Hamilton: Ferrari step not just power

Written By kolimtiga on Rabu, 01 April 2015 | 19.03

By Lawrence Barretto Wednesday, April 1st 2015, 10:02 GMT

Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes, and Sebastian Vettel, Ferrari, Malaysian GP 2015, Sepang

Lewis Hamilton believes Ferrari's "huge step" shows Formula 1 is not just about engine performance as he thinks downforce gains were also pivotal in Sebastian Vettel's Malaysian Grand Prix victory.

Vettel's Sepang win was Ferrari's since the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix, ending a 30-race win drought that was the team's longest in 21 years.

GARY ANDERSON on Ferrari's rapid recovery

Hamilton, who was in dominant form in Australia, was forced to settle for second, one place ahead of Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg after the reigning world champion team was outperformed by Ferrari.

The result followed rapid improvement from a Ferrari team that ended 2014 in fourth in the constructors' championship with just two podiums, but is now the second quickest team on pure pace.

Though its engine gains were hailed during winter testing, Hamilton reckons Sepang showed the entire Ferrari package has taken a leap forward.

"Ferrari have made a huge step," said Hamilton.

"It's great to see Ferrari making such a big step and it is with both the car and the engine.

"A lot of people talk about engines being fast but ultimately it's the car and the downforce which can make just as big a difference."

Hamilton admitted that he was surprised by the pace of Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen, who recovered from a puncture early on to finish fourth.

"We have to give it to them, they did a fantastic job," said Hamilton. "We were not, and I was not, expecting them to be as quick as they were.

"They did an amazing job and had some good pace.

"We knew that they had made a step, we didn't know how big but they were too fast for us."

F1 warned over approach to penalties

By Lawrence Barretto and Matt Beer Tuesday, March 31st 2015, 16:34 GMT

Nico Hulkenberg clashes with Daniil Kvyat, Malaysian GP 2015

Formula 1 must be wary of reverting to a harsher stance on collision penalties says Force India's Bob Fernley, after both his drivers were penalised at the Malaysian Grand Prix.

Last year the FIA decided to show more lenience over driving standards investigations from the British Grand Prix onwards.

Both Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez were given 10-second penalties in quick succession during last Sunday's Sepang F1 race after tangles with Daniil Kvyat and Romain Grosjean respectively, with both drivers feeling the stewards had been excessive.

While Fernley emphasised that Force India accepted the stewards' ruling, he said the decision appeared to be a throwback to the previous rules position.

"It's difficult because I can't see all the data," Fernley told AUTOSPORT.

"You need to look at all the angles the stewards can look at and I think we have to abide by the decisions of the stewards at the end of the day, because they are operating Formula 1.

"But some time ago we looked at it from the point of view that unless it was a blatant or dangerous manoeuvre, we would try to give the benefit of the doubt to racing incidents.

"I just think we have to be careful we don't go back to where we were.

"But equally, we accept fully the decision of the stewards.

"Let's just not air on the side of caution too much and let them race a bit because that's part of the excitement of racing."

Grosjean strongly criticised Perez's driving over team radio after their contact, which happened as the Lotus completed an outside-line pass on the Force India.

Fernley felt Perez had little option in the situation he was in.

"It's a fast corner, Romain was going around the outside, Checo [Perez] was obviously having difficulties in the corner," said Fernley.

"I'm not sure there were a lot of places for Checo to go. I didn't see it as necessarily dangerous.

"It was a strong move from Grosjean, I don't think Checo had a lot of room and it is what it is."

Perez suggested that he would raise his concerns over his Malaysia penalty with the FIA.

"I think we have to try to do something on that but it won't change anything," he said.

F1 must be more affordable - Ferrari

By Dieter Rencken and Lawrence Barretto Wednesday, April 1st 2015, 11:09 GMT

Malaysian GP start 2015

Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene believes Formula 1 needs to become "a bit more affordable" to safeguard its future, but thinks any proposals for standardised cars are too extreme.

The cost of competing in Formula 1 has been high on the agenda after Caterham and Marussia went into administration towards the end of last season.

Marussia required a last-minute rescue package to survive and now run as Manor, while teams including Force India asked F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone for support with their finances before Australia.

Force India deputy team principal Bob Fernley has repeatedly called for a reduction of costs so that independent teams can survive while making the sport more attractive to new entrants.

ARRIVABENE INTERVIEW: The new man in F1's hottest seat

And although Ferrari is among the wealthiest teams on the grid, Arrivabene agrees that something needs to be done.

He insists the situation is being looked at with sufficient seriousness.

"We have to do our best to make Formula 1 a bit more affordable," Arrivabene told AUTOSPORT.

"I have to say it is a work in progress at the moment and everybody - they are really committed."

One of the suggestions to reduce costs is for teams to run a standardised car, but Arrivabene believes that is a step too far.

DIETER RENCKEN explains the 'core car' proposal

"I think that was one of the proposals on the agenda," he said. "You know, sometimes somebody starts from an extreme, which is something else.

"Standardisation in certain parts of the car could be an interesting cost saving way. Of course, not in all of the parts in the car.

"We are Formula 1, not another series where all the cars look the same and there is no spectacle."
