From Grand Prix Week

Our spies in the Red Bull

motorhome tell us that despite

informing the world at large that

he wasn’t disappointed with P3 in

qualifying, Sebastian Vettel may

have been in tears after the press

conference ...

Oh what I'd do to see vid of that!

Gotta feel for Pirelli too. Wouldn't be surprised if they're eager to get out of F1 as soon as the contract period is up, given the fact they've been told to make a tire that basically falls apart in order to make racing interesting, and are copping a bad name for it, whereas Bridgestone had gotten to a point where you could pretty much drive an entire race on one set of tires, and only need to change to satisfy the rules...

Gotta love back to back GP's

Hell yeah :D

I am hoping SV isn't on the pace again. He was a bit irritable after Silverstone, this weekend did nothing for his ego so a third weekend will have the little violins cranking.

The Fez might be a very good chance of getting away with a silver dinner plate this week.

Is it just me or would anyone else like to see the balance of the option and prime tyres tweaked so that it is feasible to run the harder tyre for more time without losing bucketloads of time? I would like to see the leading drivers on different strategies.

I agree, either the option's shouldn't last as long forcing another pit stop or the prime's should be quicker and be extremely consistent over the race distance (be a good way for Pirelli to show what they can do too). Well, at least that I think was the intended outcome. As it is now, usually there's just a phase of the race where each driver takes a time penalty.

how bout the mid 80's with the goodyears that the drivers never really knew if they lasted a race but went flat out regardless (adelaide 86) was a classic example. there used to be a blow out atleast once a race, and made for close racing (amongst other things) how about re-treads J/K imagine the technology that would go into making them and have the carcass come apart at any time??

It wouldn't surprise me. he really is a massive sook.

agreed. nothing warms the cockles of my heart like little sebastian having a sook. he is pretty fragile. god imagine if he'd had to spend years driving minardi, jaguar and williams at their low point? he'd have slit his wrists long ago.

1 more race off the podium and he'll be downright miserable.

+2 boy hasn't paid his dues.

Should be interesting:http://www.formula1....11/7/12363.html

'HRT driver Vitantonio Liuzzi will try his hand at Australia's famous V8 Supercar series later this year when he takes part in the Armor All Gold Coast 600'

'The other drivers in the field with F1 pedigree are Mika Salo, Jan Magnussen, Sebastian Bourdais, Christian Klien, Gianni Morbidelli and Stephane Sarrazin'

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • 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.
