If he was smacking the field about winning most races with a massive points lead I could possibly see him retiring but he's been fighting for the last few championships and I don't think he's about to give up yet.

F1 will be rather dull without MS that's for sure!

Kovalainen replaces Alonso

62854.jpg

Having confirmed Giancarlo Fisichella as a 2007 race driver last June, Renault announced this morning that current test driver Heikki Kovalainen, 24, will race alongside him in 2007

looks like Raikonnen is off to Ferrari next year... its a pity, would have loved to have seen him in the same car as Alonso to see what they could do against each other. Still, that one less piece in the jigsaw puzzle. Bring on Monza!!

yeah, it should have been webber fisi, or webber kovalenien. either way I'm still reeling from the fact that webber could not put together a deal at renault. even with his manager running that team. I reckon he has once again been screwed by flava flav.

the only, and i mean ONLY, reason i can see why Renault kept Fisi is to help kovalenien get adjusted to the car for race weekend setup and technical info guidence... but thats a pretty weak argument...

i think he kept him cause of the whole "will renault continue in F1" debarcle a few months back. All the second tier drivers we either gone, or going to other teams already and Renault must have though that keeping the team stable with Fisi was the best option. Webber would have kicked his Roman ass all year if they snapped him up

He will announce his retirement at Monza :D

I like Melbourne later in the year to-gives the champoinship time to settle before it gets here :)

Go Ferrari FTW

a sad day for F1. I'm very sorry he didn't do a final year farewell tour next year. that would have been great, and would have gaurenteed sell out crowds at every F1 race on the calendar.

let's hope he can seal up this years WDC and leave in style.

a great man, and a great racer. Certainly in the top 3 drivers of all time. 7 (8?)WDC will never be replicated in my life time.

:D

I can't beleive that I missed the race. I haven't missed one in years, but I just completely forgot it was on last night.

Probably good that i didnt stay up to watch it though as i was already tired and was up at 4:30am today.

:(:(:D MS leaving, I read it at 4:30 this morning when I woke up, and was upset...then I saw he won last nights GP, and that Alonso had a DNF!!!! that makes the gap 2 points now?!

If he has to retire this year, I hope he takes the title on his way out!

Benm: Upload the entire race for me please ! lol

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
