In two weeks it is already 2014. On the track in Sakhir, Bahrain, the Pirelli will begin testing with its tires for next year . But the sensational news is that these tests will not take place with a car "laboratory" . A shoot will be three teams involved in the world . And they will do with the cars, 2013, in derogation from the rules would only use them two years ago or even older!
It was the FIA to give permission. On the track there will be Ferrari , Red Bull and Mercedes . It seems that Ferrari had insisted that his car could run on its own. It also seems that the Lotus had been invited, but declined because he does not have the necessary funds for these test days.
So a section "reserved" for the top teams , the top finishers in the world just ended (and even the McLaren !). In and of itself is a logical choice to use newer cars. What is puzzling is why the opportunity is only open to three teams. The smaller teams are not at all happy with a decision, now, will give way to the top teams to gather first-hand information. It is true that this information will then be passed to all, but unlike some evidence "private", the teams should have access to all the data .
Of course now there are not many structures that can afford this extra expense. The world has yet to begin in 2014, and already there are controversies ...
