Sport an innovation go hand in hand. Ice skating is known for its constant renovations skates known in the suits Swimming Aqua-profit dynamics, but what about Formula One?
Fernando Alonso, the Formula One World Championship twice, the last time in 2006, won driving a Renault. Now, after years at McLaren he is back with Renault and he is pretty sure that he will not reach the podium this year. How is that possible? What has changed?
Formula One is a sport that, unlikemany others, where not only the players (the driver) matter, but also their equipment (vehicles). There are few other sports where this dual relationship is so deep. This makes it always so difficult to determine where there is a potential problem: Is it the driver or the vehicle? "The team reached the pinnacle of performance during the seasons 2005 and 2006, the drivers 'and constructors' world championship win in two seasons in an historic double-double performance." (1)
Apparently a lotis on the vehicle. "The new single-seater superior traction has lost capacity in relation to the former R27." There are also earo-dynamic changes that spoil the agility of the vehicle. (2)
After the sports daily "Marca", the Renault team has contracted 526 employees to make the new R28 just as competitive as possible. "Without Alonso, Renault struggled in 2007 because of construction errors in their car and problems adapting to the control, the tires were in the pastSeason. "(3)
The car is in winning the major championships. "And it's clear that Ferrari is one of the best." (Cars, says Alonso). (4)
Obviously, Formula One is not only the fastest race, the pace is also steady innovation. Each year there are changes and improvements to the vehicles and those who can not keep up end-up behind him.
