Schumi will 100% win the race... he has absolutely nothing to loose, but its still Alonso's crown

Im big enough to give him the race win as his farewell... but theres no way i want Ferrari winning anything more at anytime for any reason in any way

i think old beer baron may shed a tear if alonso wins the championship. i just dont think i can stand to see him do another stupid arse victory celebration. i hope someone does crack it and stab him in the marble bag. his attempts to win the crowd are pathetic. shcuey did it with win, after win after win. and he never seemed to give a f*ck if anyone liked him or not. alonso on the other hand seems to care a lot.

I thought Alonso had won as many GP's as MS this year anyway. Aside from scoring ten more points.

speaking of shitty little statistics... i came across this little gem

Who's The Worthy World Champion?

not really relevant but a good read

There is a novel thought. Taste Police. Maybe Bernie & Max could get that organised. I would be concerned for the entire McLaren pit crew however. Black leather & a German connection do not a happy combination make.....

Actually, on that basis the first McLaren Mercedes would have to be burned at the stake. That horrible wing on top the air box & the pointy nose. That's before they built the fat bastard version for Nigel. ;)

Dont get me started on poor taste...

you could start a whole new thread on some of the designs they used to pump out 20-30 years ago

But im sure BMW's areo horns used in the French GP this year would still rank in the top three "Worst things bolted to an F1 car" of all time... i hope they never live that one down

Also the airboxes from the 94 season with holes punched through them...

Maybe some of the less successful ground effects cars from 1980 or there abouts.

The all time winner surely must be a thing from the 1972 Indy 500 called a Parnelli-Offenhauser VPJ-1. It had these wierd dihedral wings stuck beside the driver. You porbably won't find pictures of it on the net, but there is a photo of the thing in the current Motorsport magazine (Vol 82, number 9). The one with the Can Am McLaren on the front & the write up about the 956 Porsche. Dammit I want a McLaren Eagle M6B for Christmas.

This is my top five...

Coming in finth we have the 2005 BMW, as stated that was debuted at France was just stupid as well as dangerous

Fourth, as you pointed out would be the Tyrrell "X-wing" fighter... did it have a purpose?

Third, for one reason or another is this... dont know what is is... its just ugly

Second would have to be the Brabham BT26A... enough said

Montjuich-69-Brabham.jpg

----------------------------

First, in my opinion, would have to be the the Ensign that raced at Interlagos in 1979... what the hell was that?

Nice work, but I think you are being a bit harsh on the strut winged Brabham. No car with such wings looked pretty & they all had them for a time.

Some of Gordon Murray's early creations with the wedge style front wings were pretty damn ugly too. Also the March (cant remember the model off the top of my head) with an oval front wing that looked like a tea tray...

Williams signs AT&T for title sponsor

20 October 2006

US Telecommunications Company AT&T will become WilliamsF1's title sponsor next season the team announced today. The team signed a multiyear deal with AT&T.

Frank Williams, the team principal of the AT&T WilliamsF1 Team said, "It is a great privilege for WilliamsF1 to be an ambassador for a brand of the global size, scale and reputation of AT&T. It is our firm commitment to represent their interests to the very best of our ability on the race track and assist with the communication of their service offer that we, too, will have the significant benefit of being able to utilise."

"Formula 1 provides a unique platform for a global brand like AT&T," said Mark Keiffer, AT&T chief marketing officer. "The shared values of AT&T and Williams — a dedication to innovation, speed, integrity and commitment to absolute excellence — are highly complementary. We expect that the relationship between Williams and AT&T will be a key global marketing platform for our enterprise division."

meh, at least its the right colour scheme...

    • Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.
    • Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that). 
    • Yeah thats the next step now, either they wil or i will take out for a drive to work and go straight their after work and see is we get the same issues 🤞  thought i try my luck here too, never know someone else might have had the same issue but thanks for the reply 
    • Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point
    • Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
