I've never been a Webber fan for many reasons and I'll stick my neck out this early in the season and say that Vettel will score more WDC points than Webber this year.

Most people see the year going the same way as you. I dont doubt its possible, but i think Webber will be in there confirming his potential and the belief some people have in him. IF Vettel is quicker Webber will lift. Question is if Vettel is quicker can Webber lift enough to go lap for lap with him over a race?

I dont think you are really sticking your neck out, i think i am the one sticking my neck out stating that Webber will have his measure this year. :) Either way it will be great to get a good measure of how good Webber actually is, wanting to know is what is important to me. Doesnt matter if he is justa good driver or one of the top few.

LOL, look at Button, a decent car under him and all of a sudden he is looking like a World Champion ;) LOL, Alonso should have jumped ship and chased the money and the best car on the grid :down:

I'm with you troy. webber is as good as any of these clowns, and I reckon he'll have a few surprises for vets. sure the young fella is quick, but I too reckon webber will have his measure this year. webber has punished some highly fancied team mates, vettel has not really had that challenge yet in F1.

Webs and Vettel close again in practice. Webs just pipping him. So good to see the two drivers going withing hundredths of a second of one another. Hopefully they go aggressive in qualifying and go low fuel, enough for only 6 or 7 laps with the soft tyre. Try and lead off the front, grab the harder tyre which is more consitant and punch out laps in free air and do two longer stints on the harder tyres.

You read it here first, thats the only strategy that will see them with any chance of catching a podium. The Brawns got twice as much life out of the soft tyre then the other teams. :blink:

Nah, Brawn still have a clear pace advantage, did you see how mnay laps they were able to get out of the soft tyre> And how they were quick over all the laps with no decay in lap times wen on them? :blink:

The are clearly superior and now that there cars are deemed legal they probably wont be foxing so much

What would make sense on the soft tyre???

6-7 laps, real light first stint on the super softs.. Followed by one long or two shorter stints on the medium compound.. Followed by another 5-6 lap sprint on the super softs once again...

Seriously, can at least ONE TEAM do something unconventional for once???

I'm thinking Ferrari 3 stopping in Hugary 1998, Ferrari 3 stopping in Brazil 2000, and Schumacher's/Brawn's brilliant 4 stopper in France 2004...

Full wets on a dry track is pretty f**king unconventional, and stupid!! Ferrari are plucking ideas out of a hat, gone are the Schumacher/Brawn supremacy days.

Soft tyres on a green track is a bad idea, a short first stint puts you back into the pack and then you get slowed down. You are better off running longer on hard tyres then doing a splash 'n' dash on the soft tyres at the end.

If you can short fuel and qualify up top and romp away from the pack for about 10-12 laps then maybe, but not many cars can make super softs work that long. I guess even if you do end up behind other cars it's slightly easier to overtake now than previously. Be interesting to see the KERS cars on the long straights.

Depends where you qualify. If you havea quick car and stuck in traffic then you are losing tenths of not seconds each lap. Throw a light fuel load in, soft tyres and have a go at getting on the front two rows and getting a stormer of a start and try to do a bit of a dash.

If you pit 7 laps into the race you are going to come out at the tail of the field with no traffic to hold you up meaning you can punch out laps as quick as tyre conservation will allow. IF you come up on a car then they will be back markers so easier to pass, and the cars ahead will be peeling off ahead of you. Then at the end of the race your car will be at its quickest and ready to race while everybody else will be carrying a wounded car on shit tyres.

Trust me, i am the supreme son of rajab of strategy :stupid:

    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
    • Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
    • Brand was ard.   I also threw a brand new battery at it and beefed up the wire from the alternator to battery and added an extra earthing point from the battery 
    • Evening all,       I'm replacing some bolts on my RB25 with probolt Australia bolts.       Does anyone know the following, m5 m6 etc 10mm 20mm etc       Coil cover   Cam covers   Plazamaman fuel rail   Front cover (timing cover)   Etc   Any help would be awesome   Or any lists anywhere
