Well he whinged about it being wrong two years in a row. They changed it from one year to the next.

Make of that what you will.

Anyway here is hoping his nephew gets a drive for next year.

As an aside the Prost in the A1 GP's for the French team is a relation of Alain?

No way i want to see Senna in F1 next year. Get back to the days where if you win a Jr series then you test for a season or two. Good on Renault for giving Piquet another season, but if Bourdais, Rubens etc get dumped because young upstarts with a fancy name get a drive then ... meh. its F1 so i should be used to politics ruling surpreme.

If Bourdais gets binned for Sato then i will be annoyed with STR. Sato isnt as bad as people make out, but no way he is the same cilibre as Bourdais and has had his chance with plenty of teams. For Bourdais to get dumped for hm wudl be a joke !

Hamilton at least won GP2. His inexperience threw away a WDC in his rookie year....and he is a the freak of the group that have graduated to F1. Glocks performance this year is really all you can ask for a GP2 graduate. I thnk he has donea good job this year. He is far more experienced then any of this years GP2 pretenders. Pantano at least hads years of racing experience in GP2, F1, etc.

All the hot names Grosjean , Buemi etc all have talent, but no way they are ready a seat in F1, especially at the price of the likes of Bourdais and Rubens. Hell Button catn even beat Rubens....so .

I don't want to be taken out of context, I've always stated that I've considered Louise to be extremely gifted and very quick! However, it is him temperament that lost him last years championship and it again very nearly cost him the 09 title.. I couldn't see Timo making the same sort of errors... Timo may not have the blistering pace of Louise, but if I had to pick a bloke to bring the car home on the podium for the most races possible in a season, I'd pick Glock over Lewis. Maybe I consider temperament and attitude slightly more important than just out-and-out speed with a rubbish personality.

btw..

Crikey!! The Webbo has been in an accident!!! :)

BREAKING NEWS: FORMULA One ace Mark Webber has had a head-on collision with a car while riding a motorbike in Tasmania.

The Sunday Herald Sun has learned that at 12.30pm Webber, who drives for Red Bull Racing, collided with the car while riding south towards Port Arthur on the remote Tasmanian Peninsula.

Webber was competing in his own charity event, the Mark Webber Pure Tasmania Challenge.

Search and rescue police officer Damian Bidgood said Webber appeared to have a serious lower leg injury.

“Unfortunately he’s had a head-on,’’ Sgt Bidgood said.

“It will put him out of action for a while.’’

Rescuers are transporting Webber by road ambulance to a property known as Oakwood, just north of the site made infamous by gunman Martin Bryant during the 1996 Port Arthur massacre, Seascape.

A rescue helicopter is waiting on the oval at Port Arthur, just near the ruins of the historic convict site, waiting to fly to Oakwood to collect Webber.

He will then be flown to the Domain in Hobart and taken to hospital.

Oh, "AND DON'T CALL ME GUY!.... FRIEND!.."

f**king webber. poor guy. I fear all his broken bones will hurt his pace next year, and that will allow vettel to outdrive him, and will only add fuel to the argument that webber's day is done. god I hope i'm wrong...

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
