And, here it is, after long wait; the last of the 2013 F1 cars:

The FW35, which which the once mighty Williams squad hopes to continue their long, slow climb back to F1 relevancy.

Former GP3 standout Valtteri Bottas moves up from the test driver role to join Pastor Maldonado, who gave Williams their first victory since '04 last season. The question is: Will we see more of the potentially great Maldonado, and less of the 'Crashtor' who can't keep all four corners on the car?

IN OTHER NEWS:

The second seat at Marussia has been filled by Luiz Razia, who finished 2nd in the '12 GP2 campaign with 4 victories to his credit.

Over at Force India, the last open seat on the grid is supposedly still up for grabs. However, former driver Adrian Sutil, who is one of the three men most commonly mentioned as it's eventual occupant, has been been brought in to help with the 2nd pre-season test session, which begins today at Barcelona.

Thanks Andy for doing all this. It is cool to see all the upcoming cars and driver changes. There are a lot of rookies, should be an interesting year. I wonder if any have a chance to reach the podium, or even a win.

Does anyone else think the Williams looks ugly. I know there is no duck bill nose, but the front is still ugly.

No real suprise here:

f1sa.com: Sutil gets 2nd Force India seat

It'll be interesting to see how he does after 1 year away from F1 - & how he stacks up against Di Resta.

This, however, is a new - & potentially unpleasant - developement:

f1sa.com: Razia seat in jepoardy?

More signs of trouble at Marussia. As I've said before, I question whether they survive to see 2014.
