Formula 1 pre-season testing for 2014. Done.

12 days to Practice 1 in Melbourne

[Slowhand]

Looks like Williams has something, hope it plays out like that in the season, especially with the presumably kickass Martini livery.

[momo]

Yea for sure. Would be cool to see felipe get some wins. Feel bad for that guy, missed out on his championship by a point then hasnt been the same his injury but has been a great team player.

I'm more interested to see if Bottas can carry his momentum and become a force to reckon with.

[Ruffdaddy]

[momo]
