fark, what a race.. that was action-packed!

Good on him...he has busted his ass for years...good to see fresh faces on the podium

word. He definitely deserves a win. 100+ starts, he was overdue.

If only schumacher finished with some points :)

Yeah I was hoping to see the championship close up as well. But the Schu dealt his own hand this race he only had himself to blame.

That was definatley an interesting race. tyre choice seemed to be the critical thing on a wet but drying then wet track. which didnt come to use with slicks till about 20 or so laps to go.

ms retired with only 4 or so laps to go and the state of his intermediate tyres was pretty crazy he was driving pretty hard on them but after the track became dry he was dropping around 4seconds a lap compared to de la rosa(sp?)

i went to bed with 2 laps to go but knew button was in. and good on him.

yeah spewing schui didn't pit towards the end for some slicks but i guess he didn't want to give up P2, which in the end cost him any points at all.

fark I hope webber doesn't go to RBR. he would be better off staying at williams.

Robert Kubica just got stripped of his double points finish for being underweight... hard luck. He drove really well, aside from the two spins of course

None the less top race, the commentators went a bit overboard with the screaming at the i think... he won... ok. but look how many people had to DNF for him to do it

yeah, they certainly talked it up. i mean yeah, he won a race. but funnily enough someone wins every grand prix!

bummer for Kubica. Nice to see a pole in there.

I am really pissed that MS didn't hang on until the end. That would have really livened up the championship as I would love to see sanchez under some pressure for once. Just to see how he takes it. he is great when way out in front but I dont think he's all that cool when the pressure is on.

JESUS CHRIST!!!

Anyone been to itv.com/f1 lately???

According to them, Jenson won the race, is now the title favorite and has finally cured cancer!!! all in the one day... amazing!! he really is the second coming of the messiah

have a look at the home page and the stories that dominate it!!!

jenson can suk my wang. getting a win after years and years with potentially race winning teams is no great achievement.

Umm, how many wins do Honda have? and from 14th (but with exclusions of Shuey and Alonso)

I say good on Jenson, with a top contending car/team he would be doing much better (of course)...not to say Honda is crap, but they are a new team compared to Ferrari, Williams, Renault.

But yeah, Jensen is God at itv-f1 at the mo :(

Button is god to them at every single race, it really is a joke how much they crap on about how good he is. :(

Personally i was hopeing Rubens would get the break through for them :D

Anyway to more important issues!

Why the F*%K would Webber go to RBR? :)

Athough they have more backing than Williams i don't think they will be a top team for a few years at least, a few years Webber dosn't have. i just don't understand ??

Any thoughts to explain why???

i thought rbr wasnt too bad. they seem to be doing alot better than williams.... i think.

I agree, the commentators spoiled what would have been an awesome F1 race, possibly the most entertaining in 2006.

Sure, he won his first GP. But its only taken him how many years? He isnt that great a driver in my opinion, and had a few other drives stayed in the race it could have turned out completely differently.

I would have been more impressed with the win if half the field hadnt DNF'ed.

As for coming from 14th... didnt Alonso come from that part of the field to lead for quite alot of the race? Keeping in mind Alonso and Schumi both came from the back of the pack too, its not that great an achievement.

yeah I may have been a bit harsh but he won a race that had no schuey, no alonso, no kimi, no montoya so lot's of big names either out of the race (whilst in front of JB) or just absent.

still, good on him.

i thought rbr wasnt too bad. they seem to be doing alot better than williams.... i think.

True, but are they better than a Renault or Maclaren ..... i think not

If he has signed with RBR they must have put a very very good offer on the table me thinks.

Also, just read that Renault maybe suppling RBR with engines next season ...........the plot thickens

RBR is supposedly a good option for Weeber because the areo will be an Adrian Newey design with either Ferrari or Renault engine... And you saw the top end pull of schumi's Ferrari here at Hungary.

If you do think about it seriously for a moment, RBR will be up there sooner rather than later, why not jump in while there's still an seat to jump into

Button wins a GP...bout time

I cant watch this anymore with these biased pommy dckhead commentators...what a joke at the end when they yelled...HE WON!!!!..please no more for me...more sleep for me on Sunday nights but :thumbsup:

RBR for Webber is a mystery team to join...they could be strong with the aero but who knows..too much of a wild card..renault would be safer

Edited by gtr660hp

yeah, renault would equal short term results which is exactly what webber needs right now before his career is over. no point in looking at long term prospects, he needs RESULTS next year or he will no longer be in a strong negotiating position to get a better drive.

    • 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.
