This is definitely the most boring year of F1 I've watched, Mercedes dominance aside. Hopefully they can sort it out sooner rather than later

I have posted this a few times, but my English mate who has twice been out for the Aus GP went to school with a McLaren mechanic. One year was 2008 and when I asked about Alonso he said the English media love a one sided story and within the team the crew/wngineers etc loved Alosno and that when it came to the needle between Alonso and the team and between the drivers Lewis had a role to play in escalating tensions.

Nothing was published about Homo being the first to throw a swing and start inner team BS and low and behold all these years later you now start to read how Dennis has said that the Homo played a role in the McLaren-ALonso tensions . Like this sh1t wasnt going on with Rosberg this year.

I am realy hoping Alonso kicks ass at McLaren....not a huge McLaren man nut I have huge amounts of respect for Alosno and want to see the guy racing the Mercs

Want to see Honda do well. Don't care so much about McLaren unless they paint their cars orange again. Have an old MP4-something in orange that Hakkinen used as a test car. Only F1 model I own. Hoping the VTEC is strong.

Will be interesting to see who out of McLaren and Lotus get their sht together first. Atleast McLaren can tap in to the government funds from whichever country half owns them. Lotus not so much and they are starting off a poor base but with a better engine. Will see how it pans out early. Reckon McLaren will have it sorted by years end, however.

I think Lotus's problem isnt ability but was just preparation as they had a pretty tubulent off season and final few months of 2013. Hopefully, even with limited resources the final few months of this season and some stability leaving up to Feb will see them come out with another solid chassis and aero combo and paired with the merc engine will be back to being a team racing for top 5 positions.

The real question is Allison. If Fezz pick up the pieces and Lotus struggle then that will speak volumes about Allison's ability. Personally I think its time for James Kay to take the step up to a team like Lotus as he has doen great things with the minnow teams and be it Sauber, FI or currently STR their fortunes always improve under his guidance.

Lastly, what is happening with Colin Kolles 2015 Forza Rossa Racing? I had assumed it was going to be Caterham re-badged but now seems plausible they grab the Marussia chassis? Or is this another example of FIA/FOM giving entry to a team that isnt going to even bother entering?

With the lack of testing miles available to the young guys these days, I dont feel its fair to paint KMag with that brush

He's done a good enough job to keep his seat, Button had a similar start to his career (with much more experience behind him) while still being outscored by his lacklustre teammate. Time to move on

I do - it's sink or swim. He sunk.

Button would have scored a point in his first F1 race if his engine didn't blow up. But got it in his 2nd race anyway. And that was back when you had to earn your points instead of handing them out like lollies as they do now. Top 6 only scored points. He scored points finishes in 6 out of 9 finishes. I don't think it's that similar, discounting the first race of a whole new era anomoly...

Button took a pay cut to stay at mclaren, the last time this happened he won the world championship.

So sitting here wondering when wevare going to get another French GP

Trying to remember when the last French GP was?

Not surprised Jenson took a pay cut. No idea where the 33 million pounds is coming from. Where are McLaren at with sponsorship. There were rumours of Spanish coin?

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
