Do these guys actually take themselves seriously at all now?

Neither of those videos are funny.

Can't really tell from that angle.

How about this one

My god they actually have what appears to be a car

Syla5 · 7 Feb 2014 at 23:05

That front nose looks pretty ok to be honest. Side pods look tight and sculpted. I wonder how much actual running they got done today.

Or is it tomorrow that they attempt to run?

That isn't this years car, it's an old car with bits bolted on to make it look 2014ish.

I really like that front. It's a lot longer and more spacious in-between that I had initially thought. Can't wait to see how they do in testing.

That front wing looks wide!

Good video talking about the 2014 season

He drove F1, he knows about driving Energy Recovery Technology racecars, he's now a BBC F1 reporter. So, getting Allan McNish to describe the new F1 technology, the new cars, and the new driving style needed to go fast and win in 2014 makes this /ShakeDown with Leo Parente a must see.

And then we handicap the field to start figuring out which teams are on the rise and which will struggle - Infiniti Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes AMG, McLaren, Lotus, Williams Caterham, et al. Plus, the drivers to watch - Hamilton, Alonso, Kimi, Vettel, Magnussen, et al.

As mentioned it is not this years car. It also has a beam wing.

My Corsa has more elements to its bumper than that thing has on it's front wing.

I'm not even convinced it's an actual car. It all looks out of perspective somehow, like one of those flat drawings made to trick the eye, but lying at the wrong angle. Probably just a wide-angle lens.

Good spot, looks like someone has been at the photo shop or lotus are wasting money attaching this years nose to last years main plane of the front wing.

Thanks for that vid - even if the presenter drove me up the wall lol.

Glad to hear McNish is back, always liked him.

Glaucus · 8 Feb 2014 at 11:02

Oh, I really like him. His shakedown vids are always great and interesing, plus he and a few others do 25hrs of 24hrs of lemons, or something like that.

Anyone know if Pirelli are going to use the 2013 or 2014 spec tyres for the coming GP2/GP3 season? If they're using 2014 then surely the tyres will be a lot more forgiving and we should see some balls to the wall racing in GP2/GP3?

Skeeter · 10 Feb 2014 at 08:21

GP2 and 3 have there own spec tyres. They follow the same prime and option format, but the compounds are different.

tummelv · 10 Feb 2014 at 10:18

Ahh, thought they used the exact same tyres as the F1.
