Крах Vodafone: Крупнейший в мире оператор сотовой связи, британский Vodafone Group, объявил о чистых убытках в размере 32 млрд евро по итогам 2005-2006 финансового года, завершившегося 31 марта 2006г. Компания связывает плохие финансовые показатели с переоценкой стоимости некоторых активов.

А еще желание на огромной скорости обогнать Ирвайна, в том месте, где это черевато последтвиями..

Только почти вся команда работала на одного пилота. Второй был довеском.

As part of the expansion of our wind tunnel, we are recruiting at all levels to help us achieve our goal of building an efficient and highly capable aero design facility. The following positions are currently available:

Senior Aerodynamicist / Aero Team Leader
With a minimum of 5 years experience as an F1 aerodynamicist, with the technical and organisational skills to match, you will lead a small team of Aerodynamicists and Model Designers on the continuing Aero development of many aspects of the car.
As a key member of our aerodynamics team, you will also be involved on a much higher level in all aspects of the aerodynamic design of the car, and your ideas and methodologies will directly influence the path of our future aerodynamic development.

Aerodynamicists
Under the supervision of the Senior Aerodynamicists, you will be working toward the design and optimisation of components, overseeing test preparations, running wind tunnel programmes and performing subsequent data analysis.
The successful applicants will be expected to quickly integrate into the current design team, and will be actively involved in many aspects of the aerodynamic development of the car. A good degree in Engineering and previous experience of wind tunnel testing within a motorsport environment is required. A working knowledge of CAD (Catia V5 preferable) and CFD would be a distinct advantage.

CFD Engineers
This position will involve performing CFD analysis, from mesh creation through to post-processing, supporting the aerodynamicists on a range of projects within the aerodynamics department.
Successful candidates will have a good understanding of the latest CFD methods, combined with experience of 3D CAD systems, mesh generation, post-processing and data analysis. Previous experience in applying CFD to complex configurations and a good working knowledge of UNIX, Linux and PC platforms and applications would be advantageous.
Candidates must also possess a flair for problem solving, be practical and flexible in their approach to work, and be able to work as part of a team with minimum supervision.

Wind Tunnel Design Engineers
As part of a small design team, you will be responsible for the modelling and detailing of components for the wind tunnel model to fulfil the aerodynamic test requirements. A good working knowledge of Catia V5, a mechanical design background, and previous wind-tunnel model design experience would be advantageous.

Model Makers (Day and Night Shift)
We are seeking model makers to blend into our current model shop structure, where you will be involved in all manufacture, instrumentation, maintenance and installation of our wind tunnel models. You will also assist in the operation of the wind tunnel, undertaking model changes during testing and perform general tunnel related maintenance tasks.
The successful candidates will:
• demonstrate motivation, commitment and a willingness to work as part of a dedicated team
• be practical and flexible in their approach to their work.
• be willing to work shifts and flexible hours.
Previous wind tunnel experience would be advantageous, but not essential.

Tunnel Technicians (Day and Night Shift)
The successful candidates will be expected to be able to work as part of a dedicated team, with minimum supervision, where you will be involved in the operation of the wind tunnel, undertaking model changes during testing and performing general tunnel related maintenance tasks.
The successful candidates will:
• Be able to work as part of a dedicated team, with minimum supervision;
• demonstrate motivation, drive and commitment and willingness to work as part of a team.
• be practical and flexible in their approach to their work.
• be willing to work shifts and flexible hours.
Previous wind tunnel experience would be advantageous, but not essential.

Tunnel Support Engineer
We are seeking a Tunnel Support Engineer whose main responsibility will be to ensure that the maintenance, instrumentation, and installation of our wind tunnel and wind tunnel models are kept to a high standard. You will also assist in the operation of the wind tunnel, undertaking model changes during testing and perform general tunnel related maintenance tasks.
The successful candidates will:
• demonstrate motivation, commitment and a willingness to work as part of a dedicated team
• show a flair for problem solving and the ability to work under pressure.
• be practical and flexible in their approach to their work.
• be willing to work shifts and flexible hours.
Previous wind tunnel experience would be advantageous, but not essential.
Enthusiasm, and a flexible team-working attitude, and the ability to work to tight deadlines are essential.

Composites Design Engineer
Reporting to the head of composite design, we are seeking a motorsport experienced designer to take on major projects within our composites design section .The Ideal candidate will have a formal engineering qualification,at least 2 years design experience and also some practical experience of composite structure manufacture. Familiarity with CATIA V5 would be an advantage.

Control Systems Track Support Engineer
You will be required to provide track support for the chassis and gearbox control systems fitted to the cars. This will involve configuring and calibrating the control systems, monitoring them to ensure that they are functioning correctly and carrying out any necessary fault diagnosis/rectification. You will work closely with other members of the team to develop the control strategies as well as the associated software tools for system configuration, data analysis, etc.
The successful candidate will have a good degree in a relevant engineering discipline. They will have a number of years experience in the design and development of control systems strategies and software using C/Visual Basic/Matlab/Simulink and of providing track support for similar systems in Formula 1.

Херберт - в Бенеттоне у Шумахера в контракте не было написано что он намбер 1, да и не было там особо "командной тактики" как у Феррари

Ирвайн - что он "может" мы видели в сезоне 99
Австралия - 1я его победа. При выбывших из борьбы Шумахере, Хаккинене и Култхарде.
Австрия - Култхард сталкивается с Хаккиненым на старте, в результате победу получает Ирвайн. Шумахер смотрит гонку по телевизору.
Германия - победу Ирвайну дарит заменивший Шумахера Мика Сало.
Далее у Феррари полный провал, особенно в квалификациях. Местами даже хуже чем в сезоне 2005.
Малайзия - победу Ирвайну дарит вернувшийся из внеочередного отпуска Шумахер.
Остается гонка в Японии. И что мы видим? Мика побеждает, Михаэль второй. Эдди не может за ними угнаться.

Бубенс - гонялся неплохо местами. Даже весьма неплохо. Несколько раз подстраховывал Шумахера, когда у того были проблемы. Но вот в то что он "дал бы прикурить", я не верю. Не дал бы он прикурить.

Ну Кими же тоже в Нюрбурге хотел обогнать. Результат - квадратное колесо и сход. Зато похвально.

И что за, извиняюсь за выражение, бредовые домыслы о каком-то шоке? Ну смешно ей богу.

можешь с этим не соглашаться, но это далеко не лишено смысла...

не от того ли, что был в шоке от того, что эдька посмел бороться с ним за позицию(и выиграл её) на старте?

я понял, что ma][ot и Zharun будут тут долго выяснять отношения.

Другое дело, как это может сказаться на McLaren.

VLOM Спасибо, что оформил гонку

шум не ожидал от эдьки такой прыти, расчитывав, что тот, как обычно покорно уступит ему лыжню, но эдька этого делать нестал, красиво обойдя шума в первых поворотах. естественно миша был в шоке!
