LOL, part hunch and part wishful thinking...both RBRs to be in the top 4. I am betting that they have speed to burn and have been running heavy all weekend so as not to show their pace. I suspect they dont want the likes of Ferrari, Brawn etc thinking that RBR have a speed advantage and throwing low fuel in the car to mess with the RBR race strategy.

So when they sprin up in Q2 and Q3 the other teams have less time to do anything about ther pace regarding fuel loads.

certainly brawn have been foxing. if you read the driver quotes from practice 1 & 2 you'd think they were struggling.

big fuel loads and race setup (which is what RBR seemed to be doing) should see them in good stead.

i think Ferrari are a genuine chance of a podium this weekend.

The softer compound tyres are going to be tricky to manage. The performance dropped off on the end of the 2nd sector and into the 3rd sector.

If the Brawns are easy on the tyres as we have seen previously they are a good chance during that phase. Vettel seemed to be quite hard on the tyres last race so he will have his work cut out but he is very very quick.

Top job by Vettel with Button, Barrichello, Webber and Trulli in the first 5 places.

Well as a Webber fan i am again lamenting Webber getting done in quali and left hoping he has more fuel. I was watching on live timing and couldnt tell if Vettel was on softs and what tyres the others are on?

With Trulle and the Fezz behind him Webber better make a cracker of a start, he on the dirty side so will have to watch for Trulli otherise a podium shot could be gone by turn 1.

...and lol Hamo out qualified by Heiki again :)

Pretty sure everyone except Barrichello on softs.

Webber's 2nd sector was pretty slow so i am guessing he understeered somewhere here, maybe he was carrying a higher fuel load than Vettel but Webber was the shizzle in sector 1 so it's more likely that a small mistake cost him 2 tenths.

Webber heavier then thoe ahead of him, if only a tad in front of Button. I hope he an jump at least one of the Brawns! May have to cancel my dinner with local crumpet so i can sink beers watching the race :)

lol !

Does anyone know if these weights include the drivers? Because Webber always seems to be that 6-7kgs heavier than Vettel but rarely does he run all that much longer in the 1st stint so I'm curious if the weight difference we always see is to do with Mark himself rather than just the fuel difference?

Good work Mark with another P2....

Not much else for me to say about the race unfortunately (for me being Ferrari..)

Also great to see there's still plenty of coverage of not only Hamilton lapping with the back markers, but also of his dad fondling himself in the garage...I'd be lost without such coverage.

the sphincter of the universe was one of the more interesting races ive seen for a while, Its kinda sad to say, but it was good watching some of the bigger teams struggle with setup.

Interesting?

It was possibly the most boring GP i've ever watched! :thumbsup:

Yeah well that was a pretty boring race really..... Would have been MUCH more interesting if Button had of spun around into a wall or something lol.

Good result for Webber, and that's 5 out of 7 races he has beaten Vettel now :)

    • find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank. 
    • This one?? In other news: I cannot tell the difference between my red MX5 with the silver grey hard top......... and the Ferrari 599XX EVO, they might as well be twins, well.......apart from the big wang hanging off the back of the Ferrari...🤔🤣, without the wing they are identical

    • I think you'll find we're confused about what you were trying to do and how you were doing it. I would have thought that block rigidity was something you measured while loading the block in beam or in torsion, and that you would do so before and after grout filling, to see if putting material in there created a "composite" construction with the expected rigidity increase. Notwithstanding that the true function of grout is less about gross rigidity than local (ie preventing bore deflection/splitting and tying the bores to the main bearing locations a little better, etc etc). It is nearly impossible to follow your description of what you've done without closing ones eyes and making "aliens" hand shapes in front of oneself to try to follow the manipulations you've made. It's still unclear to me what you were trying to prove.
