oh, and yeah Webber did a good time in Q3, no doubt- but lets not forget the situation would have been completely different had McLaren and Ferrari not utterly rooted their chances by starting too late in Q1 due to expecting the weather too improve rather than get worse. fail of epicness

Can't even get my head around how they f**k something up so bad. I'm sure they were relying on their weather guys/data, but I see no reason not to get a banker lap in early when you know you're in a monsoon prone area.

too fkn right; at least go out and set a time on some tyres that suit the track as is, just in case and then come back in if you like

I really hope key team decision makers have absorbed a decent lesson from this bullshit

They made RBR look like space cadets today. Never fear, they will get their act together tomorrow just in time to bag more points then RBR and watch Nico get his first win. Remember he was doing well last year at Malaysia before the weather card was played

EAT MY SHIT!!!!

Top call by Webz to go to the inters and blitz them :down:

Get a strong podium tomorrow, maybe a win and his championship starts this weekend with McLaren and Ferrari all the way at the back

How long do you think it will take the haters to blame Webber's time on everything except his driving talent? He judged the conditions better than everyone else and smashed them accordingly. Did anyone else have the balls to go out on inters in that last session? If they did they couldn't cope with them as well as Webber.

I'm sick of everyone saying he's hopeless, he's got no chance. He's a bloody good driver with a bloody good car and he's got a bloody good chance of winning tomorrow.

Carn Webber! Have a go and show 'em how Aussies can drive!

what a fkn joke it is running this at 4pm

half points again tomorrow? bet everybody will love that bullshit again

You'd think that if tomorrow is a repeat of last year even Bernie will twig that a twilight race during the wet season is a bad idea. Having said that the F1 regime has not always been noted for sensible solutions to obvious problems ...

Read a good point somewhere else- Put this race next to the one in Singapore, and then there's much less chance of torrential rain and the teams save on transport costs

Borrowed from elsewhere,

weatherman - "no rain for this session"

whitmarsh - "its canning it down, ive just walked over to the pitwall and got drenched"

weatherman - "negative, martin, no rain this session, repeat no rain this session"

whitmarsh - "ok roger that weatherman, localised rain in the pitlane, dry track this session"

weatherman - "satellite says no rain this session, raincloud must be localised to above lewis 'face like thunder' hamilton"

whitmarsh - "copy that, continue with dry strategy"

Also, Webber and Rosberg went out after the Ferrari and McLaren teams in Q3, but still got through, so it wasn't the weather that did them in.

Speaking of torrential down pours and Singapore, i was just woken up way early and a massive storm and rain is BLOWING through here at the moment. Its noisy as hell as stuff gets blown off the roof of my condo and the rain is hammering down

Webber did a sublime effort in Quali! I really hope he can bring it home. Would give a couple big middle fingers to the Australian media for ousting him after his "Nanny State" comments.

As for Ferrari and McLaren, WTF? Button could have made something of it, but beached himself :devil:

x2. i think we will see some very spirited driving from the back of the field, guaranteed that we will have ferraris and mclaren in the top ten at the end of the race. hope its not a premature end though.

hope rosberg doesnt get over zealous into turn 1. Good to see if Mark can get out in front, the team make the correct decisions and the rest will be up to him....no excuses.

I'm all for a bit of rain to keep things lively at the 'Pang, but i really hope the race doesn't get stopped before full distance :devil:

Why not, i am reading on other forums that Webber is dirty and the chop king. I think since the King has returned he needs to remind kiddies what the chop is....and its not the meandering accross the road that is Webber

Also, just read an interesting stat...showing how it was more the McLaren and Ferrari drivers who farked up, well at least more then the teams

Q1 start times for the top four teams:

Code:

Vettel: 16:03.16

Button: 16:08.35

Schumacher: 16:08.48

Hamilton: 16:08.54

Alonso: 16:09.04

Massa: 16.09.30

Webber: 16:09.35

Rosberg: 16:09.46

Who ended up on the front row and who were the last cars to go out in the wet of Q1? :devil:

    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • 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)
