The F1 2014 season

[Shimmy]

Seems Olivier Quesnel may take the role of team principal at Lotus.

Never liked him as Citroen team boss in WRC. Can't see me liking him in F1.

 

[Skeeter]

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

They are badged the same but are different. I don't know the full details, but it seems to generally be less grip than F1.

Like F1, the GP2 Tyres were far too soft last year and it stifled the racing. I hope they do toughen them up.

 

[Guerrilla]

I can remember reading the GP2 and GP3 used identical tyre compounds to F1, the idea was to get them used to racing with them.

Think this was a couple of seasons ago so not sure if they have changed that since then.

Williams Team shirts with Martini sponsorship have popped up, oops.

Quite looking forward to their livery. Also rumoured that Petrobas may sponsor Williams, here's hoping they have a better year.

Would be nice to see Martini colours back although I doubt rhy could stretch to paying for the whole car these days. If so I hope Williams don't try and merge in the Petronas colours too... Or god help us will they go Lotus 80 style and use the green Martini colors.?

I'm a huge fan of the Martini livery, would love to see what the car will look like.

Shirt looks very nice. Don't normally buy F1 clothing but I do like that.

I just bought a Tamiya Delta RC car pretty much for the Martini livery! Will build during the races

Williams to bring Martini livery back to Formula 1 in 2014
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/112504

Martini, one of motor racing's most iconic sponsors, is set to bring its famous white, blue and red colour scheme back to Formula 1 with Williams this year.

After months of speculation suggesting Martini could become Williams's title sponsor, sources have revealed that an agreement has been reached that will result in a full rebranding of the Williams car.

Good stuff

Not only is it a nice livery but Williams could do with a bit of a 'fresh start' hopefully it'll be a new (better) era for them, and hopefully they now have the budget to do well.

F1 Rejects.

Still the only F1-related podcast that I listen to. Pretty much the only F1-related website that I can even go near now without feeling like breaking something.
