In on 1, and here's to an exciting season (especially if Hamilton ends up with a DNF at least 25% of the races).

I'm going to take a guess that Alonso will have a much worse car than he did this past year...

My only wishes for this season are:

1) No serious injuries
2) Hamilton embarrassed the majority of the time by DNFs that are his own fault.
3) Raikkonen out-drives Vettel
4) Honda engine lives up to the hype

I think this should be a good season

Oh yeah !

Ferrari and Renault ( and Mercedes ) will be able to make their engine evolve along the season, with a system of points ( 12 ) that will allow them to make 12 mods along the season !  Ferrari and Renault found a loophole in the rules, and the FIA had to comply.  Mercedes big advantage of 2014 might not remain intact,

As for now, Honda is excluded from it and I'll to apply the same rule as 2014.. A cold shower for Alonso... Unless they change the rules again

Here's the details.

I think it's BS as far as Honda is concerned.

Basically, it's just BS period. The lack of testing and in-season development is making the racing a lot less competitive and interesting. While it was fun watching Mercedes' two drivers swap the lead, and the resurgence of Williams was a nice surprise, with no ability to improve their cars and powertrains, the season was all but over by Melbourne.





While we'll never again see the all-out technology racing of the 90's, they've gone way too far into technical restrictions.





While I'm bitching - get rid of the enviro-weenie crap.

I usually don't like Peter Windsor because he's so long winded but this video is pretty good because it's mostly Craig Scarborough (ScarbsF1) talking about 2015 noses.

Honda wanted to play smarter by joining one year after everyone else so they could pick the best design from the existing ones..

Now they seem to be completely screwed.

I just can't see the rules as they are stand though

Mercedes and McLaren changing colors?

I think McLaren is ready. Go back to the classic orange or the white/orange of the 80's and 90's.

There is no way they could stay silver without having a Merc engine on board, IIRC that was why they switched in the first place.  I LIKE both of the liveries on that page, the Mclaren just looks good, like a poster I want on my bedroom wall good, and the Merc looks very mean and business-like.



Good to hear on the engine change allowances, I cannot believe Honda will let the whole not having the 12 tokens thing slide though.. they are putting a LOT of money into their new debut into F1.

So Ferrari is spending about 40millions with an Austrian company to build a giant treadmill capable of testing engine, brakes and ERS systems....

Yeah.. A treadmill...


To simulate simply driving the car on a track.....



This is getting ridiculous.. The test limit rule is the worst thing that ever happened to F1
