Spotless Win For Hamilton At U.S. Grand Prix

BMW Sauber& 39;s & 39; Lewis Hamilton was relatively easy in the Canadian race to win. But in Indianapolis, he fought every inch of his second success in a row to beat Fernando Alonso only 1.5s after a spell, nerve-racking race.
" What a dream! So come on two routes, which I did not know my first time, really, with such a speed, to see the team always move forward and become more competitive and just to see how much work the team back home, back in Brixworth, in Woking, in Stuttgart, as they all work hard to produce the car to develop and they - they have done a fantastic job and I am really grateful, the only way, because they have not possible would be without her. And the guys here, they are a great bunch of guys. They have a fantastic job on strategy, the establishment of the car. So really, it& 39;s a perfect team, and I am really glad that I could be the icing on the cake " said Alonso Hamilton.
Asked about the pressure on the lap times of 38, the 22-year-old Briton said: & quot; I think the Umschr nken first, the first few rounds, it was very close and then of course I was able to pull a slight residue and wait, and then in the middle restrict the lap from the first two rounds were very good , and then my tire only cereal decided that maybe I pushed too hard they immediately to the right Fernando was my tail, and it was extremely difficult. "
He added: " Obviously he is in my shadow wind all the time, so he would always catch me down the straight And so what I won midfield lose, which I just, and it was very, very hard. But he fought very well, very professionally and at the end I managed to pull a gap, and I was able to maintain that gap and the rest of the race. "
Alonso note: " I think at the beginning it was very close, but I have not managed to overtake Lewis, and from then on, when someone, you lose a bit of downforce and it is difficult, the tires in the state to push all the restrictions, because you may damage the tires a little more, if someone is behind you. I think I have tried to restrict in the middle, and I was side-by-side again, here on the main road straight ahead, but again it was not enough to overtake him and the last stint was just a conservative one. It was very difficult to overtake, very difficult to follow someone so I just started thinking of the French Grand Prix. "
The Spaniard continued: " The beginning is always risky. Eight points are better than nothing, so we increased the gap to Ferrari, is one of the most important things in this first part of the championship. "
Hamilton the second victory increased his lead in the drivers& 39; championship to ten points on Alonso, McLaren are now 35 points ahead of Ferrari in the Constructors& 39; title fight.

"Pancake" Made Cooper A Real Shocker

PML Flight Link, the small British electrical engineering company, from the Mini Cooper is a real shocker. The magic word is the recipe " pancakes ". No, not what you crave for the tempting because of their succulent maple syrup and butter icing on top. " Pancakes " consists of brushless electric motors, a shocking 640 units horsepower.
Flat " pancakes " is PML-speciality. The company makes them for different purposes - marine, military and construction to name just a few. These motors positioned to the Mini Cooper & 39; s 19-inch wheels make it an electrifying Mini. Each wheel contains a similar engine - according to 160 hp. Therefore, an all-wheel-drive is capable of producing 640 horsepower. Maximum speed of the vehicle is estimated to be over 150 mph, with the ability to accelerate from 0 to 60 in just those huge 4.5 seconds.
The electrifying version of the Cooper was previously presented at the automaker of the British International Motor Show in the electrical and -- Vehicle Symposium in Japan. " We have the kind of reinvented the wheel ", said Chris Newman of Flight PML link. Compared with the standard Mini Cooper car parts, the reinvented version comes with outstanding oversized wheels. It is also the wheels, which are an important distinction to the prototypes from all other electric and hybrid cars available this days.
The stroke engine is nothing new for the automotive sector, however, PML claimed that its engines have the most outstanding performance ratio in the industry. PML-engine unit with the mini-Hi-Pa drive inverter weighs 53 kilograms. Moreover, the entire assembly including the wheel-tire is only 4.4 kg heavier than a standard Mini. As a result of the small.
To unsprung weight is the mini-prototype, PML starts with a new Cooper, removed engine, the brakes and the gearbox. What can be found under the hood, the 300-volt lithium-polymer battery and a series of 135 super capacitors. This auto-parts mini improve both the electrical and upper end of the power prototype.
Each wheel motor requires no transmission or differential pressure. In fact, they are only electrically controlled. Wheel motors and the brakes. They take the car of the kinetic energy and converting it into electrical energy. At this point, PML is still not developed a mechanical fuse system.
Under floor rear brake is a 250cc twin-cylinder four-stroke gasoline engine, carting could lead to stable speed to recharge the batteries. The automaker claims of fuel consumption by around 65 mpg. The electrical performance of the prototype is expected to last about four to five with an average speed of 50 mph, before the gas-powered generator fires up to refill the batteries. In addition, the batteries could also be charged from a household electric appliances. This is of PML to avoidable inconvenience.
Unfortunately contrary, the 640 horsepower Mini Cooper prototype is only for the fishing interests of car fans. In addition, those who want to participate in the car can be difficult to separate one. The prototype Mini is at the price of 350000 dollars - more or less. Even the engines and chassis are handmade. However, after PML, mass production of motors and control systems could significantly reduce the price. Although the prototype version of the mass produced, only 2 of potent engines would, in most applications sufficient. PML is looking forward to joint ventures with auto manufacturers and investors, in conjunction with the electric car business. pixel marian
