So this year could be Montoya's last realistic chance to be F1 world champion. He's already comitted to McLarren for 2005-6 and going on current performance, he's got no chance at all with them. He could just fade away at a lesser team and never drive for a top team again.

Webber on the other hand - all the talk seems to be not about if he's going to win the championship, but who he's going to win it for!

In 10 years time... Montoya who??

Montoya is a driver who just goes out there and drives the wheels off the car not knowing much about the car and pulls some awesome stunts in the cars.

Webber on the other hand might not be so outrages in the car but consistant and slowly progressin, but personally i dunno if he will win a F1 Championship.

:D

Youre basing McLarens performance on one race! haha........ if you want to do that then Michael or Rubens have already won in 04! In which case Montoya has no chance this year also :) Realisticly Williams Renault and McLaren will catch up to Ferrari this year maybe not in maylasia but surely when they head back to Europe. Remember Melbourne 98 McLaren also lapped the whole field winning by over a minute Ferrari caught up and challenged for the championship and only just lost. And on Webber he has a good of a chance as Montoya of winning a championship. hes a smart and fast driver which is what Schummy is all about!! Also Montoya at Mac will have to deal with Kimi :) who is a faster driver.

hahaha. It may seem as though everyone in oz is talking up Webber a bit much but reading overseas websites and also hearing from aussies overseas the guy is touted as a future superstar even overseas. I even saw an interview where MS was asked if he was worried about the up and comers montoya,alonso and kimi he said " you forgot one; Webber"

I remember seeing an interview about Senna many years ago. The guys they interviewed said, senna was the sort of racer that hated loosing full stop "especially to prost". If he wasn't going to win a race, he'd either try to run first place off the road, or retire himself out of the race. Montoya sort of reminds me alot of Senna, he's driving style is agressive, and he sooks if he loses. Though not my favourite of drivers, as long as Montoya's racing makes for good viewing.

I agree, Its only australian media that make it out that hes the next world champion. There are shitloads better drivers then him, namely Alonso!

Also Montoya is a good driver, but stupid. Mick said it perfectly after the race. He makes one stupid move, and his race is over. Hes done it over and over again. Dont forget guys Montoya has only ever won 1 race. Hes not that good.

Death Race 2000 - clearly the best car movie of all time. I've got it on DVD. The best scene is when David Carradine beats the crap out of Sylvester Stallone. Oh man, I'm going straight home and watching it for the 57th time tonight!

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
