P1 commentary

TedK "I do believe those glass Lewis is wearing looking at the computer screen are for fashion only, he's got perfect vision"

AnthonyD "I believe you'll find that's actually a mirror" :-) classic.

Ferrari stooged themselves. Race strategy 101 - If you're covering a car behind you who's already pitted, cover off the same tyre strategy FFS! That way you're not exposed if there's a safety car... That cost them the race. Also could have covered Nico with Kimi at the same time, back the pace off a touch on the out lap to help Seb maintain the lead when he pits. That way they remain 1-2. I couldn't believe they let Nico undercut like that.

Best thing about the race - Ferrari look like they've got a great launching car. Hope that pattern continues for a while - makes it less important if Merc are untouchable in qualy if Ferrari can jump them at the start :)

Lewis being Lewis

It's no secret I'm not a fan of him, but to me he always seems to try and do things so people will go 'wow, Lewis is really cool'

I think he should stick to driving the car

I used to like him, I still like the way he drives but he's a massive tool these days.

Nice to see HAAS in 6th in their first race, but it's really not a representative finish.

STR gifted them 2 places. Ferrari retirement gifted them another. The other RBR should have been up there apart from al their woes culminating in not starting the race. Bottas being MIA all day equals yet another place...

But its motorsport and there always tales of how ppl-teams got their weekends wrong.

The fact that HAAS capitalised on an opportunity when others hicupped isnt surprising...the fact that a new team got ir right on their first weekend is mega. Hope thwey can squeeze in a result in the top 10 every 4th GP or so to keep it interwsting for Romain and the casual observation of Ferrari-Allison

just not normally that many...

They played it very conservative and it payed off.

The more impressive thing was how much faster the Renault PU is (by either name). It's got some straight line poke now. Dan passed Massa on the main straight, and the Works Renault team haven't gone backwards much if any from last year when they were Merc powered Lotus.

    • Yes, the problem is the supply chain hasn't standardized on metric which makes it more expensive to source metric hardware. They're all mail order at this point. Fastenal is cheap but you can't exactly rock up to a fulfillment warehouse as a random D2C. Paying 13 USD for 3 nuts doesn't really make sense. McMaster-Carr and similar companies are all in a similar sort of boat. If you like gambling on mystery hardware Amazon is cheap too but you're going to be buying 25 of whatever screw you need. So Lowes/Home Depot ends up being the way to go if you really only need small quantities of hardware for odd jobs like trying to rebuild a power steering pump that calls for an m6x1.0 screw to pop out the flow control valve. 
    • What size bolts did you use to reattach the cam cover baffles? Thinking it will need to be M3-M4
    • Yeah one of the first things I out in when I started having catch can filling up issues. Still prefer to empty 1-2 times a track day rather than every session
    • You'll find this link is probably more useful  Performance Turbochargers - Garrett - G GT GTX GTW Series Turbo TBG G35 1150 map may not even get added to my list depending on how it looks, the G35 1050 already is a mixed bag for making the numbers you would expect from the compressor map due to mismatch - I don't know how another 10lb/min of compressor flow is going to make that any better.   I've left out others for similar reasons as it's already getting quite big.   In terms of Precision, provide me with legit compressor maps for them and I'll do my thing   I'll add some more of the newer Xona Rotor options are they're pretty boss, I'd take a 68mm Xona over a G35 "1150" any day of the week - or Precision for that matter.
    • Ahh got it. Well maybe install a drain for the catch can somewhere down low and accessible like a wheel well too....
