Ferrari Seeks Biofuel With Winning Edge
ITALY - It is a polluted October morning in Shanghai, and the roads are clogged with the traffic that ensnares every large Chinese city. But Ferrari’s guest room at the Shanghai International Circuit is a world apart.European women in crisp white blouses and slim blue skirts serve Paris-perfect chocolate croissants while an espresso machine hums in the distance. Red shirts, the uniform of the Ferrari team, dot the room.
The Italian carmaker shares the room with Shell, the provider of the secret sauce behind its championship team.
Downstairs in Ferrari’s pit alongside the race track, Lisa Lilley, Shell’s Formula One technology manager, is getting ready for the Shanghai Grand Prix. Ms Lilley’s role is to ensure that Ferrari has the best possible fuel within the exacting guidelines of F1.
The fuel Shell supplies Ferrari, known as V-Power, was blended in Chester in the UK and shipped to Shanghai in small metal drums two to three weeks before the race.
