      Lewis Hamilton shows off new £80k EQS fully electric Mercedes which goes 0-60mph in 4.5 secs and has holographic lights

      by

      LEWIS HAMILTON has shown off his latest electric motor – the Mercedes EQS.
      As the Formula 1 championship heads to the petrolhead heaven of Monza, Hamilton talked up his decision to go green in a bid to protect the environment.

      The F1 champ says he is ‘working closely’ with Mercedes to move towards a more electric fleet
      The EQS is not due for release until next year but is part of the two-car garage the Merc racer is sticking to off the track.
      Pairing the £80,000 saloon with a Smart car, Hamilton, 35, says he has offset the carbon footprint of his ENTIRE F1 career.
      Yet the EQS still packs a punch, going from 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds with 470bhp generated by a 350 kW electric motor.
      Mercedes reckon a fully-charged EQS can even manage a range of 435 miles.

      Naturally, it is also packed full of toys including holographic headlights, a rear ‘lightbelt’ of over 200 LEDs, and ambient dashboard lighting.
      Posting a picture of himself beside the car, Hamilton wrote on Instagram: “Recently I’ve been making many changes in my life to reduce my impact on the environment.
      “The first step in this journey was to understand my personal impact on the planet so I could make changes to improve it.
      “Since then, I have offset my carbon footprint from my Formula 1 career dating back to 2007, I have reduced travel where possible, I have gone plant-based and outside of the track, I try to use electric cars wherever possible.

      “I also want to use my position as a racing driver to enforce positive and permanent change, which is why I’m working closely with Mercedes to slowly move their fleet of cars towards electric.

      “Small steps lead to big change, so it’s important we all take a moment to understand our footprint and the small changes we can make in our everyday lives to put our planet first.

      Sir Frank Williams and daughter Claire step down from F1 team following £136m sale in end to 43-year family dynasty

      by

      SIR FRANK WILLIAMS and his daughter, Claire, have stepped down from running their F1 team following its sale for £136million last month.
      It brings an end to F1’s family dynasty after 43 years with highlights including 114 wins, 128 pole positions, nine constructors’ titles and seven drivers’ championships.

      1

      Sir Frank Williams and his daughter Claire have stepped down from the Williams F1 team
      SunSport reported last week how Claire Williams was coy on her future following the sale and this weekend’s Italian GP at Monza will mark her last as Deputy Team Principal.
      Sir Frank, who formed the team in May 1977, has also agreed to make way for new owners, US-based investment firm, Dorilton Capital.
      Claire Williams said: “With the future of the team now secured, this feels like the appropriate time for us to step away from the sport.
      “As a family, we have always prioritised Williams.

      “We have demonstrated that by our recent actions with the strategic review process and we believe now is the right time to hand over the reins and give the new owners the opportunity to take the team into the future.
      “We have been in this sport for more than four decades. We are incredibly proud of our track record and the legacy we leave behind.
      “We have always been in it for the love of it, for the pure pleasure of going motor racing, so this is not a decision that we have taken lightly but after much reflection and as a family.
      “We are greatly appreciative of Dorilton’s encouragement to continue, but in them we know the team will be in good hands and the Williams name will live on.

      “This may be the end of an era for Williams as a family-run team, but it is the beginning of a new era for Williams Racing and we wish them much success in the future.”
      Little is known about Dorilton Capital and when the sale was confirmed on the Stock Exchange the real buyer was listed as BCE.
      Last week, Williams confirmed that the new buyer was NOT Bernie Ecclestone but would not divulge further details.
      And Williams driver, George Russell, who is in the middle of a three-year loan deal from Mercedes, said it was not essential the new boss of the team has F1 experience.
      The Brit added: “It is a sad day for us. For me personally, Frank and Claire gave me my opportunity in F1 and that is something I am thankful and grateful for.
      “It is sad to see the Williams family step aside but the team will remain as Williams Racing and we will continue to fight and represent the family name.
      “I know they have the best interest of the team at heart and I am at ease with the situation.

      “As for the next boss, I don’t think F1 experience matters too much. Look at Toto Wolff at Mercedes.
      “He had some motorsport experience but not a huge amount in F1 and has not done too bad. So I don’t think that is hugely important.”
      Meanwhile, Matthew Savage, Chairman of Dorilton Capital and Williams Grand Prix Engineering, said: “We fully respect the very tough decision of Claire and the Williams family to step away from the team and the business after securing new resources for its future.
      “We are proud to carry the Williams name into the next exciting phase for the sport and we thank Sir Frank, Claire and the Williams family for the opportunity to be part of this great British brand.”
      Williams have confirmed that the new board will include James Matthews, who is Prince William’s brother-in-law.
      Matthews, a business tycoon and a former racing driver, married Pippa Middleton in 2017.
      He is also heir to a 10,000 acre Scottish estate, Glen Affric, and his brother, Spencer, was in the TV show Made in Chelsea.
      Matthews is is the CEO of Eden Rock Group, an investment firm based in London and joins Savage, who is the Chairman of Dorilton Capital and the company’s co-founder Darren Fultz, on the new board.

      Ferrari fears it will be years until they start winning on F1 circuit again as chief Mattia Binotto calls for ‘patience’

      by

      FERRARI boss Mattia Binotto has pleaded for “patience” as he tries to stop the team’s slide – but warned it could take YEARS for them to be winners again.
      The Italian team endured their worst weekend in a decade in last Sunday’s Belgian GP where their cars finished in 13th and 14th place.

      And they are set for more pain this weekend in their home race – the Italian GP at Monza.
      SunSport quizzed Binotto after the race in Spa as to what exactly had gone wrong, whether he was the right man to resolve the situation and how long it would take to turn it around.
      He said: “How long it will take? I think that if you look back at all the winning cycles it is always many years.
      “There are no silver bullets in F1. Patience and stability is required.

      “The engine is frozen this season, so there is nothing we can do on that. We are developing it for next season, and it is progressing well on the dyno at the moment.
      “On the car there are some restrictions, so what’s the plan for us? The main plan is focusing on the next seasons – not only 2021 but also certainly as well 2022.
      “In order to do well in the next season we also need to try to understand the weaknesses of today and make sure that we are addressing them.”
      There is a growing feeling within the F1 paddock that Ferrari’s loss of engine power came about following an investigation by the FIA into their power unit.

      Controversially, the findings of that investigation have been kept private after the two reached a “settlement”.
      But Binotto claims that all engine-manufacturers have suffered as a result of the rule changes introduced for this season.
      But while the likes of Mercedes still continue to eek out more lap time for their motor, Ferrari – who were blasted by Seb Vettel during the British GP – have not been able to do so.
      He added: “What is happening, in fact, is that we have a car that has lost power. Just as all the engine manufacturers have lost it: but we more than the others.
      “Last year the engine partly covered the limits of the machine, but this year it is no longer the case.
      “The limits of the machine are emerging. On that point it is clear that we must improve.”

      Ferrari chief Mattia Binotto insists F1 flops are NOT in crisis despite worst result in decade at Belgian Grand Prix

      by

      FERRARI boss Mattia Binotto insists the team are not in a crisis – despite their worst result in a decade.
      Both Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc finished outside of the points at the Belgian GP as they came home in 13th and 14th place respectively.

      Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc finished outside of the points at the Belgian GP
      Both drivers also missed out on reaching Q3 in qualifying, with their car way down on performance.
      Vettel and Leclerc have both been frustrated so far this season, with the team down in fifth place in the constructors’ championship.
      But underfire Binotto says the team’s slump is only temporary as he bids to turn their fortunes around.
      Speaking after the Belgian GP, he said: “I think it is wrong to use the word crisis for the moment we are going through.

      “Certainly this is a very bad result within a difficult season that we are experiencing.
      “But we knew it was coming, we saw it in winter testing, and then came the impossibility to develop the car.
      “We all take responsibility for this situation. I take that as team principal as well as all those who work in Maranello.
      “We are all in the same boat. But although the team is in the middle of the storm, we are very united.

      “There is no crisis, no tension. There is bitterness and frustration in each of us. But I believe that this frustration must be transformed into reaction and determination.”
      Ferrari’s slump is bad timing for the team as it is the Italian GP at Monza this week followed by another GP at Mugello to celebrate their 1,000th race in F1.
      And while 2,880 spectators WILL be allowed in to the Mugello circuit, there seems to be little to celebrate at the moment.
      Binotto added: “We understand the fans. We are very sorry, we are the first to admit, and we are sorry for them too.
      “What is happening, in fact, is that we have a car that has lost power, just as all the engine manufacturers have lost it. We more than the others.
      “Last year the engine partly covered the limits of the machine, but this year it is no longer the case.
      “The limits of the machine are emerging. On that point it is clear that we must improve.”
      Meanwhile, the FIA are investigating Antonio Giovinazzi’s terrifying crash that sent a wheel hurtling towards George Russell’s Williams.
      The Brit was forced to take evasive action to swerve out of the way of the wheel that had come loose from Giovinazzi’s Alfa Romeo.
      Russell admitted he was thankful for the halo cockpit protection system and now the FIA are looking into what caused the wheel to break away.
      F1 race director, Michael Masi, said:”Yes it is a concern. Why it became detached I am not 100 per cent sure.
      “Once the car came back to the drop-off area, our technical teams had already started their investigation, taking a number of photos and we’ve got all the available footage.
      “The technical department, together with the safety department, will investigate why [this happened].”

      George Russell ‘thankful’ after F1 star saved by car halo in horror crash with Antonio Giovinazzi at Belgian GP

      by

      GEORGE RUSSELL said he was “very thankful” for the halo cockpit protection system after a dangerous crash with Antonio Giovinazzi.
      The Italian lost control on lap ten and spun into the barriers before his Alfa Romeo was spat into Russell’s path.

      Brit Russell, 22, was involved in the horror crash

      A wheel sheared off Giovinazzi’s motor and was hurtling towards the Williams driver, who was forced to take evasive action to miss striking the debris
      The wheel and suspension unit came dangerously close to the Brit but thankfully only did damage to his car.
      Russell said: “If I went to the right, that’s where Antonio’s car was, and at the left side of the track, I had a massive impact with the tyre.
      “But I have to say you feel much safer in the car now with the halo. When I saw this massive tyre coming towards me, it was quite scary to be honest.

      “So I’m very thankful that we have this halo on the car right now. I’m all fine.
      “Just a little bit frustrated obviously. But that’s racing sometimes.”

      He added: “I was pushing just a little too much, just to stay behind Sebastian.

      “Just too much on the limit, and when you are always on the limit sometimes it will happen, so it’s just this.”

      Lewis Hamilton cruises to Belgian Grand Prix victory to continue his 2020 F1 dominance

      by

      LEWIS HAMILTON notched up a fifth win in seven this year – and told the rest of the grid “I feel better than ever”.
      The 35-year-old started from pole and never looked back as he eased to yet another win at the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa.

      Hamilton said before the race the start would be crucial to victory, and once he got away cleanly from pole position the writing was on the wall.
      Valtteri Bottas was eager to have a go at his team-mate but made to settle for second place behind the six-time world champion.
      Max Verstappen kept pace with the Mercedes but finished in third place in his Red Bull.
      Daniel Ricciardo started and finished fourth in his Renault ahead of team-mate Esteban Ocon with Red Bull’s Alex Albon sixth.

      Hamilton said: “It’s not what everyone always want to see the Mercedes at the front but no matter how much success we have we just keep our heads down.
      “When I go back into the office the guys are thinking how we win the next race. It’s an incredible mentality and we’re continuing to learn about ourselves and the car and improve weekend in and weekend out.
      “I’m 35 going into 36 and feel better than ever.

      “It wasn’t the easiest of races. I had a lock up into turn 5 which started to give a vibration then one in to the last corner. The tyre temperatures were slowly dropping no matter how much I was pushing.

      “It was a little bit of a struggle and I was a bit nervous we might have a scenario like Silverstone towards the end so I was nursing it.
      “But it looks like the tyre has plenty of rubber in it so maybe it was fine and all worry for nothing.”
      Ferrari suffered more embarrassment as Sebastian Vettel finished 13th and Charles Leclerc down in 14th.

      Antonio Giovinazzi and George Russell were both forced out of the race after a nasty collision which resulted in a safety car.
      The Italian spun into the barrier and the wheel that flew off his Alfa Romeo wiped out George Russell’s Williams.
      Both drivers were OK in a collision that could’ve been worse and left debris all over the track.
      McLaren’s Carlos Sainz suffered more Spa heartache as an exhaust failure meant he was unable to start for the second year running.
