Bezzi Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I liked the cars. They said they would be ugly due to many regulation changes, but I found the transition between the 2008 and 2009 seasons had a bigger impact on the look of the cars.

F1's brave new world of turbo engines began with a bang and whimper at Jerez as the first day of 2014 winter testing fell flat with very limited running and Lewis Hamilton crashing out after a high-speed front-wing failure on his new Mercedes. Hamilton's shuddering exit into the barriers at Turn One after 18 laps was the lone incident of note on a day that saw the eerie sound of silence descend over the Jerez circuit and accounted for less than a 100 laps with only six drivers completing a timed run. ...

gotosy Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 French doctors work to bring Schumacher out of coma Michael Schumacher's sedation is being reduced to allow the "waking up process" to start, his manager says. Bringing the Formula 1 legend out of his coma could take a long time, Sabine Kehm said in a statement. Schumacher suffered a severe head injury in a skiing accident in the French Alps on 29 December. He was put into a medically induced coma by his doctors at a clinic in Grenoble after operations to remove blood clots from his brain. Doctors have kept the 45-year-old German asleep to help reduce the swelling. Ms Kehm was approached by the media for comment on Schumacher's condition on Wednesday - exactly a month after his crash. She said his condition remained "stable". In her statement on Thursday, she said it had been agreed to communicate details of his sedation "only once this process was consolidated". ...
