If he was smacking the field about winning most races with a massive points lead I could possibly see him retiring but he's been fighting for the last few championships and I don't think he's about to give up yet.

F1 will be rather dull without MS that's for sure!

Kovalainen replaces Alonso

62854.jpg

Having confirmed Giancarlo Fisichella as a 2007 race driver last June, Renault announced this morning that current test driver Heikki Kovalainen, 24, will race alongside him in 2007

looks like Raikonnen is off to Ferrari next year... its a pity, would have loved to have seen him in the same car as Alonso to see what they could do against each other. Still, that one less piece in the jigsaw puzzle. Bring on Monza!!

yeah, it should have been webber fisi, or webber kovalenien. either way I'm still reeling from the fact that webber could not put together a deal at renault. even with his manager running that team. I reckon he has once again been screwed by flava flav.

the only, and i mean ONLY, reason i can see why Renault kept Fisi is to help kovalenien get adjusted to the car for race weekend setup and technical info guidence... but thats a pretty weak argument...

i think he kept him cause of the whole "will renault continue in F1" debarcle a few months back. All the second tier drivers we either gone, or going to other teams already and Renault must have though that keeping the team stable with Fisi was the best option. Webber would have kicked his Roman ass all year if they snapped him up

a sad day for F1. I'm very sorry he didn't do a final year farewell tour next year. that would have been great, and would have gaurenteed sell out crowds at every F1 race on the calendar.

let's hope he can seal up this years WDC and leave in style.

a great man, and a great racer. Certainly in the top 3 drivers of all time. 7 (8?)WDC will never be replicated in my life time.

I can't beleive that I missed the race. I haven't missed one in years, but I just completely forgot it was on last night.

Probably good that i didnt stay up to watch it though as i was already tired and was up at 4:30am today.

:(:(:D MS leaving, I read it at 4:30 this morning when I woke up, and was upset...then I saw he won last nights GP, and that Alonso had a DNF!!!! that makes the gap 2 points now?!

If he has to retire this year, I hope he takes the title on his way out!

Benm: Upload the entire race for me please ! lol

      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?

      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)
