Formula One has had its first of many crazy days in 2014. Today Red Bull announced the launch date for their title defending car (28.01.2014). Lotus Tweeted saying "the #E22 has passed all the homologation tests." This was shortly followed by the news that Bernie Ecclestone is stepping down from the Formula One board but will continue to run the sport on a day to day basis. This is due to Ecclestone's High Court appearance where he is charged with black mail. 4 hours later the incredible news broke that Ron Dennis will return to CEO at McLaren to be tasked with "Improving our on track and off track performance". This news hints that current under pressure Team Principle Martin Whitmarsh could be on his way out of McLaren. But earlier in the morning Pirelli announced that they had been given a new 3 year contract with F1 approved by the F.I.A.. All this kick starts the 2014 season in style!
