Ferrari and Sauber had pulled the covers off today. The livery on the Sauber is not nice the older shade of Blue pre-BMW was much nicer.

Looks horrible the blue and yellow livery on the Sauber.

Toro Rosso set to reveal their livery tomorrow.

Can anyone see Ferrari getting a win this season possibly? I think they'll probably get at least one possibly providing they have a quick car.

Force India are now likely to miss the second test as well due to delays with suppliers or something. I really hope this isn't a sign of them becoming the next Marussia and end up folding, Force India are exactly the type of team F1 needs with its backmarker to nearly a frontrunner story that opts for talented drivers rather than pay drivers (I'm aware Perez does have sponsors but he definitely deserves his place on merit).

News of Marussia that they could be set to come out of administration and receive new investment and possibly make the grid providing they are allowed to run their 2014 cars which will have to be agreed by the F1 teams.


Kimi Raikkonen fastest on the last day of F1 testing in Jerez.

List of times:

1st Kimi Raikkonen (Fin) Ferrari 1:20.841
2nd Marcus Ericsson (Swe) Sauber-Ferrari 1:22.019
3rd Lewis Hamilton (GB) Mercedes 1:22.172
4th Max Verstappen (Ned) Toro Rosso-Renault 1:22.553
5th Felipe Massa (Brz) Williams-Mercedes 1:23.116
6th Romain Grosjean (Fra) Lotus-Mercedes 1:23.802
7th Daniil Kvyat (Rus) Red Bull-Renault 1:23.975
8th Jenson Button (GB) McLaren-Honda 1:27.660

So beyond pleased that Marussia look like they could make the grid. Bianchi's Monaco stormer that lead them to finish 9th has likely been the thing that's saved them as thats a whole wack of prize money.

The chances of Marussia returning to the grid this season has taken a severe blow as Force India have rejected their request to run last year's car. However Force India could reconsider providing Marussia's resubmitted application is done probably.

Although they could be allowed to re-appear in Bahrain as long as they build a 2015-spec car.


Caterham's chances of appearing on the grid are over their assets are to be sold in an online auction.

I know it looks bad but we can't blame Force India when the little money the do get from the FIA will end up being split even further, and there will be less screen time for the sponsors etc. It is a shame though for Marussia.

Marussia making it doesn't effect the pot that Force India get tho. Sauber are the one's that benefit from being bumped up to 9th from 10th.

I really hope that they make it. Proper phoenix story if they could

Force India have confirmed that their car won't be ready until the final test in Barcelona.

Manor could still make the grid providing they have a 2015-spec car ready for Bahrain.

So basically anyone outside of Mercedes doesn't have a prayer laugh.gif

I really hope this doesn't become a repeat of the Red Bull domination but with another team. Of course I would love Hamilton to romp home to another title but only after an enthralling battle all season. Have to give Rosberg credit last year for keeping it interesting & not letting Lewis run away with it (though the right man won ultimately). I just have a feeling Rosberg might not be able to take the fight to Lewis if he builds up an early advantage.

I really miss the 05-10 years when it was all up in the air & numerous drivers/teams had genuine chances of winning races each weekend.

Fernando Alonso is out of hospital but he will miss the next test in Barcelona which will mean that Kevin Magnussen will be sharing the test duties with Jenson Button.

Following him suffering from concession in a crash and being kept under observation in hospital for three days it makes you wonder if he'll be able to make the grid for Australia. We'll have to wait and see about that won't we?


Manor has named Britain's Will Stevens as their first driver for the upcoming season.

Nico Rosberg set the fastest time in today's testing.

Manor Marussia have being named in today's F1 2015 Entry List by the FIA providing they pass their crash test next week.

A fantastic effort from Force India to be completing that many laps already with their new car, looks like despite their delayed start they could end up ahead of McLaren in Australia who just can't seem to get any decent mileage from what I've seen. Could we see McLaren at the back of the pack at least at the start of the season (not counting a potential Manor entry of course)?

It would be definitely a potential embarassment for McLaren with two world champions at the back of the grid in Australia.

Fernando Alonso will be missing the season-opening Australian Grand Prix based on medical grounds which will mean that Kevin Magnussen will take his place for Australia. Fernando should be back for Malaysia.
