes to the Porsche Carrera 4S with a more complete allround package.Credit[...]

Ferrari 288 GTO Sun, 08 Jun 2008 18:23:00 +0000 The Ferrari GTO (often referred to as Ferrari 288 GTO) was an exotic homologation (thus the O) of the Ferrari 308 GTB produced in 1984 through 1986. (image) Background (image) Unlike the 308, the engine was mounted longitudinally, using the 308’s rear boot space. The wheelbase was 110 mm (4.3 in) longer at 2450 mm (96.5 in), and the track was widened also. With 400 hp (almost 140 hp per liter) and 366 ft·lbf (496 N·m) of torque, the GTO was an impressive performer. 0-60 mph times were in the upper 4 second range and Ferrari claimed 0-125 mph (201 km/h) in 15 seconds flat. Top speed was a staggering 190 mph (306 km/h). (image)

Domenicali Confident Of Ferrari Comeback In Canada Wed, 28 May 2008 15:12:00 +0000 Stefano Domenicali has declared himself confident of a Ferrari comeback in Canada, after a truly appalling Monaco GP.For the first time since 1979, 2 Ferrari’s locked out the front row in Monaco but poor weather and a series of bad decisions and accidents led Felipe Massa to finish 3rd and Raikkonen to finish 9th. With Lewis Hamilton winning the race, it pushed Raikkonen off the top of the drivers title race and heads were certainly convinced to be rolling back in Italy. However, the team principal is sure his drivers can take the fight to McLaren in Montreal where Lewis Hamilton scored his first ever race win last season. “It’s easy to say but difficult to do it. For sure, in terms of preparation, we are much more confident of the situation ad hopefully it should be different from what we saw last year,” said Domenicali. “We want to be positive for Canada because we take the same kind of approach but we need to be humble because the competition is always very strong. “As we always said, we mustn’t forget that we won four races out of six, and that’s something important. As I’ve always said, the championship will be very very long. “In these conditions, you’re going to lose some points, then the situation that happened with Lewis today means he’s leading the championship, so it will be very, very long.” (image) Credit to http://f1fanatics.wordpress.com
Ferrari To Hit Indian Roads By Next Year Thu, 22 May 2008 09:52:00 +0000 (image)Italian car major Fiat group is eyeing to launch its premium car brand Ferrari in India, which will soon lighten on the Indian roads by next year (2009). Ferrari’s entry into the Indian market is mainly aimed at ensuring speed delivery of vehicles to the customers. Ferrari kicked off its India campaign by launching the 'Magic India Discovery Drive' with elephant as its mascot, to give 50 journalists from across the globe a feel about India. Mr Davide Kluzer, head of press office for Ferrari said, “During this tour, we will understand the technological challenges we are going to face in India and we will collect experience from here.” Hormaz Sorabjee, editor of Autocar India said, “The base Ferrari model is available for Rs 2.2 crore, including the import duty. Upon entry in India, the costs may go down slightly by about a couple of lakhs.” Ferrari, which entered China in 2004, sold 177 vehicles last year, 27 more than predicted. It expects China to become its fifth largest market in six years. Ferrari is using its China strategy in India. Currently, the vehicles are directly shipped from Italy by the buyers in India. Ferrari’s initial plan is to open showrooms in the country.

So farewell then Jean... Wed, 21 May 2008 18:54:00 +0000 (image) Jean Todt has stepped down as Ferrari CEO(having already handed over control of the racing team to Stefano Domenicali) and has been replaced by Amadeo Felisa. To be quite honest there will be few who will be sad to see the Frenchman go. He was definitely not the most popular guy in the paddock. But, on the other hand, Todt was never trying to win popularity contests and his unique obsessional and ruthless approach to Formula One brought him and Ferrari extraordinary success. Some say that the Scuderia has already returned to a more charming and attractive mood without Todt goading everyone in and out of the team. But there are risks involved here. What would you rather have, a friendly team that loses its way or an aggressive, cynical and ruthless outfit that wins? Pic of Todt and Michael by makeroadsafe via flickr |
