F1 2014 Season: Lineup's - Rumours - News

New buyers have been looking around Hinwil over the weekend. Apparently Raikkonen is something to do with it. I thought Kimi had links with the Lotus buy out too? Is he going around scamming everyone?

 

I'll get the Chaplin music ready

 

So Vettel may be doing doughnuts but this time not on purpose

 

Anyone else think that the test in Bahrain tomorrow is pretty much pointless? If they're testing 2014 tyres I don't see how much use the data will be to the teams if they're running 2013 cars or older. The 2014 cars will be different in terms of torque and aerodynamics so the tyres will react differently.

 

I think it's more of an extensive shake down for Pirelli to test the reliability of the tyres than anything else. The teams will just want to get any lead they can on the tyres and find out how they compare to this year's. I think Kvyat will be the only person who really gains anything from it.

 

And then when RBR kick off next year because they'r enot winning everything in sight, Pirelli will change compounds again to suit them and all the testing becomes a waste of time anyway ..........

 

2015 talk but Do Ron has no problems with an Alonso return.

Does Alonso still have a problem with him is the real issue

 

I suppose it all depends on how good the Ferrari engine, and maybe Button will have retired

 

yeah, because it had nothing to do with the tyres blowing up at silverstone at all

 

Turrini says Kimi's new race engineer is Antonio Spagnolo. He also says Pat Fry will take over Steve Clark's responsibilities now that Allison is the technical director. Sporting director Rivola might be moved into a different role.

I would look so bad-ass in the lab with a Ferrari lab coat. Willing to bet they aren't for sale for sub-£100 though. And I'd spill something horrendous on it as soon as I got it.

 

Beans?

AN commenting on the new restrictions.

"If the regulations continue to become ever more restrictive we'll eventually get the point where the car's more or less designed by the rulebook," Newey told Autosport. "You'll then have, effectively, GP1 cars where the differentiators are the engine and the driver. For me, it's not Formula 1." - See more at: http://www.f1times.co.uk/news/display/08324#sthash.s7DqPkHw.dpuf

Thats Vettel himself.

 

Bad as value beans are, they're not quite as toxic as a lot the chemistry lab throws at me.
