Yeah, there is special room in Brixworth, dedicated to engines that will go to Woking. :PBut they wont! They´ll have the most reliable engines of them all! *snicker*
Expect everything else to fall into place after it.@bgarloff: Lotus will announce @Pastormaldo today in the afternoon.

I bring good news, 2014 engines sound fine. Unless that is they plan on giving LaFerrari a turbo

Bahrain will be a night race
"Bahrain GP organisers have also promised upgrades to the spectator facilities at the track, as well as light shows to enhance the spectacle of the night race.
Riots and fire bombs!

Two mandatory stops being considered for 2014
I wouldn't mind this at all, if the tyres are a bit harder we could see drivers push a lot more.

How can you not mind mandatory pit stops at apparently fixed windows? That's horrible.
They might need to tweak the distances allowed for a set of tyres, but it could turn out to be pretty goodl IMO. It all depends on the tyres though, if they wear out pretty quickly everyone will just cruise to a two stopper, but if they're durable we could see some nice sprint racing.
Anyway, it might not happen at all, so don't freak out just yet!

Fuck this shit.I'm okay with that.

So introduce tyres that degrade rapidly to encourage different strategies and then enforce one strategy for everyone? Cool.
Damn, what is that? Sounds awesome regardless!I bring good news, 2014 engines sound fine. Unless that is they plan on giving LaFerrari a turbo

Yeah, that's what annoys me about it. Why bother with pitstops at all in that case?So introduce tyres that degrade rapidly to encourage different strategies and then enforce one strategy for everyone? Cool.
I mean refuelling was dangerous, that's gone. Pitstops are dangerous too, so best to have tyres that last all race and have those gone as well.
Lotus twitter just confirmed their lineup in their way.
@Lotus_F1Team: You never forget your first time...
For me the acid test will be hearing it in person. F1 cars in video have very little impact (aurally) vs how they do in the real world.
The WCS trophy?

Hey, I would like to see mandatory toilette stop during the race. Where can I inform FIA about this idea?
This is quite normal practice when new engines are developed, they are fitted on 'mule' cars and driven around.... I bet that Mercedes and Renault did the same thing on their testing tracks.Ferrari trying to be discreet in their testing of next years engine. They stuck it inside a modified LaFerrari like they did when they moved to V8 engines and used the Enzo.
Could have been worse if the rumoured Perez / Maldonado thing happened. At least Grosjean still has a drive.
Now we need a Maldonado version of that Grosjean/Boullier gif!
I wont get to hear them until August.

A little clip of red bull revving their engines after brazil. Better quality sound than the caterham one.

Pornographic.
Got my Melbourne GP and China GP tickets.
RIGHT, lets see if I witness an Alonso win.

Wow, Austrian GP is nearly sold out. Only expensive tickets remain. Well, it is Hungaroring for me :(
Haha, this popped up on my FB feed.

I have an office in Melbourne, I work in Tokyo and Hong Kong but I live in Helsinki.Do you live in Australia? Regardless, we should catch up in Melbourne. I say that every year to everyone on GAF that goes, but I'd love to make a point of it next year.
Lets see how it goes, where are you sitting?
By the power of international communications and jet planes I am able to make it work. It can be a pain in the ass sometimes but I can usually plan my travel around the asian races.
Bizarely I always seem to be in Japan in october....
I decided for this year I am changing seats for the races. Normally I sit on S/F or on T1, you usually see OTing or failed attempts. I am going for speed now, so at Melbourne I will be at Waite.

Ah, nice. I'm still not sick of the sound of downshifting, and it'll be interesting to hear how the V6s sound doing so. Hopefully not like arse.
The V6's will sound great of course, and with the turbo whine its going to be a great new chapter.
I remember the snarl of the old Ferrari 412 V12's and when they were gone the V8's were fine too. It will all be fine.

Paul Di Resta without a seat for 2014 is the biggest pile of shit ever. He out performed Sutil and then gets dropped like a brick. So gutted.
DiResta had to go, he wasnt very good.
Sutil is out too, Perez takes his seat.
