troy the only really worrying part is how/why are you reading spanish newspapers??? lol

I really hope webber get's the fark out of williams and into a nice warm seat at renault. see what's it's like to have a garage at the nice end of pitlane for once.

See HERE for same article.

I really hope Webber does move on from Williams. I'd really like to see what he's capable of achieving with a decent car beneath him, especially considering he's quite often out-performed the potential of his underperforming cars at both Williams and Jag.

If my instincts are right, I'd bet that it wouldn't take him too long to start outperforming Fisichella if he did make the move.

Fingers crossed that it finally happens...

FINAL QUALIFYING TO CHANGE!!

Now i read that and thought booyah... they got ther collective act together and they've stopped that rediculous fuel burning exercise for 15 laps and done something exciting!! good on you Formula1, good on you... whts the change? one set of tyres for the session? or maybe two flying laps allowed? what is it? tell me what god damn you?

but allas no... instead of a 20 min final session it'll be cut down to 15 mins... thats hardly the change we were looking for

Edited by ctjet

The final 10 should be able to choose whatever fuel load they like for qualifying and then refill at the end. This will give them 20mins (now 15mins) to do the quickest laps they possibly can rather than burning off fuel, then doing 2-3 quick laps on 2 sets of tyres. I'd rather see 15mins worth of quick laps battling it against each other.

in the scheme of it all, who the fcuk is Hamiliton? there are so many drivers like lewis out there its rediculous... Senna, Piquet, Paffet even!! why go for a dime a dozen nobody when they should be targeting the drivers that'll acctually give them championships??

Fcuk Hamiliton, i hate him... id rather see some one in there that has acctually raced an f1 car before rather than this weeks UK fad...

its mostly karting...

The driver is Jarno Trulli - the comparison is meaningless.

GP2 is the new proving ground for future F1 drivers and Hamilton is wiping the floor with everyone in the series (including Piquet). I think it would take some balls for Ron Dennis to give him a drive next year, but the guy has proven that he's quick in everyone he's driven, so I don't think you can say that he's not worthy of a drive in F1.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
