Thought we should maybe have a new thread to cover any out of season goings on. I'll start the ball rolling With This funne how they refer to him as 'former sports journalist' seeing as he's been the head of Mercedes motorsport for over 20 years (one for Enforcer that) Be amusing if Ron Dennis joins them

Excellent feature on Ron Dennis, how he got into F1 and built Mclaren to be the powerhouse it is today. Article here.

That's not the new car, it's not being unveiled until Feb 4th. All Mercedes are trotting out currently are pictures of Lewis looking decidedly grumpy for someone who's getting a 17.5 mil salary!

So, according to the BBC, not only has Toto Wolff moved from Williams to Mercedes, but apparently, Paddy Lowe has left McLaren to go in the same direction, leading to Ross Brawn and Nick Fry quitting Merc. I wonder how much of this Lewis Hamilton either knew about or prompted...

Hamilton interview on the BBC website reports that he says his first season at Merceded will be tough. SO why move I do think though that they could be competative whne the new rules and angines come in 2014. There are already reports that they will have an advantage over non engine manufacturer teams in that they will be building the engine and the chassis to complement each other. Also if Brawn stays he is the best person to react and push the rule boundaries. Will be interesting to see how Lewis reacts to a season of mid grid qualifying. Fascinated too to see how the dynamics work with Nico and how they will compare. Can't wait for the first tests on the 5th Feb

Looks like 15 minute highlights to me... The scheduling details of Sky Sports’ coverage of the first Formula 1 test of the 2013 season from Jerez have today been confirmed. Alongside the Sky Sports News live daily updates with Rachel Brookes or Craig Slater, the channel will be airing 15-minute ‘segments’ of each day – all in one go on Saturday 9th February. There is nothing currently scheduled for each day from Tuesday 5th February, and nor is there coverage on the channel of the car launches. At the moment, the schedule is as follows for Sky Sports F1:
Saturday 9th February 12:00 – F1: Testing Day 1 12:15 – F1: Testing Day 2 12:30 – F1: Testing Day 3 12:45 – F1: Testing Day 4 —- 14:00 – F1: Testing Day 1 (R) 14:15 – F1: Testing Day 2 (R) 14:30 – F1: Testing Day 3 (R) 14:45 – F1: Testing Day 4 (R) —- 18:00 – F1: Testing Day 1 (R) 18:15 – F1: Testing Day 2 (R) 18:30 – F1: Testing Day 3 (R) 18:45 – F1: Testing Day 4 (R)
Friday 15th February 18:30 to 19:30 – The F1 Show
What the 15-minute shows will consist of is unknown, but it will likely be a few interviews from each day along with clips of the action.
Also of note is that The F1 Show will be repeated on the main Sky Sports channels throughout this year. Given how poorly the 20:00 editions of The F1 Show performed last year, I wouldn’t be surprised if 18:30 is a permanent slot for the F1 Show going forward for the studio editions.
It is possible that the above may change, if so I will update this blog post.

I don't think there is any danger of not having it on Sky, they are desparate for material for the channel. So suspect it will be in full.

Good, but the same thing happened in 2012 until the teams got to grips with them. Let's hope 2 pit stops last all year.
