Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread

This would be flabbergasting, if true. Lowdon thinks it'll be over if they sell the stuff

http://www1.skysports.com/f1/news/12...p-for-marussia

but when you consider the factory's gone surely they're now in a position where they'll have set up costs?

Can't see it happening. Hope I'm wrong.

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread

FIA Super Licence rules amendment

From 2016, drivers must have accumulated 40 points over a 3 year period. Points will be allocated dependent on which motor series they have taken part in, and levels of results achieved.

Drivers must also be 18+, spent at least 2 years in junior single seater categories, hold a valid road driving licence and pass a test on the sporting regulations of F1. Existing requirement of 300 km in a recent F1 car remains in place.

These rules mean that Max Verstappen would be ineligible for the 2015 season if the rules existed now. More details in the article: http://www.formula1.com/news/headlin...5/1/16755.html

Virtual safery car rules finalised: http://www.formula1.com/news/headlin...5/1/16758.html

Car launch dates

Williams - Second pre season test in Barcelona (Feb 19)
McLaren - Digital launch on Thursday January 29.
Ferrari - January 30
Mercedes - First day of first pre season test (Feb 1)
Force India - 21 January, broadcast live from the team's website from 1500 GMT

Lotus will be using the latest Mercedes engine this season, this could get interesting.

They're confidently talking the new car up as well, whilst Williams are saying that they might have lost a bit with the new nose changes.

I was expecting them to move away from the silver, but it still looks good.

Looks like the 2012 car. Was hoping for something new but it does look good.

Not sure where they'll be, though.
