And... the stupid idea of giving double points in the last race goes ahead:

It seems that virtually all the teams were against it, but no-one wanted to fall out with Bernie over it.

at least some of the dumb ideas never materialised. sprinklers to produce artificial rain being one of the biggest

I must be one of the only people who actually agrees with the double points on the last race!

It would avoid situations like the farcical end to last season - Vettel winning with a quarter of the races still to go, and Raikkonen not bothering with the last couple of races (I know there were other factors involved but if there was a possibility of actually achieving something in the last race it probably wouldn't have happened).

Looking forward to this season now, new cars, new drivers, shake up of management staff. Let's hope it's a bit more exciting than the inevitability of last season.

New engines too ... Wonder how many blow ups there will be on the 1.6s generally get a few reliability issues when something's all new

Really excited for the new season, the 2014 Ferrari looks stunning, cleverly named the F14 T

Real shame to see PDR fall out of F1, that guy can really drive

Ross Brawn won't be going to McLaren afterall - Eric Boullier is expected to be joining from Lotus to replace Whitmarsh now:

oh interesting

Pre season testing in Jerez started today, Lewis smashed his car up already and the Lotus design team were clearly pissed when they decided on this nose for the 2014 car........!!





HAMILTONS CRASH DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE

Ferrari and Mercedes are the only decent ones
The lotus looks ok from the side
The Caterham is just a disaster

The "howl" has gone, think they need a bit of Mountuning

Plenty of beautifully challenged cars this season.

At least they actually look different this year, they always looked the same so we can see which will be variably different this season!

Im with Stevie, the Merc and Ferrari look nice but the rest are no goers so far
