How?s this for Renault?s Corporate Social Responsibility?
2009-09-23 19:18:00 When in 2002 the Benetton Formula One team morphed into Renault it was clear that what the French car giant was seeking to do was to secure brand value from the move, in return, of course, for funding. Constructors’ and Drivers’ championships in 2005 and 2006 will undoubtedly have given the brand a major boost ...
Formula One and laminar flow
2009-05-10 17:37:00 Well, I was watching the F1 race in Spain this morning and came up with another of my goofy ideas. The engineers in F1 are as fanatic about aerodynamics as airplane designers, and they spend hundreds of millions of dollars on wind tunnel research, but I've never heard them mention laminar flow in F1
Formula One Engines
2009-05-06 16:52:00 I was watching a TV show about Formula One engines, and the technology is just amazing.

Montreal loses the Formula One Grand Prix.
2008-10-09 16:59:00 As we were remembering and celebrating the first Formula One victory of Gilles Villeneuve thirty years ago this week, a bombshell hitted the organization led by Normand Legault.Bernie Ecclestone unveiled a version of the 2009 calendar this week and the Canadian Grand Prix is not on the list. The 2009 calendar was supposed to contain a total of 19 races but is now only showing 18. The Canadian Grand Prix is nowhere to be found on the list.In reaction to this fact yesterday, Normand Legault, the only remaining private Formula One race promoter, announced that he and his company (Grand Prix du Canada) are retiring themselves and will not negotiate for any future Formula One Grand Prix to be held in Montreal. The amount of money asked by Bernie Ecclestone to run again in Montreal is too much for Legault and his company. In a word, the Canadian Grand Prix is officially dead.The only way that another Formula One race could be held on the Gilles Villeneuve circuit is through a negotiation ...

Full Disk Encryption Is Priority One For Formula One Drivers: Blackmail Sug
2008-05-16 06:50:00 Reportedly, a ?thief? has tried to ?blackmail? Formula One driver Adrian Sutil. I?m having problems calling the guy a thief, though, and I?m not sure I see the blackmail angle. Not that I?m excusing this guy from his actions. Either way, he has helped highlight the need for better disposal practices when it comes to throwing away one?s computer. Hard drive encryption could have helped in this case, although a magazine publisher with standards will serve in a pinch. The facts are the following, supposedly: Sutil?s father gets rid of the computer. Nobody knows where it ended up, but a man by the name of ?Dieter? acquires the hard disk found in the computer. Dieter accesses the disk and finds Sutil?s data: financial information, such as Swiss bank account transactions, as well as photographs and personal correspondence. Obviously, data security measures like full disk encryption from AlertBoot were not present; otherwise, Dieter wouldn?t...
