Toro Rosso are looking to change to Renault engines in 2014 in order to take advantage of their relationship with Red Bull. At present reigning World Champions Red Bull use Renault engines while Toro Rosso, the junior team, are powered by Ferrari. However, the Faenza-based squad is keen to swap suppliers, which would allow them to incorporate Red Bull's gearbox into their own car. "We are in negotiations with Renault and then we will see. No contract has been signed so far," said team boss Franz Tost. "This for sure would be an advantage because if you are racing with a Renault engine we would have the same gearbox as Red Bull, because this is possible from the regulation side. "We will use the synergies that the regulations will allow us to do." http://www.planetf1.com/driver/18227/8473356/Toro-Rosso-want-Renault-power

Nico Rosberg says he had a "good feeling" about his W04 right up until an electrical problem caused the car to stop. Driving Mercedes' new car on the very first day of pre-season testing, Rosberg's running came to an end in a fiery manner after just 11 laps. The German came to a halt out on track during the morning's session with unburnt fuel in the exhausts igniting resulting in flames briefly licking the rear right of the car. With a fault in a wiring loom deemed to be the cause, Mercedes called it quits for the day in order to make the necessary repairs. But despite only having a brief run on Tuesday, Rosberg is feeling positive about his new challenger. "At the start of winter testing, you often encounter small issues because the car you're running is a brand new design," said the German. "We had an electrical problem this morning and, once we had found the root cause, chose to modify the parts to make sure it didn't happen again. "Of course, at this time of year all you want to do is spend time in the car and get a feeling for how it's working, but these hiccups are just part of the game. "During the laps I completed this morning, I had a good feeling with the car and it felt solid." http://www.planetf1.com/driver/18227/8473958/Rosberg-downplays-electrical-glitch

they said they need more time. Dear all, Today, we have an official release date to share with you: Grand Theft Auto V will arrive in stores on September 17, 2013. We know this is about four months later than originally planned and we know that this short delay will come as a disappointment to many of you, but, trust us, it will be worth the extra time. GTAV is a massively ambitious and complex game and it simply needs a little more polish to be of the standard we and, more importantly, you require. To all Grand Theft Auto fans, please accept our apologies for the delay, and our promise that the entire team here is working very hard to make the game all it can be. We are doing all we can to help ensure it will meet if not exceed your expectations come September – we thank you for your support and patience. Yours, The GTA Team http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/48591/grand-theft-auto-v-is-coming-9172013.html meh i can wait.

McLaren took the covers off a "completely different" MP4-28 at their Technology Centre on Thursday. Similar in many other ways to its predecessor, Button says he is eager to get behind the wheel for the first time next Tuesday at Jerez. "The winter has been long but enjoyable," said the Brit. "But a Formula One driver wants to get back in a car and feel the speed again. "It's been an exciting few weeks, building the car and finally seeing it as one late last night." "It may look like last year's car, but under the skin it's completely different. "That's why it's so exciting. They've changed enough to make a difference. "You go into the season aiming to win the World Championship and thats's what we are doing." http://www.planetf1....ifferent-MP4-28 it looks like they tried to fix the elements of the car that they had problems with last year and evolve what worked well, like that front wing it's completely different to last years one.

Bernie ecclestone had been in talks with officials in an attempt to save the race but told German magazine Spiegel that: "After due consideration of their proposal we believe it is regrettably not financially acceptable, so we have terminated our negotiations." However, while Nurburgring's chances of hosting the race are looking slim, Hockenheim may be asked to fill the void. "I am doing my best to make sure we have an event in Germany," Ecclestone told theAssociated Press, "but, at the moment, I can't say whether it will be Hockenheim or Nurburgring." In an additional twist, Pitpass have reported that Jorg Linder and Kai Richter, two businessmen involved with the Nurburgring, are suing the circuit's boss, Karl-Josef Schmidt. The duo allege that Schmidt damaged the negotiations with Ecclestone. http://www.planetf1....saga-rumbles-on Ferrari have confirmed that their 2013 challenger will be called the F138. The name is derived from the current year, 2013, and the number of cylinders in the new model, 8. The car is the 59th Ferrari single-seater to do battle in F1 and will be launched on Friday. http://www.planetf1....-named-the-F138 Bernie Ecclestone says that Scorpion Racing will not feature on the 2013 grid despite a late attempt by the team to register. "I've spoken to them and told them to get in touch with the FIA and ask for an entry," said the Briton. "They want to buy all the bits from HRT, then form a company and ask for an entry, but I personally don't think it will happen. It's all a bit too late. Maybe they could do it for next year." http://www.planetf1....-Racing-in-2013
