Mercedes GP are to contimue supplying engines to the various team upto 2015, but are selling/have sold their 40% share of Mclaren.

Roseberg has hit the jackpot, Heidfeld makes a lucky escape yet again

If button doest get his Mac seat, he's well and truely fcukd

... bye kimi, was great while it lasted

75% share...just on the news here in the UK. Will be interesting who they sign. Talk is it will e be the German superteam of Heidfeld and Rosberg....but if Mercedes want Vettel over Heidfeld i can see them paying lots of money to RBR allowing them to afford Kimi.

How good is it that I find this out via Al-Jazeera.....

Got to love extremists and their die hard attitude for F1

TATA Motors inbound and Button with Louise at Mac-Homo.

I can also see a slide down the grid for Team GB already.

Kimi at RBR with Webber!

Shaun, it isn't called the silly season for nothing.

Heidlfeld part of a German superteam? He is a chance of limping in for some finishes when the cards fall the right way.

Rosberg finally gets his shot which is good for him but without Vettel they are hardly the best German pairing.

I wonder what Haug meant by a few surprises, Can RBR really be interested in Merc engines, enough to swap Vettel and a wad of cash whereby affording Kimi? The more i think about the more i want it to be true! I ddi read that RBR even thought no announcement has been made have continued with the design of next years car around the Renault V8

Absolutely they still need to be designed around an engine. Dont forget the Brawn was one of th emost sensitive on the gri to overheating, i recall two races where they were turning the engine down due to temps and one of those races they hacked away at side pods on race day to get better cooling,

Also, the engine you run influences the gearbox you are most likely going to end up running which means the hydraulics are going to be different etc etc...so you want to get the engine in the back of the car ASAP, especialy in the current era of F2 whn hundredths of a second matter

I aware of that and I'm not insinuating that's it's as simple as just dropping different engines into different chassis', but I think with modern F1 cars where the engine is part of the chassis it's maybe not as difficult as it once was..... Obviously the earlier they have a confirmed chassis/engine combo the easier the deal is for all designers and engineers

top three guys in the top three teams, with red bull the dark horse

Whoever partners hammo will be pretty hard team to stop

Brawn/Mercedes with Roseberg will be a contender for sure

Nando will be like a pitpull off a leash at team jihad after 2 years in the sin bin

Vettel and webber to pick up steady podiums

the 2010 n00bs are in for a tough season. points looks very hard to come by now

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable 
    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
