      Ferrari are so far off the F1 pace they could be mistaken for amateurs – their mistakes are laughable

      by

      IT is incredible to think that Ferrari are heading into this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix at Monza in an even worse position than they were 12 months ago.In December they replaced long-serving employee Mattia Binotto as team principal with Fred Vasseur.

      But it is clear that any hopes of the Frenchman bringing an immediate upturn in results have been firmly extinguished.
      In fact, it is difficult to see what improvements – if any at all – have been made since Vasseur was installed as the boss of F1’s most famous team.
      Reliability is still a problem. Aerodynamically the car is unpredictable. Operationally, the mistakes are laughable and consequently the team’s drivers are shot of confidence.
      Put simply, Ferrari have been made to look so embarrassingly off the pace by Red Bull Racing, they could be mistaken for amateurs.

      Look at the numbers. They are currently 339 points behind Red Bull in the championship and find themselves in fourth place in the constructors’ table.
      After last year’s Italian GP they were 139 points shy to Red Bull but still held a credible second-place in the standings.
      Of course, you could easily accuse any team in F1 of not doing well enough at the moment as Red Bull dominates, but this is Ferrari.
      Vasseur is not the problem, the operational mistakes have been plain to see since Ferrari last won a constructors’ championship title in 2008.

      The issue I have is that I am not too sure he is the solution for Ferrari either.
      Ferrari say they have learned from their mistakes in 2023 and will put them right next season, only we have heard all this before.
      But this time the board of the great Italian car manufacturer must be running out of patience with F1, particularly when they saw their investment at Le Mans pay off handsomely with a win in the 24 Hour race.
      Their performance in the Dutch GP however, was again toe-curlingly bad, with pitstops that would not look out of place in a Benny Hill sketch.

      Contract talks between Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes appear to be at a stalemateCredit: PA
      Carlos Sainz said they were the “sixth-fastest car” during the race, adding: “I know at some point it looked that we could even fight for a podium, but the reality is that when the race was settled when you look at our pace we were just nowhere.”
      F1’s popularity across the world is booming but so far, Ferrari are just making up the numbers – and for those at Maranello, that is simply not good enough.

      I ASKED Lewis Hamilton about his Mercedes contract in Zandvoort [you may remember his failure to sign a new deal was the subject of last week’s column].
      I asked if there was an update, or any news he could share with us, to which he replied “Nope”. It seems as though they really are at a stalemate and one wonders what impact this is having within the team.

      Zhou Guanyu’s crash proves the current generation of F1 cars is not suitable for rainCredit: Getty
      I HAVE a very serious concern that this current generation of F1 cars is not suitable whenever it rains.
      The Dutch GP was another case in point as the race stewards took another conservative approach when it was wet.
      The red flag when Zhou Guanyu crashed at Turn One was understandable as they needed to make repairs to the barriers and recover his car, however, it was some of their other decision-making which makes me fear wherever we have a wet race.
      The issue is that visibility is now the main problem for drivers, rather than a lack of grip, caused in part by the aerodynamic properties of these cars.
      They are designed to use the floors of the cars, sucking them closer to the ground and subsequently dispelling the air – and in the case of rain standing water – upwards.
      Add in the water already being sent upwards by the tyres and you have a mushroom effect of spray, which is the problem.
      F1 are now considering ways to introduce mugrads over the wheels to reduce the spray thrown up, with tests planned for later in the year.
      I hope it cures the problem because we are being denied the chance to witness the excitement caused by a wet race.

      Premier League stars’ luxury cars including Ferrari found in shipping containers on the way to Dubai after being stolen

      by

      TWO Premier League stars have had their flash luxury cars returned to them after the vehicles were found in shipping containers headed for Dubai.The supercars recovered by the Essex Police’s Stolen Vehicle Intelligence Unit were a Ferrari and a Range Rover.

      So far this year, the force’s team has recovered 517 cars or parts of vehicles with a combined value of more than £16million.
      The two players, who have not been identified but have more than 100 international caps between them, had their cars stolen in neighbouring counties.
      The SVIU’s PC Paul Gerrish, PC Phil Pentelow and analyst Hannah Gerrish, tracked down the vehicles to shipping containers which were due to travel to Dubai from London Gateway Port in Thurrock.
      As yet, no arrests have been made in connection to the vehicle thefts.
      Read More on Stolen Cars
      It’s thought once a car is stolen, thieves may look to quickly sell it on, even for a price well below its market value, or strip it for parts or even ship the whole vehicle  to areas such as the Middle East or Africa, where it can be sold for two or three times its cost in the UK.
      The thieves or handlers of the stolen vehicles may obtain false or cloned identities before selling it on to an unsuspecting member of the public in the UK or even distribute them to other criminals.
      Essex Police launched Operation Ignition this summer which saw the SVIU, Roads Policing and investigators work together to break up the criminal gangs behind the thefts.
      The SVIU has managed to return vehicles to hundreds of victims from family saloons to supercars.
      Most read in Football
      PC Gerrish said: “Every stolen car is important to us and we work as hard as we can to get them back to their owners.
      “When you phone someone up and tell them we’ve got their car with their kids’ car seats and the pushchair in the back, or other personal items, it’s hugely satisfying.
      “We are creating a hostile environment for car thieves. We know what to look for and we know how and where they operate.”
      One of the Premier League footballers went to the SVIU base to be reunited with his car and praised the team’s work.
      PC Pentelow said: “He was genuinely thankful and taken aback by the lengths we had gone to.
      “His car was clearly very dear to him, and he was very impressed with the service he’d had from the police.
      “Even though he plays for one of my team’s biggest rivals, he was a nice guy and down-to-earth. It was good to help him.”
      The SVIU team work with manufacturers including Jaguar Land Rover, Ford, BMW and Mercedes-Benz to improve vehicle security.
      The team recommends drivers learn about their car’s vulnerabilities by watching videos online and check the website Secured by Design to find recommended safety devices for your car and think about getting a Disklok.
      However, they say the biggest vulnerability is people leaving their vehicles unlocked.
      PC Pentelow said: “Double lock it and check it. We still see CCTV where people’s cars aren’t locked.”
      In July this year, the Essex Police’s SVIU team recovered cars and car parts worth £1m, in one of their most successful weeks ever.
      The unit recovered high-end cars including a Rolls-Royce, a Bentley Bentayga, alongside several Range Rovers and BMWs.

      In recent months they have located and recovered a range of Ferraris and Aston Martins.
      A Rolls-Royce Cullinan recovered during recent operations was worth more than £360,000 alone.

      Lewis Hamilton ‘talks to Ferrari chief EVERY race’, fuelling speculation over sensational F1 team transfer

      by

      LEWIS HAMILTON has sparked talk of a stunning transfer to Ferrari after it was revealed he speaks to Fred Vasseur at every race. Ferrari team principal Vasseur confirmed he and the 38-year-old speak at every Grand Prix.
      Lewis Hamilton’s contract situation remains uncertainCredit: Splash

      He also said they have a close bond, owing to when Hamilton raced under Vasseur in his title-winning GP2 season in 2006 – which led the Brit to getting an F1 seat with McLaren in 2007.
      But seven drivers titles later, Hamilton is now one of the faces of the sport.
      Vasseur, 55, places him alongside Max Verstappen and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc as the best on the grid.
      And he is not ignorant to Hamilton’s contract situation at current team Mercedes, which is set to expire at the end of the season.
      READ MORE IN F1
      Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Frenchman Vasseur explained his relationship with Hamilton, saying: “I talk to him at every GP, he raced for me 20 years ago and we are still close.
      “I helped him when he went to McLaren at the beginning of his F1 career and we talk from time to time. 
      “Clearly if we are seen together in the paddock a fuss comes out, but the relationship has remained.
      “I don’t want to compare him to our drivers, it would not make sense. But the contribution of a top driver is not only driving.”

      He continued: “It’s also technical, strategy, help in hiring an engineer. And in this case, if you have Hamilton, Verstappen but also Leclerc it’s easier.
      “People who work in F1 are passionate about racing, they like to work with champions.”
      With the mid-season break in full swing, Hamilton has been enjoying some time away from the track.
      And according to some sensational reports, he has been spending some of that time with singer Shakira.
      The pair having sparked dating rumours after being spotted together over the last few months.
      Shakira is claimed to have snuck Hamilton into her luxury Ibiza villa on three separate occasions.
      Hamilton finished P4 at the Belgian Grand Prix almost three weeks ago but must until August 27 before he gets racing again at the Dutch Grand Prix.

      Michael Schumacher update as F1 pal Rubens Barrichello opens up about his relationship with stricken legend

      by

      RUBENS Barrichello has opened up about his relationship with Michael Schumacher – nine years after the F1 legend’s tragic accident.The Brazilian driver, 51, admitted that his former teammate “was better than me, no doubt”, but “never supportive”.

      Barrichello became a fundamental part of a Ferrari dream team that dominated Formula 1 in the early 2000s.
      “The car was super, the team worked well, it was a good relationship between everyone and there was harmony in terms of performance. We were able to go and conquer the world,” he told Formula1.com .
      But while Schumacher conquered five successive world titles between 2000 and 2004, “Rubinho” was dutifully left to play second fiddle on several occasions.
      “I always say he was better than me, no doubt,” he admitted.
      read more on michael schumacher
      “But because he was already there from ’96, he had four years [in the team], he had gone through the injury, and obviously Jean Todt considered him like a son, so it was tough for someone new to come in and say ‘ok give me the freedom'”.
      The driver remembers telling the Scuderia he would not sign the contract if he had to “let Michael go ahead”.
      “I didn’t want to sign,” he said.
      “My contract said nothing about that.
      Most read in Motorsport
      “For my benefit I accepted so many things, there were many things I did not accept, but some I did because I saw I was growing there.
      “For six years I saw I was going forward and my time was coming.”
      Although Barrichello says he had a good relationship with the German ace, he felt Schumacher only raced for himself and was never a “supportive” teammate.
      “I always made friends and I’ve always had a good relationship with all my teammates,” Barrichello told the Beyond the Grid podcast.
      Asked if he included Schumacher on that list, he said: “I do.
      “But he was never supportive.
      “He was never there to offer help so I never asked.
      “Michael was different, he was a bit naive in the way that he worked.
      “So many times we’d finish a meeting and then they’d start another one with just Michael there so I’d took my chair and would just sit there.
      “Eventually I felt that the team was his.”
      During his time at Williams Racing, Barrichello once screamed that Schumacher “tried to kill him” and nearly “sending him to heaven” in a 200 mph horror move during the Hungarian Grand Prix.
      Head-to-head and competing for a single point, Schumacher almost pushed his counterpart into the barrier.
      “I am lucky to be alive. It was a go-kart manoeuvre,” Barrichello said in a furious response.
      “If he wants to go to heaven, in the event he is going to heaven, I don’t want to go before him.
      “Thank God, I was lucky the wall finished where it did because I was millimetres from it.”

      In 2013, three years after the dangerous Hungarian GP battle, Schumacher suffered a brain injury in a skiing accident and was put in a coma for six months.
      Now, he resides in his Switzerland home away from the world as he continues to recover.

      The 220mph 3.0-litre V10 cherry-red Ferrari is being sold by RM Sotheby’s with a jaw-dropping price tag of £6million.
      An RM Sotheby’s spokesperson said: “Amongst the most desirable of any modern-era grand prix cars in existence, chassis 215 played a significant role in the early days of the 2002 Formula 1 World Championship.
      “Campaigned by Michael Schumacher in his historic fifth Championship-winning season, it boasts a first place finish at the 2002 Australian Grand Prix and 3rd at the 2002 Malaysian Grand Prix, after qualifying on pole.

      A similar car driven by Schumacher in the same season sold in 2017 for a whopping £5.9million.
      “The previous season, the factory had been developing the F2002, but it proved to be hindered by issues, which led the team to choose to continue with the use of the previous season’s highly reliable F2001 car, incorporating various upgrades from the 2002,” the spokesperson added.
      They also told how following the vehicle’s success on the track, it passed through the hands of a Swiss collector before entering the collection of the consignor.
      “Chassis 215 is one of very few machines to never finish outside the podium positions during its competition career, and this presents an unrepeatable opportunity to acquire an iconic machine of the modern formula one era,” they said.

      The auction takes place between August 16 and August 19.
      It comes after the German racing icon was involved in a devastating ski crash accident in 2013 while on the slopes above Méribel in the French Alps.
      He fell and hit his head on a rock while crossing an off-piste area – suffering a serious head injury despite wearing a ski helmet.
      Doctors said he would most likely have died had he not been wearing the safety gear, and the world champ was airlifted to Grenoble Hospital.
      He was put into a medically induced coma after suffering what was described as a “traumatic brain injury”.
      The former Ferrari and Mercedes driver was brought out of the coma in June 2014 and was released to go and rehabilitate at his home in Gland, Switzerland.
      The 53-year-old now lives a private life with his family with the tragic ski accident coming just over a year after he retired from F1 in 2012.
      He mounted a brief comeback for three seasons with the new Mercedes team after initially hanging up his helmet in 2006.
      In 2021, his family broke their eight-year silence on the seven-time world champion’s condition in a Netflix documentary examining his illustrious career.
      His wife Corinna explained in the Netflix interview: “We’re together. We live together at home. We do therapy.

      Paul waited 18 months to get his hands on the rare Ferrari, which cost him £330,000.
      And at first, he admitted: “I’m nervous to drive this thing. It’s so nice that I just don’t even… I’m just going to leave here.”
      It turns out Paul, 26, probably should have after taking the motor for a spin and getting a little too carried away.
      Having done one too many doughnuts, the “low beam failure” warning popped up and the American was advised to go back to the dealer.

      “Like nothing else, just like, ‘You’ve ruined the car. Go to the dealership now.'”

      I was an F1 world champion but now I make ice cream on my 2,500-acre Hampshire farm

      A FORMER Formula One world champion is now enjoying huge success running an organic farm that specialises in producing buffalo mozzarella and ice cream.This 73-year-old raced in F1 from 1972 to 1980 and won the Drivers’ Championship in 1979 with Ferrari.

      And he still holds a place in the history books as the only South African ever to be crowned F1 king.
      He competed for the likes of McLaren, Tyrell and Wolf before ending his career at Ferrari and won ten Grands Prix and enjoyed a total of 33 podium finishes prior to retirement in 1980.
      The icon went on to work for several broadcasters covering the sport but is now setting the pace in a completely different type of way.
      The man in question is Jody Scheckter – the last man to win a championship for Ferrari until the legendary Michael Schumacher ended a 21-year wait in 2000.
      READ MORE F1 NEWS
      He originally moved to America following his racing career and started up a firearms company for the police and military.
      Then he decided to relocate to Hampshire in England and bought 500 acres of land.
      Scheckter intended to build a farm to produce organic, healthy food for his family but soon realised too much meat would be going to waste.
      That led to him purchasing the nearby Laverstoke Park Farm, which is spread across 2,500 acres of land, and now it is widely-known across the UK.

      It annually hosts the CarFest South, a three-day festival that features music and motorcars and other activities to raise cash for BBC Children in Need and other children’s charities and is attended by more than 28,000 people.
      And it is also the base for hit ITV show Sugar Free Farm.
      Scheckter built a charcuterie factory and an abattoir slaughterhouse on it and now makes mozzarella and ice cream.
      He told NS Agriculture: “I have always felt organic is the best way to ensure that – and I still believe that now.
      “We decided to cut down on a lot of our products that were not making money.
      “At one point we had over 120 products in the online supermarket Ocado because we were producing a lot in the abattoir, but it was crazy.
      “So now we’re concentrating on our buffalo mozzarella and ice cream.
      “Pret a Manger has been our biggest customer and, alongside Ocado, we’re now in Waitrose and many restaurants.”
      Scheckter pumped his own money into the farm for over 12 years but eventually realised the business had to stand on its own feet.
      Laverstoke now has around 1,000 ewes, 25 rams and is expected to have over 1,500 lambs after the spring.
      It also has around 23 native Angus cows, an Angus bull and 450 water buffaloes.
      Scheckter added: “Now we are a normal farm and it is now making a profit, because it is running as a farm instead of producing for the factories.
