Got any inside gossip on next years line up for F1?

Haha, no. You'll probably know before me!

Thats a shame, looks like London will be the last race of the season now, rather than the first due to logistics.
Perhaps its because of the f1 complaints about next year with all the flying between races.
Wonder who will have the first race, it must be one of the far ones, as they must be clumping all the euro races together which due to London being at the London, must be the second half of the season. Was looking forward to seeing the first ever race live.

From the tone of the article I was reading on this earlier in the week (http://www.pitpass.com/49986/London-Formula-E-race-moved-to-2015) I got the impression that the 'logistical issues' relate more to actually organising the London race and that grouping the European races together is a convenient side effect which allows them to put a positive spin on it.
It looks like they haven't even decided where in London they're actually going to run it yet.
First race is stated in there as being in Beijing

wave of the future. will watch early races for sure and reserve judgement
but they need a sound engineer for that engine sound - car manufacturers spend hours working on sound of car doors closing, I hope they can come with something better than what I have heard on the vids; hire the guy that did Star Wars sound effects or something.

I really hope they scrap that 'Fanboost', that is a truly awful idea.

Hell yeah. They'll be number 1 team to support, followed by drayson.
Now in the second season i want them or another group. To get these prototype batteries out of the lab and into the car. Even if they cant mass produce them at the moment. Change are car, pfft.

The EY report is interesting.

I have to say that my involvment in this project has already changed my perception of electric vehicles, especially from a performance point of view. I can see how that report could be bang on. I wish I could tell you about what I saw on this project yesterday, it certainly opened my eyes!
