  • The story of dirty Noses – F1 Cars

    The story of dirty Noses – F1 Cars

    Last year, around the same time everyone was complaining about stepped noses cones of the F1 cars. This year, pretty much the same story, only a bit dirty. If you look at the three cars in the feature image, two of them have ‘anteater’ type noses, while Lotus F1 Team came up with a ‘fork-lift’ type nose never seen before in F1.

    In my previous post, I wrote about Force India’s new livery, however FI only had released the picture of the car from one side and left everyone guessing how their nose has been. Though Andrew Green let it out in an interview that it looks more like an ‘anteater’. There you go, most of the cars (barring Lotus I guess) will have similar noses in 2014.

    As the weekend starts, we will see more car launches and more disappointed fans with their favorite F1 car’s nose cone, often considered as the face of the car. Many are of the opinion that we all will get used to it. But with the amount of jokes people are making, I think it would be rather too difficult.

  • Go Go Go Force India! Fisi puts Force India F1 on Pole

    Go Go Go Force India! Fisi puts Force India F1 on Pole

    Go Go Go Force India!

    That is what happened to all the Indian News Channels. And without any doubt, this one was the best news that came to all the Fans of Formula1 in India.

    A day when there were no clear favorites for the Pole position in this weekend’s Belgium Grand Prix, Fisichella breaking the barrier for Force India F1 came as surprise to many. But Formula1 is always a game that throws in surprises.

    The team that always used to be the back – benchers last season showed some promise at this year’s season so far. However, this is the biggest boost for Force India (using the Mercedes Engine) till date. Fisi stormed in to P1 after Qualifying in top six for Q3 and Q2. The Toyota of Jarno Trulli, again an Italian, was also performing brilliant as compared to its recent races and the 3rd on the Pole was the BMW of Nick Heidfeld.

    But the news is Giancarlo Fisichella has now scored a Pole with Force India, with scoring 3 others with others.

    Best of Luck!
