The grid gets tighter and tighter because the static nature of the rules means teams home in on the best solution and limits the gap. Be nice to see Ferrari with a better car actually. It should be ready close at the top and I think Jenson Button might flourish as team leader and get the car he wants

Jenson awl the way to be champ this year bt wudnt mind alonso takin the crown either

we will just have to wait and see i suppose, but PLEASE dont let it be the usual suspects, it's looking like its going to be a fascinating season, so come on force india, and sauber, not forgetting lotus, pressure the big guns!!!!

and if i have too, i will shove frank in that blood williams just to show maldonado how its done lol

blood.y even

we want kamui back!!!

Kobakrashi?

Hmm, lewis and nico both posting fastest lap times at catalunya final testing, with the ferraris not far behind, are those red bulls just sandbagging or is damon hill correct in his assumption that this new season could be the closest ever?, i hope so, would like to see ferrari and mercedes challenging consistently

Grosjean maturing hahaha

Honda to return to F1 for the 2015 season, as an engine supplier. Their primary partner to resurrect a legendary team name? Mclaren Honda. fantastic

i'mnot so sure about the mclaren honda package in 2015, remember what happened to mclaren when they had the peugeot package mind you it couldnt possibly get any worse that that combination

you comparing Honda engines with peugeot ones? Honda make fantastic engines. Peugeot do too, except they are all diesels I think if you wonder about Honda's ability to team with Mclaren I suggest you look at F1 prior to 1992....

The powertrains are all totally brand new for 2014. Nobody has a jump on anyone else really. By the time Honda left, the engines were frozen and their engine in F1 in 2008 would have been exactly the same as it was if it were used now in 2013, same as everyone elses. So they have lost nothing really in development time, they got a fresh start like every other engine maker

first practice, and the little kraut tops the time sheets, both ferrari's and mercedes showing good potential, mclaren somewhat lagging, but it's only practice. roll on saturday for qualifying.......

Lotus was exceptional on its tyres. The red bull might be the outright fastest but it is meaningless this year if the tyres get chewed up so much. Was amazing how Raikonnen had only pitted twice and was still faster on his older tyres than the Ferrari and the Red Bull. He probably contributed a lot to that as well with his driving but that's a big deal

well although it's way too early to be certain i gotta say kimi is looking a different class to the others in terms of skill, whether the lotus will hold up in different conditions is another matter.

was great to see kimi on the top step, amazing drive, but he's a wiley old pro. the ferrari's look menacing, lets see how the tyres handle malaysia, oh and mclaren? wakey wakey!!

That was an interesting race, was the highlight vettel overtaking webber? nah. it was hamilton pitting at mclaren
