When Schumacher entered F1 there were no onboard speedometers in cars. So as a rookie, when he requested 3 speedometers be fitted to his F1 car, people laughed at him. Today his racing achievements are the stuff of legends. Back then, he wanted to track his speed in 3 ways; in real time, on corner entry (minimum speed), and on corner exit (maximum speed). Using speed tracking, he was able to make more informed decisions about his gearing, braking and throttle application. He consistently outpaced the competition, because they were stuck in their old ways and were not making data driven decisions like Michael. So be sure to couple your skills with informed decision making and you too can achieve meteoric success like F1 world champion, Michael Schumacher.

Alpine is a joke. There is no way they can call themselves a manufacturer team anymore because they will not be making their own F1 engine in which they were doing a crappy job of the last few years. It has been underpowered for more than a few years. If Luca is telling the the truth about how much they spend a year on making the engines then then why have the other manufacturers keep out performing Alpine - Renault engine. Red Bull won with it until they starting getting pissy and complaining about BPH so they switched to Honda and kept on winning. How hard is it to add some extra BPH?? Mercedes, Ferrari, RBR/Honda, have all done it over the last few years. So Alpine will now purchase Mercedes engine and badge it as????? That’s embarrassing and just idiotic. I would sell the team because what’s the Alpine team going to do now? Just design the car, ok. Good luck trying to be the next McLaren who use Mercedes engines but at least they are not parading around trying to be a manufacturer team. They know exactly who they are. Rebadging the team as Alpine when at the time, Alpine made one car. They don’t even sell the cars in NA which is still the biggest car market in the world and for F1. I mentioned this in an article last week. Rebadge the team to Infinity. RBR once did.
