o'beerous one i think webber changed to slicks on his first stop, it started raining again soon after and he had a few dicey moments so he made the call to come back in for wets (just prior to that rain he was putting in some very good times), then it dried again hence the 3rd stop which cruelled his chances.

he would have wasted about 50 seconds with the 2 extra stops which more or less would have left him in front of Vettel (which might have been a dangerous place based on last week). barrichello also got caught out the same way. so a case of coulda shoulda woulda.

it wasn't as bad as the pitstop after the safety car from a few races back.....

yeah you're right, he did switch to slicks at the first stop, then wimped out when it got a bit wet. my point is, he should have 1 waited a few more laps before putting the slicks on, then once the choice was made he needed to stick with it. as when he came in to go back to wets that was when the rain was just about to stop :yucky: hindsight is a wonderful thing, but some smart thinking could have predicted that I reckon. well a few other teams predicted it...

Oh, yeah. For anyone that remember Satoro, this will bring a smile to your face.

Nakajima to race for Williams in Brazil

Tuesday, 09, October, 2007, 10:30

Kazuki Nakajima will race for Williams in the season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix, the Grove squad confirmed on Tuesday.

Nakajima, the team’s official test and reserve driver, will step into the seat vacated by Alex Wurz, who announced on Monday that he would be retiring from Formula 1 racing with immediate effect.

The 22-year-old Japanese driver has covered more than 4,300 miles of testing in the FW29 as well as earning rookie of the year honours in the GP2 series.

“I am very grateful to the team who have given me this opportunity,” he said.

“I hope I now know the car very well and thankfully have done some Friday driving as recently as Shanghai.

“This is a chance I intend to grab with both hands and repay the faith the team are showing in me with a strong performance.”

Team boss Frank Williams explained that the purpose of running Nakajima was to allow him to gain F1 experience rather than to evaluate him for a 2008 race seat.

“You cannot assess a driver’s capability on the basis of one race but this is an ideal opportunity to develop Kazuki’s experience,” he said.

“I am confident he will approach the race in a very workmanlike and focused way.”

Dave Richards won't back down, not now...

It is not a matter of him backing down or otherwise. It is a matter of the rules allowing him to run a McLaren chassis or not.

Currently he can't, so no Prodrive for 2008.

Which is fine because he needs to fix the bloody WRC cars anyway.

LOL..that was my point! And talk around that Alonso has made a committment to Renault previded he is released

lol the source is some newspaper which is known for their "bs". BUT i think there is a big chance he will head back but Renault did shithouse this season and im pretty sure Alonso won't want to go into a car which is up to speed

Go Webbo! :thumbsup:

Mark Webber says he was unfazed when the British press described him as a 'whinger' at the recent Chinese Grand Prix.

In a news conference in Shanghai, the Australian driver slammed Lewis Hamilton for having done a 'shit job' behind the safety car at Fuji Speedway a few days earlier.

The Red Bull driver said the British championship leader's erratic driving had contributed to Sebastian Vettel crashing him out of contention for the race win.

"I got pretty much slaughtered by the British gutter press about what I said," the 31-year-old wrote this week in his column for Eurosport.

"I guess that's what happens when you say something negative about the golden boy.

"

Webber, though, said that despite the media attacks, including the description of him as 'whinging Webber', he will not be put off speaking his mind in the future.

"Cowboys don't cry, I say, and I have some pretty thick skin," he added. "It's old news now, and those newspapers are already wrapping chips, so what difference does it really make?"

they're running a story on formula1.com about how the FIA will be watching their drivers to "ensure equality"

i find that hilarious - especially given ferrari's history going in the opposite direction. granted, both mac drivers are in with a shot at the title though. still, gave me a chuckle. i bet alonso will be out there with his pressure gauge making sure nobody has let his tyres down!

P.S.

Next weekend will be the big test for the guy. Watching the two recent wet races he may have been leading but he wasnt convincing in the wet. You would have to say that Kimi, Kubica, Vettel and Button were all doing a better job in the wet. Alonso was ragged in Japan but great in China.

Any stat geeks around? Will be intereting to see that stats for the year...most wins (kimi), poles and fastest laps.

That all said Louise has done a better job then i thought possible over the length of the season...so who knows.

    • 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 !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
