He says #4 was his choice but as Chilton has chosen that, he's gone with #10.

Van der Garde says he could have stayed with Caterham

The new Caterham logo reminds me of the BP flower

I really doubt being a reserve driver with little to no action is better than driving for whatever F1 team. By racing you can at least show your potential. I recon most teambosses know what each team should be somewhat able of so even in a Caterham or Marrussia you should be able to impress them if you have the quality.

To me, a whole season of being on par or even better than Kobayashi is more impressive than 1 good showing in friday practice.

Fernandes tweeted this - check out the GP2 livery, F1 will be similar

Ted Kravitz on Sky talking to Mark Smith (Caterham's Technical Director):

"Tell us about the front of your car, Does it look like a Gentleman's Appendage" :lol:

Confirmed: no title sponsor for McLaren at the launch

Thanks, just saw that James. That's pretty crazy. 2006 was understandable as the title sponsor left mid-season. But this is something else. No wonder change happened at the helm.

alex1369 · PostPosted: Wed Jan 22, 2014 8:22 am

Well if thats so, then it would be best if the use the old 2005 west livery but with drivers name on it until new sponsor comes..

Caterham going the HRT route and producing more logos than car updates?
