The 2014 Ferrari's main problem is not even close to being the aero. It's the ridiculously weak and small power unit.

McLaren is actually trying to test two different cars.

MP4-29H/1x1 has a Merc style PU with compressor in front, while the 2x1 has the compressor in the back.
The 2x1 was apparently Hondas original design.

Red Bull, Marko: Our front wing was not flexing as much as others, we were just trying to catch up, they should have been punished too.
Williams, Smedley: Our front wing was 100% legal as determined by FIA tests. :smug:

We all know it wasn't the steering column that broke and the worlds best driver decided to drive headfirst into a wall instead of losing a WDC to that fraud Schumacher.

Yes, but we prefer hating Newey instead having to admit Senna's a god drat overrated fraud.

ron dennis is a man who specifically requested a size of tile for the MTC floors so they wouldn't have to cut any to fit and would have full-size tiles everywhere. imagine how he'd feel with the wal-mart logo on the front of that building.

did they honestly not have a specification in the engine rules that say they must be finalised before the first race of the year?

Thats brilliant.

They only put that in for 2014.

The question now becomes: After homologisation, will Honda be allowed to use the 2015 tokens to improve their engine?
