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 :)

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
