Geneva 2013: LaFerrari revealed

So, this is it, Ferrari’s Enzo replacement. Wait for it, it’s been named LaFerrari. Huh? The look is a little challenging too, that’s why we’ve started with the side profile above. There’s quite a bit of 458 Italia in the silhouette, which is good, but we’re pretty sure some other angles might leave you scratching […]

Grosjean fastest on Day 2 in Barcelona

Romain Grosjean has added to the reputation of Lotus being quick during the off-season by setting the fastest time in Day 2 of testing in Barcelona overnight. Wet weather greeted the teams again for most of the day, although conditions did allow some dry running in the afternoon before the rain returned in the closing […]

McLaren P1 revealed

McLaren has released more information on its P1 hypercar and, while we reckon they might have a few finer details up their sleeve for Geneva, this is as close to the full reveal as we’re going to get, we think. The P1 will be limited to 375 examples and will priced at £866,000 all in, […]

Rosberg fastest on Day 1 in Barcelona

Nico Rosberg has put Mercedes’ underwhelming efforts from Jerez behind him, along with everyone else, to put the F1 W04 on top of the timesheets after the first day of pre-season testing in Barcelona overnight. It was close at the top, though, with Rosberg (1:22.616) narrowly edging out Kimi Raikkonen (Lotus, 1:22.672). Fernando Alonso (Ferrari) […]

Williams unveils 2013 F1 car

The Formula 1 pre-season has sparked into life again tonight with testing resuming in Barcelona. Williams F1 figured they’d best reveal their 2013 car, the FW35, and here it is. Williams is another team to save us the visual pain of the stepped nose. In all as much as 80% of the car is new […]

Marussia unveils 2013 F1 car

After almost five years I still get a kick when logging into the Ferrari media portal. Little old me, in my humble lounge room in Canberra, with access to all the new and historical press information from one of the world’s most iconic and desirable manufacturers. It doesn’t matter if it’s photos from Ferrari’s F1 […]

Mercedes AMG unveils 2013 F1 car

This is the Mercedes F1 W04, the car Lewis Hamilton hopes won’t leave him looking like a fool after his highly publicised switch from the vastly more successful (in recent years) McLaren team. It took a while for us to get a decent look at the car as well, following some rather pointless teasing from […]

Red Bull Racing RB9 v RB8

We bring you another new versus old F1 comparison for you, this time it’s the 2013 RB9 shown alongside the dual championship winning RB8. The only catch is Red Bull doesn’t really provide too many suitable images for side by side comparisons. The top image is quite good, even though the differences are virtually impossible […]

Red Bull Racing unveils 2013 F1 car

Red Bull Racing has taken to YouTube to launch its RB9, via a three minute teaser video. More will be coming, they promise. Although, unfairly, I’ll be in bed and ready to hit the high-res pics in the morning. For now I leave you with the teaser clip which is quite funky it must be […]

Force India unveils 2013 F1 car

Force India revealed their 2013 VJM06 F1 car at Silverstone overnight. As with the other teams to show their cars already this year, aside from the modesty panel hiding the ugly stepped nose, the new car looks a lot like last year’s VJM05. Despite the relatively familiar looks Andy Green, Technical Director, says it’s a […]

Ferrari unveils 2013 F1 car

Here’s the new Ferrari F138, the car they hope will propel Fernando Alonso to the 2013 world championship. Once you discount this year’s latest fad, the modesty panel hiding the god awful noses we saw last year, then this Ferrari is not terribly different to look at compared with the F2012. Simone Resta, Deputy Chief […]

Lotus unveils 2013 F1 car

Sounding more and more like an old BMW model, this is the E21, the car the Lotus F1 Team, hopes will propel them to greater heights in the 2013 season. Here at Ausmotive HQ we were hoping to see the end of the terrible ‘platypus’ nose design from last year. But it seems as though […]
