That's my point! The gunt engineering team and funding of Fezz came up with the car that was skillfully piloted by Schuey. Your point on Vettel is exactly what makes what Kimi has done so special! Anyway....Kimi has the best haircut. Seems he is a fan of the Kurgan as well

Yeh, but wasnt 2002 the year that Ferrari had a cake walk to the championhsip. Doesnt really matter if they are not handing out points below P6 or whatever when you and your compliant team mates car is light years ahed of others in performance and reliability

In some regards, Yes, easier to do than before. Cars are more reliable which helps. Points down to P10 which helps. But can you think of a time when the grid is covered by something like 2.5 seconds in quali at Silverstone with quality cars and steerers from the 5th and 6th teams like Force India etc? I can think of plenty of seasons where only 1-2 teams won a GP. In the last few years you have had Ferrari, Lotus, RBR, Merc, McLaren and Williams win races with FI and Sauber in the hunt of top 5 finishes. its pretty competitve these days...so still think Kimi racking up all those points finishes is a HUGE achievement

Mark Webber's Williams years provided a favourite anecdote about him, which says a lot about his determination, sense of justice and humour. Like all top Aussie sportsmen, Webber is not immune to a few psychological games to boost his chances. And it was he who invented the nickname "Britney" - as in popstar Spears - for his young, blond and good-looking 2006 Williams team-mate Nico Rosberg, then in his first season. Their final race together was in Brazil, where Rosberg rammed into the back of his team-mate's car on the opening lap, breaking the front nose of the German's car and Webber's rear wing. Because it's relatively quick to replace a front wing replacement but a damaged rear means a likely retirement, the two were given a "priority Rosberg" message over the radio as they headed back to the pits. Webber, cross at his team-mate's mistake, was determined to get back first and they began to race - really race - despite Rosberg suffering from lack of front grip and Webber struggling with the rear. As they came on to the pit straight, Rosberg was just ahead, only to lose control through the flat-out kink before the pits and crash heavily into a concrete barrier. Webber was right behind him and, as he passed the incident, the team came back on the radio with another "priority Rosberg" message. Webber paused for effect before replying in a languid Aussie drawl: "Britney's in the wall."

As Dan said pre-race everyone thought that tyre durability was not going to be a concern for the race and it was going to be a pretty straight up fight. How wrong they all were. It woudl have been a perfectly good race if the tyres had not blown up as Vettel on Hamo would have been a good contest and ditto Webber in the back of the top 10 trying to come back through. The DRS zone made life rather easy so didnt need tyre grenades

Almost the greatest ending ever! Dan got gobbled up by cars on fresh tyres too

LOL...ahhh so great to see. Come on Mark. Lets get it done from here!

Farking STR messing up Dans pitstop has hurt him from having a top 5 finish

What a farce!

My beloved TD06-20G is for sale. Now running T67 so this is just sitting around/ Will take $1000 for it. Comes with an 8cm TRUST housing. If you want the turbo without housing will do it for $750. That way you can run a Kando style T3 or so for $150. Come with elbow welded to compressor cover Perfect running order...has about 80,000kms on it but only came off for T67. Tempted to put back on as was way gruntier then T67 as made a nice 306rwkws on RB20...and was rather epic for same power when put on an RB25 On RB20 and E85 Run 170 was on RB25 with boost controller not setup

Will take $1100 + delivery for the next week if someone is keen

$1200 plus delivery for the next few days if someone is keen

Well done Massa. Maybe Fezz will walk down the pits and try and steal Webber off Porsche

Fark it...think I have found a window to go to Spa Going to camp at the circuit...just waiting for my mate in Scotland to confirm eh can duck away from the Mrs for 4 days

Mixed feelings about how he announced it. Good on him for being "no notice Webber" and doing it on his terms. But six for his mechanics and those close to him in the team to not hear it from him directly. I suspect the way he announced it has done him no favours with regards to trying to bag a few more GPs before year is out. Oh well...have to decide whether I go to Singapore, India or Japan. Most likely Japan...over India and street races suck for access and spectating!

So as an indication what lap times are you doing at Sandown? Assuming you have desent semi slicks than if the car is doing sub 1:20s then I say you may be in the region that its time to chase reponse.

I am guessing the original post could be an error in stating 10.5" and may be 9.5" ???????

The right twin EFRs on an RB26 are animals...its just they are not easy to plumb and god knows if they are even available that the moment

Any engine bay pics and underside pics of chassis rails etc Also some better pics of the interior?

Before running off and question the brakes heck wheel alignment, you are running the same tyre type and condition front and rear. ..and check ride heights and condition of rear calipers. ...no obvious why an R34 doesn't stop straight and stable

I may be dumb., but I aint blind! ... You keeping the leather dash? Only car on teh grid with leather dash and stereo!

...Red wheels. One step closer to being ready for the circus!

Amazing work as always Richo! Can you comment on the z222 vs AO50s for grip, wear etc? Out of interest outside of the Berry R32 and R34 last year, what other GTRs got around the 1:34-35 mark ?

What GTR do you have? It is not uncommong for R32s to struggle with the rear end and be less stable than R33/34s under brakes.

That front diff and transfer case Richo put in is doing the job
