F1: Marussia resigns Chilton for 2014

F1: Marussia resigns Chilton for 2014

Marussia resigns Max Chilton for 2014! The Russian-owned but British-based team made the announcement on Saturday, and he will drive alongside Frenchman Jules Bianchi this year. The 22 year old Briton first drove in Australia last year, and his best result is 14th at Monaco. He is also the only rookie in the history of the sport to finish all races in a season. Graeme Lowdon said that the team’s decision to retain Chilton is to ensure a stable driver lineup in a time of drastic changes in regulation. He also believes that Chilton gets better with more practice, evident in his Max’s history as he starts out mediocre, before gaining experience and becoming a force. The announcement means that those dropped from F1 at the end of 2013 will have less chances to obtain a drive, for only 2 seats remain. With drivers such as Paul Di Resta without a seat in 2014, will we see them back in F1 in the near future, or will they find refuge in other categories? Only time will tell.Pictures used for illustration purposes only.

The All-new Lexus RC F Offers Asphalt-Grinding Performance And Head-Turning Design
Lexus is now offering asphalt-grinding performance with the all-new Lexus RC F.  The RC F coupe is styled to support the most powerful V8 performance car ever developed by Lexus.  Based on the all-new RC coupe that was revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show last November, the RC F has wider wheels and tires, an active rear wing, air scoops, cooling ducts and available carbon fiber components, each delivering uncompromising grit to the driving experience. The signature Lexus spindle grille, with a subtle F-pattern on the lower half, dominates the front of the RC F from the bottom of the hood to the lower lip.  The hood is higher than that of the RC to accommodate the larger V8 engine and create the powerful flared profile suited to an F model.  Ducts beneath the front bumper, fenders and strategically-placed aerodynamic stabilizing fins create a stance which further identifies the car.

Audi Presents All-New TT Interior At CES 2014

As Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Member of the Board of Management of AUDI AG for Technical Development says, “The first Audi TT was the design icon per se, the second generation was even sportier, right through to the TT RS plus with its five-cylinder TFSI and 360PS.
