Australian Grand Prix champion Fernando Alonso says he does not yet have a car capable of winning next month's season-opening Formula One race at Albert Park.

Despite setting the pace in testing at both Jerez last week and in Barcelona this week, Alonso says he is concerned about the car's performance.

The Spanish reigning world champion says at the moment the MP4-22 looks better than it goes.

"The times have turned out well and everyone is aware of us but the car is not ready for Australia and the days are running out," Alonso told Spain's Telecinco television channel.

"It is not going to win at the moment. For the time being the thing I like most about it is the colour."

"At the moment the handling isn't right, it needs more traction and more power," Alonso said before the Barcelona test.

Oh, dear. :laugh:

Williams are looking a better bet then RBR at the moment. LOL im tempted to put money on Williams to beat RBR most of the season. They shouldnt, but they will for no other reason then Webber leaving and his recent smack talk about his former team.

Honda are slwo along with RBR. Honda usually play the off season game. Perhaps this eyar they are confident enough in their car that they are going to go out and jsut do the job?

All i know is im starting to worry about the pace of RBR. They are not doing as many laps, and they are off the pace as well?

Finally good news. DC put some fresh rubber on the RBR and i assume low tanks and actually tried to punch out some quick short tuns. Tops the timesheet for the final day of testing at Barcelona, beating all the big boys.

So here is to hoping that the car has the poterntial for some pace, though Webbers car broke down twice :wave:

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
