Ferrari has a lot of work ahead of it. He has it seeing how 2022 ended, and also because they have not managed to win any title in Formula 1 since 2007 in terms of drivers and since 2008 in terms of constructors. Three decades, 15 years without anything would be too many, and the truth is that the words of Frederic Vasseur, his new great boss, do not invite much optimism to Carlos Sainz and for Charles Leclerc. Because they need power. More power. More to be able to beat Red Bull and Mercedes. So that the beginning of last year does not remain only in five or six races and they are maintained over time. But, for the moment, what promised a lot has turned out to be, in the words of the French, “a joke”. “I don’t know where those numbers come from, but it’s a jo...

A lewis hamilton He has one year left on his contract. His renewals are always a matter of debate. He has been the highest paid driver on the grid by far for many years. And the last few contract extensions for him have been costly in every way. This could be his last season if both parties do not agree. But in Mercedes they are clear that no matter what happens they will offer you the renewal. His non-continuity would be related to an early goodbye from Lewis. This has been stated Toto Wolffhead of Mercedes, in statements to ‘Auto Motor und Sport’: “I have made it clear from the beginning that Lewis will always have a seat with us.” “It is a decision that is always discussed between us, Lewis would be the first to say if he no longer enjoys or believes that h...
When the year began we saw that car sales had fallen by 5.4% in 2022. An unremarkable figure that was due to factors such as the war in Ukraine or the shortage of components, which led to inflation and price increases. However, it was not all bad news, because last year increased car production in Spain. It is something positive for the national industry, which is one of the most important and currently represents just over a tenth of GDP. Last year the Spanish factories produced a total of 2,219,462 cars, which represents a growth of 5.8% compared to the data for 2021.

There has always been talk of the low costs of electric car maintenance. The main reason is its simplicity on a technical level, although it also became apparent with the rise in fossil fuels such as gasoline and diesel. However, electricity is also more expensive now and that has reduced the distances.

At the wheel of a Suzuki Vitara 1.5 Strong Hybrid, together with Máximo Sant from Airtight Garage, reduce consumption from 5.8 l/100 km to a paltry 3.8 liters. Yes, we save more than anyone. They are not real conditions of use of a car (due to speeds and accelerations), but it shows that a hybrid SUV can achieve very low consumption as soon as you understand the operation of these motors that do not need to be plugged in but do have a little electrical help and they can move the car by themselves. Also, in this case, the brand donated a kilo of food to the Fundación Banco de Alimentos de Madrid for every liter saved, you had to take care. Between the savings achieved by motoring jo...
