    Interesting sound. I bet it's not the final sound either.

    I agree. Among other things, that was probably not even close to the exhaust it will use.

    I like it already, expect it to be better in final form.

    Newey jumps on the "raise the weight limit" bandwagon. Good for him, I say. :Thumbsup:

    So, New Jersey does not make the final cut again. I remember reading that the race organizers said the money was confirmed and in place.

    Guess Bernie didn't think so....?

    He's been wanting a race in New York for decades. Maybe the better race for the life style New Yorkers would be Formula E.

    Me thinks Mario is spot on.

    From motorsports:


    Dec.9 (GMM) Fernando Alonso's frustration in 2013 triggered Ferrari's push for Kimi Raikkonen.

    That is the view of the Italian team's former driver Mario Andretti.

    "In my opinion, Alonso became frustrated this season, and what he said offended Ferrari," the 1978 world champion told the Spanish sports newspaper Marca.

    Andretti is referring to the arguably disparaging comments made by the Spanish driver, after which Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo revealed he "tweaked" Alonso's ear.

    "Otherwise," Andretti added, "they never would have hired someone who could challenge him and even beat him."

    After four years alongside the often under-performing Felipe Massa, Alonso's new teammate for 2014 is the former team champion Kimi Raikkonen.

    "You have to know how to behave," Andretti, still referring to Alonso's attitude of 2013, continued.

    "He always had a proper behaviour, but that 1 per cent ... we saw what was Montezemolo's reaction.

    "It will be interesting to see what happens next," he added, "because Kimi is not arriving to help; he is going to try to win.

    "It will be a great battle that will be fun to watch."

    Is this silly or is there a better descriptor...or maybe I'm just not seeing the value. Seems to me if someone runs away with the championship, so be it, stop meddling and trying to replace the racing with the show. Maybe add points for pole times and/or fast race laps.

    Yeah, well, unlike Bernie's usual brainfarts that only see the light of day via media, this gem is already approved and on the books for 2014 and onward.
