Parker Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Rumor has it Martini will be sponsoring Williams this year. Here is a fan made livery, which personally I think looks awesome. Parker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memnoch Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) are alchoholic beverages still allowed on F1 cars ? I thought that went the same way as cigarette manufacturers Also Boullier has left Lotus to join McLaren Edited January 24, 2014 by Memnoch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Lotus just posted this. Looks pretty good. McLaren has also given us a glimpse of their new car as well. Parker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenguy81 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 The thing that stands out on the McLaren is how tiny the rear wing looks Also they still don't have a main sponsor which is a bit worrying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nasty_Rory Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 NOOOOO - fuel restricted to 100kg on board and 100kg/hr max usage. That means a race like Monza (shortest time wise of the year at about 1hr 20 min) wont be run full throttle as the cars wont make it to the finish. The Cathederal of Speed, but without the speed. Only one gearbox specification for the year? 8 gears, 8 ratios specified.... Cars will have to use the same settings on Monza and Silverstone as they do on Monaco and Singapore... well I suppose the 8th gear isnt going to get much use in 2014 if thats the case.. I think the MP4-29 looks well though. but it does look like there is room to have PSNProfiles signed across a lot of that bodywork...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Here we have the Ferrari F14T, looms pretty damn good to me. There was certainly an overreaction to these years cars, think they look great so far. Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Now that we're getting more information about the cars and the season itself I have opened a thread for that. https://psnprofiles.com/forums/topic/12436-f1-2014-season-discussion/ This thread is supposed to be about the rules (and I'm very guilty of getting it off topic) so we should go back to discussing that here. So, on topic. I'm generally fine with most of the new rules for this season but one of the stupidest ones is teams can only specify one set of ratios for their 8 speed tranny this year whereas last year they had 30 sets of ratios to choose between. So it seems teams won't be able to set their car completely up for each track which I think will really take away from the racing. I don't see how anyone thought that was a good idea.

Memnoch Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 I guess it sounds like a bad idea, but we have to see where it'll take them - they do need to avoid becoming Formula 2000 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memnoch Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Mr Ecclestone now wants the last 3 races to be double points (strangely it is what Red bull have been asking for), but ALL teams must say yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasty_Rory Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Sure why dont we just give every team a joker card and then they can choose which race they want to play it at and get double points. But they have to choose to play the joker before qualifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memnoch Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 it would be so much easier to give out less points, but people want highscores ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reversj Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) The change in engines I can understand, the F1 has had a long history of different engines (V10 times, yay!). The one thing I cannot understand is the double points in the last race, it makes no sense whatsoever. I guess Vettel can be proud he is the reason why they brought that in but its a terrible decision in my opinion. Imagine a driver having a good season winning nearly everything, say for example Vettel and has a 30 pts lead into the last race. In the last race he has an engine failure and #2 in the competition wins that race making him the champion. Its basically competion distortion.

Nasty_Rory Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Oh noes, not less points. We want the winners to get gold stars that they can put on the side of their cars so we can see how many races they have won during the year. We want a sprinkler system at the desert tracks to liven them up a bit. We want topless grid girls, though not at the desert tracks - dont want to cause an international scene at a any place were slave labour may possibly be acceptable but nipples are not. We want a button in each car that activates a random road side boobytrap for the chasing car. We want Bernie to leave F1 the fuck alone! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memnoch Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 To be honest, Bernie has made F1 what it is today - doesn't mean old age hasn't helped the last few years though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasty_Rory Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I understand all the work and effort that Bernie has put into making F1 the global show it is. But I really dont understand the odd suggestions of the past few years. The World Champ is the winner of the most races idea the double points idea the taking F1 to places where there are no people at the race tracks as there are no fans there - Valencia, Turkey, China and the like. and taking classic tracks off the schedule. Maybe its all bluster and deception but its my believe that since the big split with the missus, Bernie has been a very strange old man indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more with that last sentence, seems to me like Bernie wants a real life Mario Kart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memnoch Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Most teams have gone against the 3 last races being double points, so it won't happen. Only RedBull wanted to keep it, most journalists and teams believe this is because they are going to suffer in the early stages of the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only RedBull wanted to keep it, most journalists and teams believe this is because they are going to suffer in the early stages of the championship The double points stuff is a stupid idea, but it would be better to have it for 3 races instead of 1. "Jenson Button believes this year's Formula One cars won't be much faster than the ones used in the GP2 series." Bleh, FIA are killing F1 and they're blind to it.
