McLaren troubles http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula-one/25766407

Seems possible that Ross Brawn could head up the team for 2015.

How do you gather that from the tarpaulin?!

Unless they have something under wraps deliberately distorting the shape, it looks like the front wing arcs upwards, kind of like a bridge. Can vaguely see it under the sheet.

Bernie stepped down from the F1 board, still keeps day to day duties,

Also Bernie standing trial on bribery charges

What, you mean that leading crease on the front?

That's just the way it's sitting on the nose cams.

More interested in.the very narrow looking air intake and roll over hoop.
Look at where it is in comparison to the upper edges of the cockpit headrests. Also note how the sidepods seem to be almost non-existent further back.

Gene Haas is reported to be entering a team next year along with Stefan GP and a team made by former HRT, Force India and Jordan boss Colin Kolles

That ain't the headrests, that's the wing mirrors. I wouldn't make any speculation about the car just yet. It's got a tarpaulin over it.

even without tarpaulin they all have generic aero parts until 1st tests and or round!!!

Interesting news, IIRC Haas owns the windshear wind tunnel which Lotus F1 has used before. Ferrari will apparently supply engines, dont know where all this money will come from though!

Mercedes AMG Petronas cars under wraps with noses exposed
Keep in mind this could be fake, as I could not find the same picture on Mercedes facebook & twitter

Picture 2:

Di Resta is back in DTM! and could be the 3rd driver for Mercedes in F1.

Caterham has signed grand prix returnee Kamui Kobayashi and GP2 graduate Marcus Ericsson for the 2014 Formula 1 season.

Jordan, you should know just whose NASCAR car Haas is part owner of...

Danica to F1???

KK turned down an expanded Ferrari sports car deal to race for FREE for Caterham, dedication right there!

That would really be a kick in the balls. Wolff is way more capable than Danica. Danica is just for marketing.

To be honest I would have gone for the Ferrari deal it sounded really good, but he is 27 so still time to race GTs.

I think you underestimate how big an operation Haas Racing is. Steeped in history in CART and IndyCar.

Interesting fact!!!

Pastor Maldonado will be the first person in 38 years to drive the #13 car.

The last occasion was in 1976 when Divina Galica tried to qualify for the British Grand Prix in a Surtees entered by Nick Whiting, brother of the FIA’s Formula 1 Race Director Charlie Whiting. She failed to qualify.

I don't see how I'm underestimating anything here...

I'm not saying this as I'm a Danica fan, but I really don't see how Wolff is capable? Yeah she's driven an F1 car but she hasn't really done much..

And yes Mikey... I'd already thought of that opportunity   

I really don't think any of the current crop of female drivers are good enough. And there are a hell of a lot more male drivers who also aren't good enough. One will come along sooner or later though, just look at how Michelle Mouton performed in one of the WRCs most competitive eras. A good driver is a good driver.

Wolff isn't good enough either but I think she's way ahead of Danica. Like Nicky said, it isn't a matter of inequality or anything like that, a good driver is a good driver. Although it seems just being good isn't enough on it's own now

Sarah Moore was very good. Hope to see her racing in F1 or any top end championship.
