Red Bull, creadores de la peligrosa bebida para jóvenes suspendió a una empleada que acuso a Cristian Horner de " mala conducta". 
Horner es ejecutivo que apenas se salvo de ser sancionado por "Conducta inapropiada".
La información no es muy precisa en el sentido de lo que Horner hizo o que no hizo, para que la mujer fuera suspendida y él queda sin culpa alguna. Eso puede caer en la discriminación. 
Cabe mencionar que en Europa la mujer es súper maltratada y los hombres son más machistas y en especial son muy celosos y golpeadores. En México, por decir un ejemplo el comportamiento hacia las mujeres por parte de los hombres es tan injusto desagradable y hay muchos feminicidios. 
Bien, pues este asunto del Día Internacional de la Mujer, apunta con el dedo a RED BULL empresa que quedó muy mal ante el Mundo y como una marca de poco sentido humano, y precisamente cuando se recuerda el Día Internacional de la Mujer con marcha "8M". 
Cristian Horner, por su parte es un tipo muy despojado de educación, por lo que se puede apreciar. Muchas mujeres opinan muy mal de esa bebida por culpa de Cristian Horner. 
Una mujer líder que participa en la M8 en México, pidió a sus congéneres que no beban "esa porquería Red Bull, que si por casualidad la combinan mal con alcohol puede agravar la salud de un joven y tomen en cuenta que la juventud son el sector social que más consumen bebidas con químicos no buenos y según son para tener energía". 
Bueno, pues el agresivo Horner fue protegido exageradamente por Red Bull en vez de someterlo o suspenderlo, no fue así. La mujer que lo acusó está en shok pues como miles de personas se sorprendió de la actitud de la empresa que por cierto está pagando muy caro por esta información que tomo cause mundial y detalla como Red Bull sostiene a Cristian, con todo y su mala conducta.  
Red Bull es la marca que tiene a Checo Pérez en sus filas y por este detalle se está yendo al excusado con todo y su "sabor" de la bebida que se considera altamente dañina. Pero en México por la corrupción e intereses creados en Fórmula Uno, OCESA, y en general en antros cantinas, bares, centros comerciales les permiten vender su producto. No se sabe si ya han sancionado a Red Bull, por ser un producto tan malo para la salud. Es más, todos piensan en las carreras F1 para "fifis donde corren dos autos con la imagen RED BUL. Pero que futuro tiene este deporte de la velocidad que ningunea a medios de comunicación que hoy le devuelven la afrenta a F1 de una forma contundente. En México - como mi un dato extra sobre la vivencia real de las mujeres- cada dos horas matan a una según  estadísticas, pero las funcionarias, dicen mentiras con otros datos para salvar su incapacidad e ignorancia de como detener tanta violencia. Y las fiscalías unas veces son buenas y otras veces fallan. Esa es la verdad. 

Red Bull opaca el Día de la Mujer, suspendió a empleada que acusó a Cristian Horner!!

Suma Checo su sexta victoria en su trajín por las mejores pistas del mundo y es el primer piloto en obtener la corona en la carrera en Bakú, por segunda ocasión sorprendiendo a los fanáticos de la velocidad. 
Mucha controversia se ha gestado en el equipo de Red Bull Checo versus Verstappen. Por sobre ese problema interno, Checo, quedó a 6 puntos de él. Ferrari tuvo tercer lugar con Charles Lederc y los tres subieron al templete para la lluvia de Champagne y manos alzadas de felicidad. Humo y confeti bañaron a estos tres figurones del volante.

Formula E has been ranked as the Best Total Performer from more than 300 global sports organisations in the 2022 Global Sustainability Benchmark in Sports (GSBS) annual report.


GSBS is an independent, global not-for-profit organisation, which analyses and benchmarks the sustainability performance of professional sports organisations through an unbiased, science-driven and data-based process.

The study analysed more than 50 elite sports organisations of more than 300 invited to take part.  Sports federations and leagues ranked in the report include the NFL, NBA, FIFA, Formula 1, UFC and WWE as well as clubs including the New York Yankees, FC Barcelona, LA Lakers, Dallas Cowboys, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United.

Formula E achieved a record-breaking benchmark score to win Best Total Performance 2022. Formula E was also ranked highest in three of the remaining four categories: Best Corporate Performance, Best Environmental Performance, and Best Governance Performance. Italian football club Juventus won the Best Social Performance title.

Jamie Reigle, Chief Executive Officer, Formula E, said:

“Setting the global standard for sustainability in sport has been a core characteristic of Formula E since we began in 2014. We welcome the top ranking by GSBS as recognition for the dedication of our employees, teams and partners. We also acknowledge the efforts and achievements in sustainability by other major sports organisations around the world and welcome that progress. Together, we have the potential to engage billions of fans in the mission to combat climate change and make a positive difference to the lives of future generations.”

Christian Hartmann, Chief Executive Officer, GSBS, said:

"Formula E impressed us at the GSBS on several levels. Overall, their corporate structure and processes reflect their commitment to sustainability. We assess a wide range of data points, environmental, social, governance, and business factors, and in each area, both the amount of data available and annual trends lead the industry. Sustainability is literally lived in Formula E, and the entire team's dedication was felt throughout the audit process. In combination, this has resulted in Formula E receiving a GSBS Award in 4 out of 5 categories and we are looking forward to documenting the development in the years to come."

Now entering Season 9, the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship mission is to accelerate the uptake of electric vehicles. The championship also operates as a testbed to push the development of new technologies needed for an electric, low-carbon future. Leading international car brands including Jaguar, Maserati, McLaren, Mahindra, Nissan and Porsche are among the 11 teams in the championship.

Formula E is the only sport in the world to achieve net zero since inception and is a founding member of UNICEF’s Safe and Healthy Environment Fund, specifically designed to help and educate children affected by climate change.

Ahead of the first race of Season 9 in Mexico City on 14 January, pre-season testing is underway in Valencia this week where the all-new Gen3 race car is on track for the first time.

The Gen3 is the fastest, lightest, most powerful and efficient electric race car ever built. Key sustainability characteristics of the Gen3 include:

  • The carbon footprint of the Gen3 has been measured from the design phase to inform all reduction measures taken to reduce environmental impact, while all unavoidable emissions are offset as part of Formula E’s net zero carbon commitment.

  • Linen and recycled carbon fibre are used in bodywork construction for the first time in a formula car featuring recycled carbon fibre from retired Gen2 cars and reducing the overall amount of virgin carbon fibre used. This reduces the carbon footprint of the production of the Gen3 bodywork more than 10%. All waste carbon fibre will be reused for new applications through adoption of an innovative process from the aviation industry.

  • Gen3 batteries are among the most advanced, sustainable batteries ever made consisting of sustainably-sourced minerals while battery cells will be reused and recycled at end of life.

  • Natural rubber and recycled fibres make up 26% of new Gen3 tyres and all tyres will be fully recycled after racing.

  • All Gen3 suppliers operate in line with top international standards to reduce environmental impacts of manufacturing (ISO 14001) and be FIA Environmental Accreditation 3-Star rated.

  • Fastest Formula E car yet with a top speed over 322 kph / 200 mph.

  • Most efficient formula racing car ever with more than 40% of the energy used within a race produced by regenerative braking.

  • Around 95% power efficiency from an electric motor delivering up to 350kW of power (470BHP), compared to approximately 40% for an internal combustion engine.

  • First-ever formula car with both front and rear powertrains. A new front powertrain adds 250kW to the 350kW at the rear, more than doubling the regenerative capability of the current Gen2 to a total of 600kW.

  • Ultra-high speed charging capability of 600kW for additional energy during a race, almost double the energy of the most advanced commercial chargers in the world.

  • The first formula car that will not feature rear hydraulic brakes with the addition of the front powertrain and its regenerative capability.

Por Alberto Esteves Arreola
Una extraordinaria carrera de líderes en F 1 entre Hamilton con 6 segundos de diferencia de Checo Pérez con record de 19.4 dió emoción a la grada mexicana de alaridos   reunida en el Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez  momentos de emoción. 
Checo fue el mejor ritmo en la carrera 20.4 con neumàticos extraordinarios. Pérez atacó a Luis Hamilton con intensidad  de muy frenético manejo en un duelo que los aficionados  aplaudían por la entereza de Checo. 


Los autos y sus escuderías todos se quedaron
 de la ruda salida y hubo  incidentes por las curvas que  cerraban el paso a la velocidad. 
A 16  vueltas del final nada estaba escrito y el equipo Verstappen compañero de Checo iba en la punta. Checo iba en tercero Hamilton en 2do sitio. 
Checo iba en 1.19 segundos. 1.7 segundos era la distancia de Hamilton sobre Pérez. NEWS INFORMANET.US  fue testigo de la emoción de la fanaticada en el Autódrmo del Foro Sol como locos gritaban a Checo intentando  con su auto Redbull  y atacaba fuerte en un gran trabajo administrando en  neumàticos. Hamilton con su Mercedes sufría con sus neumàticos esa era la diferencia.
A solo 9 vueltas  del final  Checho iba a la caza de Hamilton, pero no le alcanzó. Las llantas de Hamilton ya tenían raspones enormes en llantas traseras...que emocionante!
Hamilton de pronto se aejaba de Checo...y se alejó. Verstappen ganó.

Venturi Racing enters multi-year title partnership with global telecommunications company ROKiT

On the eve of the Formula E season-opener in Diriyah, Venturi Racing recently announced a three-year relationship with global teleco innovators, ROKiT.

Building upon its existing title partnership in Formula 1, ROKiT has entrusted Venturi Racing to expand its motorsport portfolio into the world’s premier all-electric racing series.

With a new name in ROKiT Venturi Racing, a striking new red and black livery and a new powertrain supplier in Mercedes-Benz, Season 6 signals the start of an exciting new era for the world’s only Monegasque racing team.

A NATURAL FIT
As the world’s fastest-growing form of motorsport, racing in 12 cities spanning five continents, Formula E showcases innovative, future-focused technologies – something synonymous with both Venturi and ROKiT.

Alongside pioneering smartphone solutions, ROKiT has recently launched an international venture to aid the development of smart cities across the globe through ROKiT Cities – branding for which will feature on the race cars of both Felipe Massa and Edoardo Mortara, in addition to all team kit.

Having already introduced public Wi-Fi hotspots across 27 cities in India, ROKiT has a clear and ambitious vision for the future – aiming to create smart cities in 10 different countries over the next three years through the introduction of cost-effective connections.

A REWARDING RELATIONSHIP
Partnering with the first manufacturer to commit to Formula E in 2013, ROKiT’s relationship with Venturi Racing shows ultimate faith in the upward trajectory of the team.

Recording its maiden victory in Season 5, Venturi Racing is determined to continue its push towards the front of the Formula E grid whilst building upon a legacy of electric mobility innovation spanning almost two decades – including the imminent launch of the ground-breaking Antarctica polar exploration vehicle and an attempt at the two-wheeled electric land speed record.

IN THEIR WORDS

“The addition of ROKiT as our title partner for the next three seasons is a significant moment for the team. Our two brands share both a passion for innovation and a clear vision for the future of our technologies.

Susie Wolff, Team Principal, ROKiT Venturi Racing:
“We’re very proud to welcome ROKiT to the Venturi family. This partnership is a fantastic endorsement of the progress we made as a team in Season 5 and the ever-increasing appeal of Formula E as a platform for ground-breaking, premium global brands to showcase their vision. We’re understandably excited by what the next three years hold for both ROKiT and Venturi. Now - it’s time to go racing.”

Jonathan Kendrick, Chairman of ROK Brands and Co-Founder of ROKiT:
“After meeting with the Venturi Racing team, there was no doubt in my mind that they are the ideal partner for ROKiT in Formula E. The ROKiT brand has fast become synonymous with doing things differently - we trailblaze. Formula E is breaking new ground and we’re excited to see where the championship can go. The city centre locations and rapidly growing fanbase make it a perfect platform from which to communicate ROKiT Cities.”

  • TAG Heuer kicked off the 50th anniversary celebrations for the Monaco timepiece at the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix, the legendary event that gave the watch its name in 1969.
  • TAG Heuer unveiled the first of five new collector’s timepieces inspired by the original Monaco. Five creations of the timepiece will be successively revealed throughout 2019.
  • Guests were granted access to some of the most prestigious and exciting events in Monaco, including a Saturday evening party on the TAG Heuer Yacht hosted by Patrick Dempsey, Bella Hadid and more. 

 All eyes were on the Rock of Monaco for the legendary Formula 1 Grand Prix this weekend, and on the iconic TAG Heuer timepiece celebrating its 50th anniversary in the Principality.
In honour of this milestone, it was announced that throughout the year, five creations will be successively revealed, inspired by the different decades from 1969 to 2019, and paying tribute to timeless design, enduring innovation and a style icon now more contemporary than ever.
The Monaco’s daring and iconic design has made it instantly recognisable. Every aspect of the Monaco timepiece design was radical, and went where no other watch had gone before in terms of design and technology. Not only was the TAG Heuer Monaco the first ever water-resistant square watch, it was also the first to feature an automatic-winding chronograph movement.
Since its debut, the Monaco watch and the Monaco Grand Prix, for which TAG Heuer has been the Official Watch since 2011, have had a strong connection – the most glamorous Grand Prix of the Formula 1 season gave its name to the TAG Heuer Monaco collection in 1969. No other place and location would therefore have been more suitable for celebrating the iconic timepiece’s 50th anniversary.
Taking over Monaco during the busiest weekend of the year, TAG Heuer unveiled the first Monaco limited edition at the beautiful Key Largo Villa, in the presence of Stéphane Bianchi, CEO of the LVMH Watchmaking Division and CEO of TAG Heuer and Frédéric Arnault, Chief Strategy and Digital Officer. They were joined by the rising star of the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing Team Max Verstappen, as well as Patrick Dempsey, Bella Hadid, Winnie Harlow, Kai Lenny and selected guests from all over the world.
Over the course of the exclusive three-day event, guests were granted access to some of the most prestigious and exciting events in Monaco, from a private tour of the Monaco Top Cars Collection museum including a retrospective of the Monaco timepiece, to a debrief of the Grand Prix  qualifications with Christian Horner, Team Principal of the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing Team. They also attended an exclusive party hosted on the TAG Heuer Yacht on Saturday evening with an exclusive performance by famous French DJ Bob Sinclair attended by Patrick Dempsey, Bella Hadid, Winnie Harlow, Jourdan Dunn, Kai Lenny and Jean-Éric Vergne. The event culminated on Sunday with VIP access to the coveted Formula 1 Grand Prix, for which TAG Heuer is the Official Watch.

* He’s the first Louisiana driver to achieve this honor

* He’ll participate at the Formula Ford Festival & the Walter Hayes Trophy in England.

*Jeansonne also got a ticket to compete in the USF2000 shootout for the $200k scholarship



* Recently he tested a USF2000 open-wheel car and won in the latest Lucas Oil Series round.


SULPHUR, Louisiana (October 7, 2017) – Aaron Jeansonne was chosen for the Team USA Scholarship. This gives him the opportunity to compete in the prestigious Formula Ford Festival, where you can only get an entry by invitation, which is held at Brands Hatch (Former Formula 1 track) and also he’ll race in the Walter Hayes Trophy at Silverstone (current F1 venue), both race meetings in England. Also, he got invited to the Mazda Road to Indy $200,000 USF2000 Scholarship Shootout.

“I can’t even put it into words… it’s such an honor to be chosen for the Team USA scholarship this year. It was only a wild dream a year ago and now it’s a reality. It’s insane! I waited very patiently and eagerly for the news and finally (Team USA Scholarship Founder and President) Jeremy Shaw told me to give him a call one day and the first thing he asked was if I wanted to go to England and my heart literally stopped. Of course, I replied: yes,” Jeansonne said.

“I’d never thought in my life that I would have the chance to represent the red, white and blue in anything, which makes this almost surreal, but I just plan to maximize the opportunity, have the time of my life and have as much fun as possible,” he added.

“I thank Team USA and all its supporters for everything and I believe it is the greatest program in the world in racing and without a program such as this, lots of very deserving drivers would have a much smaller chance of making it in this sport,” the 19-year old young man said.

Jeansonne is the first Louisiana native to become Team USA alumni and perhaps he is the least experienced of the participants, but managed to impress the racing community with his maiden victory in his debut in the Lucas Oil Formula Car Race Series last year. Since then, Aaron has managed to achieve three wins and he’s a regular in the podium in all race weekends, with three second places and three third spots in his first full-season.

Almost a quarter of the drivers in this year’s Verizon IndyCar Series (five out of 21 full-season campaigners) such as: Josef Newgarden (won Formula Ford Festival in Kent Class, Indy Lights champion and 2017 IndyCar champion), A.J. Allmendinger (Champ Car Rookie of the Year and also NASCAR, IndyCar and Grand-Am driver), Charlie Kimball, JR Hildebrand, Conor Daly and Spencer Pigot, plus current sports car stand-outs Dane Cameron, Joel Miller, Joey Hand, Andy Lally, Bryan Sellers, Bryan Herta, Jimmy Vasser and Trent Hindman, are all Team USA alumni.

The Sulphur, Louisiana driver has been busy lately, since he was one of the four candidates for this year’s Team USA Scholarships who recently enjoyed the opportunity given by Bryn Nuttall of BN Racing to test a Tatuus-Mazda USF-17 at the Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, Illinois.

The young American driver and his peers received advice during the two-day outing by BN’s driver coach, Victor Franzoni, who recently clinched the Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires, and former Team USA Scholarship winner Michai Stephens.

“I want to thank Bryn Nuttall, BN Racing, Team USA Scholarship, Jeremy Shaw and all those involved to make this test happen. This opportunity means the world to me. Bryn was very welcoming and I found him to be very easy to relate to. Having the chance to learn from Victor and Luke Varley was something I didn’t take for granted; I took in a ton of information in a very short amount of time.”

The young driver is already using some of the knowledge learned in the above test, since he’s carrying momentum to England fresh off a win in the latest round of the Lucas Oil Formula Car Race Series.

I feel greatly honored to have the Yucatan racetrack named after me. Yucatan has a fantastic race facility and I’m looking forward for the inaugural event which I will attend with my family.
I had a street named after me in Miami, the “Fittipaldi Way," but this is my first Autódromo! 
Thank you Yucatan! Viva Mexico!
