    +1

    They were worried about the high noses spearing a driver in a side impact. Makes some sense I guess.

    Another +1

    IIRC, they're going to allow 4 (6?) two day tests immediately following races. Almost makes too much sense for these lunatics these days! So yeah, limited testing but no return to multiple test teams etc.

    Cheers,
    Ian

    Which of Lotus' noses will be the one determining the car went over the finish line though? The median of the two? haha, this should be fun

    No need to worry about that yet....I seriously doubt they'll be finishing races even if they make the grid.

    Rosberg shakes down new Mercedes W05 at Silverstone

    Nico Rosberg gave the new Mercedes W05 its first shakedown laps at Silverstone today, prior to the car’s official launch at Jerez on Tuesday morning.

    Rosberg’s run was one of the first by a 2014 spec car, as Jean-Eric Vergne and Daniil Kvyat also gave the new Toro Rosso STR9 its first miles at Misano.

    Teams are still allowed two private 100kms runs, despite the much stricter testing rules this year. They are known as ‘Promotional Events,’ and the cars have to run on special tyres provided by Pirelli. The FIA also has to be kept fully informed.

    Coke's Burn seems gone from the sponsors.

    Time for Coke to sponsor Ferrari

    Have you seen W05? I'm incredibly geeked here. Can't wait for the Red Bull/Vettel royal clock cleaning to begin.

    Agreed. Clever way to deal with the restriction as well as air manipulation.

    It sounds like F1 from the 80s, only better. I'm perfectly ok with this, sounds awesome. F1 lost a number of fans because of the engines sounding too high pitched too ya know.
