    One reporter says Merc claim the 2014 engines will have a "... wider power band, much more torque on corner exits, where will be more power than grip. Got to be a good thing."

    A lot of posts on Raikkonen here, he seems to be the flavor of the week...year. Makes sense though, he shows a different sort of personality than you see from other F1 drivers and he backs it up with great driving.

    Actually Kimi has evolved over time and now his no bull, dry comments are almost refreshing and comical...

    He is at his best in an F1 car after all!:D

    Actually, I'm going to be there mid May, for the Aussie supercar series, so I can't quite make it back again so soon, since I'm about 11-12 hour drive away.

    This looks like a fantastic event!

    Interesting, if true.

    Every dog has his day....:eek:


    Tis hard to find and possess that elusive chemistry that Brawn, Micheal and Ferrari had....it is like smoke in a bottle.

    There's interrelated (and, to me, somewhat confusing) speculation swirling around in that article. Similar articles are just as speculative IMHO. Given all the attention being paid to Wolff, I'd like to better understand his actual new role. That's a bit confusing to me since he's being called both the F1 Team's Executive Director and Motorsport Director for all of Mercedes. The former seems more likely since his move comes along with a 30% stake in the F1 team but some of his comments as quoted make it sound more like his role goes much further than F1. Maybe he gets both titles?

    Speaking of DTM tests, since Glock lost his Marussia seat he's available as well, so why not? Now that BMW has returned to DTM and it's more than just a 2-make series, interest seems to be growing.
