F1 drivers such as Felipe Massa still have doubts over new regulations

Confused

The new f1 season is set to start from March this year and there will be a lot of regulation changes introduced this time around.

This in turn has kept the drivers on their toes, as some of them are still trying to figure out what they might be.

New Williams driver Felipe Massa stated on their website: “There are many changes for this year but everyone is in the same boat.”

“Until we are in the car we don’t know what we need to learn and what we don’t, things like how to feather the throttle with the big increase in torque, and how the stronger ERS will affect driving. “

“Aerodynamically the cars will have less down force than in 2013, especially in the first half of the season. These are big changes which we need to understand as quickly as possible when we start testing.”

Force India driver Nico Hulkenberg too was uncertain and said: “At the moment, nobody knows how this season and the new cars are going to be,” the told told Force India’s website.

“There are a lot of questions which we can’t really answer until we have been on the track, running – not even the first race will be the absolute truth teller. There will be a lot of data we need to look at and analyse, work with it to go forward.

“Never before there has been a situation like this, when with just a couple of weeks before the first test nobody has any idea of where everyone is. It’s a pretty unique situation for everyone.”
