Battery-fueled 600 kph 'bullet'

From Malcolm Campbell's Bluebird -- the first car to break the 300 mph barrier in 1935 -- to the jet and rocket-propelled speedsters of 1960s and 1970s, the famous bleached white speedway has hosted some of the most iconic cars ever built.

Now a new breed of racers are taking on the famous speedway.

The latest arrival on the salt flats is an electric car -- the Venturi Buckeye Bullet 3 (VBB-3).

A joint project of Monaco-based Venturi Automobiles and engineering students from Ohio State University, the car -- which is more than 11 meters long -- boasts an impressive 3,000 horsepower under the hood and an estimated top speed of 372 mph (600 kph).

The current world land speed record for a battery-powered car stands at 307 mph (495 kph) -- set by the team's previous model, the Venturi VBB-2.5 in 2010.

Attempts to surpass that mark in the intervening years have been hampered by bad weather -- the speedway was flooded in 2013 and last August slushy conditions dashed hopes again.

This year, the team is gearing up for another attempt with fingers crossed for a dry run in the summer.

"It's very exciting," lead project engineer Delphine Biscaye told CNN. "The speed, for sure, is like nothing else on Earth."

But it's not just about breaking records, according to Biscaye, who says this initiative is about developing new technologies.

"All the knowledge we have learned from this project and the testing we've done with VBB-3 is now used by engineers in the industry that are doing production cars," she added.

The technology developed has already transferred to Formula E -- the world's only all electric race series.

"The knowledge we've gained from this project is being used on the Formula E project," Biscaye enthuses. "In Formula E, we are a manufacturer this year, providing the powertrain."

But other automobile companies -- and even NASA -- are benefiting from this project, says Biscaye.

"Most of the new students that are working on the VBB-3 project are now working in the industry, for the likes of Ford, NASA and other companies, doing batteries and working on the future," she added.

"We are working with a lot of local companies. It's exciting to see (them) and the people of Monaco are showing real interest in our project, because it's not only a land speed project but also an electric and green ambition."

For Biscaye, the Venturi motto "Powered by Innovation" rings all too true.

"It's really motivating to see that it's not only the world of motorsport that is interested in our project," the Frenchwoman says. "People everywhere see the importance of this vehicle for research and the development of electric vehicles."

The life of a motorsport maverick

Photographer David Phipps share his images of James Hunt: Perched on his McLaren M26, James Hunt celebrates victory at the 1977 United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen racetrack, New York. Hunt would often celebrate in playboy style -- with a cigarette, a beer, and a model by his side.

Hunt salutes his home fans at Silverstone after winning the 1976 British Grand Prix. His victory was short-lived though, as other teams, including Ferrari -- home to his arch rival Niki Lauda -- complained he had been allowed to use a spare car after the race was restarted. Hunt was disqualified, handing victory to runner-up Lauda.

Hunt clinched his one and only F1 drivers' championship in the final race of the season -- the Japanese Grand Prix in Fuji. Here, McLaren team manager Teddy Mayer holds up three fingers to Hunt (right), who is climbing out of his car after the race, to signal he had finished third and clinched the 1976 title.

Mercedes boss blasts 'lunatic' theories

Although Hamilton -- who has endured a frustrating campaign -- came second to Rosberg in Sochi, his race was affected by an engine problem.

He was a little over seven seconds behind Rosberg when told of the problem and went on to finish 25 seconds adrift of his colleague, who is now 43 points clear of him at the top of the standings.

That led some to advance theories that Mercedes, a German team, were "sabotaging" Hamilton's efforts so German driver Rosberg could win the drivers' title.

But an angry Wolff said: "The team has been abused in some of the social media, and conspiracy theories are out there.

"I think it is very difficult to take people seriously out there when they are lying on their beds with their laptops on their chests and sending out those abusive messages.

"Of course we don't do it deliberately. My response to this is that I don't want to ignore this bunch of lunatics who think we would harm a driver who has been a double world champion for us.

"He hasn't let us down, and we wouldn't let him down. This is a mechanical sport -- these things happen."

Wolff pointed out that Mercedes mechanics had worked through the night after Hamilton suffered an engine failure in qualifying.

"They are doing their utmost because Lewis is so important to us," he added. "He has won two championships with this team. You wonder what goes through people's minds.

"The reason why I am being vocal about it is that I want to protect those guys because they are being hit by comments that are inexcusable, unfair and outright abusive without reason.

He said there "wasn't a doubt in my mind that I could win it" and added: "I had the pace, but then I had a problem with the engine again, so I had to back off."

The engine failure Hamilton suffered in qualifying left him 10th on the grid and followed a similar problem in China, when he was left at the back of the grid and finished seventh.

Speaking after the setback in Sochi, he said: "Do I think it is not going to happen again? No. There'll be problems ahead."

But he also stressed that he was "really happy for the team" after Rosberg's victory and added: "In any sport, or in any situation, the easiest thing is to jump to the negative.

"I just want to assure people that my guys are doing a fantastic job and it's not their fault."

Rosberg makes it three in a row in China

The Ferraris of Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen collided on the first lap and Rosberg's Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton lost his front wing after getting caught up in the incident.

Vettel recovered to finish second with Daniil Kvyat completing the podium for Red Bull, but there was a pointed exchange between the pair at the end of the race in Shanghai.

Four-time champion Vettel blamed Russia's Kvyat for the crash which saw the Ferraris come together.

"You came like a torpedo," he said. "I was racing," responded Kyvat with a sheepish grin.

"You were lucky this time," retorted Vettel before both headed off to the podium presentations.

Hamilton, who started from the back of the grid, made five pit stops during the course of the 56 laps, but battled to finish seventh in a car compromised by the earlier damage.

Rosberg was winning his sixth race in a row having dominated the back end of last season after Hamilton wrapped up his third world title.

With maximum points from three races, he leads this year's 21-round championship by 36 points from Hamilton.

Rosberg was briefly headed by Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo from the start, but the Australian was another driver to suffer cruel luck, as his left rear tire punctured with debris flying on to the track.

After the safety car was deployed, Ricciardo and others were able to recover lost time and he eventually finished a fine fourth, overtaking Hamilton on the way in his charge through the field.

Raikkonen took a battling fifth and Felipe Massa was sixth in the Williams.

Ricciardo is third in the title race, three points behind Hamilton, with Vettel fourth, a further three points back, but they all face a real fight to catch Rosberg, who is in the form of his life.

"The start was not quite good enough with Daniel but then I had a really quick car today, really great, attacked straight away and was able to pull a big gap after that," he said at the presentations.

From warehouse to world champions?

But it was in a warehouse in this trendy part of the British capital that Red Bull rolled out its 2016 car to remind its rivals it is the race team who dares to do things differently.

Even team principal Christian Horner was a little confused on his way to Wednesday's launch.

"I've not been up here before," he confessed. "I think I need to grow a bigger beard and come on a bicycle."

There was more theatrics on stage as a male dance troupe performed amid a cloud of dry ice before the car, finished in bold matte paint, was revealed. The show was complete when drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Daniil Kvyat walked out wearing their blue-hued camouflage race suits.

The camo kit looked cool but it did prompt the obvious question whether Red Bull will have anywhere to hide when the new season begins in Australia on March 20?

"It will be a season of two halves," Horner told CNN's The Circuit. "It will be a transitional year for us as a team.

"We went through a difficult cycle last year. We're emerging from that. The beginning of the year is going to be hard for us but there will be bigger gains during the European races."

It was an honest assessment after a 2015 season which was something of an annus horribilis for the four-time world champions.

The high-flying team finished fourth in the team standings, behind Mercedes, Ferrari and Williams, and failed to win a race for the first since 2008.

There were fractious scenes off track too as Horner engaged in a spat with engine supplier Renault -- which has struggled to match the grunt of Mercedes since the 2014 rule changes on engines -- and Red Bull tycoon Dietrich Mateschitz threatened to pull the plug on the team.

"There were times which were tough last year," Ricciardo summed up with cheery understatement. "Especially after 2014 when I experienced lots of success. It was more of a roller coaster season.

"The team is happy with what they've done in the offseason. Let's see what happens on track, but I do have faith in my guys that we have something stronger than we did this time last year.

"The car has got a nice stealth, aggressive look but hopefully we're not in too many people's mirrors this year.

"To improve on last year in terms of results and to get back on the top step [is the aim]. I'd love to win as many races as possible but I'll just ask for one, if I can get one this year that will be a good step in the right direction."

Ricciardo and his Russian teammate Kvyat will run the new-look car in preseason testing, which begins in Barcelona next week. The RB12's upgraded chassis will also be revealed replete in its new livery.

"It's sort of like Christmas Eve now, I know it's close and there are some good things to unwrap shortly," Ricciardo added.

"But even in testing there are still some question marks and so we just want to go racing. If I could jump on a plane now and go to straight to Melbourne [home of the Australian Grand Prix] I'd 100% do that right now!"

Leaving the Red Bull launch on a frozen February evening, Brick Lane was humming with restauranteurs hustling for business and a group of lively Londoners wearing face paint and wigs.

In the sport's more cash-conscious days, it is unusual for F1 teams to hold car launch parties but for Red Bull it was an opportunity to return to its roots as the sport's fun, energetic team -- rather than the listless complainers seen in 2015.

"It's part of going back to basics," agreed Horner, who was seen at the launch with his ex-Spice Girl wife Geri Horner, formerly Halliwell, and tennis ace Boris Becker.

"We're going for something a little more edgy, that marks us out as different from the crowd. We're a bit more individual compared to some of the more corporate competitors that we race against."

When the new season begins in just over a month's time, his revamped Red Bull team will be aiming to reassert itself against rivals Mercedes and Ferrari on the track.
