Formula One will once again make a stopover in Austria next year as the country will return to the calendar. The race is set to take place at the refurbished Red Bull Ring in Spielberg on July 6 following negotiations between Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz and F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone. http://www.planetf1.com/driver/18227/8836984/Austrian-GP-to-return-in-2014

The speed limit in the pitlane is now officially 80 km/h over the course of grand prix weekends after the rule was ratified by the World Motor Sport Council. The FIA then decided to bring the regulation charge forward and the speed limit has been reduced to 80 km/h (49.7 mph) from the Hungarian Grand Prix onwards as opposed to the 100 km/h (62.1 mph) it was before the incident. The Australian, Monaco and Singapore Grands Prix, though, will continue to have a stricter speed limit of 60 km/h (37.2 mph) because of the nature of the circuits. The WMSC also confirmed that all team members who work on a car during pit stops must now wear head protection. http://www.planetf1.com/driver/18227/8836565/Pitlane-speed-limit-reduced

Marussia have confirmed Ferrari as their new engine supplier with the Italian manufacturer providing them 1.6-litre V6 turbocharged power units from 2014. http://www.planetf1.com/driver/18227/8826186/Marussia-confirm-Ferrari-tie-up

any love for the old workhorse?

so.. merc is banned from the young drivers test because they took part in a illegal tyre test and gained an advantage from it. but the tyres they tested (and gained an advantage from) are no longer being used, so no advantage gained?

if massa go's i hope pasta steps up and moves to ferrari.

Honda will development and manufacture the new V6 turbo engines at its base in Japan, but it felt it was important to establish a European facility to support its racing operation. Yasuhisa Arai, Honda's chief officer of motorsports, said: "With the confirmation of a new F1 operation base in the UK, our preparation to join F1 has become more specific and concrete. "To meet and exceed the expectations of our fans, we will accelerate our development to bring back the unique Honda engine sound onto the track." The company plans to begin operations in Milton Keynes in June 2014. http://www.planetf1.com/driver/18227/8818737/Honda-confirms-Milton-Keynes-as-base

Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone responded to the pit-lane accident that occurred during the German Grand Prix, saying that cameramen will be allowed on the pit wall only from now on. Cameraman Paul Allen was hit by a wheel that came loose from Mark Webber's car following a botched Red Bull pit stop. Allen was taken to hospital after breaking his collarbone and cracking two ribs, although he is expected to make a full recovery. "I've been in close contact with everybody who has been dealing with the matter," Ecclestone told Press Association Sport. "It's a terrible thing to say, but it was just one of those things. "There was a whole bunch of mechanics and the tyre could have hit any one of those guys. The cameraman just happened to be looking the wrong way at the wrong time. "In future, all our camera crews will only be allowed to film from the pit wall." Ecclestone's announcement comes after several team principals called for helmets to be worn by everyone that works in the pit lane. http://www.planetf1.com/driver/18227/8814826/Ecclestone-announces-pit-changes
