Glad double points have been dropped.

 

Still dislike the three-car team idea.

 

Kudos to Mercedes on being so good, it's down to the other teams to work hard to close the gap. I really like the way they've gone about things this last season, allowing their drivers to race. Even though it was a one-car domination again it was so much of an improvement on 2013. 

Problem is they can't close the gap. In previous seasons rule changes were quickly enforced to allow teams to catch up and the cars all had similar amounts of power so the changes were mainly aero which is fairly easy to copy as it is visible. With the new engine development restrictions that diminish every year for the next 4 years, if you've got the most powerful engine, you'll always stay ahead of the chasing teams because you can't copy something you can't see. So expect 4 more years of mercedes dominance with no other team being allowed to catch them. Hardly fair is it. 

    But i suspect Ferrari may cry wolf again and get the rules on development changed as it affects their car business and Redbull will ditch Renault which allows them to fully develop their own engine from "scratch"  and seeing how  Honda have been able  to jump  in knowing the goalpost's that mercedes has set.

Back to back races in Korea and Spain :xmasunsure:

 

The FIA has announced that the Korean Grand Prix is set to return to the Formula 1 calendar for 2015, pushing the number of races up to 21.

Wednesday's FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting confirmed the F1 schedule for next year, with a Korean GP on May 3 being added.

The Korean race's status was highlighted as 'to be confirmed'.

It is unclear if the race is being planned at the Mokpo track that hosted the event from 2010-13, or if it will be the Seoul street circuit idea that is being pushed for by former race promoter Joe Chung.

The ratified calendar features a few tweaks from the provisional version that was announced in September.

The Bahrain GP has been moved to after the Chinese GP, with their race dates changing to form a back-to-back.

The Korean GP is then pencilled in to take place just a week before the Spanish GP.

 

2015 Formula 1 calendar

March 15 Australian GP
March 29 Malaysian GP
April 12 Chinese GP
April 19 Bahrain GP
May 3 Korean GP (TBC)
May 10 Spanish GP
May 24 Monaco GP
June 7 Canadian GP
June 21 Austrian GP
July 5 British GP
July 19 German GP
July 26 Hungarian GP
August 23 Belgian GP
September 6 Italian GP
September 20 Singapore GP

Some cvnt has driven a 4x4 through the doors at the Red Bull factory and nicked 60 trophies.

Really? What would you even do that?

They are mostly worthless replicas apparently, hope the idiots don't even get scrap value.

Well that's what I thought too. Even Christian Horner had said they're worthless, apart from sentimental value to the team.

"McLaren had intended to retain Magnussen on the basis that the team's data had suggested he was fractionally quicker"

 

No wonder their car is fvcking abysmal, one must presume according to their data it's by far the quickest on the grid.

 

 

Had to be, definitely the correct decision as far as gaining the most amount of points possible next season goes. I hope he'll surprise a few people, more than matched Lewis when he was there and at the very least he'll give Alonso more to think about than Kimi ever did.

McLaren officially confirm Alonso and Button as their race drivers for 2015, with Magnussen demoted as test and reserve driver. Not what I thought at first but can understand their decision.

Disappointed for Magnussen but for 2015 it made sense to keep Button alongside Alonso. Hopefully he'll get another chance in the future.

It's a shame they were delaying this, if they had made their mind up a couple of races left he might have been able to snag a place

I suspect Honda will want a customer team to help with the engine development and Magnusson will be put forward for a drive so I doubt he will be out for more than a season.

Magnusson would be disappointed to not have got the nod but I doubt it will be that bad for him, still very young and there aren't many better drivers around than Alonso and Button to learn from
