In other news FOTA has been disbanded. The double points will only be awarded to the last year, Bernie tried to extend this rule to 3 races but F1 Strategy Group  vetoed that plan. Marusia managed full race distance today and they are looking much better then their rivals Caterham.

I'm actually taking quite the interest to see how the Caterham F1 team will perform this year, especially after not winning even a point last year. I'm thinking that perhaps the new regulations may give them a fighting chance, provided that they take a solid look at their options.

They are struggling, as their CEO said this might be their last year if they don't show any progress. Marusia is miles ahead of them. A tweet from Peter Windsor might describe how their test is going so far https://twitter.com/PeterDWindsor/status/439745572241555457

Sergio Perez FTW!!

He might have a chance of getting on podium, that Force India is looking good, however testing has never been indicative of the real race potential, and we have all seen some cars that looked good in testing become real dogs in the season. But I have a soft spot for Checo and I hope he does well.
