Amin Posted 28 January 2014 Author Posted 28 January 2014 1 Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari) 1:27.104 2 Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) 1:27.820 The only two drivers who really did anything.
Alexikokopops Posted 30 January 2014 Posted 30 January 2014 That nose is horrid Solutions, not problems
isaidno Posted 31 January 2014 Posted 31 January 2014 Red Bull did 20 laps over 4 days and went home early
Amin Posted 31 January 2014 Author Posted 31 January 2014 The Renault engine teams are in deep shit. Renault themselves have admitted that they've got a big problem that they can't identify on their dyno. This may be the year to bet against Vettel.

I'm enjoying this about time , hope they don't fix the issue, we can hopefully have a competitive championship this year....

A lot of money has gone on Button , down to 10/1. Impossible to tell after 1 test
Asha Posted 6 February 2014 Posted 6 February 2014 Should be exciting with Red Bull struggling. This is why double points races at the end of the season are a joke though, especially if there's three of them, as it gives Red Bull more of a cushion. They can be shit for a while and win the doubles (they usually win at Abu Dhabi and Brazil anyway) and they'll probably still take it. Anyway, if McLaren are back in contention and Lotus can keep their shit together we're in for an almighty Championship.
Chilwell_Fox Posted 10 February 2014 Posted 10 February 2014 Hoping that this season will be a lot more compettitive
isaidno Posted 10 February 2014 Posted 10 February 2014 I was on a hybrid technology training course last week , and the assessor thinks the engines will be really unreliable . Too much power going through a 1600 engine
ADK Posted 11 February 2014 Posted 11 February 2014 Surely it won't be any worse than it was in the 80's though? I believe the power is still less than it was and fault testing technology has improved massively. Might see a few more failures especially to begin with though. Hoping for an exciting season, it really is a shame we've still got things like the mickey mouse double points idea though.
Danizen Posted 18 February 2014 Posted 18 February 2014 http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/26178312 Legend. And I agree with every word.
Jimmy Posted 19 February 2014 Posted 19 February 2014 and to further prove his point there is this video which sums up perfectly why Vettel is so unpopular, and not in a Schumacher is so dominant way either, he's babied by the team, he would never allow someone like Kimi, Alonso, Lewis or even Button as his team mate as they could and would beat him regularly...

Hoping for an exciting season, it really is a shame we've still got things like the mickey mouse double points idea though.You cannot underestimate how big these changes are, its not just the size of the engine. Its more electric power added, which in turn adds weight and has big reliability issues. The nose has had to be dramatically redesigned amongst other body changes. Every team has had to rip up the blueprint and start again, with not much time to test. This could go to any team or driver, its impossible to predict.

Alonso, Raikkonen and Hamilton have all asked for, and rejected, team orders in the past. Nothing out of the ordinary.
isaidno Posted 19 February 2014 Posted 19 February 2014 3 and half hours of testing so far and no running by Red Bull or Torro Rosso
foxes_rule1978 Posted 19 February 2014 Posted 19 February 2014 Love it I think this season might well be interesting after all
foxes_rule1978 Posted 21 February 2014 Posted 21 February 2014 Lewis Hamilton finally in a car that could win the championship, who knows but Mercedes and McLaren are looking in great shape
isaidno Posted 21 February 2014 Posted 21 February 2014 Red Bull managed 28 laps todays before the car broke.
Legend_in_blue Posted 21 February 2014 Posted 21 February 2014 The sound of the engines is pretty non existant. What else are they going to do to take the racing out of f1? Standing by Maggots will never be the same again

Standing by Maggots will never be the same again I was thinking they could stick loud speakers on the back to make the engine noises so you get the full effect...
isaidno Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 Mercedes powered cars fastest on all days of testing so far
Danizen Posted 22 February 2014 Posted 22 February 2014 Mercedes powered cars fastest on all days of testing so farI read that Mercedes, McLaren and Force India are pooling data so it can't be a coincidence.Three likable teams, there. Hope they all do well.
