Preise » olak was celebrating even before Alexander

I spent the weekend in Modena, not for any sort of Ferrari pilgrimage, but instead on an eating adventure for my mothers birthday. We flew into Bologna airport, a place I last went through in 2014 when heading to Imola for the 20th anniversary commemoration of Ayrton Senna.As I passed through Bologna this time, it was the one-year anniversary of the death of Jules Bianchi.The death of Senna is often pointed to as one of the key turning points in the history of F1s focus on safety. Efforts to improve safety for drivers, circuit officials, and attendant fans had been ongoing in spurts since Sir Jackie Stewart first took a stand in the 1960s, leading to dramatically improved trackside medical care and the application of safety standards to circuit design, but that black weekend in Imola that saw both Senna and Roland Ratzenberger lose their lives marked the last F1 driver fatalities for 20 years.Dramatic accidents such as Robert Kubicas Montreal crash, Mark Webber performing an aerial somersault over Heikki Kovalainen, or Jarno Trulli landing on top of Karun Chandhok in Monaco, all saw the drivers involved walk away with little more than bruising or minor injuries. Safety-related research was applied to the design of the cars, and became an ever more vital part of the rulebook.Each of the aforementioned crashes had its own role to play in the development of safety, as indeed have all of the other incidents weve seen on track. Sebastien Buemis double suspension failure in practice for the 2010 Chinese Grand Prix led to the introduction of a second wheel tether for the 2011 season. Felipe Massas head injury in Budapest 2009 led to advances in helmet design, with the addition of a Zylon visor strip to help spread the energy absorption from any impact.In the 22 months since Jules crashed during the rain-soaked 2014 Japanese Grand Prix, considerable research has been underway to try and improve cockpit protection for the drivers, and the result (as seen this season) has been the development of both the Halo and the Aeroscreen, both of which have been tested on track with the aim of introducing one of the devices in 2017 if possible.The Halo concept has been divisive, welcomed by some drivers and disliked by others, and it is expected that any form of cockpit protection is likely to be delayed until 2018 to allow for further testing to take place.Fernando Alonsos dramatic crash at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, from which the Spanish racer was lucky to emerge largely unscathed when the force of the impact is taken into account, raised its own questions about the efficacy of the Halo, with former F1 driver and Sky pundit Johnny Herbert asking: Would that halo have caused more problems of getting out of the car? Probably. It will be thought about properly for next year.The more immediate safety impact to result from Bianchis heavy crash under yellow flags in Suzuka was the introduction of the Virtual Safety Car for the 2015 season, used when double waved yellow flags are needed on any section of track and competitors or officials may be in danger, but the circumstances are not such as to warrant use of the safety car itself.The 2016 technical regulations included their own modifications to cockpit design for improved safety, with the head protection structures now 20mm higher than in 2015, and required to resist a compression load of 50N per 30 seconds. In order to improve analysis of any accidents, drivers must now wear in-ear accelerometers during every session of a race weekend and all multi-team tests (i.e. not straight-line aero testing or filming days when they alone are on track). Every car is equipped with a high-speed camera.Formula One is not resting on its laurels when it comes to future safety developments, with the FIA now actively pushing for improved biometric monitoring of their drivers. Speaking to AUTO earlier this year, FIA Safety Delegate Laurent Mekies said: The next step is biometrics - gathering data from drivers such as heart rate, body heat and even sweat levels. I hope that we will be able to put something on a driver before the end of the season, at least in a test.You could imagine a million things tomorrow - you could imagine us trying to estimate the loads on the actual upper body of the drivers through the safety belts, for instance, he added. It is something that will never stop as much as safety research will never stop and we will continue to push the boundaries to gain a deeper understanding.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Nate Ebner is the only Super Bowl champion who ever played a game of rugby in the Olympics.The New England Patriots safety and special teams ace scored a try before his late tackle led to a yellow card in the Americans 26-0 blowout of Brazil on Tuesday in the rugby sevens tournament.Back home, Bill Belichick stopped practice so his players could watch their teammate compete a world away at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.They saw No. 12 -- no, not in honor of Tom Brady -- score just as the first half ended and then get yellow-carded in the second half for laying out Brazilian reserve Gustavo Albuquerque on a hit that would have drawn praise in Foxborough but earned him jeers and a two-minute penalty at Deodoro Stadium.It wasnt a football flashback, he insisted.Not really, Ebner said. You just let your natural instincts take over.And those instincts were honed on the pitch, not the gridiron.Ebner won a Super Bowl ring with the Patriots two years ago, but rugby is in his blood. His father, Jeff Ebner, played at the University of Minnesota and taught his son the game when he was a toddler.Jeff Ebner was killed in a robbery in 2008 at the family salvage business, the last father-son conversation over Nates desire to walk on the football team at Ohio State.Ebner said he thinks of his father all the time but he didnt venture a guess as to what his father would think of his boy making it to the Olympics.I dont know, he said. Thats a long thought.And right now hes focused on Fiji, whom the Americans play Wednesday in a make-or-break game.Ebner signed a two-year, $2.4 million extension with the Patriots this spring just before taking a leave of absence to pursue his Olympic dream.Its great for him to actually tick off two big bucket list items, said Dan Panye, CEO of USA Rugby.A Super Bowl and an Olympics.Hes probably the only person in the history of man thats able to say that, Payne said.ddddddddddddEbner will return to the Patriots when his Olympic adventure is over.Its been a great experience. To be a part of something this big and this prestigious, its really an honor, Ebner said. And its an honor to be here with this group of guys that works so hard.Hes hoping to be an example.I hope it changes the game, Ebner said of rugbys return to the Olympics for the first time since 1924. We can kind of be trailblazers for something great in the United States and obviously thats our hopes and dreams for this sport. I love this sport.While football games are 60 minutes of action interrupted by whistles and commercials, rugby sevens consists of two seven-minute halves and a two-minute halftime. With extra time, its over in 20 minutes, tops.But its played on the same field that regular rugby uses, with 14 players instead of 30. So, its a fast-moving, insane shock to the system, drenching players in adrenalin and sweat.Theyre very different, Ebner said of his two sports. Footballs a violent game played right at one another. Theyre very different games. But as you can see at times out here it can get very violent as well.His cardio and aerobic capacities are off the charts -- he doesnt dare step on a scale -- but he figures hell fit right back in at the Patriots training camp because playing Argentina and Brazil has helped prepare him to face the likes of the Jets and the Bills.I definitely think so, Ebner said. Im going to have to gain some more weight, too, because we dont run as much out there. But it should help. No one runs like this and tackles like this (in the NFL).
