The 2014 season of F1 has still a long time ahead to begin, however the teams have begun their testing. These pre-season are vital as it gives the teams an indication who their competition is or how far away they are from the front runners.
The 2014 season opener is scheduled to begin in Melbourne, Australia with Qualifying beginning on 15, March followed by the race on 16, March 2014.
The first pre-season test of 2014 took place at Jerez in Spain. In a bizarre turn of events former Ferrari driver Felipe Massa, now racing for Williams turned out on the top of timing sheet. The Brazilian racer churned out 50 plus laps in the Mercedes powered car.
Fernando Alonso, kept his Ferrari for most of the day ahead of every other team in respect to race pace. The Spaniard completed a phenomenal 114 laps in his Prancing Horse.
The other surprise came in from the third racer in the timesheet, test driver for Sahara Force India Daniel Juncadella. So, from this we can expect the Indian owned team to be classified higher in the points this year.
