Winter testing in Jerez will start in a week!

Not sure if there's gonna be any tv coverage but it should be interesting to see what each team has come up with.

Jerez Jan 28-31

Ron Dennis back in charge at McLaren, but rumors are that he doesn't want to run the day to day stuff and that Ross Brawn will skip his hiatus to take the job. And that means Whitmarsh is out.

Yup,.. lot of shuffling around at the top.

If Horner does indeed take Ecclestone's place as the King of F1, what will that do to the Bull?

 

This could be one of the wildest seasons ever.

Here's a link for you Mike.

Sky is supposed to have video of each day of testing. So far, that's the only official video coverage I've heard of.

Just a few more days till Australia!

Here's the schedule for our first weekend of the the 2014 season.

BTW, you should be able to view the interviews that Will did with Lewis and Jensen on the same page.

vroom vroom

Getting ready for the madness that will be new engines and aero. This should be very interesting.

So far so good (although, the sound of those power units is going to take some getting used to).

If you missed it, The Road to Ferrari and Horsepower are worth watching. It was kinda cool to have an entire night of F1 to watch!

I described the new cars as ugly and sounding like a '70's Datsun with a blown muffler to a friend. I'll get used to it but geez.

crazy rainy aussie quali 

New beginning

I wonder who the hell decides what are the changes to be implemented each season and which are the goals of them. Bernie Ecclestone on acid? Wasn't this sport about speed? It's painful to see the cars going slower than past season. 

I'm afraid this is going as a boring season as the most boring we can remember. Looks like Ferrari isn't going to deliver a decent car yet again, and that Red Bull knows something nobody else knows. Honestly, I wish Mercedes can keep up there.

I liked the race.... lots going on.. wanted Button on the stand for his dad.. but overall good (the young guys in the hunt)

Exciting race for sure!

I was glad to see McLaren do so much better but felt sorry for poor Lotus.

Seeing the drivers grappling with those cars was a sight. And all the stuff going on made me forget the strange engine sounds for a bit.

It all seems to be a perfect storm for the rookie drivers though. As far as most of them are concerned, this is the way an F1 car drives!

Be that as it may, big congrats to Magnessun. McLaren looks like a bunch of genius' on that one!

Very cool to see Martini's colors on the Williams and to see them developing a decent car. The steady money can't hurt!

Hopefully the smoke will clear by mid season.

Don't know if everyone heard but Riccardo was disqualified for a fuel flow meter violation. Red Bull has appealed.

I thought the race was fun. I also think that if Bottas had not hit the wall Rosberg would had a challenger at the end. I'm dying to see what Massa can do in that car.

Crazy Quali - and okay race - but in the end I liked a lot of it.. I liked (most of) the results..

 

And I liked Masa not following orders.. 

 

Still getting use to the new rules..

I agree regarding Massa. If Bottas had enough to pass him, do it. If he didn't have enough skill to get around Massa, he sure as heck wasn't going to get around Button.

 

A good race for Lewis and all the proof I need that Ferrari should not be in the hands of the Italians. Think they can coax Ross Brawn back out of retirement??

Ha... indeed.

 

And also thinking about Masa... It is the Second Race, and you are calling out Team orders? Come on - lets race for a bit. 

I'm afraid that just proves the little faith Williams have on him, more or less the same I have But I agree, if Bottas hadn't the skill, or exceeding speed to overtake him, he probably wasn't fast enough to pass Button either.

 

It was a pretty boring race. Looks like Ricciardo inherited Weber's curse. Ferrari won't have a competitive car this year either. I wonder if Fernando will stay in Ferrari the next season. On the other hand, where would he go? What a waste of talent.

Oh what a race! I had fun with this one, a lot of things going on.

Montezemolo leaving 7 laps before the end was kind of pathetic. Will Ferrari be able to make that car faster?

I was cracking Debbie up because the few times that a Ferrari did pass something, I'd make statements like "Did Fernando just pass a taxi?" Pathetic.

 

The rest of the race was a lot of fun. Seeing Ricciardo head Vettel again was very pleasing, and seeing the former low-end teams dicing it up in the front end of the pack was awesome. I'm sad that Mercedes is showing such dominance, but then even Lewis and Nico gave us a great show. Massa and Bottas drove strong races, and Perez gets to flip of McLaren a little bit for getting on the podium.

 

Ferrari 2014 - the new Toro Rosso!!

Man,..

A hell of a race!

Good for all the mid-field teams and the rookies are still doing fantastic!

Wow.. what a really good race.. I am glad that merc called it in the end (fought til the last few laps).. very good racing all the way... It has been a long time since I have seen a really good race... very sad for Button, happy for Massa for a strong race..  Hard to see the Italians putting up a fight this year. 

 

More races like this please.....

Finally watches this. Awesome race!

So, if everything goes right, next year we will have an American F1 team to cheer for.
