Oh lawd

My response:

Bahhahahahaha

I love your passion!

Her:

well its true, why would you not help out your driver that is more likely to win the championship? cause his old and they dont think he promotes the drink well enough?

well its not about the drink its about the racing......

bahahaha

Interesting point made in the story. Earlier this year at Silverstone they said if a tough decision had to be made then whoever is leading the championship would get the nod. Seems thats not the case anymore. I still think Mark can get the job done. This weekend you expect Ferrari and McLaren to be strong so Mark really needs to keep his front row form going and hope its the McLarens up there with him...or better yet Vettel try it on with Hamo on the first lap...with Hamo now with nothing to lose

Well if my theory that Webber is best in variable grip levels, where he is as good as anyone in the wet, but better then most as it starts to rain or as its drying out....then perhaps the slick, dusty and oil surface in Korea will help him where he does feel the car under him in slick conditions better then many.

Come on Mark, hope his speed in P2 carries through to the rest of the weekend

I dont get it...why with 3 GPs to go would Horner be coming out and saying this tripe ... http://en.espnf1.com/redbull/motorsport/story/31746.html ?

I think Webber is tough enough to not be concerned and get on with the job...but in a sport where inches matter and confidence / psychology are important why tip the scales????

Come on MARK! Love to see the Mclarens give Seb a chop...need to keep Massa away from the RBRs as Massa will be ruthless when racing the two RBRs

As much as I think Webber is a bit bone-headed at times, he has improved this season (aside from using Kovaleinen as a launching ramp at Valencia). If he's ever going to snatch a WDC it'll be this year and I'd like to see him do that then retire and tell Horner to stick the constructors trophy up his arse. The team have not done the right thing by him and he's still leading.

Vettel is the up and comer and needs his ego stroked - no surprises there. He is a great driver but he is still too young and petulant to deserve a WDC. Lewis just missed out on his first season and I think it matured him immensely, he came back less of a brat and more of a respectable racer and then he clinched his own title.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
