With Honda returning, whats the likelyhood we'll see another engine manufacturer come in? I'd say 60%...

McLaren will at least be on the midfield. Honda didn't won right in the beggining seeing past experiences

but IMO they should get rid of the MGU-K and place the biggest turbocharger they can find

Well, word on the street is that Renault want to run their own team again as opposed to just being a major partner of just one (rather ungrateful) manufacturer who happens to own two teams.

I doubt we'll see the likes of BMW and Toyota return. So which engine manufacturer could we see?

3 years of GP3 and not a single point, this seems like a logical step...

Can you see the subliminal message?

BMW and Toyota showed interest if they returned to V8, but that wasn't approved so the remaining suppliers could be VW group

If Honda is successful it might trigger interest of Toyota. I'm not sure how it works in Japan and if it's like it used to be in the USA (win on sunday, sell on monday).

I doubt we'll see VAG any time soon. I wouldn't be shocked if Hyundai comes in first (late 90's, early '00s they where rumored to enter as well).

This time in 2014 there were people making bold predictions about single digit finishers in Australia and many cars being outside 107%. Neither happened. McLaren and Honda are in trouble for sure, but given what happened last year there's no guarantee the issues will continue on into the season.

I await to be proved wrong come Australia.

That's what I'm hoping now, but it might just be a torrid time for them before we head to Europe.

Seriously, how the fuck does someone who hasn't scored a point in GP3 get an F1 development drive?

Even Max Chilton is decent enough, she's not even kart quality.

"He is physically perfect. He got the symptoms [of concussion] at one stage, but nothing that shows [on a scan]."


Either there's something really fishy in this case or media is painting a picture that isn't even remotely close to the truth. And McLaren simply doesn't help the case either way and neither does Fernando, who's said nothing after the accident.

A double world champion crashes inside wall in slow speed (because of wind!) and spends three nights in intensive care and now is in danger to miss the season opener while being perfectly fine but also not being in shape to race. What the hell is going on?

The boss of energy firm Ovo Stephen Fitzpatrick is the guy who's trying to save Manor. The former boss of Sainsbury's Justin King will also be involved in the running of the team:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/31653066

Article also says that they have a modified 2014 car ready & that they just have to pass the crash test's. Given how it meets the 2015 regulations I don't believe they will need to the approval of other teams, So once they pass the crash test they should be ready to go to Melbourne.

Im surprising of Alonso s silence, nothing to the press media, nothing in twiter ( Alonso always have a lot of activiti in hes twiter) if like Ron Dennis said, Alonso is physically perfect, why dont say nothing to her fans or take a licture himself.
