I was told they put buses on the for the GP??? Hungaroring is about is out in paddoks. Thankfully they put on a good bus service. Monza is great. Right next to a train stations...about the only good thing about the place. Spa is in middle of nowehere. Accom is a challenge ... I think I am going to camp if a few things fall into place. Namely new job OS

Why have you not bought an E30 M3 by now...ready to import back home when your fun ends in Europe

He was 15 seconds up with 15 laps to go....if he had backed it off a few laps earlier. Horner seemed to think Kimi was racing to the end on those tyres. Better roll the dice as the clock said he wasnt going to be able to do it if he pitted

Should have backed Kimis pace off and cruised him to the line to look after the tyres. Good to see Lotus back...Romain have a good day. And Webber...f**k RBR. That is twice this season they have dicked Mark . Add Malaysia into it and he could have had a few wins this year!

So far a good weekend. Kimi and Romain strong. Mark on the second row on the clean side....AND Dan gets P6 again! Even if RBR dont grab him he is doing enough to surely be on the minds of other teams who my be looking to fill the seat vacated by the guy that goes to Ferrari or RBR

Ditto...I was in belgium at a pub in Bruge watching quali and Webber putting it on pole and Cadel win the Tour in the time trial. I then drove overnight to pick up a friend from Frankfurt airport and we were debating whether to head back to Nurburgeing to watch Mark or head to a pub across the border in France to watch on the tv. In hindsight we made the right call as Webber let that one get away from him./ Not this year though

Webber to win Zetools home GP just to piss him off

Great build. Interesting read. Personally I would throw some suede over the dash. Help with noise and vibration and look a bit neater than carbon wrap

The hammered AO50s were still good and better than any tyre I had used before. But newish Hankooks in hard felt good for the 4laps I did before car gave way. So no idea what is ultimately the better tyre re yoko vs Hankook but both are far better than the toyo...mind you I have only driven a historic on the toyo but everybody cant be wrong

Night and day...Hankook are the easy winners. I ran hard compound and liked them for the few laps I have been able to do on them. Easily faster than the old hammered AO50s I had grabbed off a friends Targa car

That's my point! The gunt engineering team and funding of Fezz came up with the car that was skillfully piloted by Schuey. Your point on Vettel is exactly what makes what Kimi has done so special! Anyway....Kimi has the best haircut. Seems he is a fan of the Kurgan as well

Yeh, but wasnt 2002 the year that Ferrari had a cake walk to the championhsip. Doesnt really matter if they are not handing out points below P6 or whatever when you and your compliant team mates car is light years ahed of others in performance and reliability

In some regards, Yes, easier to do than before. Cars are more reliable which helps. Points down to P10 which helps. But can you think of a time when the grid is covered by something like 2.5 seconds in quali at Silverstone with quality cars and steerers from the 5th and 6th teams like Force India etc? I can think of plenty of seasons where only 1-2 teams won a GP. In the last few years you have had Ferrari, Lotus, RBR, Merc, McLaren and Williams win races with FI and Sauber in the hunt of top 5 finishes. its pretty competitve these days...so still think Kimi racking up all those points finishes is a HUGE achievement

Mark Webber's Williams years provided a favourite anecdote about him, which says a lot about his determination, sense of justice and humour. Like all top Aussie sportsmen, Webber is not immune to a few psychological games to boost his chances. And it was he who invented the nickname "Britney" - as in popstar Spears - for his young, blond and good-looking 2006 Williams team-mate Nico Rosberg, then in his first season. Their final race together was in Brazil, where Rosberg rammed into the back of his team-mate's car on the opening lap, breaking the front nose of the German's car and Webber's rear wing. Because it's relatively quick to replace a front wing replacement but a damaged rear means a likely retirement, the two were given a "priority Rosberg" message over the radio as they headed back to the pits. Webber, cross at his team-mate's mistake, was determined to get back first and they began to race - really race - despite Rosberg suffering from lack of front grip and Webber struggling with the rear. As they came on to the pit straight, Rosberg was just ahead, only to lose control through the flat-out kink before the pits and crash heavily into a concrete barrier. Webber was right behind him and, as he passed the incident, the team came back on the radio with another "priority Rosberg" message. Webber paused for effect before replying in a languid Aussie drawl: "Britney's in the wall."

As Dan said pre-race everyone thought that tyre durability was not going to be a concern for the race and it was going to be a pretty straight up fight. How wrong they all were. It woudl have been a perfectly good race if the tyres had not blown up as Vettel on Hamo would have been a good contest and ditto Webber in the back of the top 10 trying to come back through. The DRS zone made life rather easy so didnt need tyre grenades

Almost the greatest ending ever! Dan got gobbled up by cars on fresh tyres too

LOL...ahhh so great to see. Come on Mark. Lets get it done from here!

Farking STR messing up Dans pitstop has hurt him from having a top 5 finish

What a farce!

My beloved TD06-20G is for sale. Now running T67 so this is just sitting around/ Will take $1000 for it. Comes with an 8cm TRUST housing. If you want the turbo without housing will do it for $750. That way you can run a Kando style T3 or so for $150. Come with elbow welded to compressor cover Perfect running order...has about 80,000kms on it but only came off for T67. Tempted to put back on as was way gruntier then T67 as made a nice 306rwkws on RB20...and was rather epic for same power when put on an RB25 On RB20 and E85 Run 170 was on RB25 with boost controller not setup

Will take $1100 + delivery for the next week if someone is keen

$1200 plus delivery for the next few days if someone is keen

Well done Massa. Maybe Fezz will walk down the pits and try and steal Webber off Porsche
