Interesting, good to see an official explanation on it. Surprised it wasn't kers related

me to, i thought it was a battery fire/ explosion (having seen them explode it the past)

i didn't know that they have air power valves, does anybody know if they are air powered open and closed or if they use a cam to open the valves and then the air to close the valves?

Helmut Marko has revealed that Daniel Ricciardo will most "likely" replace Mark Webber at Red Bull - but it won't be next season.

With Webber on the verge of signing a new one-year contract with Red Bull Racing, Ricciardo, who made his F1 debut with HRT at the British GP, is set for another season with a lower ranked team.

However, the 22-year-old can look forward to a bright future with a Championship-winning outfit as Marko says he'll most likely take Webber's race-seat when the older of the two Aussies calls it quits.

"Mark Webber will stay with us for another year, and then he will decide what to do in his career," crash.net quoted Marko as having told the Italian media.

"Red Bull will decide who takes his place, although it is likely it will be Ricciardo."

yeah buddy

That's what alonso thought of hamilton back in '07, we'll just have to hope by then ricciardo can bring it to vettel. If he's aggressive, and he's a young aussie male so he probably is, he might be enough to push vettel out of his comfort zone.

hards are goooone ferrari must be happy

Having announced that they won't use the hard compounds in the next three races, Pirelli have now confirmed that they are dropping the tyre completely.

Pirelli announced after the Hungarian GP the compounds for the next three races with the medium and soft compounds being used at Spa and Monza and the soft and super softs at Singapore.

The Italian tyre manufacturer's decision raised some eyebrows as it is well known that Ferrari especially struggle to get heat into the hard tyres.

Pirelli, though, were quick to deny favouring the Italian stable but may have to issue another rebuttal after Paul Hembrey confirmed that the hard compound would not be used again this season.

"I don't think we'll see the hard compound again," Pirelli's motorsport boss told Autosport.

"I think it's probably too hard and that the medium is proving sufficiently robust for the aggressive circuits we've still got to come. So don't think we'll be going the hard route."

He added: "Probably next season the medium will become the hard. We'll probably slot something in between the current softs and mediums - We want to keep about one second between each.

"The super soft and soft gap is about right to be honest, because you've got a 1s speed advantage but you've got a clear degradation and limitation on use.

"If we could replicate that now with a new medium and a new hard then I think we'll be well placed."

Hey guys meed some help

Missus is getting me a 4 corner pass for melb 2012,

But the brabham stand (the most exxy package) is where id b sunday, but it doesnt look to be a fantastic spot?

I

Was in piquet stand last yr, (crn 4) and was nice and slow so u could see them.

Where are all u guys sitting and have sat b4? Any tips?

And where did u get ur pit walks from??

brabham is a good stand. inside of T1 so you're almost guaranteed a first lap first corner acco. plus that's usually a good passing spot up the inside of T1, hold it on the outside through T2 then hold that line for the inside of T3 and job done.

yeah the cars come in hot down the straight but T1/T2 is a fairly slow chicane type of thing. you will see plenty.

sounds like a plan!

just fox tickets yeh? ill harass them for the pit walk. hopfully ill get in! did u get an extra ticket for that or anything?? and is it on sunday the pit walk?

thanx guys :)

saw shuey have a fairly quick gravel slide last yr in piquet. good times! should organise to catch up as a group and go for a sniff around the place, plenty to 'see'

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
