the monster is the last of a species in current F1... hopefully Alonso and kimi keep up their Suzuka action cause no-one else is gonna do it

two of the best moves in 2005

well what a boring ass race. the first 10 mins were great. the rest was a bit ho-hum. good to see MS punish them just like the good ol days, but a shame massa couldn't do his job properly which meant MS only takes 2 points away from sanchez. that sucks.

webber. well no comment there. his season is going no where. badly in need of a new car/new team.

I agree - first lap aside, that was one of the most boring races of the season (bad trend developing here...the last few races have been similar).

Highlights of the race...

1) Jenson Button talking up his great race pace in an interview after getting to a fantastic 12th place before retiring (despite the fact that the majority of people he passed were parked in a pit garage) - what an idiot!

2) Next to no mention of Jenson Button during the race.

I feel sorry for Webber. The guy is trying hard and clearly outperforming the car and yet he still can't finish a race in that Williams shitbox. It's sad, but Williams are on a fast track to the F1 scrap heap the way they're going - they couldn't even match the pace of the Torro Rosso's during the majority of the race which is just plain embarassing really.

I just hope for Webber's sake that he gets a seat with a decent team for next year to allow him to demonstrate his true potential as I doubt Williams will be competitive any time soon (if ever again!).

Is his contract up next year?

William's option over Webber ends in two weeks, so he is open to go elsewhere if they dont sign him up. But thinking about it, what seat will he realistically get? Ppl say Renault, but i just dont know. Thiessen loves him from their time at Williams, so could replace JV. There is a seat at McLaren, i dont know there are a few seats around, but im a bit concerned if Williams dont retain his services then Webber may lose out in the musical chairs that will be what is Kimi and MS doing :wave:

that would be a dream come true. he would never win a world championship as a no.2 ferrari driver but he would certainly be on for some wins. i reckon he would make a good team mate for MS too. plus they both have massive jaws. match made in heaven.

yeah troy i'm a bit worried too as everyone will be watching to see what happens with MS and kimi, but i think MS will come back next year in ferrari and kimi will stay at mclaren or maybe move to renault. it's a bit hard to guess though. i'd love to see webber in a ferarri or big mac or even god help us a renault.

So Flavio doesnt want Webber in the Renault...that tells me something.

You would have to think that Flavio has his paws in Kimi, just to piss Ron Dennis off no doubt :)

There is some talk around that Frank wanted Montoya back at Williams because he could have gotten him pretty cheap. With Wurz and Rosberg at Williams in 2007, Frank stands to save a fair wad of money, as a stalling point for signing Webber has been the scheduled pay increase if his 3rd year option was taken up.

So its not unimaginable that Frank spends the money on engineering when he has two very capable drivers in Wurz and Rosberg...so with Renault wanting Kimi, and most likely to get him, where does that leave Webber?

Red Bull and BMW?????? Most likely BMW as MT rates him highly, but then again if Flavio can swing a Renault engine deal the way of Red Bull then perhaps Webber can get a foot on the door with his old team, a team whom he got a long with really well from the Jaguar days

FUX0R. I was so hopinhg webber could pull together a deal with renault, or mac or fezza. this year of all years held the best opportunity. with alonso moving, juan leaving a seat free, schui not having a rock solid wing man... all those things told me this was webbers best shot at a big dollar big team big budget drive... instead we get another year with the sheltered workshop at grove.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
