New Formula 1 season 2017 is already behind the corner. First race will be on 26th of March in Melbourne, Australia.
Biggest change in the teams is in Mercedes AMG. Niko Rosberg won the F1 world championship last season, but he surprisingly informed just few days after the season he will quit racing in F1. Mercedes AMG found the new driver from Williams and he is Valtteri Bottas. It will be interesting to see how fast Bottas will be against Hamilton.
One of the most interesting part of the new season will be new F1 cars. There will be big changes. Check this video to see all the changes in the cars.
There is about one month for the season start and I think it will be very interesting season.
After all the rumors Now it's official. Valtteri Bottas, 27-year-old Finn, has signed the contract with Mercedes-AMG F1 team for 2017. Contract was signed today morning 16th of January 2017.
This will be good opportunity for Valtteri to drive in the top team. Everybody knows also the talent what Lewis has, so the comparison will be interesting.
2017 will be Valtteri's fifth season in F1. He drove four years for Williams F1 team making 77 starts and scoring 9 podiums.
Nico Rosberg has announced his retirement from Formula One less than one week after he won the world championship in Abu Dhapi.
Nico: "I want to take the opportunity to announce I've decided to end my Formula One career in this moment here, on Monday. To explain, ever since I started, when I was 6 years old, I had a very, very clear dream, and that was to become Formula One world champion. It was very clear in my mind, as long as I can think when I was growing up. Now I've achieved that, I've put everything into it for 25 years of racing."
Nico's father Keke Rosberg won F1 world championship in 1982 on Williams.

Manila, Philippines. Yesterday I had a nice surprise here in Fort Bonifacio. I had a plan to go riding my motorcycle and took some photos. I took DSLR to bag and then elevator to downstairs. I rode bike out of garage and I saw lots of people in the first junction. I went to check what´s ongoing and I heard here is Lotus F1 team driving on the streets! My motorcycling trip was over.
Event: Lotus F1 Team on street circuit Driver: Marlon Stöckinger Place:Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City, Metro-Manila, Philippines Date: 27.6.2015
Soon it was possible to hear the F1 sound and also car itself came to street.
Driver was Swiss-Philippino Marlon Stöckinger, who belongs to Lotus F1 Junior Team.
Marlon drove only two three laps and there was break. During the break there came motorcycles to the street circuit.
Next was time for the sport cars. There was lot of cars like Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborchini. Here Lamborchini Diablo on the front and Ferrari 458 Italia behind.
Then it was time for the F1 again.
Pedal to the metal...
...and good burnouts...
...and forward.
Ones Marlon was driving to towards the place when I was. I showed to stop and do some burnouts and he did. Unfortunatelly I was not ready with the camera to film the whole thing, but something anyway. The F1 sounds in live are something orgastic!
Very good event. There was also last year same event, but I didn´t know about it, so I missed it. It was very close also this time, but luckily I saw it now. More this kind of events.
