FIA confirms 1.6 V6 engine turbocharged for 2014

With how easy that is clarified together and then take the official note, we have spent a couple of weeks "in suspense" waiting for someone to confirm something. First Jean Todt said that you surely that you defer the arrival of the new engines, then the teams limited agree to delay the rules until 2014 and as always, the last to arrive but who really has the power to decide, the FIA now officially said yes, that in 2014 will see get the 1.6 engine V6 turbocharged. And co-exist with the current 2.4 V8.
Then, what we are witnessing is a new era of more efficient engines, while we'd love to, I don't think they have much to do with the resurgence of those Honda V6 Turbo in the 1980s with Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost dominated with more slack than it does today RedBull. Before proceeding with a few minutes of pure speculation, we ended up for giving whether this news.

The new base engine is a 1.6 V6 Turbo with energy recovery systems. This new formula will take effect from 2014 World Championship.

The new ERS (to the detriment of the KERS, which will disappear) they will be more powerful, recognizing today (before that there was no proof in power Bank) that benefits do not suffer in terms of horsepower, between the LRA and the turbo. That if the maximum rpm will be revised downwards, that no one thinks back to 20,000 rpm.
I said before that the speculation going to strip now, I'd love to see how Honda returned to the F1 engine turbo, simply by the fact that it would coincide with the characteristics of the other previous V6 Honda turbo and also unbeatable. Made to Honda as riders (not as well as racing team), but also made less than Formula 1 is dependent on more engines and less aerodynamic. With this paradigm shift the tide again, aerodynamics is important but not so much, and may I return to hear sharp, powerful, spectacular engines.
You may, in addition, ERS a real button of overtaking, not like now that it is not really much. When all use it does not influence too. I am curious to know how a new 2014 F1 is configured. I'd sacrifice of step by curve for other things, one of the hopes I have to say. It is very spectacular to see how pass through curves at full speed, but remember other things also spectacular. Anyway, just me space to speculate, now it's your turn to say what you would like it was in 2014.
Now a gift, which is where all the poor quality of the cover photo:

Canada F1 2011 GP: Fernando Alonso confirms the improvement and will second

 The Spanish began the weekend of the Grand Prize of Canada with very good foot, while in all free positions of privilege to practice. If we add the fact that Felipe Massa also demonstrated to be in shape to that detail, it was clear that the Ferrari 150 ° Italy is competitive at the Gilles Villeneuve.
In the end Fernando Alonso stayed to 185 thousandths of the time of Sebastian Vettel, although very close to Felipe Massa. Only 18 thousandths separated to the cars of the Italian team. With this result, the two-time world champion signs its best classification of what have been in 2011.

The Q1 and Q2 went smoothly for the Spanish. The times marked returned to be with the best and they confirmed the good feeling that he had transmitted in free practice. The Monaco, seemed that he could fight for the pole. The possibilities was minimal, but there were at least.
In the Q3, the turning point on Saturday, Sebastian Vettel returned to remove anything that has and which allows you to rank better than anyone. Alonso was closer than ever this 2011, but it was not enough to subdue the dictatorship that German exercises Yes, qualifying session qualifying session also.
Felipe Massa even to point was to give a small annoyance. Until the final lap of the Asturian, Brazilian exceeded you the times table. Alonso finally could overwhelm his teammate. By a sigh that Yes. Barely 18 thousandths separated the cronos of both.
The Spanish aims to every Sunday morning since that turns off the lights. Keys aliyah in three points: the way out, an aspect that Fernando Alonso has improved in the last races; tyres, which suffered a good punishment in the Canadian route, and at the time, which can cause that the rain will become a guest of exception.

FIA confirms engines 1.6 Turbo four-cylinder

In addition to the calendars of F1 and WRC yesterday for next season, the FIA issued any future plans for F1. No, as the subject of the engines, is already talking during recent months. However it was yesterday when the Federation confirmed that they will introduce the engines from 1.6 Turbo four-cylinder for the 2013 season.
This is something that is already secure, but it is rumored that even the introduction of this regulation can advance. The only requirement for to occur this fact is that all participants, both teams and constructors, the world of formula 1 are accordingly.

The engines will be four-cylinder, 1.6 liters with direct injection of gasoline high pressure up to 500 bar with a maximum of 12,000 rpm, with management and energy recovery systems.

There has also been on aerodynamic issues, in particular on the height of the hills and the intention to drastically reduce the consumption of fuel.

With modifications to improve efficiency aerodynamic, something that in conjunction with the measures of the motor units, it will allow the reduction in 35 by silt consumption. Also the height of the hills of the cars will be limited to improve security.

FIA confirms the area of activation of the DRS for the Grand Prize of Spain

The FIA has today confirmed the area of activation of the DRS for the Grand Prize of Spain to be held this weekend in Montmelo. In the analysis of the Circuit de Catalunya yesterday, not we could discuss it, because although the decision was obvious and already seen it coming, we still lacked the official confirmation from the Organization of the Championship.
To begin, the area of detection will be located just before the last curve, after the "new" chicane. In the area of activation itself, it will begin shortly after the start of the goal line, and will have 830 meters long. Becomes, therefore, the area of activation of the DRS in that far this season.
The Circuit de Catalunya has never been famous as a circuit where overtaking is easy, so this area of activation of the DRS so long expected that you can change this, for the weekend. In the light of apparently this year so far, probably exactly so, and surely the Pirelli also help.

The Circuit de Catalunya confirms the five days of training

There is no possibility for change. The Circuit de Catalunya has just confirmed that the test will take place in the five days ranging from 8 to 12 March. These tests at Montmelo will be substitutes for which they were scheduled in Bahrain, and which were cancelled due to the riots which occurred during the last few weeks.
The teams will be to track the four days they choose, each will begin 8 and others 9, and will be the last training before the start of the season of formula 1 in Melbourne. He is also expected that we can see for the first time on the track to the new seat of Hispania, the f, even without being confirmed its second pilot.
