In the 2015 Formula 1 season, ten teams will compete for the championship title. Among them was the Manor Marussia team, which waited until five past twelve for a ticket from the International Automobile Federation (FIA). Otherwise, we will see old faces, but only when it comes to the names of the teams, because this year's championship of the queen of motorsport brings plenty of fresh blood, as the teams have rejuvenated not only the racing cars, but also their drivers. The youngest among the F1 racers, Max Verstappen (Toro Rosso), was a historic 17 years old when he made his debut.

Ferrari's vision of the future of the Formula 1 racing car is far from the cars we are used to. The racing car is a real feast for the eyes, which can hardly be said for the cars that are currently running around the racetracks. But strict aerodynamic rules dictated by the FIA keep designers on a tight leash, which hasn't stopped the most successful team in Formula 1 history from offering a concept that is a possible glimpse into the racing circus of the future.
The McLaren-Honda team recently released the first photos of the new racing car with the hard-to-remember name MP4-30 to the media. But why should we remember this, when their slogan for the 2015 season, ''Back to the future!'', which they borrowed from the movie of the same name, is easier to hear. For promotional purposes, they also recorded a parody of the famous scene with the DeLorean, where the latter is played by a McLaren 650S, and Marty McFly and Doc Brown are played by Alonso and Button.
Formula 1 drivers today have steering wheels in their cars that resemble toy consoles. The round, technologically undemanding steering wheel is a thing of the past. With it, the racer no longer only tames the chassis, so it is no wonder that they are made according to the wishes and needs of the driver. Let's see what the most successful drivers, Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, tamed the racetracks with this year.
We have already written many times about various car-over-car jumps, which were timed to the smallest detail, so this is no longer anything special. How about jumping a real straight truck with a trailer that would jump a real F1 race car? But that's a completely different "song", isn't it?!
By the time you click to get to the gallery, the McLaren P1 has already reached a speed well over 100km/h. The supercar, which sits alongside the Bugatti Veyron, was launched in October 2013 and in less than a month, all 375 models were sold out. The initial price was around one million euros.
