well its good to finally see the prancing horse back in the mix for me....bit biased but thats what you get for being a ferrari fan :D

ohh rhys i am looking forward to seeing the Ferrari cars on the open circuits as well mate....IMO i think that they might be able to do a bit better then Monaco.....and there are talks about Alonso moving to Ferrari for next season....if that does happen then i wonder who will be making way for him Kimi or Massa ummm

dont think that the rear diffuser is doing much for the RBR cars rhys......but i have grown a liking to both the drivers of the Ferrari team so regardless who goes they will be sadly missed....but Alonso will be a welcome sight as i love his work...very hussle bussle driver so makes sense he needs to be in a RED car lol......the rampaging bull

each to there own but im pretty confident its only going to be a plus for the team, they have been outclassing the likes of ferrari/mclaren/bmw etc etc on a regular occurance without them, so fingers crossed it will bring em closer to brawn.

alonso and kimi in ferrari would be win, i might even consider dropping my dislike for the team as i like both of them lol

Agreed!! Ferrari really ARN'T back at all are they! 45 seconds off of a slowing Button's lead at the finish for Massa and Kimi?????? Good work for Webber and Co though, Sebastian really should've won that race it was setup for him, pity they still can't follow closly behind each other though through corners, think they need to relook at that part of the car, think they need to look at America and the IRL and previous indycars style of aerodynamics, less reliance on wings and more on underbody style downforce.

Bring on silverstone for possibly the last time????

Was a very good race....even though Ferrari didnt really put up a show.....but what about team orders indirectly lol....."save your engine sebastian...webber is faster" umm how was webber faster when Vetel was catching him about almost a second a lap.....but anyway

go read the race report krishy, i think you will find your a tad off :thumbsup:

both drivers got told to slow down, rising temps on both drivers motors and the only way he would have got pass was an incident. and vettel already has 4 blown motors for the season. it was a simple matter of saving and taking the easy points.

loving this season! ferrari whoooo???

I heavily doubt that report but then again i cant make that call without solid evidence......i was watching the race and there was no mention to Webber about the condition of this engine but i did hear the Vetel radio and being told to SAVE the engine....in other words dont race webber to the finish

read below:

Q: You were asked late in the race by your team not to pass Mark. Your thoughts on that?

SV: They did not tell me not to pass Mark. They just said ‘Mark is faster.’ Similar to what he did we just turned the engine down and just drove the car home. I mean if you start from pole you want to win. If you lose the lead already in the first lap it is not so good and you just see that someone has much quicker pace. It is not that nice to see and obviously then we lost because of the strategy the position to Mark, so in the end I was third. Of course I wasn’t that happy with that and just kept pushing to the end. Obviously both of us turned the engines down but still I would rather go fast the last couple of laps and enjoy rather than just going around without any sense.

Q: Mark, similarly how were the tyres at the end as you were being gained on by Sebastian?

MW: We knew that there was no point of us two smashing into each other with five laps to go, so we just brought the cars home really. Jenson was down the road, so it was a stalemate. We had everyone else covered, so it was a great day for the team to get second and third. We expected to be closer to the Brawns but we got caned fair and square today, so this is a deserving result. I also enjoyed the race today. The track was quite good to drive as Jenson said it rubbered up and it was pretty enjoyable to drive. It would have been nice if there was one less car in the race but he was there. In the end I was happy with how I drove.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By Milkmun · Posted

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.

      Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.

      It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.
