Kimi Raikkonen pips Lewis Hamilton

bit unoriginal arnt we... looks like it might be a close one. Ferrari will run light in final quali so as not to repeat the last race embarrassment.

that was a bit of an odd one... that leaves so many questions unanswered

What was with Alnoso?

Why was Kimi so slow in the last stint?

How was Hamilton faster on the harder tyres?

Why couldnt Alonso overtake Heidfeld?

Why was Kubica so much slower that Heidfeld?

and soooo many more...

Anyway, pretty uneventful like Sepang, im blaming the track. Im not a fan, no personality and who builts a track int he desert? Once again its a three week wait till the next round. Why they chose to do it this way we'll never know

i thought it wasn't too boring. Coulthard did well, both redbull's showing some speed and Heidfeld passing Alonso round the outside. that was a good move. hopefully things might spice up a bit when they return to Europe....

hahaha, why on earth would you install vista? lol

anyway, I thought it was a good race. shame that DC and webber both had car failure and damn was webber talking straight for once. he sounded massively pissed.

Really enjoyed last nights race. It wa actuallky a good race through the whole field.

Webber didnt sound happy...but was not happy to hear him be so short. Coulthard was very upbeat " We’re going through some growing pains at the moment, but we will get through it and we’ll be stronger on the other side, everyone’s working very hard back in the factory.”

Webber just sounded negative ;)

Glass houses though....it is becomg pretty clear to me that Webber cant pass to save his life. Good qualifier, races hard to defend his position, but seems to hesitant when following slower cars. Good thing he qualifies well as i dont htink he could race well from the back of the grid.

its actually 4 weeks.. :)

Lewis Hamilton is a freak of nature...has anyone noticed that? Hes polite, well spoken, diplomatic and hes got the skills to put world champions in the shade in only his 3rd race. He drives as though f1

im going to go out on a limb and bet he will win the next race. He shouldve won Barain if it werent for a tyre choice screw up by McLaren.

The boys a natural born champion.

Pitpass.com has a really good story about him and his dad

Like father like son

And i dont think he would have beaten Massa regarless of what tyre stratagy Mclaren came up with. Ferraris last test before the season opener showed how awesomely quick they were here on long runs, so i think he exceeded his damage limitation rather than lost the win

Who was it that said Kimi would run light in the first stint? hehe

And Hamilton was quicker, but again Massa went longer, which shows that he was quicker in qualifying with more fuel....

Good race, I watched it at 6am after work after being up for 32hours, and I wasn't disappointed :nyaanyaa:

The 4 week wait sucks harder than Honda too....

Anyone else find the battle between Barichello and Schumacher for next to last place rather amusing......there is $600 million well spent :lol:

Renault really does have rubbish drivers, maybe excuses can be made for Heikki as he hasn't raced for a long time but Giancarlo is just rubbish really.

Webber has every right to be pissed, he drags the car up the grid only to be let down in the race......although you have to ask questions about his race pace.....good to see Coulthard back on form.

What was with Alonso?

I think he just dropped the ball on car setup, happens to the best

Why was Kimi so slow in the last stint?

Don't think the Ferrari liked the hard tyres, Massa wasn't real quick either.

How was Hamilton faster on the harder tyres?

Well as Martin said.....the track rubbers up a lot but even so you would expect fastest lap to be set on soft rubber?!!?!?!

Why couldnt Alonso overtake Heidfeld?

See question 1. Heidfelds move on Alonso was simply awesome!!

Why was Kubica so much slower that Heidfeld?

Experience, car setup??? Hiedfeld seems in inspired form.

    • Done about 5k Km on the PS5's now, excellent street tyres, great in the dry, and the wet, seem to be wearing very well, I haven't measured tread depth, but it looks like minimal wear, I also had a different alignment done about 1500km ago,  From looking at the tread wear, which is really only minimal, the alignment changes were based off how the tread looked, and how it felt throwing it around, the changes have shown great results 215/45 17 at 32 psi Front Caster: 5.5° Camber: -1.5° Toe: 0.0mm Rear Camber: -1.0° Total Toe-in: 1.5mm I actually prefer PS5's now over the RS4's, as the PS5's are much better in the wet IMO, and as the MX5 gets driven in all weather conditions doing daily duties, hwy trips, and blasts in the mountains, wet weather grip is high on my priority list
    • To update this thread. I got sent a replacement Attesa pro unit and all is now working as expected. Cheers
    • FD is so sexy she can pull off tri-spokes
    • Indeed they do. Best my diff builder could tell is it's a combination of the different cut/angle and it would seem they lap them in well on accell but less so on decel. He had to use a slightly different pattern to the lap to get the best result noise wise. Also as the rear diff runs in, the whine is getting less.        Overall they seem like a good thing so far. He's done a few neat crown/pinion before but all for race cars with loud everything, in most cases the exhaust is louder, so I am the first to notice.... and be somewhat of a pain   
    • What do you mean by "test"? It sounds like you're just switching things on and off that you already know don't work. Get the wiring diagram and a multimeter and start looking for power where there is supposed to be power and earth where there is supposed to be earth. Look for continuity across switches that are otherwise unresponsive, etc etc.
