Hamilton nije platio porez ni novi avion...

Mečka bi možda uvela nagib bolida kao Red Bull sledeće godine. Sumnjam da sad samo razmatraju, verovatno razvijaju dva koncepta. Prednost novog koncepta je što povećavaju plafon performansi (koji mislim da su skoro pa dostigli sa ovim bolidom i konceptom koji ne menjaju od 2014), mana je što će biti u zaostatku sa manje od 6 meseci razvoja koncepta, obzirom da Ferrari i Red Bull nastavljaju razvoj sadašnjih bolida i imaće više od godinu dana razvoja takvog koncepta iza sebe do početka sezone 2018.

Nekad mi je teško da skontam na šta misle, da li samo na motor ili na ceo sklop sa sve sistemima za povraćaj energije... Šta god da je, dostojno je Formule 1

[Alan]

Mislim da je ceo sklop u pitanju.

Gledao sam malo bolide iz 2016. Tada nisam mogao da pratim njihov razvoj koliko i sad, zbog raznih obaveza, ali moram reći da mi je tek sad jasno zašto je Mečka te sezone bila tako brutalno dominantna. W07 je bio toliko ispred konkurencije po pitanju aerodinamike, da mi je neverovatno da ni jedan tim nije hteo da investira u razvoj i izradu nešto kompleksnijih delova kako bi probali da im pariraju. Možda su svi bili svesni nakon prve trke da nema ništa od prekida dominacije 2016 i fokusirali se na 2017.

Wolff called Bottas a "sensational wingman" after the race. Bottas didn't appreciate that: "The word wingman hurts a bit." Expects talks with Mercedes during the summer break about his role in the team after the gap to Lewis increased further.

Daimler will shrink with shift to EVs, AVs, CEO says

Daimler will be a smaller company five years from now, focused on capturing recurring revenues with software-based services as Mercedes-Benz seeks to redefine luxury in an era of electric and self-driving cars, CEO Ola Kaellenius said.

The Stuttgart-based company founded by Carl Benz, who patented the first gasoline-powered car in 1886, is accelerating plans to shift the automaker beyond combustion-engine vehicles, a step which will result in job losses.

"The next five years we will become a smaller company," Kaellenius told a Reuters Events broadcast on Thursday. "We will have a fundamental change in the industrial footprint on the powertrain side," he said.

Jobs will disappear because it takes less time to build an electric car than a conventional gasoline or diesel version.

That's because an electric car's battery and motor have only 200 components, compared with at least 1,400 parts found in a combustion engine and transmission, according to analysts at ING.

The shift away from fossil fuel requires the automaker to double down on efficiency so it can free up resources to build electric and self-driving cars, Kallenius said.

"We are hiring a lot of new software engineers, experts in battery chemistry, electrification," he explained.

Making Daimler smaller also fits with a new era where luxury no longer defines itself through opulence and excess but also through sustainability and efficiency.

"There is no doubt in our minds that the footprint that this product leaves on this Earth needs to be smaller. That is part of the modern luxury promise," Kaellenius said.

Mercedes-Benz is tapping engineering expertise from its Formula One team to build the EQXX, an electric vehicle which aims to be the most efficient vehicle capable of taking passengers from Stuttgart, Germany, to Marseille, France, on a single charge.

"It is a pre-development project to introduce new technologies," Kaellenius said.
