Australian Grand Prix champion Fernando Alonso says he does not yet have a car capable of winning next month's season-opening Formula One race at Albert Park.

Despite setting the pace in testing at both Jerez last week and in Barcelona this week, Alonso says he is concerned about the car's performance.

The Spanish reigning world champion says at the moment the MP4-22 looks better than it goes.

"The times have turned out well and everyone is aware of us but the car is not ready for Australia and the days are running out," Alonso told Spain's Telecinco television channel.

"It is not going to win at the moment. For the time being the thing I like most about it is the colour."

"At the moment the handling isn't right, it needs more traction and more power," Alonso said before the Barcelona test.

Oh, dear. :laugh:

Williams are looking a better bet then RBR at the moment. LOL im tempted to put money on Williams to beat RBR most of the season. They shouldnt, but they will for no other reason then Webber leaving and his recent smack talk about his former team.

Honda are slwo along with RBR. Honda usually play the off season game. Perhaps this eyar they are confident enough in their car that they are going to go out and jsut do the job?

All i know is im starting to worry about the pace of RBR. They are not doing as many laps, and they are off the pace as well?

Finally good news. DC put some fresh rubber on the RBR and i assume low tanks and actually tried to punch out some quick short tuns. Tops the timesheet for the final day of testing at Barcelona, beating all the big boys.

So here is to hoping that the car has the poterntial for some pace, though Webbers car broke down twice :wave:

    • I wouldn't be concerned at all, other than to suggest having them flow tested when you receive them to confirm they are reasonably similar, and then put the highest to lowest flowing ones in cylinder 6,1,5,2,4,3
    • I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
