The F1 2014 season

[Merlin5]

Roll on March 14th. Should be great with 4 new circuits.

The championship will see the addition of four new and returning races: the Grand Prix of Russia will be held for the first time at the Sochi International Street Circuit in Sochi, and the Grand Prix of America will be held at the Port Imperial Street Circuit in Weehawken, New Jersey, whilst the Grands Prix of Austria and Mexico will be revived, with the races to be held at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, and the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City respectively.

Couple of questions that may have been answered in the forum but which I've probably missed.

How come they're going from 2.4 V8 to 1.6 V6, doesn't that mean less power?

What's happening with Perez since Kevin Magnussen is now pairing up with Button?

So KERS will be used more per lap than it has been, interesting.

Pity about Di Resta. I'd like to have seen him offered a different seat with a better team, say with McLaren or Lotus. Still, Force India have been doing quite well I suppose.

I wonder if Max Chilton has been offered anything or if he's out of F1. Didn't exactly show any extraordinary talent through the season albeit he was in the slowest car.
