No tyre change = boring.

F1 before was a little more exciting when drivers had an engine for qualifying and race. Set of tyres for qualifying and race. Qualifying was more exciting cause the drivers would really trash the car to get the most out of it.

These days I don't see the point of 4 practice sessions and 2 qualifying sessions just to get a race set up. Qualifying doesn't play a major role now cause qualifying setup IS race setup.

But then again it's all to do with cost cuttings etc... so I'll just have to live with it. Better than oval racing.

yeah the annoying thing is that there arent any pitlane battles anymore. no real excitement.

Kimi got shafted..he had leapfrogged webber and schu and had a podium for sure. I'm glad he pumped out the fastest lap though and JPM pulled out a creditable 4th.

Nothing like a McLaren win though!

      How much clearance is under the car? We have speed humps being added everywhere around me. Faster than they fix the potholes, thats for sure.

      After some googling of various websites IRT the best ride height for correct geometry I ended up going,  hub to guard, 330mm in the rear and 345 at the front, these heights came from Flyin' Miata in the states as what they recommend (13" rear, 13.5" front) The rear needed to only come up 5mm, but the front came up 15mm Overall it is around a 25mm drop from OEM ride height, doesn't look all 4x4, and hopefully should be enough height to clear those pesky speed humps I have lost around 0.5° camber on the front, and around 0.2° in the rear, I have no idea about what it did to toe settings so I'll look at a new alignment next week to get it set up how I want, zero rear and a little in at the front I've also stripped the new intake and am currently cleaning and preparing the alloy for some paint, I've headed into work to do it as I can use the ovens in the soils lab to cure the wrinkle paint at 90°c Jackie has banned me from using the oven at home for stuff like this....🤣

      At my age, 59, I'm in bed by 20:30 nowadays 😴 I'm pretty much a solar powered device, powering up at first light, and powering down when the sun goes down 🤣 Oh to be young again.....
