2014 Formula 1 Season
Posted: Fri Mar 07, 2014 5:08 pm
We are just over a week away from the start of the 2014 Formula 1 season!
This season’s formula has the most dramatic change in the history of Formula 1.
To explain that in a fun and quick way watch the video below:
As for the cars a lot of the noses look like this thread should be in the adult swim section: http://motorsportsunplugged.com/f1/the-cars-of-2014-f1-pictures/
Finally, the first race of the season is again Melbourne, Australia at Albert Park. There will be 58 laps around the 5.303 km circuit and it is highly likely many of the competitors will not finish.

For the pinnacle of motorsport do you feel F1 cars should be using such small engines or do you think they should have stuck with the V8 engines or go way back and use those V10 or V12 engines?
This season’s formula has the most dramatic change in the history of Formula 1.
- Gone are the screaming V8 engines and in are super complicated turbocharged V6 engines.
- Gone are two exhaust ports and in is a single exhaust port out the back.
- Gone are full length front wings and in are shorter front wings to reduce the down force.
- Gone are the high front noses and in…well we are going to get to that in a bit.
