Agreed, live timing is sex.

If Webber was able to get a few more laps in with those new tyres at the end he could have ended up on the first row.

No one was near him for the first half of the session, he did well to bank that nice lap.

oh and i didnt mention that "Fisico" looks good for a win, not that im cheering for him or anything but he kept on pumpin in the fast ones with no probs

and wat happened to Alonso???

SMWBH syndrome.

Lets hope Webber gets a podium, Williams/Cosworth combo looking ok at the moment hopefully they can keep it up.

Rosberg has certainly impressed.....so far.

what the??? Nico>>>> P3 (not bad for a newbie!!!) glad to see Alonso at P8-might get interesting if he starts to come through the pack. I'm betting Fisi doesnt last long at the front-hmmm could be an interesting race with this jumbled grid.

well the race was good for the first 20 laps, then it was a bit of a snooze fest.

it was nice to see webber not taking any crap from rosberg at turn 1. but they both got hung out to dry a bit. I dont think there was any great need for rosberg to squeeze webber so far off line as webber was always going to come up the inside, rosberg should have been more concerned with the rest of them (gonzo in particular).

shame the cossies blew, but 2 fresh engines for melbourne means i will get to hear a V8 at 21 000rpm in qualifying. :dry:

I'm glad Kimi got shunted-it will make it interesting later in the season when he tries to regain some points.

Yep fresh cossies for the boys in Melbourne-love to see the williams on P1 P2

Rookie mistake from Rosberg.He should have realised Webber was going though and just tried to stop Alonso.He ruined Webbers and his own chance to shine up front before their motors went.

Montoya wasnt that quick and hardly seen him,but Raikkenon would have been fast i think as always.But its starting to look like the Renaults are gona run away with it again.

I reckon Nico will get is arse kicked for the turn 1 move.

Far too busy trying to squeeze his teammate right to the inside, there is no excuse for allowing someone around the outside

absolutely. like i said above he was far too concerned with keeping webber behind him when he should have been thinking about a fast starting, fuel heavy renault. because had he and webber kept alonso behind i doubt alonso would have been able to pass them with the amount of fuel he was carrying. it was a dumb move by rosberg and nearly ended badly. he is so quick though and will definately keep webber on his toes.

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
