You can tell Sir Frank is no longer calling the shots over at Williams. He has always prided himself that Williams didnt poach other team's sponsors, rather attracted new businesses to F1. It was the job/challenge of other teams to try and steal Williams sponsors.

Well, in the same week Williams have poached two Lotus sponsors. Lotus going to really struggle with 2015 budget. I hope Coca-Cola/Burn up the stakes and throw an extra 20-30million at them (not going to happen but would be nice to see it up the $$$$ to compete with Monster-Merc and RBR)

To be fair if you were a sponsor the choice between Lotus and Williams at the moment isn't a difficult one. The interesting bit is that Williams beat McLaren to the Unilever money.

But times haven't changed that much - Williams seriously annoyed Canon in the early nineties when they took cigarette money instead of Canon's coin. Not sure which other teams lost out there - too long ago.

The report also says race director Charlie Whiting was correct not to call for a safety car while marshals dealt with Sutil's initial accident.

"The actions taken following Sutil's accident were consistent with the regulations, and their interpretation following 384 incidents in the preceding eight years," the report added.

"Without the benefit of hindsight, there is no apparent reason why the safety car should have been deployed either before or after Sutil's accident."

Bullshit.

I forgot for a second that there are trophies for positions other than 1st, was thinking 'that can't be right, there are far more trophies then races there!'

    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
    • If you really want squish back, you can have it put on the piston (at least to some extent).
    • Impressive. He's very very smooth.
