So it begins

The first car launch of 2012 happened a few days ago, in a unique fashion to usual...
Caterham revealed their CT-01 through F1 Racing magazine with exclusive pictures and interviews.

 CT-01

The shape of the nose was the main talking point, mainly the fact it supposedly looks like a platypus, but we all better get used to it because it will be a familiar look up and down the grid. Maybe 2012 isn't the year of as pretty shaped cars but the colour scheme looks good.

Next week the rest of the car launches begin with McLaren's car debut and like dominoes the rest of the teams will reveal their weapon's for the year.

With recent speculation on the final seat at Williams being between Brazilians Rubens Barrichello or Bruno Senna, now that it's been published Adrian Sutil will be standing trial.
 
The deal has been done with Bruno Senna and he will officially drive for Williams in 2012, a slightly emotional signing seeing as Williams was the last team that his uncle Ayrton Senna drove for. This was a choice that has split many F1 fans, of course we're all very happy to see Bruno get a seat but at the same time gutted for Rubens who has had 19 seasons in Formula 1, is an all-round favourite and one of the most liked, respected and loveliest guys on the grid and off the grid. Most would love to see him have one final season or at the very least a true send off for a legendary career. 
We're sure this isn't the end of Rubens being involved in F1 as he said in a BBC interview last season "Formula 1 is my life" this will be an end of an era if he doesn't sign for the only other available seat at HRT.

  
I'm looking forward to seeing Bruno Senna back on track though, let's hope it's a move that will benefit Williams and put them back on the right road to being a successful Formula 1 team!


Now the question is, who will be the final signing at HRT?

MotoGP: On the grid 2012


Provisional entry list for 2012, of course this is subject to change but it's good to see more riders on the grid this season with the help from CRT bikes.
