Formula 1 - 2013 Season

[Phil]

Yes. Depending on how you count 4 or 5 (talking about the time done on medium compound).

Here's the list which I assume to be quite accurate: http://f1tests.info/2013.php

Formula 1 - Ferrari plans aggressive start to 2013
Ferrari is planning a major development push with its F138 for the early stages of the season

Ferrari is encouraged, however, by indications that point towards a much better correlation between its CFD and windtunnel work, and what is being delivered on track.
"Last year we made some fundamental mistakes which we have learned from," he said.
"I think this test for us has been good; what we have developed in CFD and the wind tunnel, it is delivering on the track.

Oh, and something a bit offtopic but interesting:

Lamborghini Veneno makes full appearance before Geneva debut

Edit 2:
Oh, and the new LaFerrari

Pretty sweet, F1 needs more of this. The Enstone team has always been different and it is good; a perfect match for Kimi.

At least finnish long-term (soon 30 years doing this) F1 reporter Heikki Kulta thinks that despite Chavez's death, at least this season has already been paid for by Venezuela/PDSVA

Yeah, that sounds likely. However, as Joe says, the future has now become less certain.

Red Bull's VIP trip: budget airline, hotel in the wrong country, and you're not a VIP
The 4-star spa hotel did not have a spa and the winner had to share a bed with his brother

No: always print the small print and don't lie in ads.

I can't believe Red Bull actually tried to fight that case. They should have just admitted that they (probably) got some third party to organise the "VIP" package and they fucked up.

What is wrong with leaving the main event early due to your flight and sharing a double bed with your bro? Kids these days don't even know they are born..

A fine article about Lewis Hamilton and his road ahead:

The move, whatever its genesis, is just what Hamilton needed. At McLaren he could never escape the empowering myth of Dennis, the idea that he progressed so far only because of the leg-up offered 14 years ago. Hamilton could never quite be his own man. He was always the project of Dennis, which rather ignored the talent, effort, commitment and sacrifice required to gain the attention of the big man in the first place.
