That's kind of how I read it too.

I'm thinking that the only team orders will be race til near the end then see where everyone is in the running order, make a call from there.

Anyone of them could bin it on the first corner, and as was mentioned, Mark has been starting pretty poorly.

This is what'll happen:

Same front grid as last week minus the Hulk-

Seb's brake rotors explode,

Mark trips over his own feet somewhere along the way,

Gonzo's engine says "smell ya later"

Lewis inherits 1st, gets second drivers title :(

But all that could just be a whole heap of unrealistically wishful thinking on my part...

Well, I cant really remember last Abu Dhabi race. McLaren and Hamilton were strong with KERS, but cant recall Ferrari being in the hunt....but this years Ferrari is a far better car...so not sure who this track will suit. I expect it to be more of a Ferrari track with the long straights and slow speed corners rather then an RBR track...so at first glance I think RBR will be figthing like hell to park both on the front row. Mark needs to find that little edge he had mid season

since I'm up on f1 bets this year, i'm thinking of throwing caution to the wind and making one crazy last punt;

say $30 on Hamo to take the WDC, for a $2000+ return?

It will either be an eopic Sunday night or one that BLOWS! No middle ground for me...and frankly RBR can bite my ass....

agree with both sentiments there buddy. either naked through the city with mark webber is #1 across my back in body paint, or sitting at home crying and punching my tv whilst my RBR cap is on fire... and yes farking RBR, they really should have let webber take brazil, those 7 points would make this weekend a much better proposition and would even them up for ferrari's dodgy-ness.

COME ON WEBBER OLD SON!!! YOU CAN DO IT MATE!!! :blush:

COME ON WEBBER OLD SON!!! YOU CAN DO IT MATE!!! :blush:

Good sentiment.

Unfortunately I reckon the finishing order will be:

The Tool.

The gimp in the cheaterer Ferrari.

All that is good & noble in F1 ie Webber.

Someone down the back behind the try hard midfielders, ie past where everyone stops caring: Hamilton.

Webebr has to qualify P1 & make a decent start. Not much hope there then. But fk it I will even promise to use the Yellow Pages again if he can pull it off.

hey, he has taken P1 in qualy before against these blokes and won before too. hell he won his first race even with a drive through if my memory is correct.

he is the master at overcoming adversity. hell by rights he is too big to even fit into an F1 car yet here he is!

GO WEBBER!!!

In some respects winning the race will do just as much for his legacy as winning the championship would.

I mean for a Ferrari fan I can't really articulate JUST how much I'm wanting Webber to win, I remember being at Melbourne to see him bag 2 points in the shitty Minardi back in 2002.. For his sake, for the sake of motorsport in this country & the much needed boost, I'm also off to the first annual Festival of Speed here in Perth, and it would be just fantastic to see Webber punt that RBR around as a world champ! Also I agree with the legacy bit, Webber is highly regarded for his mental toughness and his ability to overcome, I hope it doesn't abandon him now. However, and an almighty however.... A small part of my brain keeps telling me Mark is going to regret that spin in Korea for the rest of his life, I hope I'm wrong... Think though, imagine if he even scored 2/3/4 points on that day...

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
