Default F1 2014 - Hamilton wins!!! Double world champion!!!

Double points sounds like an insane idea that's kinda unfair.

Yeah dont think i like the sound of that.. especially if it comes down to a tight championship. Driving for a whole season and then to lose it it in the final race due to someone getting double points will just cause so much ****.

Could be worse, US' top stock car and most popular auto series has a "Playoff"

I hate this idea unless there's a random draw to decide which round is the double point round. That would be interesting

*looks at the decor change drew has made*

They really should have just awarded 5 points per race for pole...

Double points in final race = stop Vettel.

By the way Di Resta has been droped by Force India and replaced by Sergio Perez.

I wish that was the case, only problem is that the last race of the year is going to be at a location that the Red Bull's have been utterly dominant at in recent years.

Never liked him in F1 but still very sad to hear.....

I reckon Jenson could call it quits after this year....his dad was the main driving force (excuse the pun) behind his career and I really dont see him fluking a championship now with Vettel, Alonso, Hmailton and Raikonnen around..

Formula One racing’s governing body, the FIA, has published the entry list for the 2014 FIA Formula One World Championship, revealing the race number each driver has chosen to use for the remainder of his F1 career under revised regulations for the new season.

The list also includes Max Chilton as Marussia's second driver, leaving Caterham as the only team to finalise their 2014 line-up.

Each driver was invited by the FIA to state his preferred race number, with the driver who finished higher in the 2013 standings being favoured if the same number was requested more than once.

Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel chose number 5, but as reigning world champion has taken up his option to run with number 1 this season. Meanwhile, number 13 - not normally used due to its association with poor luck - has been chosen by Lotus's Pastor Maldonado.

The FIA entry list in full:
1* Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull
3 Daniel Ricciardo, Red Bull
44 Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes
6 Nico Rosberg, Mercedes
14 Fernando Alonso, Ferrari
7 Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari
8 Romain Grosjean, Lotus
13 Pastor Maldonado, Lotus
22 Jenson Button, McLaren
20 Kevin Magnussen, McLaren
27 Nico Hulkenberg, Force India
11 Sergio Perez, Force India
99 Adrian Sutil, Sauber
21 Esteban Gutierrez, Sauber
25 Jean-Eric Vergne, Toro Rosso
26 Daniil Kvyat, Toro Rosso
19 Felipe Massa, Williams
77 Valtteri Bottas, Williams
17 Jules Bianchi, Marussia
TBA Max Chilton, Marussia
TBA, Caterham
TBA, Caterham

*For the duration of his F1 career, Vettel chose number 5
Interesting numbers, especially Vettel's #5.......

McLaren will unveil their 2014 Formula One car, the Mercedes-powered MP4-29, in a digital-only online launch on Friday January 24, four days ahead of the first pre-season test of the year in Spain.

Images, videos and information about the car will be revealed to the public and media on the Woking team’s official website at 1200 hours GMT.

The news, which effectively confirms McLaren’s presence at the opening test of the year, comes a day after Lotus announced that they would not attend the four-day Jerez session and will instead launch their 2014 challenger ahead of the second test of the year in Bahrain.

Meanwhile, Mercedes, the 2013 constructors’ championship runners-up, confirmed plans to roll out their new car on the opening morning of the Jerez test on January 28.
Quote:
Caterham have announced that they will unveil their Renault-powered 2014 car on the morning of January 28, the first day of pre-season testing, in Jerez.

As well as the four-day Spanish session, the team confirmed they will also attend the other two pre-season tests in Bahrain, the first of which runs from February 19-22 and the second from February 27 - March 2.

Caterham, who are yet to announce their 2014 driver line-up, are the third team after McLaren and Mercedes to officially confirm their attendance at the Jerez test with their new car.

Lotus revealed on Monday that they will not attend the Spanish session and will instead debut their new machine, the E22, at the first of the Bahrain tests.
Quote:
There has been plenty of media speculation as to which teams will or won’t be present at the first pre-season test of 2014 in Spain later this month after Lotus announced they will not be debuting their new car until the Bahrain sessions in February.

Williams are the latest to confirm they will be at Jerez on for the opening four-day test at Jerez on January 28-31, after announcing on Twitter that they are entering build week with their Mercedes-powered FW36 machine.

Below are the important dates for your diary in the weeks leading up to the new season...

2014 car launches / roll-outs

Team Date Venue
McLaren January 24 Online
Mercedes January 28 Jerez, Spain
Caterham January 28 Jerez, Spain
Williams January 28 Jerez, Spain


Pre-season testing

Venue Provisional dates
Jerez, Spain January 28-31
Sakhir, Bahrain February 19-22
