Bin Ladenovi su poznata i veoma uspesna familija u S.Arabiji i jedni su od najvecih globalnih igraca u gradjevini (izmedju ostalih biznisa koje imaju). Osama je bio crna ovca familije, cim je 1979. krenuo u mudzahedine u Avganistan (tada jos uvek kao "good guy" sponzorisan od strane CIA protiv SSSR) oni su prekinuli sve kontakte s njim i zavrnuli mu finansijske slavine jer je odbio predvidjenu ulogu naslednika porodicnog biznisa. Bin Ladenovi i dandanas sasvim legalno operisu po celom svetu a Osama je postao problematican tek nakon intervencije u Iraku Busa starijeg kad je poceo da radi protiv zapadnih interesa (jer se zapad po njegovom misljenu bez povoda umesao u unutarnja arapska posla, sve dotle je bio na americkom budzetu) tako da u vreme sponzorstva sa Vilijamsom nikakve kontroverze nije bilo. A ne bi trebalo da je ima ni sada, barem nista vise nego kad F1 timovi uzimaju sponzorstvo od Hugo Boss koji su dizajnirali i proizvodili uniforme za Vermaht i SS tokom Hitlerove vlasti. Tako da je clanak senzacionalisticko smece.

Adrian Newey recounted the story of when he was almost sacked at McLaren after only two weeks, for having his office repainted duck egg blue. Having moved over from Williams in 1997, Newey set to work on the first of two title-winning cars at McLaren, but he moved into an office that was not to his taste. Asking for it to be redecorated went firmly against team boss Ron Dennis’ wishes though, with the McLaren colour scheme deeply rooted in grey, black, silver and white at the time – to a degree where it almost cost him his job. “I had only been there for about two weeks, so I was working crazy hours trying to get the design of the ’98 car ready,” “The office I inherited was John Barnard’s old office, and it was kind of floor to ceiling mahogany panels, there was a dark mahogany table, a black chair, it was really dark brown, dingy carpets – it was just depressing. “So as we were leaving for Hungary, I said to the factory manager: ‘Can you brighten up a bit over the weekend?’ And I gave him a duck egg blue paint chart, and [asked to] put a tan carpet in and change the chair for something a bit lighter and so on and so forth.” “And he got that all done over the weekend, came back on Monday and it was kind of my office.” “Anyway, that evening, Ron came in about six o’clock to see how I was going on, and as he came into the doorframe, looked up, and I heard ‘Hi Ron’, and he started.” “He didn’t say a word. He started gulping like a fish, like a goldfish and, as he gulped, he went redder and redder until he went purple.” “I thought ‘Christ, he’s going to have a heart attack here and now!’ and eventually, still not single word, gulping, he spun on his heels and walked out and never said another word.” “I think for him, there are two sides. First of all, that his factory now had a bit of colour in it and, secondly, it all happened without him knowing. He’s a bit of a control freak, which is fair enough – probably in motor racing you need to be.” “It turned out years later, I found out from Lisa, his wife, that he came back that evening and said: ‘That’s it! Get rid of him. I’m going to fire him in the morning!’ She talked him down a bit. He wasn’t happy.” VIA: [PLANET F1] https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=852561876666071&set=a.560149305907331

Da, vidis, nije losa ideja da cak i start za sprint bude rolling na Indikar fazon, da bude sto vise drugacije od glavne trke... Ali bilo bi bitno da sprint ili bude svakog vikenda ili da ga ne bude nigde, zbog regularnosti takmicenja.

Ne dozvoljavaju, ici ce ili svi ili niko i verovatno je zbog ovoga i kasnjenje. Ali da je cirkus jeste.

Testiranje za zatvaranje sezone:

Kenjaju, donosili su nove delove sve dok nisu obezbedili duplu titulu. Znaci kraj septembra / pocetak oktobra. A da je zver - jeste, i da ce svima pocepati bulju i dogodine - hoce. Samo se nadam da Meklaren nece opet dati 7-8 trka fore svima ostalima u borbi za drugo mesto sledece godine i da ce bolid otpocetka biti dovoljno dobar. Pa da se moooozda otkine par pobeda Maksu i da se Ceko regularno ostavlja van podijuma, pa ako je vozacka titula vec unapred resena makar za konstruktorsku da se muski porvemo i da RBR mora da se oznoji...
