Read an interesting interview wth Newey the other day and the development on the RB6. He said that Vettel and Webber both played a big role in developing the car and that Webz was particulary in tune with the aero development and the impact of wind on the car. At the time it made me think about how Webber almost got pole in 2008 and ended up 2nd on the grid. It was a very windy day and came from nowhere to put it on the front row.

Yesterday, again it was windy with so many cars having issues and going off due to the wind at Maggotts and Becketts corner....and again Webber was clear with 0.3sec up his sleeve. I wonder if for whatever reason Mark handles the instability of varyign effects of wind on the car better then some other drivers????

Webber for pole beating the sour kraut by 6 hundredths.

And this is with Vettel's old chassis, Luscious Liz, the one that supposedly has 'something wrong' with it, right?

Interesting insight Roy

I believe the RB's will be tough to beat with Capt Chin taking the

silverware, I'matool will throw it into the weeds hard, or complain that MW gets special

treatment as the team fixed his "hack" chassis.

Louise and Jenson to fight for fourth and fifth.

Alfalfa will grab 2nd

And just for Sh@un;

The Baron to grab 3rd

COME ON SCHUMI!!!!!!!!!

Well I like Webz but I am as practical and realistic as they come. Most weekends I know Webber is a chance but normally expect Vettel to out qualify Webber. I think with the mistakes that everybody is making this weekend , i suspect Webber after the disaster of last race will pull together this weekend, starting with a pole in 25 minutes time.

...but , please, please anything but Vetool giving us the backwards "finger", Hopefully messes up and ends up back in teh pack and the Ferraris and Williams get up into the Top 6

    • I once hit my knee on an exhaust on my sisters Suzuki Sierra after she drove it her *normal* way. My knee looked like porridge for weeks. Bec and my daughters never go near this car. I can see one of my dogs losing an ear though. 🤔
    • Nice, love a good GTS-t.  IMHO the factory body kit with the 'aero' front bumper is perfect. Can't improve on it unless it's a GT-R. But it looks like you changed it to the normal bumper?
    • Easy solution to both of those. Put a split bit of garden hose on each one. Attractive and practical!
    • So I guess the next thing to do will be to discuss whether to create a new section of the forums to hold the library (boo hiss?), somewhat undoing the recent tidy up, or if there is a bolt on wiki module for Invision? (I must profess ignorance as to what has been done, what it might cost, etc. I have only briefly googled and seen discussion on adding it.) Or is a wiki even the best way to do what I'm talking about? It possibly isn't. Given that we're trying to re-display forum content, it probably needs to be presented as forum content in forum format, and a wiki would probably struggle with that. A wiki might still be the best way to do some other things, so I'll keep the idea simmering if we don't use it here. Back to the library as "part of the forums". Would we do a single new library? Or put a library thread in each section? Pluses and minuses for each of these, surely. Would we do as I originally suggested, and make the first post in the library be the total of the library, with any reply posts just being the inputs and suggestions I originally posited? Or would we allow posts to accumulate one after the other, each containing additions to the library? Maybe the first post is still an index or something. It's all sounding horribly more manual and messy than my original brain fart. But I hope there's some other good ideas floating around - because every time I come up with a new one of my own I immediately see problems with it.  
    • Tips look fine to me......but Boring stuff: Legalities - Vehicle standards notes that exhausts cannot extend to a point where they could cause injury Scary stuff: Mrs cuts open her shin putting stuff in the boot (ensure you have some bandaids and shiny jewellery handy)
