Titolo: [ENG] Mosley makes high-tech concession

Motorsport boss Max Mosley has offered Formula One's car manufacturers
an olive branch on technology in the row over the future of the sport.
Mosley, president of governing body the FIA, is in talks with car makers
to allow energy retention systems in F1.
These are used in environmentally friendly road cars to store up energy
used during braking to give a power boost for acceleration.
Cars makers were "enthusiastic" about the concept, Mosley told the
Guardian.
The move can be seen as an attempt to reach a compromise in the political
row that is threatening to split F1.
Mosley has offered a low-tech vision of the future of the sport beyond
2007, when the contracts binding the teams to F1 run out.
But five of the sport's car manufacturers are pushing ahead with plans to
set up a rival series because they want F1 to stick with high-technology.
Mika Hakkinen in a McLaren in 1998 McLaren were developing regenerative
power in 1998 only to have it banned
They also want a greater share of F1's revenues, and are upset with what
they see as Mosley's haphazard governance.
And while the idea of regenerative power is likely to be welcomed by the
teams, some may see it as another example of Mosley's lack of
consistency.
That is because McLaren-Mercedes were pioneering a version of
regenerative power in F1 in 1998, only to have it banned by the FIA.
Mosley's suggestion is for the regenerative power systems to be used to
provide drivers with an instant extra 60bhp for around five seconds.
This could improve the racing by enhancing overtaking opportunities.
McLaren managing director Martin Whitmarsh said: "It is the sort of
technical challenge which we would be keen to undertake.
"It's certainly something we would like to get stuck in with," he told
the Guardian.
Mosley is due to meet McLaren team owner Ron Dennis and Red Bull sporting
director Christian Horner this week in what is believed to be an attempt
to resolve some of the differences between the two camps in F1.
It is thought they will try to defuse the tense situation that has arisen
from the fiasco at last month's US Grand Prix, when seven teams refused
to race because Michelin could not guarantee the safety of its tyres.
The FIA, Dennis and Horner would not comment on the meeting when
approached by BBC Sport.

 an olive branch on technology in the row over the future of the sport.
spero che sia solo una manovra per "mercanteggiare".
Si cercerà un compromesso tra la visione low-tech di Mosley e high-tech
dei costruttori. In ottica di una "riconciliazione" e per ripartire
tutti con un unico campionato dal 2008.

_E'_ una mossa stupidamente e palesemente politica, se si vuole
dare la possibilità di un incentivo "momentaneo" alla potenza
per favorire i sorpassi basta una bomboletta di N2O (efficace,
economica, e controllabilissima) senza andare a scomodare sistemi
ultra-tecnologici ed ultra-costosi come i "recuperi di potenza".
P.S.: come fanno in Champ Car? so che hanno un minuto circa di
      "push to pass" ma non so come funzioni tecnicamente...
Ciao.

Beh, dai, il pulsante del boost come nei videogiochi... 
A me già piaceva poco all'epoca del turbo il fatto che se uno voleva
passare "bastava" aprire la manetta e via...

Mi interessa dal punto di vista tecnologico, non da quello 
"spettacolare".
Peraltro, facendo di necessità virtù, meglio un sorpasso agevolato da 
una "spintarella" che un non sorpasso e basta ......
Noto altresì che la FIA sta cominciando a "calare le braghe".
Il che, implicitamente, significa che la minaccia di campionato 
alternativo non viene considerata fine a se stessa o meramente 
propagandistica.
C'è da limare ancora qualcosa e poi chissà .........
