It would be great if Sauber can mix things at the top. Their approach with sidepods design is so differrent to other cars this year. I hope it will work out well for them.

Current forecast for Barcelona testing 19th-22nd is 10 degrees tops.

:D

Also on day 4 in Jerez Ferrari ran with some weird hole underneath the front wing

Probably something to get even more air underneath the car to get more out of their diffusor. Maybe like the hole Red Bull had last year in their nose, when Helmut Marko state that was to "cool the drivers feet".

Sauber had one as well, to enhance airflow quality. Can also be doing something neat with fluid switches somewhere.

Brilliant OP, thanks zere!

Looking forward to the season, only 30 days to the first race, can't believe we still don't know the full driver line up!

Looks like Sutil will be back next year, I think whoever performs worst at FI will lose their F1 careers.

I hope not. Sutil had his chance, but was never able to shine. And I doubt he brings more money than Kartikeyan, which is also rumored to have chances on a seat of FI. With the new rumors of Mallyas Airline going bankrupt, I hope we don't see another pay driver. I think Jules Bianchi showed at the test that he has what it takes and deserves a race seat.

1.42.9s Hammy on top gear, just smashes Vettel's time by over a second!

Testing results in Spain were pretty crazy. Looks like a much more exciting season than the last one was IMO, here's to hoping Raikkonen can take it!

F1 TV viewing figures down it seems?

Concerns over pay-TV strategy after audience declines in markets such as China, Russia, the US and the UK

Looking closer that viewing figures, 500million 2012 vs 515million 2011. It just looks to be China that has caused that dip?

Look how flat that nose is! Really looking forward to seeing what Bottas can do this season.

8th last year wasn't a true reflection of how good a car it was, I really hope this one is even better. Bottas will hopefully show Maldonado what a consistently fast guy can do. Also, that nose is very strange.

Yeah, that nose is crazy. One of the most distinct cars we've seen this season. Here's another angle of it.

Not going to ge better this year I feel.
In France for example, the Formula1 diffusion rights have been bought by a paid channel after 20 years of diffusion on a free one.
