Welcome all to another season of Formula 1 for 2014 - Happy New Year! With only 73 days for the Formula 1 season to kick off, I thought it a good idea to start posting any pre-season news as they trickle through. The 2014 Formula One season will be the 65th season of the Formula One World Championship, a motor racing championship for Formula One cars which is categorised by the sports governing body, the Federation Internationale de I'Automobile (FIA) as the highest class of competition for open-wheel racing cars. Eleven teams and Twenty-two drivers will contest the nineteen Grand Prix that will make up the calendar for the 2014 season, with the winning driver and team being crowned the World Drivers and World Constructors' Champions. The season is due to start in Australia on 16th March and end in Abu Dhabi on 23rd November. Already the last race is causing controversy with the FIA announcing a double points finish, which hasn't gone down well with both drivers and fans alike. The 2014 season will be the first season the series uses a 1.6 litre turbocharged V6 engine. Sebastian Vettel will start the season as the defending World Drivers' champion. His team, Red Bull racing will be the defending World Constructors' Champions, having secured their fourth consecutive title in 2013. Will this be another dominant season for Red Bull? I doubt it, considering the new engines, rules and ERS power units. Many thanks to all Formula One fans for reading this thread and contributing, I hope you are all excited for the 2014 season.
