      La prima tazza di caffè è già finita qui, quindi entriamo nel vivo.

      🚘 Quello che sto guidando: la Ford Expedition Platinum 2025 è nel mio garage e le tre cose più notevoli sono il nuovo design del portellone posteriore diviso, il nuovo design del cruscotto e del volante, e il fatto che ogni singolo esemplare abbia un portellone posteriore nero.

      ⌨️ Il responsabile del software di Mercedes-Benz Magnus Östberg ha ammesso che “i dati ci mostrano che i pulsanti fisici sono migliori,” notando che la casa automobilistica reintrodurrà pulsanti, manopole rotanti e interruttori a leva, ma lo farà prima con un nuovo design del volante mostrato per la prima volta sul GLC EV, poiché è il modo più rapido per riportare i controlli fisici nei veicoli della casa di lusso.

      🏎️ Mercedes-Benz AMG sta valutando la fattibilità di una versione elettrica del suo prossimo rivale della Porsche 911.

      ‼️ Stellantis ha richiamato quasi 165.000 Jeep Wagoneer e Grand Wagoneer a causa del possibile distacco delle modanature sulle portiere del conducente e del passeggero.

      ✨ Rolls-Royce ha svelato un esemplare unico del Cullinan chiamato Cosmos, che si dice sia ispirato al dramma dello spazio con un Starlight Headliner dipinto a mano che ha richiesto oltre 160 ore per essere realizzato.

      🇦🇪 Tesla ha iniziato a vendere il Cybertruck negli Emirati Arabi Uniti, mentre il camion elettrico dall'aspetto infantile continua a non avere successo negli Stati Uniti.

      🪏 Rivian ha avviato i lavori per la nuova fabbrica di veicoli elettrici dell'azienda in Georgia.

      🕵️‍♀️ Il governo federale degli Stati Uniti sta indagando se circa 174.000 Tesla Model Y abbiano maniglie delle porte che potrebbero non funzionare, il che potrebbe intrappolare i bambini all'interno del veicolo.

      💄 Lexus ha svelato un esemplare unico dell'SUV LX chiamato Glam LX, che si dice sia allestito con necessità ispirate alla bellezza e alla moda, trasformando il veicolo in un vero e proprio studio di bellezza completo.

"Provided the state does not contribute..."

17 September 2025 - 13:33

Despite discussions about Germany making a return to the Formula 1 calendar, Ralf Schumacher believes the country faces too many challenges to reinstate its presence soon. F1 has already announced the 2026 schedule, featuring 24 races and six newly confirmed sprint events, including new hosts Canada, Zandvoort, and Singapore. Germany is not included in this lineup, although the F1 CEO has recently suggested a possible return to Hockenheim or the Nurburgring, particularly with Audi entering the sport and Mercedes already involved.

However, Schumacher mentioned to T-Online that German motorsport is declining. "In Germany, we currently have approximately 700 karting racing licenses, and that number is decreasing," he noted. "In England, for instance, there are around 4000. Karting is thriving there and in Italy, but here in Germany, it is gradually being phased out. There are hardly any proper kart tracks left, and the number of racing series is dwindling. 

"It’s quite straightforward – if I remove football fields, there will be fewer football players, and that’s exactly the situation we’re facing in racing." To address this, Mercedes and ADAC have launched a partnership to support a German driver on the path to F1. Nonetheless, Schumacher believes manufacturers must also work together to restore Germany’s position on the calendar. "Collaborations are crucial," the former F1 driver stated. "If Mercedes and Audi ever decide to unite in this effort, progress could be made. I would love to see that happen."

However, Schumacher remains doubtful about a return without government support. "As long as the state does not invest financial resources—resources it would regain through the tourism generated by the race—it won't succeed," he argued. "Entry fees have become so high that the organizer must provide a comprehensive security package involving police and fire departments – Hockenheim won’t be able to generate sufficient revenue. You don’t need a math degree to understand that it won’t work. 

"But I still hold onto hope."

Mercedes continua a puntare su abitacoli pensati innanzitutto per il digitale, ma i dati mostrano che le persone preferiscono i pulsanti.
