Lotus Is Having the Giggles with 18 New Formula One Rules for 2014

Formula One has become increasingly boring lately, especially with Red Bull and Sebastian Vettel dominating the rankings the past four years. FIA’s recent regulations were decisive in this aspect, with most amendments basically killing every little bit of entertainment the F1 had to offer.

Lotus' 2014 F1 rules
Sure, some might not agree with this claim, but Formula One is far from being the thrilling racing series it was in the 20th century. On the other, it’s one of the safest racing series around, with no fatalities since 1994, when Ayrton Senna and Ronald Ratzenberger were killed at Imola.

The folks over at FIA know this, and apparently they’re trying to do something about it. However, the new “double points” rule spawned even more criticism from the teams and the drivers, being labeled as “nonsense” by four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel himself.

While Red Bull is somewhat upset with having to remain focused until the final event of the season, Lotus F1 is having a few giggles with a set of 18 new rules that are supposed to add to the sport. You can view them in our photo gallery section below, just like Lotus F1 posted them on Twitter.
