I have no doubt that when their car is running it will be quick, just dont see how they can get it relaible in time...

Would love to see a Williams on the podium.

Re: Formula 1 2014 Season
 

I wouldn't mind a Vettel championship so much if it was at least a contest. I cannot stand it when we get seasons where one driver and one team seem to dominate over the others.

Reading an interview with Monisha Kaltenborn of Sauber, it seems that tyres are going to be a problem again.

Hopefully this was just a case of it being the first run of the season, and the tyres will not become a big issue like it did last season.

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere.

Ross Brawn retires from Formula 1 ending speculation that he would move to Mclaren.

Teams opposed to double point races, personally i think whoever came up with this idea of double points needs to leave the sport!
