Conclusion of 2011 was kind of borring imo.. Telling Vettel he has to slow down because of gearbox issues was a team order call to let Webber have this last one. Well thats what alot of people are speculating.

Anyways..
Renault - Lotus will be name changing to just Lotus.. so no more Renault.
Team Lotus is changing their name to Caterham.

Robert Kubica will not be returning, Renault Lotus shows no interest to get him out there. Not sure if Petrov or Senna will get the other seat.

Biggest news is The Iceman is returning
Räikkönen returns to F1 with Lotus Renault - GPUpdate.net

Virgin Racing/Marussia is changing their name to just Marussia

Karlitos · 11-29-2011, 12:37 PM

Yeah i think they forgot to put oil in the trans on purpose. But it was still good to see Webber win, even if it was fake.

Lotus will still be Lotus Renault, I thought. Where Lotus is a sponsor and Renault the Constructor. Anyways its going to be the company that had the black gold car, the green "lotus" will become Caterham.

Unless LRGP does a lot of HW Raikkonen wont be too competitive. And I feel Petrov and Senna will be doing lots of competing for that second seat.

I think the biggest thing is who's going to have the leading edge with the new rules. Newey seems to loose 1 or 2 years once his breakthroughs aren't new or banned. We'll see how he copes with the blown diffuser ban and the new exhaust rules. There's also rumor that RBR will become their own engine manufacturer for the turbo comeback in 2 years, since their own trannies worked so well.

Id like to see one of the mid-teams be good and apply pressure, maybe Merc can pop up and make it Big 4 teams or even FIndia. It'd be cool to have the top10 spots not be predictable.

Also F1 Austin looks like no more in 2012 ]:

So until feb/march see you guys then the revealings of the cars.

*ManoNegra* · 11-29-2011, 12:51 PM

Raikonen news are interesting
think this may be the end for Senna since Petrov brings so much money to team

still no news on Barrichello?

Why does Masa still have a seat at Ferrari?

pacotaco345 · 11-29-2011, 02:03 PM

Whats the news with F1 austin?.. enlighten me...

simmode1 · 11-29-2011, 03:53 PM

^^^Yes. Please. Don't tell me they started on that expensive ass track for nothing...

*!Zar!* · 11-29-2011, 04:00 PM

Massa still has a seat with Ferrari.
There is still a good chance that Kubica will drive along side Raikkonen.

Charles Pic joins Marussia. So it will be interesting to see if he gets a seat or not.

Austin gp isn't happening. Just like The American F1 team, they started spouting all these big grand things, and when it really came down to it, there wasn't enough money to make it happen. 2013 New Jersey GP seems to be pretty promising. I believe the deadline for them is 11/30/11.

Massa is on the chop block with Ferrari. If he doesnt deliver this upcoming year, hes getting fired.

In Lotus, while they don't know who the number 2 driver is, they do have a reserve driver, and its a chick. Maria de Villota Renault to Hire Formula One

And looks like Barichello is out of a seat. Marussia or HRT or one of the back teams shouldve picked him up, get some mid field action atleast. But I think they rather have sponsors pay for drivers then them have to pay for a driver.

Austin still has a chance but its a very slim chance. I don't feel like the Jersey one will go through because there isn't a market like there was in Texas. We shall wait and see.

nujabe · 12-02-2011, 09:50 PM

*ManoNegra* · 12-08-2011, 08:56 AM

Good to hear about Austing

New changes to the regulations officially unveiled:

Formula 1

no real news though since most of these changes had been talked about for a while now

Karlitos · 12-16-2011, 10:49 PM

Sauber is the first one to confirm an official unveiling. Feb 6, a day before testing begins, so Im guessing teams will have revealed by then. Its getting closer!

fyneyoungstunna · 12-16-2011, 11:11 PM

just lettin my loyalties be known!!!

Karlitos · 01-12-2012, 10:01 PM

New Ferrari to be launched on 3 February

Ferrari, so far the earliest to announce an unveiling date.

Also, Lotus bending rules? Feels really close like active suspension. BBC Sport - Lotus steal march on rivals with technical innovation

I wonder what Innovation Newey will come up with!

Karlitos · 01-25-2012, 01:16 PM

Caterham engineers need some styling lessons?

Then again, many cars will wind up looking like this due to the new rules.

Taniguchi_Is_#1 · 01-25-2012, 04:07 PM

First analysis: Caterham CT-01 | Scarbsf1's Blog

all the cars this year are probably going to be pretty ugly.

duffman1278 · 01-25-2012, 08:41 PM

Austin ticekts almost avaliable ftw! Getting my tickets for monaco this week

Hopefully this year turns out great

Karlitos · 02-01-2012, 07:51 PM

Well austin tickets are technically available, if you buy the $1k package. That's awesome your going to monaco though. Best track to go to (not that ive ever been there)

McLaren did a good job (looks wise) on the new mp4-27. No platypus nose.

Only a week left to see how these cars will perform

HyperTek · 02-01-2012, 09:19 PM

you gotta have some money to go to monaco.. i think i read about how to plan a trip there, you stay outside of the area to save money and than just go there or something lol

duffman1278 · 02-01-2012, 09:49 PM

The Monte Carlo hotels already sold out (didn't plan to stay there anyways) but yea I'll be coming in from Switzerland the day before the race and I'm heading out from the city after its all done. I wouldn't doubt if it cost a grip just do anything in that city during the race weekend.

*slider2828* · 02-02-2012, 12:43 AM

It would be great if someone will post when the Austin tickets go up....

Karlitos · 02-02-2012, 01:03 AM

Circuit Of The Americas
