Or they could just fuel him slightly less so that he qualifies slightly higher (5-8 instead of 8-12) so that he has better track position in the first stint because it's easier to hold someone up behind you than it is to overtake someone doing a similar lap time.

yeah good point. but i think the problem with that he may not actually qualify better than that with the same car and setup.

team stratergy will work out. it will fall into place at some stage. Almost did in canada.

Quoted from greman newspaper and translated into english...

Sounds like a typical Joe Saward piece of bullsh!t. He basically makes up whatever he wants & reports his opinion as fact or occasionally as conjecture. More often than not he is completely wrong.

As the quote goes "Writing fiction is great, you can make up just about anything."

He is one reason why I never used to buy Motorsport News. Although now you don't have to pay for it.

It does explain to some extent whay we havent seen any sort of aero upgrades recently... Mclaren, BMW, Williams even Honda have introduced parts recently. You'd think Ferrari would be right up there pumping out aero pieces to keep up with Mclarens rate of development, but no. This week is the first week in some time that they're adding new aero parts on the car.

Just seemed like a logical explanation...

Well it's plausable. Which is the kindest thing you can say about some of his stuff.

Unfortunately for peeps like me Ferrari are dropping the ball in many areas this year and it starting to show up now the season is getting serious. I know of maybe a big aero upgrading coming but not until August which is way to late in the year. I think maybe some of those key members leaving is starting to filter through

Im with you there, typical Mclaren, more data for Dennis's mob. Calling Honda a 'B' team is a complement going on there discraceful performance this year...maybe the 'Z' team would be better.

Well it isn't actually Ron Dennis' fault. More of a case of getting a deal done whilst he cane & whilst it can benefit McLaren. The rule shouldn't have changed - each entry should be required to use a different constructor. Back in the day companies such as Lola & March supplied heaps of chassis.

& yep Honda suck wang this year. Hopefully they will improve.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
