Pushing The Limits

Following a meeting of the Strategy group in May , the FIA has decided some major rule changes in the 2017 Formula One season aimed at increasing the sport's "wow" factor. The plan so far is to increase the speed of F1 machinery by 5-6 seconds per lap , for them to look more aggressive with bigger rear tyres and wider front and rear wings and allow for louder ,higher-revving engines. Refueling was another thought that the strategy group had but was later scrapped. The current V6 turbo technology will remain in play for 2017 also. At the present the teams are still waiting for full details . The rules should be set in place by March of next year at the latest. Recently the accident of Justin Wilson has renewed the debate of introducing closed cockpits in F1 cars. First mooted in 2009 after Felipe Massa was struck on the head by a spring that broke off from the car in-front. F1 teams and fans have been resistant towards the introduction of closed cockpits becaus

The wait is over F1 fans , It's that time of the year again. F1 returns from its summer break for a race in the legendary circuit de Spa Francorchamps in Belgium .  Lap record held by our very own Sebastian Vettel.  Speaking of Sebastian Vettel who singed off the first half of the season with 2 wins , is known for his aggressive comebacks in the second half. This race will be his 150th race and will be Scuderia Ferrari's 900th race!.   The king of Spa ,Kimi raikkonen's contract with Ferrari has been extended to 2016 . Raikkonen like I said before is know as the king of spa for a reason. Having won 4 times here , he is almost unstoppable in this circuit and silver arrows better keep an eye out for the iceman.    Ferrari are coming into this race weekend with great amount of positivity after having a phenomenal first half of the season.  After Vettel's and Ferrari's dominant victory and pace in Hungary  the silver arrows better watch out for the men in red.
