F1 New Car Models Launched !!!

As the start of the 2014 season nears, every F1 fan knows one thing and that's that the new season cars are ready to be tested. The last week has been frantic especially on the F1 social media spaces as many cars were unveiled online.

 Force India was one of the first to launch their cars on Twitter.

 The other teams also did their launches shortly after that. In case you weren't able to see the cars, here are the 2014 F1 cars which look radically different than they did last year, thanks to the new rules.

 The new rules are not just double points in the last race but also, a change in engines. The cars will not use the V8 engines that they did earlier but have V6 engines as part of the fuel saving exercise of the FIA.

 This now means, that Energy Recovery Systems (ERS) will become very important to performance and turbocharging will be allowed for the first time since 1988.

 Another change is the use of heat and kinetic energy in the Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) with more powerful units being used.

 This test at Jerez is very important as the new cars are made as per the rules and the designers insight into what will or will not work. Considering that, private testing has been banned and so the on track test here is very vital.

The cars look good and new, but how will they perform and which team has succeeded in cracking the rule book will be questions that will be answered only after the first few races. The F1 season of 2014 will start on March 16 in Australia .

NOW HAVE A LOOK AT THE CARS :
