Interview: Renault Formula One Technical Boss Bob Bell
After a difficult season in 2007, how much is riding on the new R28?
A hell of a lot. 2007 was a very poor year by our standards. For 2008, there are high expectations inside and outside the team. In Fernando, we have a driver that we know can win the title if he has the right car. Nelsinho is a very promising talent. We are not in Formula 1 to make up the numbers, and it is down to us to give the drivers a competitive car.
Was your approach to 2007 too conservative?
I think it probably was, yes. There were mitigating circumstances: on the one hand, a lot of effort went into our 2006 championship fight; on the other, we did not appreciate the magnitude of the changes needed for the Bridgestone tyres until we began running them
There were also some errors in our technical procedures. All of these factors were at the root of our uncompetitive season.
So what about how you have tackled 2008?
Firstly, we have put the problems from 2007 behind us, and we know that our design tools like the wind tunnel are working well. That was a very important part of our work last year, to ensure we could put ourselves back on track. In terms of the car design, we have looked at the problem afresh. We have pushed very hard in all areas, and particularly on the aerodynamics; we are confident that the progress we have seen in the wind tunnel will be reflected on track.
What new development paths have you followed with the R28?
The front end of the car has come in for particular attention, notably the front wing and the front suspension. The suspension architecture is now much more akin to what is deemed
Our previous design philosophy was optimised around a more rearward weight distribution, matched to a rearward aero balance. The Bridgestone tyres demand a significant push forwards in this area, and we have exploited this characteristic with the 2008 aerodynamic package.
What has been the magnitude of the change to the SECU?
From the outside, this is a very deceptive change: it is far from a
It is not just the on-car hardware that has changed, but all of our on- and off-car support systems and analysis tools have either been modified or changed entirely. It is a process that we have spent over a year working on, and it took a lot of work to make the systems useable. But the transition has been negotiated successfully.
What impact has this had on the design of the R28?
Clearly, the loss of systems such as traction control and engine braking control has an influence on how the car is exploited at the track. That has not affected the fundamental design architecture, but it will have a definite impact on set-up. We have a good handle on those changes, but the new car is so different to its predecessor that we still need to run more to have a definitive answer.
The long-life four race gearbox is another major change. How have you tackled it?
This is a much less significant change than the ECU, but it is still major because modern F1 gearboxes are notoriously fragile. Furthermore, their successful operation depends on the synergy between the mechanical components and control systems. We have paid a lot of attention to achieving the necessary reliability without compromising performance, with a lot of focus on exploiting the control systems allowed by the new ECU system.
Tell us about the drivers from a technical perspective
Fernando is a known quantity for the team: we know that if he has the right car, he can win races and titles. That helps us a lot when it comes to focusing our development efforts. The added benefit is that unlike with most new drivers, his transition into the team will be very easy. Nelsinho is an unproven but exciting talent in F1 terms. His performances in junior formulae have shown real promise, and he is settled within the team. I think it is a very nicelybalanced driver pairing.
What are you proudest of in the new car?
Personally, it is the effort and work that have gone into the R28. 2007 was a tough year because we were uncompetitive, because of the appearance before the World Council, and also because we really pushed the performance of the new car

Pu er tea produced in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan and other places, because in ancient times that Puer distribution, thus its name. Pu er tea is used by autoclaving Both black or green tea from the Yunnan Jinyacha various collectively, including Tuocha, cakes tea, the tea, bear tea.

As a traditional tea drink , in addition to Zhenghe Sheng Jin and refreshing, there are special medicinal effectiveness.
Pu er tea has its own unique processing, it usually will after fixing, rolled and dried, such as heap Wu several procedures. Mining fresh tea, the fixing, rolled and dried, as Pu er Qing Mao. At that moment, the Qing Mao, the completion of concentrated flavor, but less sharply Chapter strong arguments. Maocha production, because of the follow-up process is divided into different cooked tea, and the tea. After cooked to heap nausea, will become a cooked tea. After storage for a very long time, wait for flavor stability of the net can be sold goods. Storage time normally need three to five years. The tea refers to the heap nausea Maocha not completely rely on natural processes and the transformation to become familiar tea. To the natural ripening process has been rather slow, at least five to eight years. Fully cooked stability after the health tea, Chen Xiang still hold vivid and lively melody flowed, and the longer the time of its vitality-and also the exposure and sound, resulting tea do sell old tea tea new tradition.
With the development of the times and the changes in production conditions, the existing tea compared with the past, changes in production processes, products vary, but in accordance with the style and quality.
The history of tea, refers to the six Dasan based Xishuangbanna production of raw materials for large-Zhongcha made Green Maocha, and the Green Maocha pressed into a variety of Jinyacha. If the Pu er tea, Puer Tuocha, seven of tea cake, possession sales Jinyacha, round tea, bamboo tube tea, tea and other casual assembly.

Third, the use of Yunnan tea treat hyperlipidemia 55 cases with a better efficacy of lipid-lowering drugs clofibrate treatment of 31 cases compared the efficacy of Yunnan tea clofibrate also higher than its cholesterol-lowering effect, and clofibrate similar, no side effects and long-term consumption. Kunming Medical College clinical trials - that --
4, where the Yunnan tea drinking more than 40 per cent of cases, there are varying degrees weight loss, the age of 40 to 50 cases more significant effect. On the effect of lowering the body contained good 30 per cent. Contained in the body of the lower triglycerides, cholesterol, uric acid, which are different role.

5, in the Wudao Keleitaiyi Seoul hospital to 20 patients with excessive blood fat, drink Sanwan Yunnan Tuocha day, a month, and found that the fat in the blood of patients were reduced by almost a quarter, while the same drink Tea number of other patients had no change in blood fat.

Because it different from other tea, apart from the general processing procedures, good aged Pu er tea at least have to buried underground months about five years, Bota will be a part of the soil inside. So, the first water addition to brewing tea can wake up the flavor of tea, it will also have tea together thoroughly cleansed of impurities in the important tasks. The first brew faster speed, because as long as it can be cleaned tea, it should not soak up the flavor, while the second is due to recur after drink, so could bias the choice of personal preference, in accordance with to decide. Even after cooling tea or full flavor, so the summer time can be made or some ice cold after the Zaikai.
The preservation of tea
Hi aging drinks and food should be known to all, regardless of wine, bubble Wine, stuffed Chen Mei, materials and fabrication important, but more is the key to keep possession, the environment and different containers, such as precedence for their influence can not be ignored . So on the 2nd floor of the aging Pu er tea is by no means as long as the material distinctions, excellent production, and on the general environment at the Department ventilation available. On the personal experience of tea into the Fifth, we must: constant temperature and wet, but no light, no miscellaneous flavor, Hei lively. On the 2nd floor of the aging tea, with the exception of tea and timber production stress, but also to have relaxed after fermentation of possession. Therefore, the first three are to this. Of tea are well known, the appropriate temperature and humidity on the importance of tea, but often overlooked stable temperature and humidity also contribute to the easing after fermentation, of course, should not be overlooked light, with the former two to the same rationale.
