“…But neither did the FIA. On 13 March 2011, the Bahrain Formula 1 Grand Prix, supposed to be the F1 world championship’s season-opener (Alnaser et al, 2005 , p. 352), was postponed due to civil unrest. Although human rights organisations reported that pro-democracy gatherings had been dispersed by force and with the subsequent use of torture, FIA representatives concluded, after having done their own investigation, that the country was stable.…”

When Jean Todt became Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) president in 2009, he made good use of the Mosley legacy. At the same time, he engineered a series of new reforms that would mark the greatest difference between the old and the new FIA. This chapter explores a selection of organisational innovations during Todt’s three presidential periods (2009–2021). This selection includes two presidential elections in 2009 and 2013 which had a hitherto unrivalled emphasis on good governance, a political debacle (the F1 Bahrain Grand Prix), a structural revamp (the establishing the FIA Statutes Review), the introduction of an external audit (aided by consulting firm, Deloitte), and a proactive media strategy to comprehend a media logic (by publishing AUTO magazine from 2012 onwards). Together, this combination of substantive and symbolic actions represents the FIA’s desire to renew its legitimacy among its members, motorists, and other stakeholders.

This article reports estimates of the level of CO 2 emissions created by Formula One (F1) cars on Sunday races. Supported by a variety of sources and using Monte Carlo iterations, we obtained values identifying important periods of change. These periods were identified using tests of structural breaks. We observe that the 1966-1970 period (related to the dominance of DFV/Cosworth engines) is associated with an increase in CO 2 emissions, whereas the 1992-1995 period (related to lighter and more efficient engines) is associated with a decrease in estimated levels of emitted CO 2 . Our results do not identify the deep modifications following more "green" regulations in 2009-2011 as a relevant change.

“…10 where the density of each wave packet has been displayed vs time. In the model calculation [33], we assumed a Gaussian wave packet of width (FWHM) of 8 fs and the D 2 was ionized initially at the peak of the laser pulse. The tail of the laser pulse couples the two electronic states.…”

“…With the present-day laser technology, this is most easily done by using a coherent probe laser with sufficient range of time delay to ionize the D + 2 ion. Such an experiment has been carried out at Kansas State University recently [33]. After the initial pump with an 8 fs pulse with peak intensity of 3 × 10 14 W/cm 2 , an intense 8 fs probe pulse with higher peak intensity 8 × 10 14 W/cm 2 was used to ionize the D + 2 ion.…”

It is shown that by measuring the angular distributions of fragmented ions of simple molecules by sub-10 fs laser pulses at intensities in the non-sequential double ionization regime the electron density of the highest occupied molecular orbital can be probed directly. It is also shown that using a single laser pulse, from the kinetic energy release of the fragmented ions following the double ionization of H2, the time interval between the two ionizations can be controlled and determined to sub-fs accuracy by varying the pulse duration and laser intensity. Furthermore, using a pump-probe scheme the time evolution of the vibrational wave packet on two potential surfaces can be mapped directly using two sub-10 fs lasers. Theoretical models are used to explain these recent experiments.
