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.

    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
