Testing in January and a 21-race calendar?

Formula 1 looks set for a record 21-race calendar in 2014, with the season kicking off earlier than usual to accomodate two new races.

Not only will the racing season begin earlier, testing will too. The teams are believed to have agreed to an additional pre-season test in January in order for them to get some early running with the new power units.

The first test, to be held in Jerez, is likely to take place on January 21st, lasting four days. The locations of the final three tests haven't been confirmed, but Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Bahrain are in the running to host one or more each.

With the season likely to begin two weeks earlier than usual in Bahrain - rather than Australia - on March 2nd, having the final test on the island kingdom makes sense as it would only be a week or two before the race.

A record breaking calendar also looks likely with the addition of Russia and New Jersey. At present we have 19 races following the loss of Valencia (Europe), and there are no signs of any race being dropped.

It's worth noting nothing has been ratified for 2014 yet. This proposal must be signed off by the FIA later in the year before it becomes official and, requires a change in the regulations to allow for testing to take place in January.

Caterham seguirá con motores Renault en 2014

Poco a poco se va aclarando el panoramo motorístico para la temporada 2014. Esta misma mañana, unas horas antes del Gran Premio de Singapur, Renault ha anunciado que Caterham seguirá utilizando sus motores la próxima temporada. Renault suministrará a Caterham el nuevo motor, el Renault Energy F1 (que así denominan al conjunto del nuevo motor V6 Turbo junto con el nuevo KERS) será para las próximas tres temporadas.

De esta forma, podríamos decir que ya tenemos a las cuatro escuderías que recibirán los propulsores franceses: Red Bull, Toro Rosso, Lotus y la propia Caterham. El límite que habían anunciado en Renault Sport F1 para no tener problemas de suministro. A todo esto podríamos añadir que la actual quinta escudería con motores Renault, Williams, tras dos años cambiará de proveedor pasando a manos de Mercedes-Benz.
