Johny Bravo Posted January 29, 2014 Share Interesting about the Renault engine troubles. But.... still a while to go before the season starts. Just leaves them with other issues rather than concentrating on more development. Sad, of course, but a nice touch on Jenson's helmet.Jensons Dad was awsome. Saw him at every race, I think he was a real fan and supported Jenson so well. I will miss seeing him at races for sure.

SeaBee Posted January 30, 2014 Share Had to giggle at this... Lotus humour! And then that bloke in Jerez said "Gentlemen, start your engines..." Apparently, some Spanish spice today...Darn, this (and Merc) does look a lot better than the rest!

jimmy hardtail Posted January 30, 2014 Share Finally got to hear the v6 turbo engine sound. Not too bad, has a nice growl to it and that beautiful smooth sound that you only get from a six or twelve cylinder. Of course nothing sounds as good as a v12 at full revs!

We're not sure what the cause is yet. 10:58 Red Bull is out. Daniel Ricciardo takes to the track for the first time in the RB10, which has completed just 11 laps so far in 2014 testing.

Looks like Vettel may have asked Renault to give him a challenge for winning the title this year seeing as how none of the drivers seem to be able to in last few years.Maybe more of a challenge than he wanted though.........

Cellar Posted January 30, 2014 Share Thanks for that clip. Sounds awesome.Don't get me wrong, sounds a little like Lakefield drive in Benoni on a Friday night, but still awesome. That Force India going into the pit lane was fantastic! PS, what the effff was that thing sticking up off the top of the ferrari? Was Alonso hitting the beach for some surfing after?

Capricorn Posted January 30, 2014 Share that redbull sounds like it has some serious timing issues. Wonder if that's a mast for ultra high speed data collection on the ferrari. There was something thin and shiny right on top of it. oh and the nose shape, is actually this: http://www.t-nation.com/img/photos/2011/11-659-03/flip-the-bird.jpg Edited January 30, 2014 by Capricorn Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/101519-formula-1/page/68/#findComment-2200347 Share on other sites More sharing options...
