Admitedly, I don't follow F1 closely these days, yet I know all about Red Bull, Newey and Vettel, but it was only today, reading up on the 2014 engine switch, I realised they were powered by Renault. In sportscars, the manufactuers is first, and foremost. F1 can continue as is, but as a car fan, it has little relevance, if I follow a manufactuer, it will be in sportscars, rallying or touring cars. |

Im a pessimist, but I love looking through forums and people always find to see this as a bad thing: Audi pulling out, what happens if Peugeot pulls out, too many manufacturers in LMP1, LMP1 is too expensive, Honda will go to DP, evil aliens in tin spaceships destroying Circuit de La Sarthe, ect.

F1 is the soap opera of Motorsport. Nevertheless i enjoy F1. F1 is more about the drivers ego's and personalities and who has the best technical staff...
Adrian Newey is the King of aerodynamics. That is a thats why Red bull is in impecabble form. More interesting is the fact that Adrian Newey was at Mclaren and had the fastest car there but poor Kimi Raikkonen couldn't buy any reliability there. In a sense Along with Adrian newey comes reliability woes. |

Even if Audi does stay with Porsche in LMP1, somehow people will find something to be worried about.

I think with the Audi / Porsche debate, the one thing that could theoretically keep both there is the fact that more competition = more interest. If both were there then the perceived level of competition raises even if VAG has an even stronger chance of one of its brands triumphing.
I'd say interest in Le Mans in the media is higher with Peugeot vs Audi than in the years preceding it, 2002/3 being the possible exceptions because of the perceived triumph of Bentley over Audi. |

Last year he competed in a Ferrari at Le Mans... Also the Red Bull is a very reliable car this year. But yes, Newey likes to push the design to the limit, but i think he finally learned the lection. Quote:
But we are going of topic of this amazing news. |
