This probably should have happened years ago, not that his dad has done a bad job (that I can tell) but F1 is several orders of magnitude bigger than anything else.

Is there any particular reason for ragging on Martin Brundle? Has he done a bad job previously? Bear in mind that his record as a driver has nothing to do with his skills (or lack of) as a manager.

I don't particularly care who manages a driver, unless they have a conflict of interest in managing a team as well (are you listening Flavio? Of course not). Hakkinen, though ... I'm not sure. I think he could do better. I don't recall him being noted for his media skills, one of the key skills for a manager (liaising with the media). The 2MB guys are much better at that (are they still together?).

Having Brundle commentate and manage a driver is like Eddie Macquire calling Collingwood games, there is already an established bias, whether intended or not... I'm not saying Brundle is a bad manager, in fact I bet he would be rather good, but to do so whilst he is commentating does tarnish his ability to be totally partial..

Perhaps, although bear in mind Brundle's role in the telecast, he's there as the technical expert and ex-driver, so he's there more to fill in the gaps from the other guy (I forget his name) than to give his opinion. At least that's the theory. I do agree, though, that when it comes to the media, you shouldn't play both sides of the street.

HRT also stands for Hormone Replacement Therapy ... wouldn't want to be a woman working for that team. Or a girly man.

Will the bigger fuel tanks/loads be to the advantage of the larger drivers?

Could be, the driver weight difference will be a smaller percentage of the overall car weight so will affect the car's performance less. I don't think it makes a lot of difference anyway, they all bring the cars up to the minimum weight with ballast anyway. The only difference is the lighter drivers have more options re: placement of ballast.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
