In a showman, actor and singer, racer and businessman, and now one of the bosses "stable" Formula 1 "Marusia Virgin" was born so many sayings that they can already publish a full collection of works. "And the zombies here are quiet." "Debts give only the cowards." "I would be late for the soup on the floor. Wipe. "Great Russia, and not to sleep with someone." "" A "and" B "were sitting on the tube, and are now sitting on aluminum. His first aphorism about "Formula 1" Nikolai Fomenko came up during our conversation and my exclusive request: – "Formula 1" begins with a hanger. Understand in what sense? This is such an incredible number of problems that really want to hang! "Twenty-five hours a day, and every day – Monday. According to this formula are chess kings. To become Nikolai Fomenko, in a day should be 40 hours, and, most striking, he finds them. Nikolai Vladimirovich announce to me his schedule for the next few days, and what is normal for him, for most of us would have sounded like a death sentence: "Now we communicate with you, then I sit in the car, going to the airport, flying to Frankfurt Maine, where I will have a brief meeting at the airport, then fly to Australia to race weekend, and then left immediately for Paris, from Paris to Moscow, from Moscow. " MATCH Roll SOVSEH PARTIES – Thank you! I understood everything! Just tell me you at least use the organizer, or keep everything in your head? – In my head I keep a lot, but I have an organizer, and special people who plan my meetings, business and travel. Otherwise I would have certainly failed. Very helpful telephone and the Internet, but on the other hand, if not all of these new high-speed technology, to win in the Royal race "would be much easier. And as it turns out that our plans in Australia come true in Abu Dhabi (laughs). – How to deal with it is your family? – My wife and kids are accustomed to constant travel. Maybe if I was, twenty-two, I would not have withstood such separations, but it lasts for many years. When I was a racer, I spent 32 weeks a year on the slopes behind the wheel … And, of course, I have an atypical family. For the average family of any departure, even a trip to the suburban train, translates into an event. – Nikolay Vladimirovich, I understand that with respect to you the word "gamble" out of place. But still I'm waiting for at least partial openness to the next question. The role of one of the bosses of the team Marusia Virgin "- is a desire to test himself in something new, serious business in which you want to make a pragmatic, perhaps even for other projects, or is it something primarily for the soul? – Oh, if we talk about it as a business, then it's too heavy story and it does not fit in the gas Noe interview. If we consider everything in general, our involvement in Formula 1 "is important primarily for" Marousi. Because McLaren goes into Formula 1 and on public roads, "Ferrari goes to F-1" and on public roads polzovaniya.Esli we want to create a car of the future, and we want exactly that, then we also need to be in Formula 1. " But in general "formula" – is primarily a sport. If you do not set ourselves the problem to become the first, then come back makes no sense. – Is it real? – And here it is a question of faithful and competent manner. While we, as the ground for a new team – to achieve precise understanding. And then when they all want to make it better, the error only strengthened. – That's why you want to hang? Very understanding. -Including. The emergence of young teams in the "royal racing" – it's not even a box of matches and a match factory: just shake my – and the matches and the piled on your head from all sides! Much has, among other things, runs into the mentality, if we talk about what is happening at the same time within a "stable". There are things that can be done competently, but each of them to prove it. For example, we have to prove that you can change the manufacturer to find another that will be cheaper, but cheaper – does not mean worse, and you have no idea how much time and nerves going to these talks and evidence! New car, a conceptually new car we need to do in 2012, but before she is ready, will go through many failures, they simply can not be avoided. "HISTORY WITH Aleshin some dark" – What race will be for you a moment of truth? – Grand Prix of Turkey. " In Turkey, will already be clear, we have chosen the correct path in the creation of a new car. We can not exclude such an option, it would be fundamentally wrong and everything will start again. In other ways, some special races will not be on the agenda is: pass each race until the end. New tires, new rear wing. Hydraulics, the new gearbox – how they behave in the race? This is totally unpredictable. -Each year the "Formula 1" increasingly resembles a war is not the pilots, but the war budgets. Constant improvement of cars require a huge investment, and in fact limit to perfection, as we know, no. Do you see? – The judicious use of budgets. You can let the wind and 500 million per year. But our team is nothing like this can not afford to have our oil nobody is sitting. – And on aluminum, too. – It's true – she laughed. – But the costs can vary. "Arms race" in fact is not so terrible. What used to cost a million, now worth a thousand. For example, 10 years ago, Kevlar (a polymer used in andzgotovlenii cockpits. – Comm. ed.) cost almost 10 thousand dollars per square centimeter. He is now fully accessible. It's like with mobile phones, the first telephones cost a thousand, but now you can buy apparatik and the dollar. – Mikhail Aleshin and could not get this season in Formula 1, "because he was asked to bring 10-15 million of sponsorship money. How did it happen? – History Alyoshin – it is generally some sort of criminal. No, I do not rule, there are some precedents, some pilots in F-1 "really go for such amounts, but most did not. And what with Aleshin asked so much money … I do not even know how to comment on this. Michael Schumacher got into the car for 250,000 dollars – it is my understanding that an adequate price. – Since then, much has changed. Including the price. – Let's update a zero, you still get an adequate price. – Do you, as far as I can tell, it was not possible to help Aleshin, and inviting him to "Marusya Virgin"? – I said that after creating a new, fast car, after he succeeded to get us to understand the legacy that we can return to this issue. I try to maintain a promising riders have always done and will do. I myself was a racer, and I understand how much needed support to the pilot, especially a driver who can drive fast. I do not exclude that in Marusia Virgin "eventually will be Russian racer, and would very much like this. And they will be the one who will look better than others at the time of the decision. Nostalgia for the three pedals, Glock experienced and young D'Ambrosio. These riders on the new season announced Marusia Virgin. " What do you personally expect from this duo? – Timo Glock could well be the world champion, and D'Ambrosio – to repeat his achievement. During the tests, Glock was lying after surgery for appendicitis, while D'Ambrosio did a tremendous amount of work. But the theme of "duet" becomes irrelevant once the racers are switching to a new, fast car. This was well illustrated by the "Red Bull" in the last championship, when between Vettel and Webber it came at times to absurd things. – What would you change in the world of Formula 1, whether the fact your will? – I would not cover the driver so many buttons. It is clear that technical equipment is very important, vital, without a direct hit in the security zone up belly guaranteed. But I present a vague nostalgia for the days when the pilot was steering wheel, three pedals in the hand gearbox – and carried. Want to be racers showed themselves intellectually, sensually, wants to increase the role of personality. Do you understand? And then we came to the conclusion that when Vettel won hiscar on the tests put the two young pilots, and they show the same time! Return to the cave age is impossible, but to look for this delicate balance by which the racer will get an outstanding opportunity to express themselves. Maybe something will change in this regard tires Pirelli is a very specific tires with a specific behavior on the road … – And you are ready to sit behind the wheel and thereby make a tremendous PR campaign? You know perfectly well that such a PR campaign run … – Oh, we all seen enough to molodyaschegosya Schumacher, the way he wrestled with himself … And he wanted to cry out: "My friend, your skill is unquestionable, but the years some fly! "There are things that can not survive twice. I'm behind the wheel of his already "otsadilsya. I remember how he worked on the tests in the winter league "A1" (racing series, which were the national teams.. – Ed.) For the Russia national team. The first two rounds still keeps pace, and then you begin to circumvent the young pilots and the bypass is mainly just because you do not have enough promise, you're not ready to torture yourself more. I may be, and pass. As a veteran labor. When we make a new, fast car. But I will not hide at the same time, it would be a PR campaign, with the purest sample …
