Kimi Raikkonen pips Lewis Hamilton

bit unoriginal arnt we... looks like it might be a close one. Ferrari will run light in final quali so as not to repeat the last race embarrassment.

that was a bit of an odd one... that leaves so many questions unanswered

What was with Alnoso?

Why was Kimi so slow in the last stint?

How was Hamilton faster on the harder tyres?

Why couldnt Alonso overtake Heidfeld?

Why was Kubica so much slower that Heidfeld?

and soooo many more...

Anyway, pretty uneventful like Sepang, im blaming the track. Im not a fan, no personality and who builts a track int he desert? Once again its a three week wait till the next round. Why they chose to do it this way we'll never know

i thought it wasn't too boring. Coulthard did well, both redbull's showing some speed and Heidfeld passing Alonso round the outside. that was a good move. hopefully things might spice up a bit when they return to Europe....

hahaha, why on earth would you install vista? lol

anyway, I thought it was a good race. shame that DC and webber both had car failure and damn was webber talking straight for once. he sounded massively pissed.

Really enjoyed last nights race. It wa actuallky a good race through the whole field.

Webber didnt sound happy...but was not happy to hear him be so short. Coulthard was very upbeat " We’re going through some growing pains at the moment, but we will get through it and we’ll be stronger on the other side, everyone’s working very hard back in the factory.”

Webber just sounded negative ;)

Glass houses though....it is becomg pretty clear to me that Webber cant pass to save his life. Good qualifier, races hard to defend his position, but seems to hesitant when following slower cars. Good thing he qualifies well as i dont htink he could race well from the back of the grid.

its actually 4 weeks.. :)

Lewis Hamilton is a freak of nature...has anyone noticed that? Hes polite, well spoken, diplomatic and hes got the skills to put world champions in the shade in only his 3rd race. He drives as though f1

im going to go out on a limb and bet he will win the next race. He shouldve won Barain if it werent for a tyre choice screw up by McLaren.

The boys a natural born champion.

Pitpass.com has a really good story about him and his dad

Like father like son

And i dont think he would have beaten Massa regarless of what tyre stratagy Mclaren came up with. Ferraris last test before the season opener showed how awesomely quick they were here on long runs, so i think he exceeded his damage limitation rather than lost the win

Who was it that said Kimi would run light in the first stint? hehe

And Hamilton was quicker, but again Massa went longer, which shows that he was quicker in qualifying with more fuel....

Good race, I watched it at 6am after work after being up for 32hours, and I wasn't disappointed :nyaanyaa:

The 4 week wait sucks harder than Honda too....

Anyone else find the battle between Barichello and Schumacher for next to last place rather amusing......there is $600 million well spent :lol:

Renault really does have rubbish drivers, maybe excuses can be made for Heikki as he hasn't raced for a long time but Giancarlo is just rubbish really.

Webber has every right to be pissed, he drags the car up the grid only to be let down in the race......although you have to ask questions about his race pace.....good to see Coulthard back on form.

What was with Alonso?

I think he just dropped the ball on car setup, happens to the best

Why was Kimi so slow in the last stint?

Don't think the Ferrari liked the hard tyres, Massa wasn't real quick either.

How was Hamilton faster on the harder tyres?

Well as Martin said.....the track rubbers up a lot but even so you would expect fastest lap to be set on soft rubber?!!?!?!

Why couldnt Alonso overtake Heidfeld?

See question 1. Heidfelds move on Alonso was simply awesome!!

Why was Kubica so much slower that Heidfeld?

Experience, car setup??? Hiedfeld seems in inspired form.

    • 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.
