Ferrari is looking for a new team boss. Mattia Binotto He resigned from his position and now the Italian team wants a figure with weight to lead from next season. The first candidate has fallen after his resounding refusal. Is about Christian Horner. The current head of Red Bull does not want to know anything about Ferrari… and has taken the opportunity to leave a poisoned message. “I believe that It will be his sixth team manager since I’ve been at Red Bull“, he has expressed in statements to ‘Sky Sports’. “He will be the sixth team manager that I will face. It should not be easy for him. They had a great car this year, they were certainly very competitive,” said the Red Bull man, who is clear that he will not move. Binotto is already histor...
The cells that make up a lithium ion battery pack are not all the same. There are some that will inexorably degrade faster than others. Now, a research from Stanford University has discovered the battery would have a longer useful life if each cell receives an individualized charge treatment. There are many reasons why individual cells in a pack degrade sooner. From differences in manufacturing or in materials to the fact that some are more exposed to heat, or located in an area that is difficult to cool. In any case, a single battery cell lasts longer than a battery pack… as weak cells drag down the rest. Rapid charges and discharges are stressful on battery cells. Despite being designed to withstand these moments, weak cells suffer and deteriorate more quickly. Hence, the team of researc...

It is no secret to anyone that Spain is not a European benchmark when it comes to sustainable mobility. Our fleet of vehicles has a fairly high average age (around 13-14 years) and, to top it off, the authorities practically force us to rejuvenate it with electrified vehicles but with financial aid that takes time to arrive and that in many cases remains scarce. Therefore, it is not surprising that we barely add a little more than 200,000 units with a ‘0 Emissions’ label today within our borders, a very discr...

“It was a very pleasant surprise” The different treatment of Fernando Alonso at Aston Martin and Alpine: the “small” detail that makes the difference
Spent coffee grounds often end up in the landfill or, with any luck, in a composting plant for compost. Now a new study has found that they could be used to feed biodiesel-producing algae. It is already possible to turn discarded coffee grounds into biofuel, without involving algae in the process. However, it seems to be quite a complex process, which makes it less likely to be adopted on a large scale. Oils extracted from algae are also used to produce biodiesel. The algae are often grown on inert material, such as polyurethane foam or nylon, and feed on nutrients added to the water to increase its oil production. In an effort to make things simpler and faster, scientists at Britain’s Aston University tried using coffee grounds as a food and nutrient source for the algae. Chlorella ...

After testing the BMW X3 I had to give in: a large SUV like the one in Munich can be a good option even when you are looking for precision behind the wheel and dynamism. Yes, even with a diesel engine like the xDrive20d. Only the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, of the diesel SUVs in that order of power that I have tested, had a similar touch, but unlike the German it does not achieve such low consumption and is not as refined at low speeds. That you don’t like diesel or do you need another type of label? No problem. The BMW X3 has a very complete mechanical range. From the ECO versions thanks to microbibridization to zero with the plug-in hybrid version and the 100% electric iX3. But the balance between performance and consumption of this X3 xDrive20d won us over: The interior is quite spacious ...
The Mercedes EQT is the version with an electric motor of its access van with the soul of a compact minivan, the Mercedes T-Class. As a preview of this model, the brand shows the Mercedes Concept EQT Marco Polo, very close to the production version that we should meet in mid-2023. This compact-sized campervan is built on the long-wheelbase EQT, measuring around 4,910mm in length (the short body of the T-Class we tested is 4,498mm long, 1,859mm wide and 1,819mm high). This longer body, with six seats, arrives in 2023 with all the mechanics. Like the Mercedes T-Class Marco Polo, it is a camperization module, developed by Brabus to sell an adventurous philosophy of this electric van that justifies the premium over other alternatives. Integrated into the boot, it includes drawers, a fridge, a ...
