Well Williams Renault has a certain ring to it.

As does Lotus - Renault. In black. With some bloke called Senna driving.

Your Polish mate in the Renault is doing alot better than almost everyone thought this year. His team mate doesn't suck teh balls to anywhere near the extent I thought he would, come to that.

Bring back McConville I say. The yocals bore me to tears. The Brits are their usual one eyed selves. Still it is better than Murray Walker when Mansell was around.

yep, agree my polish bro is doing well. he is still about as appealing to look at as a donkeys arse crack but man he can drive. definitely punching above his weight at the moment.

you're right too petrov is not as shit as I thought he would be. doing a reasonable job of it so far.

All this BS of trying to break the tow? Come on. Drafting is part of motorsport, and is really the first principle for getting close enough to a car to get a tow, pull out and get the job done under brakes.

Even the FIA for a long time have written:

2. Overtaking, car control and track limits

b) Overtaking, according to the circumstances, may be carried out on either the right or the left.

However, manoeuvres liable to hinder other drivers, such more than one change of direction to defend a position, deliberate crowding of a car beyond the edge of the track or any other abnormal change of direction, are strictly prohibited.

Seems pretty clear to me that what Hamo did was as stupid and amatuerish as something i would do at the local go-kart track. The guy is more and more looking to be a great talent, but at the minute I would have to say the likes of Vettel and Kubica are maturing quicker then him, though they have not had the car and success that Hamo has.

A warning was the correct ruling, but frankly, he robbed us of another couple of fun racing laps. Remember Malaysia last year, Hamo and Webber? That was great racing and entertainment as they for 2-3 laps got past one another only for counter attacks to once again relegate them after compromised exits etc. Hamo just couldnt handle his amazing progress to that point being interruped by a rookie in a Renault so threw his dummy out the car and drove like a child.

LOL, above is harsh but generally true. Hamo is nowhere near as annoying as he used to be, but these sorts of things are the reason why i remember why i am not a fan

Come on Troy - how many times have you seen that happen & go unpunished? It is Webber's stock move most of the time & the rest of the field for that matter.

yeah, couldn't even count the amount of times I've seen a defending driver squeeze someone trying to pass on a corner to the edge of the track from the apex

Thats a tougher one. With visibility what it is i think you have to give a little slack on the first lap until people work out who is where. But agree, it happens more often...but i dont think Webber and Kimi at Brazil is an example. Webber was moving over to the inside line and Kimi thought he would keep going to try and kers through to make a gap.

Funny, the most recent examples of crowding is Hamo at Monza in the wet in 2008. I am sure it has happened dozens of times between then and now and my bias has me remembering those incidents. But that was the more deliberate and intenational examples.

whatever happened to these sub 2 second pit stops red bull were claiming? they're no faster than anybody else

so why make the claim in the first place?

Maybe if they got Kimi in there for 2011, and return the fun to the team, they might turn back into 'that team' with the great parties and so and so. Their current duo dont seem to make everybody laugh and divide opinion like the iceman did.

I will be real curious to see if RBR are interested in Kimi. Webber would have to be mindful of not having a contract for next year in 2010s best car (so far)

I think Kimi is phenomenal, but i think he has hurt himself as he is more the pre 90s F1 driver. Living the good life, getting paid serious bank and only really drives the car. He isnt the " i will be oint eh factory for the 10days between GPs working with engineers type. It will be interesting to see if RBR are happy with Vettel developing the thing and then Kimi and Vettel racing them!?!??!

Every team is due for a bad car every few seasons, but whilst Kimi drove the wheels off a shitty Ferrari last year, i cant help but blame the fact for it being shitty in the first place on poor feedback from Kimi and Massa through 2008 and in testing 2009

lol, didn't take kimi long to fk years of punishing fitness regimes at the hands of his F1 masters. god I love him. he'd be even more likeable as a fat kunt.

I will spit chips if he takes webber seat though. I don't think it will happen but anything's possible.

yes the claim does seem a bit silly but I believe what they meant was actually changing the tyres takes less than 3 seconds - ie the car is already up on jacks it's purely the remove/refit operation.

As bad as that Buemi crash was..... did anyone else find it a little bit funny that he was trying to steer without any front wheels? lulz.

What a massive failure in the front end though! Very lucky that he wasnt injured. Just heard on fox news that Buemi says the crash was 'nothing serious'.... Lol WTF?

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

      George's R33 GTST build

      By pogman · Posted

      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.

      Hello Everyone

      By Triple OG · Posted

      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)
