Sweet!  F1 isn't the same without at least one Japanese driver doing Kamikaze overtakes.

I know Kobayashi has haters here, but I love watching him race.  He has no fear and fights for every position.

I love the guy (no homo), not only is he a really good driver (he screws up very few of his nutty overtakes) but he's really down to earth also.



I would put him on par with RoGro if they were in similar cars.



LIKE the new FI colors, hope it runs as good as it looks, Hulk needs a seat with a top team next year.

Agreed--I am glad he got another drive as well. When everything is clicking with him, he's hard to stop.

You're not an underdog when you push McLaren's shit in all year long, while using their technical support..

Prayers to Schumi, my all time favorite driver.

Not that it's the end of the world but the one new engine I heard sounded like a swarm of really, really pissed off bees.  Worse than listening to a World Cup game in South Africa.

FORZA FERRARI!

I refuse to complain about the engines till I hear them in person.  I was convinced that the V-8's would sound like piddling little weedwackers after the V-10 era, but they turned out alright.  I really don't like the 15K rev limit though... I wish they would nix that.. I wanna hear a turbo'd car at 20K+.





It might JUST turn out to be a good year to be a Ferrari fan too, if the design department has gotten their collective shit together.  



Let's see if they can put the brakes on the RBR machine... I wanna see Seb pissed off at least once this year.

I know it... Charging off the turbo is a really cool idea.  Another part that could grenade easily though.  I so wish I could be a fly on the wall in the dyno rooms at Mercedes and Renault.

Eric Boullier out as team principal at Lotus. (Said to be heading for McLaren)

Replaced by Lotus F1 co-chairman Gerard Lopez. (Genii Capital wanted to "close the gap between its strategic, commercial and sporting activities")

ETA: And in other news, no more stopping on the track after the race. Cars must be able to return to parc ferme.

They are also allowing the teams to break curfew (6) times this year (up from 2).

Boullier out from Lotus, set to step in at McLaren.

Damn. Really dashes my hopes for Ross Brawn at McLaren.

Besides the money issues at Lotus, I wonder if Lotus' performance with Grojean in the second half of 2013 caused McLaren to hunt him out.

They may be looking to make a 'Brawn 2009' style play - either find our trick feature legal or we have to pull out.

F1 really can't stand to lose a team.

Ron likes to develop young drivers like he did with Hakkinen, Raikonnen and Hamilton.  I'm sure his experience with Alonso has left him with a bad taste regarding established stars.  Ron also wasn't thrilled with the last few years Senna raced with them...

Grosjean to McLaren would make a good fit if Magnussen doesn't pan out.  RJ is the classic 'Don't rock the boat', smile for the cameras type that Ron loves.  Remember that Kimi left because he was tired of Ron's corporate bullshit.

ScarbsF1 mentioned one "Tusk" May be a fake and the other the actual nose/crash structure.

Also, remember that Williams and Toyota had the double diffuser in 2009...

Water off a duck's back man.  I remember saying the same shit about Schumi. I'll still like Seb even if he has a bad year, he's a pretty cool kid that has done a lot for someone of his age.  I'm just glad Webber took him behind the schoolhouse and kicked his ass after '10 so he stopped running into people.
And DON'T CALL KIMI A DICKFACE!  I'm having a conundrum this year, I don't like Ferrari, but but but... ITS KIMI!  Dammit.
OK, scratch that, I am indifferent to Ferrari, I just don't like the Tifosi.
At least the Tifosi here aren't too bad.  It's downright irritating on the European boards, animated FORZA FERRARI gifs all over the place if they win, excuses and bitching as to how they were cheated out of it if they lose.
