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:

    • 100% hear you. I won't defend them but I will defend my ability to work twice as hard to keep them running. 馃ぃ
    • A mate had this style seat from SAAS years ago and they were pretty comfy but the quality was not great especially after a few years. Have you looked some 86/BRZ seats? the seat warmer is great and I use it a lot. I just drove almost 2hours and no issues with comfort.
    • I always find it both fascinating and educating seeing you go through all this. It's a bit like "BMWs are great. Except with one massive caveat: as long as you fix this two page long list of things where components are broken by design" Every now and then I consider getting a BMW. And then I read your posts and think that maybe the RB life is not so bad after all
    • For the record, I hate the colour. Even if I'll never see it again, I know its in there.
    • This is another issue I'm fixing. This little valve stops all the oil from draining to the sump when the engine is turned off. What happens eventually is that the engine is a little noisy and has the oil pressure light on for a few seconds after turning it on. Basically it takes a few seconds to build the pressure when all the oil has drained. This valve is a non serviceable part and is attached to the oil filter housing, BMW suggests to replace the entire housing if this valve fails.  As it turns out this valve can be removed and that means you can get an aftermarket replacement, which I did. The failure, for me at least is that the valve doesn't seat properly after a while, which I've demonstrated. The new one is a ball end and always seats properly.
