Force India are the first to release a photograph of their new car for the 2014 season and it's absolutely stunning.

MP429 - McLaren 2014 Formula 1 Car
McLaren were the second team to launch their car, though the sponsors are not yet present, it looks like McLaren and Mercedes may have a similar livery this year once again.

E22 - Lotus 2014 Formula 1 Car
Lotus have taken a somewhat different approach to their front wing, 2 prongs instead of one. There is already discussion as to whether this is legal.

Too big spoiler lol

That looks awesome.
RE: F1 2014 Season - Cola - 2014-01-22 14:08
Looks amazing indeed. I'm really excited, but also a little sceptical over this new season. Mostly due to the new engines, though.

That's the exciting bit though, it really is anyone's game this year.
RE: F1 2014 Season - Bez - 2014-01-22 14:43
Redbulls car's last season were too tuned & overpowered... Made the season quite boring for me. Lets hope we get some new first places from this season!

big shame for Di Resta, cant even get a seat despite being more talented than half these new kids

money money money...
RE: F1 2014 Season - Roba - 2014-01-22 16:04
Hah, the engines... Wasn't it also that they reduced the amount of engines available during the season? Because with the new Turbo engines it's expected they brake more often than the previous ones, making logic disappear.
RE: F1 2014 Season - Klurax - 2014-01-22 16:05
About time we get a Swede in a seat, it's been like 23 years.. and with the new engines it's going to be super duper interesting year.
RE: F1 2014 Season - Kyllone - 2014-01-22 17:38
Excited to see these new drivers, excited to see the new cars and really excited to see Kimi and Alonso.
They'll make Alonso 1st driver surely, and when Kimi's been asked to pull over, he just doesn't care. Hopefully it'll be hilarious.
RE: F1 2014 Season - Makee - 2014-01-22 17:38
Yes Roba, 5 engines.
RE: F1 2014 Season - Johan. - 2014-01-22 19:01
Ahhh Van Der Garde is on the extra/spare seat at Sauber. Not sure if thats better than driving for Caterham, but who knows. I'll sure try to follow some of the races, very interested in the engine sounds. (As thats what I usually watch it for anyway)
RE: F1 2014 Season - Stephen - 2014-01-22 19:35
As long as the tyres don't become an issue (always complaining about tyre wear) and they ditch Pirelli for Bridgestone, I'm happy.
RE: F1 2014 Season - Connor - 2014-01-22 19:39
Caterham said they may be pulling out. (Well the boss has said)

They got too much money put into it and barely made any progress at all sadly. But this year will be different.
Heja Sverige.

Pirelli have a contract until at least 2016.
RE: F1 2014 Season - Edwin - 2014-01-22 20:59
Kamui Kobayashi is back in F1, racing for caterham. Prepare to see them flamboyant overtakes

Plus they are only meeting the requirements which the FIA set. I'm sure, if allowed, they could make a tyre which is fast and can last all/most of the race.
Really looking forward to this season though, shaping up to be the most interesting one yet (at least in the last few decades).
