If it didn't have that awful nose, woah baby.
The F1 Thread 2014 Season

Needs more red, otherwise it just looks like the Mercedes.
A thing that struck me about this year's cars, where have all the sponsors gone? I distinctly remember F1 cars barely having an inch without a sponsor a few years ago, but even McLaren's livery looks barren. The Williams car looks brilliant though I have to say.
What are the odds on Red Bull's engines blowing up? The shitty engines could basically ruin their whole season if a few go due to the engine number limit, as they won't even be able to push properly after sorting out the car.
I am even shocked there is a ruling about no cars finishing, it will never happen.

The only way the Redbulls will survive a dry race is if they keep their revs low throughout. It could yet rain though...
Rain is forecast for the Sunday, but we all know how that can change.
I expect to see quite a few DNF's on Sunday.
Nice to see Hamilton's luck has changed for the new season. 
That wasn't in the script. 
What's going on here then?
Hamilton did half a lap and broke down in the first 5 minutes, the first of anyone this season.
Cars sound good IMO. Different, but good.
Pretty sure it's the first time I've heard an F1 car tyre squeal when locking! Definitely a lot quieter.
After all the problems in pre season Sebastian Vettel goes second quickest, six tenths off the pace, so much for all the Red Bull bullshit that they are not competitive.
Hamilton comes out and goes fastest in P2.
Their problems have been with reliability, not pace. We'll see if they can finish the race.
Yes we shall see, they both looked pretty good in FP, both Merc's looked really good, missing FP1 did Hamilton harm came out and looked fast.
40+ laps for Vettel in FP2 must be great news for them. I think they have decently quick car but reliability has been a problem.
Hate the look of the cars on track and hate the sound of the cars on track. Aside from that, should be a great season. Looking forward to it.
All four of my drivers in the top ten in this practise session. Hopefully they can continue that into qualifying and ultimately the race. Can you view each others drivers once the race starts or even when it finishes?
I have changed mine so many time.I've already forgotten who I picked
What time does Quali start tomorrow morning?
Q1 starts at 6am , just has I get into work.
I think it starts at around 06:00 (GMT), not 100% on that.
Edit: Looks like it is 6 am.

You're in work at 6am on a Saturday? Jesus man, unlucky.
I'll watch it on the laptop in bed.
Sorry.
Oh and thanks for confirming the time, by the way.
Could we have some sort of list that says who is who? Ain't a clue who half of the people are that who have entered going from the names on fantasy racers.
I work most weekends, the joys of shift work, I will still be able to watch it, getting paid to watch bonus.
I always thought getting paid to poo was good, but getting paid to watch F1 wins - kudos.
Does the race on Sunday start at 6AM too? I'm going to be knackered after this weekend if that's the case!
Think qualifying and race times are always the same.
My team name is Neeeeeow, have Hamilton/Alonso/Hulk/Bianchi. I think i have the package which i can change drivers though.
Not always, at some weekends the race can start an hour earlier I believe.
I think I've went, Alonso, Hamilton, Hulk, Massa, no changes.
Just looked and I've chosen Kimi, Button, Sutil and Massa.
Do you want to add you names to this and possibly stick it in the OP?

Grosjean, Button, Massa and Hamilton in mine.
Buzzing Hornets is me. I went for the changeable driver option. Only three drivers for the first race, not sure if that's a good idea or not
I just joined up. Team Swag.
Went for Hamilton, Button, Grosjean and Massa.

Alonso, Massa, Rosberg and Hulkenberg for me. Rory Racing is my team name, very original.
Hamiltons Hairpiece is me, I've gone with Hamilton, Rosberg, Button and Hulkenburg. I mean I'd choose Vettel but he's super expensive and I want him to fail anyway, so I've gone for all Merc power.
Red Bull already being talked about as the best chassis with the most downforce, if they get the engine going full bolt reliably I'll be tuning out around Silverstone time I reckon.
