And now for something completely different.

Ferrari

Nick Koan · 2014-01-27, 07:54 PM

STR

um...

Nick Koan · 2014-01-27, 08:26 PM

The new Sauber looks nice

We've seen worse.

Kevin M · 2014-01-27, 08:31 PM

Nick Koan · 2014-01-28, 09:03 AM

Caterham

Nick Koan · 2014-01-28, 09:04 AM

Oh, there is the Force India nose

Nick Koan · 2014-01-28, 09:05 AM

Mercedes

Nick Koan · 2014-01-28, 10:32 AM

RBR

It's like a sausage fest up in 2014.

I really hope Mclaren and Ferrari are fast, so everyone else will copy their schlong-less noses.

I will say, Caterham's is pretty interesting. Reminds me of Villeneuve's Ferrari in a way:

I'm impressed with the number of laps Mercedes has put down. Their car seems to be reliable... Mechanically, the aero not so much.

Bump!

Has the Red Bull dominance finally been cracked?

Quote:

Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has suggested that the double title-holding outfit finds itself two months behind its rivals ahead of the opening round in Australia, after enduring a disastrous testing period.

The Milton Keynes-based squad failed to rack up meaningful mileage over the trio of pre-season gatherings, with Renault's new turbocharged power unit proving troublesome and the RB10 suffering from cooling problems.

And during an interview on Red Bull's Servus TV channel, Marko said a massive challenge lies ahead.

"The opening race comes at least two months too early for us. This is a very serious matter," Marko stated.

"At the moment we do not know in what time frame it will be possible to catch up, or if it is possible at all."

Discussing Renault's issues in more detail, Marko said: "We are struggling with turbo lag. You step on the gas, but the power does not arrive. It comes all of a sudden; the wheels spin, the car slides and you lose speed.

"We are working with Renault on the test benches day and night to improve the situation for Melbourne."

http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1-news/3...on-says-marko/

Maybe it's all a smokescreen, but if Red Bull is really behind the field, maybe some of the other teams will have a prayer. Certainly in the last few seasons when Ferrari was off the pace at the start, they never recovered in time to win a championship.

Could be really entertaining this season if the top teams get mixed up a bit. I'm a little surprised that Red Bull and Renault would have problems that other teams don't have, considering RB/R's access to money and engineering... you'd think a rule change would actually help them stay ahead of the less funded teams. So maybe it's all bullshit... they're "2 months behind" which means they're only 1 month ahead instead of 3.

A bit of good news, Michael Schumacher is out of his coma and has left the hospital.

http://www.autoblog.com/2014/06/16/m...spital-report/

He's going to need a ton of rehab, but this is great news for Schumi.

Maybe I'm negative nancy, but that sounds too amazing to be true. People don't just wake up after 6 months of coma.

Here's to hoping it's not BS and he's actually able to make some sort of complete and lasting recovery!

My fear is that he's just going to be vegetable. Otherwise I think we would have seen him by now. It really is a pity.

Nick Koan · 2014-08-21, 08:18 AM

Chilton out (for Spa only) and American Alexander Rossi in

MattR · 2014-08-21, 09:41 AM

It appears Kamui Kobayahsi will sit out Spa and give his Caterham seat to Andre Lotterer of Audi Sporst car fame... Silly season beginning I suppose

Crap! I need to update the f1 roster then. When am I going to have time to do that?

Bob Danger · 2014-08-21, 05:29 PM

I suspect Haas had a hand in getting Rossi a seat. With Haas being in bed with Ferrari, and Ferrari's relationship with Marussia. I'd be willing to bet Haas signs Rossi.

Sucks for Kamui, the guy does everything he can to get a seat then gets the cold shoulder.

I went ahead and added the drivers in for now. They should be selectable now. I had to make a guess at their acroynms. I picked RSI for Rossi (since ROS is already Rosberg) and LOT for Lotterer.

Awesome, thanks Nick!

MattR · 2014-08-22, 03:32 PM

Sounds like Rossi is back out now...Rumor is Chiltons daddy finally paid the tab for the seat

Nick Koan · 2014-08-22, 03:36 PM

That's going to totally screw up my picks!

How much does an F1 seat cost? I wonder if I could just go into life-altering debt in order to run one race in a shitty F1 car?

It would be totally worth it.
