Very exciting, snactching pole away after the clocks stopped... Kimi will be filthy about the last corner off track excursion. Now he starts on the VERY dirty side of the track along with Massa

Hopefully should be a good race

whatever. you can hope its a good un but i can guarantee with absolute certainty it WILL be a good one and if it isnt ill eat my undies.

noted.

I've never been a fan of alonso's, and to be honest, I think he's a bit of a hack, but I am actually enjoying seeing him race now.

It seems like he's pulled his head in a bit, and realised that he's got to beat some pretty talented people in some damn fine cars to have a hope of getting decent points.

He set the fastest lap of qualifying too.

The start will be where it's at. Massa and Kimi on the crappy side, McLarens on the rubber. Alonso will almost certainly try to squeeze out Raikkonen, but it should be entertaining to watch.

I do hope Hamilton does not win though. I like the kid and all, but all freaking week it's been in ev ery paper about the rappers he's playing golf with, about the social outings he's had.... I really feel a bit over him.

Still, Webber had some pace, and he could score some points if things go well. Sato is pushing sh!t uphill, but will be as entertaining as always.

I'll start doing a rain dance tonight.

Wow.... Clouding up already!

If we asume no mistakes, which to me it didntlook like there were any, Hamilton's best in Q2 with a 1:19:400, and the pole was 1:19:99, difference of about 0.5 secs

Alonso did his best on 1:19:1, and in Q3 made 1:20:1, which is a whole 1 second more than his best. I'm guessing he is much heavier, by several laps laps, than hamilton. Could be wrong but that seems like way too much of a difference considering how fast and how consistant Alonso was during all the quali sessions.

The commentators were saying that the track was really hard on tyres, so the super-soft might deteriorate pretty quick. Alonso did the 1:19.1 on the mediums, so look for him to burn out the white stripes asap.

Also, Alonso's garage seem to be declining to share strategy with Hamilton, so it could be an absolute pearler!

Good race, lots of things happening... Massa's stalling has cost him third place in the championship and he is now where he belongs among the top 4. Kimi was very stong, was great watching him tail lewis at the end of the first stint.

Alonso look really quick for the first time in a long time it felt like. He's still very dirty about having to give away all his data to his team mate which he feels negate's any advantage he may be able to develop to pull in old hamo's points advantage. And speaking of Hamilton, it was entertaining watching his struggle quite badly and ITV havng to come up with excuses for him. Their website is still mentioning him any chance they get

... and what was with the slow down lap footage? We were watching Hamilton wave to the crowd for a good 20 seconds when we could have been watching Massa v Kubica in the dying corners? Im sick of hearing about and even looking at this kid and he's driving for the team i support

GO Kimi! nice work. it seems hamilton didn't stand up too well this time. and yes the comentators pulling excuses out of their arse for hamilton was a bit much. I mean 9 podiums out of 9 races is a pretty fking good effort, they don't need to sugar coat anything for us. he just had an off day. big deal, he still took 3rd which is better than 17 out of the 20 drivers...

kimi pounded them though. better strategy, faster on track too. :P

shame webbers car broke again. I should have known. I was cheering that he had a good start and nailed trulli, but with that piece of good work done I should have guessed a retirement was inevitable.

by all accounts the bmw is not terrible, but I'd love to see what kubica could be doing in say the mclaren. perhaps it would be kubica up in the top 3 of the championship. he has done well to come back from that massive accident in canada.

why the hell did they start both macs on hard tyres? That was a BIG mistake. If they hadve started Hamilton and Alonso on the softer option, which was obviously the tyre to be on ( witness the pace of both ferraris ) then it wouldve been a completely different story.

Ron dennis even admitted as much in the post breifing.

people shouldnt be hacking away at Hamilton. the guy is doing an otherworldly job. Who gives a stuff if ITV bang on about him. I love the way he drives- hes mega aggressive, smooth, mechanically sympathetic ( lets see how the ferrari lasts with brutal Raikonnen behind the wheel ) and has a tactical nous that belies his 9 GP's...

think about that..

He's killing Heidfeld... What a form reversal

dont over exaggerate. hes not bloody well "killing" Heidfeld. Nick was only 3 seconds behind at the flag and still came in 6th..id hardly call that killing.

compared to what Heidfeld was doing to Kubica in the fist 5 or 6 races it is

I dont see your logic. They are very evenly matched in my eyes but i think Quick Nick is the better driver.

again, i would hardly go so far as to say they were killing each other as you put it.

Now if you were to compare trulli and schumacher then yes one is killing the other.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
