Lotus was far away from anything in the last years. 1993 was a very deciding season. But Lotus prooved that they can still reach something. Three Points with a car that normally isn´t able to score points was all in all a good result.
1994 things should go better for Lotus. They have a solid Budget, Free Engines from Mugen, experienced drivers. Seems like something is possible.
Owner : Hawke
Chassis : McLaren MP4/9
Engine : Peugeot 3.5 V10
Drivers : Damon Hill & Mika Häkkinen
McLarens new MP4/9 should become a Championship Contender. Two fast drivers, a really good 1993 car - and... a Peugeot-Engine shall bring the Championship back to McLaren. If Peugeot built a good Engine everything is possible.
Owner : HF
Chassis : Williams FW16
Engine : Renault 3.5 V10
Drivers : Ayrton Senna & Nigel Mansell
Williams hasn´t dominated the 1993 Championship but they won it again. And this is the goal for 1994, too. Nothing is changed for 94 but the colors are...
Simtek:
After the desastrous 93er season the team hopes to qualify for as many GPs as possible. The team is confident to have 2 strong drivers this time: Brabham did well last season and hopefully he can get even better. Wendliger did great with a reasonable machine in 1992 and maybe can do it again.
Nevertheless, this will be a hard season and the team hopefully manges to survive at the end of the field.
Owner : HF
Chassis : Tyrrell 022
Engine : Cosworth HB 3.5 V8
Drivers : Johnny Herbert & David Coulthard
After stepping backwards in the last years, Tyrrell wants to improve again. Experienced Johnny Herbert and Debutant David Coulthard of Scotland shall get the now Cosworth-Powered Tyrrell back to the Podium. Keep the fingers crossed!
Owner : Mäxx
Chassis : March CG941
Engine : Ilmor 3.5 V10
Drivers : Eddie Irvine & Olivier Grouillard
March hadn´t the best car in 1993 for sure. But anyway - They made the best of it and scored some Points. If they can improve a little bit this year they have reached a lot with their new Drivers Irvine and Grouillard.
After a promising 1993 season Jordan surely wants even more Points this year. Youngster Rubens Barrichello and Japanese Ukyo Katayama want to show a lot.
Owner : Klon
Chassis : Minardi M194
Engine : Mugen-Honda 3.5 V10
Drivers : Jos Verstappen & Allan McNish
The small Italian Squad had a fantastic 1993 Season scoring a 2nd Place at Monte Carlo which were their first ever Podium Finish in Formula One. If they continue that way, we can expect a lot!
Owner : Klon
Chassis : Arrows A15
Engine : Hart 3.5 V10
Drivers : Nicola Larini & Mika Salo
Everything is new at Arrows after March, Williams and Tyrrell helped to safe them from bankrupty. Different Chassis, different Engines, different Drivers. Should be easy to make it better than 1993....
Owner : V12-Power
Chassis : Dallara BMS194
Engine : Ilmor 3.5 V10
Drivers : Mark Blundell & Christian Fittipaldi
After loosing their Lamborghini Works-Deal this can become a difficult season for the Dallara-Squad. With Mark Blundell & Christian Fittipaldi they suely want to improve - but this is a hard excersise...
Having signed two drivers that haven´t shown a lot, Brabham has to show a lot this year. Lets keep the Fingers crossed that Brabham will still be alive at the end of the season!
March:
After a good season in 1993 the goals are to stay in the midfield and to be able to score points more often and with own strength (last year the points mostly resulted out of chaotic races).
The tests where promising and the team is quite confident for this season
