Formula One In russia. Survey of 2001

there is no doubt, which in Germany is necessary for the decorators of signboards especially not easily: Germans have the unique ability to invent slozhnosostavnye words, using the prefixes of every kind and the postfixes for refining their sense. As a result, appear linguistic whims like "unzusammenhangend" ("not interconnected") or "oberflachenspannung" ("surface stress"), and also geographical names like Myunkhshvanderkhof or Klyaynkhartmanndorf.

For the foreigners, for example, the same journalists of formula -1, writing the names of German racers generally task insurmountable, and often, in Xa1nqa- Harold frenttsen's surname letter "Q" occurs before "t". Such is encountered continuously yes by a number, to take at least the already become by classical journalistic orthographical errors like "stilring Moss" and "dyuzheki Styurat".

Where to the already such inattentive correspondents OF THE MEDIA it is correct to write the surname Of bernda Of pishetsridera (which on the pages of some printed publications, for example, completely can assume the form Of "pishetsrayder")? However, in the near future for journalists it is necessary to memorize its writing: this person will bring with himself profound changes.

Pishetsrider (and this the only correct version of this surname) recently frequently appeared in the news issues with the statements, that, after engaging the post of chairman Volkswagen during April 2002, it will not allow company to participate in the formula -1. Probably, so it will be. It simply will wait the pair of months.

Proved to be, by the way that Mr. pishetsrider - very that not on is a fan of auto-races. He constantly appears at the stages of formula -1 in order without fail to be up to date in entire in proceeding. Other colleagues for administration Volkswagen also repeatedly attended races, always remaining in this case in the shadow and being disguised under the guests of championship.

Give not we will forget, which when in 1997 was declared, which BMW will begin to participate in the formula -1 in the person of command Williams, then this statement made precisely Pishetsrider. Specifically, it was the initiator of that idea, understanding entire value of sport, after it tested all charms of the success of company in the formula -1 at the post of chapter BMW in the 80th years. When in 1993 it became chairman BMW, then the council of directors began to convince, what formula -1 - successful idea. The ascending of command to the success engaged several years, but now no one and visualize can another outcome.

Unfortunately for Pishetsridera, after appearance of Rover Group for it it was necessary to compete with the chapter of the division of sales and marketing of Wolfgang rayttsle for control BMW. as a result, council decided to exclude both rivals, after which Rayttsle left in Ford, and Pishetsrider - in Volkswagen.

Pishetsrider belongs to those, who values history. Is small to whom this known, but it consists of the related relations according to the wife with sir Alekom By issigonisom (how it greatly is proud), inventor Mini. This also played its role in history Rover.

In Volkswagen even more colorful history, and it is tied on the man on the name Of khorch. It established similar automobile company, but, without having paid off on the demands of creditors, it decided to forego the use of a previous name. Being the educated person, it simply transferred its surname to the Latin ("horch" it means "to hear"), and its new enterprise it began to be called Audi. Later than Audi merged with another company, and this association began to bear name AutoUnion.

This name cannot but cause trembling in any racer, indeed machines AutoUnion, designed in the 30's of Ferdinand porshe, were very competitive. World War II everything changed, after which again arose Audi, and in the beginning of the 80th grandson Porshe, Ferdinand pikh, it established the program of its participation in the championship on ralli. It followed the success in TransAm and IMSA, and also the tourist automobiles of company in Europe.

The sport models Audi conquered two victories contract in the the twenty-four-hour Le Mans. For a period of 10 years Audi it were attempted to dostich' the level of "fitness" for the formula -1. As early as 1991 walked rumors about the fact that the specialists of company completed design studies of engines V10 and V12, and in 1992 already began to be conducted the negotiations with McLaren (later this acknowledged officially), with positive outcome of which Audi could replace for command Honda.

Soon at the post Of pikha's chapter Volkswagen will replace Pishetsrider, and it, undoubtedly, are very interested in the success of its enterprise. However, success is ensured by the high level of sales.

Example of many companies already proved that better the participation in the formula -1 as cannot better stimulates sales to organization, even if its command does not gain victories. Actually, the prestige of participating in the "royal races" automobile company only grows in the course of time.

So that it does not cost Pishetsrideru it takes a long time to consider, indeed basic auto manufacturers already consist of the partnership with the commands to formula -1. Possibly, this is the strongest factor of motivation, but Pishetsridera also must draw the possibility to confuse its former rival on BMW, Rayttsle, after destroying in the future Jaguar (command Ford in the formula -1).

After its designation during September Of pishetsrider it was occupied with the formulation of further strategy Audi: he said that the company needs more aggressive policy relative to some its trade marks: Audi, Bugatti, Lamborghini and Seat. Audi, being the straight rival BMW and Mercedes- benzo, the most optimum stamp for the introduction into the formula -1.

Walked rumors about the restructuring of company, and recently Pishetsrider declared, which will create the sport subdivision of the company, when control over the firm will take. Into its composition will enter brands Audi, Seat and Lamborghini. But this means that to program Bentley Le Mans will arrive the end. It is possible to make also the assumption that the machines, in their time renamed in Audi, now again will become Lamborghini. Seat it will begin more actively to participate in the championship of ralli. It is obtained, to brand Audi it will not remain nothing, except what is to be done inculcated in the formula -1.

By all it is obvious that participation Volkswagen in the formula -1 only an question of time. Even boss Mercedes- benzo Jurgen khubbert reported to German journalists that it were confident in the fact that program Audi in Le Mans - this is the "first step into the formula -1".
