the monster is the last of a species in current F1... hopefully Alonso and kimi keep up their Suzuka action cause no-one else is gonna do it

two of the best moves in 2005

well what a boring ass race. the first 10 mins were great. the rest was a bit ho-hum. good to see MS punish them just like the good ol days, but a shame massa couldn't do his job properly which meant MS only takes 2 points away from sanchez. that sucks.

webber. well no comment there. his season is going no where. badly in need of a new car/new team.

I agree - first lap aside, that was one of the most boring races of the season (bad trend developing here...the last few races have been similar).

Highlights of the race...

1) Jenson Button talking up his great race pace in an interview after getting to a fantastic 12th place before retiring (despite the fact that the majority of people he passed were parked in a pit garage) - what an idiot!

2) Next to no mention of Jenson Button during the race.

I feel sorry for Webber. The guy is trying hard and clearly outperforming the car and yet he still can't finish a race in that Williams shitbox. It's sad, but Williams are on a fast track to the F1 scrap heap the way they're going - they couldn't even match the pace of the Torro Rosso's during the majority of the race which is just plain embarassing really.

I just hope for Webber's sake that he gets a seat with a decent team for next year to allow him to demonstrate his true potential as I doubt Williams will be competitive any time soon (if ever again!).

Is his contract up next year?

William's option over Webber ends in two weeks, so he is open to go elsewhere if they dont sign him up. But thinking about it, what seat will he realistically get? Ppl say Renault, but i just dont know. Thiessen loves him from their time at Williams, so could replace JV. There is a seat at McLaren, i dont know there are a few seats around, but im a bit concerned if Williams dont retain his services then Webber may lose out in the musical chairs that will be what is Kimi and MS doing :wave:

that would be a dream come true. he would never win a world championship as a no.2 ferrari driver but he would certainly be on for some wins. i reckon he would make a good team mate for MS too. plus they both have massive jaws. match made in heaven.

yeah troy i'm a bit worried too as everyone will be watching to see what happens with MS and kimi, but i think MS will come back next year in ferrari and kimi will stay at mclaren or maybe move to renault. it's a bit hard to guess though. i'd love to see webber in a ferarri or big mac or even god help us a renault.

So Flavio doesnt want Webber in the Renault...that tells me something.

You would have to think that Flavio has his paws in Kimi, just to piss Ron Dennis off no doubt :)

There is some talk around that Frank wanted Montoya back at Williams because he could have gotten him pretty cheap. With Wurz and Rosberg at Williams in 2007, Frank stands to save a fair wad of money, as a stalling point for signing Webber has been the scheduled pay increase if his 3rd year option was taken up.

So its not unimaginable that Frank spends the money on engineering when he has two very capable drivers in Wurz and Rosberg...so with Renault wanting Kimi, and most likely to get him, where does that leave Webber?

Red Bull and BMW?????? Most likely BMW as MT rates him highly, but then again if Flavio can swing a Renault engine deal the way of Red Bull then perhaps Webber can get a foot on the door with his old team, a team whom he got a long with really well from the Jaguar days

FUX0R. I was so hopinhg webber could pull together a deal with renault, or mac or fezza. this year of all years held the best opportunity. with alonso moving, juan leaving a seat free, schui not having a rock solid wing man... all those things told me this was webbers best shot at a big dollar big team big budget drive... instead we get another year with the sheltered workshop at grove.

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By PranK · Posted

      I once hit my knee on an exhaust on my sisters Suzuki Sierra after she drove it her *normal* way. My knee looked like porridge for weeks. Bec and my daughters never go near this car. I can see one of my dogs losing an ear though. 🤔

      Nice, love a good GTS-t.  IMHO the factory body kit with the 'aero' front bumper is perfect. Can't improve on it unless it's a GT-R. But it looks like you changed it to the normal bumper?

      Easy solution to both of those. Put a split bit of garden hose on each one. Attractive and practical!

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      So I guess the next thing to do will be to discuss whether to create a new section of the forums to hold the library (boo hiss?), somewhat undoing the recent tidy up, or if there is a bolt on wiki module for Invision? (I must profess ignorance as to what has been done, what it might cost, etc. I have only briefly googled and seen discussion on adding it.) Or is a wiki even the best way to do what I'm talking about? It possibly isn't. Given that we're trying to re-display forum content, it probably needs to be presented as forum content in forum format, and a wiki would probably struggle with that. A wiki might still be the best way to do some other things, so I'll keep the idea simmering if we don't use it here. Back to the library as "part of the forums". Would we do a single new library? Or put a library thread in each section? Pluses and minuses for each of these, surely. Would we do as I originally suggested, and make the first post in the library be the total of the library, with any reply posts just being the inputs and suggestions I originally posited? Or would we allow posts to accumulate one after the other, each containing additions to the library? Maybe the first post is still an index or something. It's all sounding horribly more manual and messy than my original brain fart. But I hope there's some other good ideas floating around - because every time I come up with a new one of my own I immediately see problems with it.

      Tips look fine to me......but Boring stuff: Legalities - Vehicle standards notes that exhausts cannot extend to a point where they could cause injury Scary stuff: Mrs cuts open her shin putting stuff in the boot (ensure you have some bandaids and shiny jewellery handy)
