Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 
Just watching the testing highlights. Red Bull are running a camouflaged livery to disguise some of their aero work, so they obviously think they have something very decent to hide, although Adrian Newey was beating his usual drum about being over-regulated. I think some of the cars are stunning. The new Lotus looks amazing in the traditional livery, but see it against the McLaren and it's incredible how tightly packed the Honda power unit is in the McLaren - so narrow. Ron Dennis has said that at some point the livery will change as well.

Ron has now said the livery will change when they get a new sponsor, not before.

He originally said "Our 2015 livery will change, but I'm not going to say when..."

If it's going to be when they finally sign a title sponsor then I guess that'll be never!

---------- Post added at 21:17 ---------- Previous post was at 21:09 ----------

Red Bull have turned up with only one front wing, so Daniil Kvyat, having broken it, has run today without any front wing!

Something very odd going on at Red Bull I reckon.

bbxxl 02-02-2015 23:07

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 
One wing does seem strange - maybe they think they don't need them, it didn't se to do Nico much harm when he broke his last year.

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 
Is there any actual live streaming of the testing? Highlights on F1 channel are rubbish, hardly get to see any of the cars. Just a lot of talking to drivers.

Oh well. Thanks anyway.

German GP this year looks unlikely according to Ecclestone. Crowds dwindled last year for the race, but he says they are still trying to rescue the race and host it at Hockenheim again this year. Link to REUTERS story.

Drivers for today's testing:

Rosberg for Mercedes, Ricciardo for Red Bull, Massa for Williams, Raikkonen for Ferrari, Alonso for McLaren, Carlos Sainz Jr. for Toro Rosso, Maldonado for Lotus and Nasr for Sauber.

McLaren sure is struggling with their new engine times like Red Bull did last year.

MalteseFalcon 03-02-2015 12:52

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 
Yes, I hope they can improve on these tests.

Day 4 line-up:

Hamilton for Mercedes, Kyvat for Red Bull, Massa for Williams, Raikkonen for Ferrari, Button for McLaren, Verstappen for Toro Rosso, Grosjean for Lotus & Ericsson for Sauber.

Yeah but look at those pics - how tight is that power unit packed? So skinny it's untrue. If they're managing to cool that effectively it's an incredible feat.

Also I pointed it out yesterday but how odd does the Red Bull look without a front wing?

MalteseFalcon 03-02-2015 22:16

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 
Day 3 times:

1. Nasr, Sauber. 1:21.545, 109 laps
2. Raikkonen, Ferrari. 1:21.750, 94
3. Rosberg, Mercedes. 1:21.982, 151
4. Massa, Williams. 1:22.276, 71
5. Maldonado, Lotus. 1:22.713, 96
6. Sainz Jr., Toro Rosso. 1:23.187, 137
7. Ricciardo, Red Bull. 1:23.901, 49
8. Alonso, McLaren. 1:35.553, 32

So the woes of McLaren this testing session are still going on. Says something when a team who missed a whole day of testing can manage to do just over 3 times the amount of laps as a team who has done all 3 days.

COMBINED LAPS:

1. Mercedes, 399
2. Sauber, 271
3. Toro Rosso, 256
4. Ferrari, 242
5. Williams, 205
6. Lotus, 137
7. Red Bull, 84
8. McLaren, 44

---------- Post added at 21:16 ---------- Previous post was at 21:02 ----------

Rosberg setting early pace with 308 laps done. To beat him, Hamilton will need to do 218 laps to beat Rosberg. Rosberg has done the equivalent of 4 Monaco GP's, full length.

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 
Oh dear, can see there being plenty of moaning about this. From an interview with Christian Horner on F1.com

Quote:

Q: Whose brainchild was the camouflage livery?
CH: It actually came out of a helmet [design] that Sebastian (Vettel) ran last year in camouflage - it was quite fun and we thought it interesting to extend this concept to the entire car. [Red Bull boss] Dietrich (Mateschitz) liked it when he saw it - it’s pretty much Red Bull: we are not afraid to do things differently. It’s quite striking - and impossible to get details and photographs of the car at this time of the year when everybody tries to be as secretive as possible.

Q: Fans gave it great feedback: they love this livery and want it to stay for the season…
CH: Believe me: our real livery will not disappoint them once we have introduced it! Right now it is all about [rivals] not getting detail shots of the car: this livery confuses your eye line.

Q: When you make all these efforts to hide something, it must be really significant…
CH: Wait and see! My lips are sealed. That’s why the car is in camouflage.

MalteseFalcon 04-02-2015 12:42

Force India say car at second test is unlikely.

Quote:

Force India have confirmed that it is unlikely their 2015 Formula One car will be ready in time for the second pre-season test in Spain on February 19-22.

"Although everybody is working towards getting the VJM08 to the next test session in Barcelona, it's more likely the new car will appear at the final Barcelona test," the team said in a statement. "So, that would mean running the 2014 car at the first Barcelona test."

Force India announced last month that they would not run the new car in this week's opening Jerez test, but had planned to run their 2014 machine instead until making a late call to skip the session entirely because 'learning opportunities would have been limited'.

They're in trouble, Force India. They've been refused credit by suppliers and are having to pay cod.

MalteseFalcon 04-02-2015 18:07

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 
That is a shame. Apparently, there have to be a certain number of drivers on each grid at race day. 18 I think is the figure for this year. With only 8 teams testing that makes 16 drivers.

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 
I don't think it'll stop them starting the season, but it's bound to be a story that will rumble on. Besides which, it's now looking more and more likely that Manor (formerly Marussia) are going to make it, using last year's car.

SnoopZ 06-02-2015 13:24

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 
Marussia have been blocked from using their 2014 car by other teams, so it is very unlikely they will make the grid.

MalteseFalcon 06-02-2015 14:20

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 
Don't see why, surely using their 2014 car would give the other teams an advantage?

andy_m 06-02-2015 14:56

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 
Despite the fact they've agreed Caterham can? Disgusting. Presumably so they can get a slice of the prize money Bianchi won them.

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 
I cannot believe that Force India are that desperate for the £4 million that they woudl get if Manor don't race at all. I always support the underdog anyway, so Manor will be added to that list.

andy_m 07-02-2015 06:22

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 
My understanding is that Force India got to vote first. Because the vote had to be unanimous, once Force India had voted no there was no longer any point in the other teams voting, although the likelihood is that others would have voted the same way. I think it's a bit misleading to suggest Force India vetoed the plan, they were just the first to say no meaning the others didn't have to, and they were probably going to.

I've read reports this morning that Manor are going to try and put a 2015 car together in time for China.

Latest news ahead of the Second series of Testing.

New drivers to make debut in Barcelona.

Quote:

Jolyon Palmer will make his first appearance for Lotus during this week's pre-season test in Spain.

The reigning GP2 champion joined the team as their third driver earlier this year, with the deal including a 'significant number' of Friday practice sessions over the course of the season.

Palmer's first taste of the Mercedes-powered E23 will come this week however, with the Briton set to drive on the second day in Barcelona.

Lotus's 2015 regulars Pastor Maldonado and Romain Grosjean will be behind the wheel on the other three days, with Maldonado on duty on the first and third days and Grosjean completing the work on Sunday, the fourth and final day.

Alongside Palmer, Susie Wolff will drive on the first day of the test for Williams as part of her expanded official test driver role.
Mercedes reserve driver to test for Force India.

Quote:

Mercedes' reserve driver Pascal Wehrlein will drive for Force India on two days of the forthcoming four-day pre-season test at Barcelona.

The deal is part of an increased association between Wehrlein and Force India, with the 20-year-old also slated to drive for the team in both of this year's in-season tests.

"I am very happy that Sahara Force India has offered me the opportunity to drive their car for two days at the official test in Barcelona and that Mercedes-Benz has supported me to make this happen," Wehrlein said.

"As a young driver, any time you can spend in the car is extremely important and you can learn a lot. I know the simulator already, but I don´t have much experience on the track.

"My first goal in Spain will be to do a great job together with the team, to learn as much as possible and to give good feedback to the engineers."

Force India will be using their 2014 car at the four-day Spanish session after experiencing delays with their new machine, the VJM08. Wehrlein, who made his Formula One test debut with Mercedes at the end of 2014, will drive the VJM07 on Thursday and Saturday, while the team's regular drivers, Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg, will be behind the wheel on Friday and Sunday respectively.

"I have already driven the world champion Mercedes-Benz F1 W05 Hybrid," said Wehrlein, "and the comparison with Sahara Force India will be very exciting for me: the way the team works, how they improve the car and handle problems - all this will help me to gain experience and to reach the next level in my development.

"Everybody knows that lap times only play a secondary role when you're testing. But, of course, I want to be as competitive as possible. Sahara Force India delivered a very strong performance in the last season and I hope I will be able to make a small contribution to push the team forward and be ready for the opening race in Melbourne."

Vijay Mallya, Force India's team principal and managing director, commented: “I’m pleased to give Pascal a chance to work with us in Barcelona. He’s an exciting young talent who has already proved he has what it takes to be successful at the highest level in motorsport.

"As a reserve driver for Mercedes-Benz, he’s clearly destined for a career in Formula One and I’m sure the test will be a positive experience on both sides. Being able to call upon Pascal for testing duties is also a clear demonstration of our strong working relationship with our engine partner, Mercedes-Benz, and I thank them for their collaboration.”

Toto Wolff, head of Mercedes-Benz Motorsport, added: "This is a great opportunity for Pascal to develop his Formula One knowledge with our friends at Force India and shows the good working relationship within the Mercedes-Benz family.

"Pascal impressed us with his approach to the Abu Dhabi test last year and I am sure his feedback will be useful to Force India also. It is also a valuable opportunity for him to work with another team and gain more experience.

"This is an important year for Pascal with his primary programme in the DTM, and also these tests to build his F1 experience. We will be following his progress on both sides with great interest."
Will also be interesting to see if anyone can beat Ferrari for times or Mercedes for laps set around Barcelona.

Williams: Wolff, Massa, Bottas, Massa or Bottas
Ferrari: Raikkonen, Raikkonen, Vettel, Vettel

Force India: Wehrlein, Perez, Wehrlein, Hulkenberg
Toro Rosso: Verstappen, Sainz Jr., Verstappen, Sainz Jr.
Lotus: Maldonado, Palmer, Maldonado, Grosjean
Sauber: Nasr, Ericsson, Ericsson, Nasr

Manor & Caterham both not participating this test. Will post the times and laps later.

---------- Post added at 11:12 ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 ----------

Hamilton pulls out of day's testing due to illness, meaning Mercedes called up their reserve driver Wehrlein, who was driving for Force India today. He'd done 20 laps, quickest time being 1:28.329, already for Force India before Mercedes called him back. Force India now looking for someone to drive for the rest of today in their car.

Force India announce on Twitter that Perez will drive for them this afternoon.

MalteseFalcon 19-02-2015 16:09

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 
Rosberg also a doubt for testing, he has an inflamed nerve in the neck, so a doubt for taking part at all. So unless this reserve does all 4 days, Mercedes might not do all 4 days.

McLaren out of Day 1 after power unit failed on Button's car.

MalteseFalcon 19-02-2015 20:30

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 
Day 1 times and laps:

1. Maldonado, Lotus. 1:25.11, 69 laps
2. Raikkonen, Ferrari. 1:25.167, 74
3. Ricciardo, Red Bull. 1:25.547, 59
4. Perez, Force India. 1:26.636, 34
5. Nasr, Sauber. 1:27.307, 79
6. Verstappen, Toro Rosso. 1:27.900, 94
7. Button, McLaren. 1:28.128, 21
8. Wehrlein, Force India. 1:28.329, 32
9. Wehrlein, Mercedes. 1:28.489, 48
10. Wolff, Williams. 1:28.906, 86
11. Hamilton, Mercedes. 1:30.429, 11

Mixed bag really. McLaren look like they were doing much better this time around before the power unit failed. Hopefully they can continue improving. And I think the reason for the other teams voting against Force India using their 2014 car is because they were actually doing quite well in testing today.

SnoopZ 19-02-2015 20:35

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 
It was Force India voting against Manor using their 2014 car in 2015, not the other teams stopping Force India wanting to use a 2014 car.

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 
The Wehrlein thing was amusing, driving for Force India in the morning then getting pulled by Merc and placed in the best car on the grid, whilst Perez had to be called to the track to replace him. Just goes to show how, because of the money situation in f1, the smaller teams have to dance to the bigger teams tune, and not even the bona fide race drivers are immune.

On the subject of Manor, apparently looking increasingly likely that they'll be back at some stage http://uk.mobile.reuters.com/article...50219?irpc=932

YET again McLaren do the least amount of laps today. Even a car running last year's technology managed to do more.

1. Ricciardo, Red Bull. 1:24.574, 143 laps
2. Raikkonen, Ferrari. 1:24.584, 90

7. Alonso, McLaren. 1:25.961. 59
8. Palmer, Lotus. 1:26.280, 77
9. Ericsson, Sauber. 1:27.334

Gets worse again for McLaren. Button came to a stop on the track, and they had to red flag the session. Now looking unlikely that McLaren will be back on track for the rest of the day. Bloody ridiculous. Cannot believe that they are former winners of the F1 title.

McLaren worried now. Alonso AND Button will both be driving today. If they can't get 100 laps between them today then I'm afraid they might as well just start on designing the 2016 car as they will do crap this season.

Catalunya circuit Twitter feed saying Alonso crashed on Turn 4 and had to have an ambulance called on track. He's OK and conscious though apparently, which is excellent news. Even the likes of Hamilton I wouldn't wish that on.

Some bizarre rumours in Spain that Alonso received an electric shock from his car and went unconscious before the crash.

Very very unconfirmed rumours, I stress.

Something not right. Alonso having further tests before being released from hospital is the headline yet the story says he is in intensive care with concussion. Very worrying, I hope this is just a case of them being very cautious after the Bianchi accident last season.

If it did say that it's been updated now. McLaren have said it's overnighter for obs, nothing more.

Merc looking ominous. They've obviously ironed out their reliability issues from last season, and Rosberg's time was posted on medium tyres - Grosjean was on super sorts for just a 3 tenths advantage!

andy_m 24-02-2015 17:40

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 
I'm just trying to make some sense of what the testing so far means for the coming season. Obviously Ferrari look a lot better, and so do Lotus. Red Bull look iffy. McLaren have had an appalling pre-season so far BUT if their times have been with a faulty or even non-existent ERS then they have a potentially very quick car on their hands.

So, the way I see it is this: last year the only team to win races other than Merc were RBR, but these generally came when Merc had reliability issues. The only team that really came close to beating a healthy Merc were Williams. Testing suggests that Merc will be much more reliable this year than last, and that they have found some pace, and are comparable with the Lotus and Ferrari and Red Bull even on prime tyres relative to those teams.

In other words you still can't see past Merc one-two's for most of the season - if anything I think they'll be even more dominant. But the rest of the field will be very competetive. With reliability sorted I think the coming season will be a pretty dull drive to the titles for Hamilton (sorry, Mark) and Merc, but second place in the constructor's championship could conceivably go to Red Bull, Williams, Ferrari or even McLaren if they sort themselves out quickly.

McLaren are this year where everybody else was last year. I'm not worried about them, I think that's a really good car once they sort out all the teething problems, but that might take a little while.

Meanwhile Williams looking good today, which makes me happy!

Button managed a couple of 12/13 lap stints amongst all that as well. There's definitely a good car in there - I've been saying that all along. I'm looking forward to seeing it in the second part of the season.

Also, despite myself as a Williams fan (and yes, I realise I'm alone in this), I can't help but think the McLaren is the best looking car on the grid.

Rumour is McLaren might parachute Stoffel Vandoorne or KMag into Manor alongside the already confirmed Will Stevens in lieu of money owed to them.

Caterham now doesn't appear on the entry list.

Just need to be patient with them. It's a huge change, and they've arguably made it a season too late. They won't win anything this year - they themselves don't expect to even be competetive until the championship is.back in Europe http://www.theguardian.com/sport/201...en-off-pace-f1 - but the car looks incredible - so tightly packed - and it's not as if Honda don't know how to make engines. This will come good for them I'm completely convinced of it.

Worth pointing out that Bottas was on super soft tyres, but still 3 tenths down on Rosberg's fastest lap the other day, which he set on softs. Pirelli reckon the super softs are 8 or 9 tenths quicker than the softs so presumably Merc have still got 1.1 or 1.2 seconds a lap on Williams, which appears to be the next best car. Obviously we don't know fuel loads, what stage of the testing programme either team were at etc and nor have I taken into account the fact that the track was warmer when Rosberg st his time, but either way, they still appear streets ahead.

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 
The slimmest lineup ever, 10 teams, 20 drivers, and with Manor as the single back marker team, there will be no battle at the back.

F1 is dying, and there seems little that can be done to halt the decline that began with the loss of big-money tobacco sponsorship, and now alcohol sponsorship is in the firing line.

It's an expensive sport, and needs sponsors with deep pockets, the era of the gentleman racer giving way to the era of the "flying fag packet", and now the slimmer pickings of the car companies racing for prestige, drinks companies, fuel & oil companies

Re: Formula 1 2015 Season thread
 
Manor have tweeted a photo of the lorry leaving the factory carrying their freight to Melbourne - looks like they've done it!

As far as the grid goes for varying reasons we've had smaller - it'll still be bigger than the last three races of last season, it's significantly bigger than USA '05 because of the Michelin safety recall, and also bigger than Monaco '05 because of BAR's ban, and next year Haas Formula will also come on board. Audi are rumoured to be interested - and I've no doubt there will be some knock on benefit from the decision not to include DTM in the super licence process.

I'm not so naive as to think the sport is in rude health, but it's far from dying.

Jean Todt - “I am not happy for Marussia and Caterham and I sympathize for them, but it has always happened."

“But in 2016 we have a new team coming,” he added, referring to the arrival of the Gene Haas team from the United States. “And we may make a tender again for one or two teams to encourage teams. And try to reduce the costs.”

Roberto Mehri is Manor's second driver, at least for the start of the season, and a verdict in the Guido Van Der Garde v. Sauber is expected on Wednesday.

Mehri took part in practice for Caterham in the Italian grand prix when they ran in to difficulty and started punting out space in Kobayashi's car so it's fair to assume he brings some reasonable funding with him, but he does have a reasonable record in the lower formulae.

I had wondered if Van Der Garde was relying on compensation from Sauber to pay for the second Manor drive.

It is Sauber's fault if he hasn't had testing experience, if they knew that him winning his case was at all likely, however slim the chances, he should have been included in the team as a reserve and drove at least one session during testing.

It's also not a valid argument - there are plenty of drivers who've stepped into a car at short notice without any seat fitting - besides which he WAS there reserve last year so they must have some seat mouldings to work from and it's not as if there's been a huge change in the cars either.

- Constructors championship, potentially losing points via having a forced driver in the second car.

He's got every incentive to perform?

They're not "being forced" to have a driver, they signed the driver up and then reneged on the deal because they saw bigger sponsorship available.

Apparently the nature of the contracts with Nasr and Erickson are that neither will be breached if they're benched.

Shame for KMag, I like him and he really only has this chance to impress, but he got himself got caught out.

Balls. Great start already to the season, hopefully he has some engine trouble and needs to retire tomorrow.

Don't think it's been dropped so much as they're talking - it will be interesting to see what happens next. Van Der Garde is due to have serious backing next year but he'll need a drive this year to qualify for a super licence because the rules are due to change, so I can't see him giving up on it easily.

Bottas is a doubt for the race with a back injury.

Good qualy session - I enjoyed it. As much as I applaud the effort Manor have made to get to Melbourne it was nice watching a session that was competitive throughout the field, obviously with the game exception of McLaren.

Now, do I set my alarm, or my TiVo?

The alarm then. Bottas, KMag and Kvyat don't start for various reasons - 15 cars on the grid, and Lotus lose both of theirs on the first lap!

There might be points in this for Jenson Button after all!

Well this is a pleasing start to the morning for many apart from Mr Grumps.:)

That was a stroll. Was really hoping somebody would drop out and earn Jenson a point - he deserved something from that.

Weren't the Sauber's good?! Always liked Nasr.

Good, let them and Mercedes leave the sport and go race on their own.
