if... IF... Mclaren lose this case and Alonso indeed does leave the team, theres absolutely no way i cant continue to cheer on the silver arrows with someone like Hamilton at the helm. What a shame this all is.

I would just be repeating myself if I said anything further about the FIA & Ferrari.

Wouldn't worry about Alonso. I am sure Ron Dennis would have what could only be described as a fk off big buy out clause in his contract. With the Santander sponsorship tie ins & all the publicity there is no way he could just leave.

F1 cars now looks like some abscract artists nightmare induced sculpture.

getting passing into F1 is simply.

get slick tyres of a compound that will work amazingly for 5 laps and shit for the other 15 of their life (meaning people on different parts of that cycle will be quicker and be passing and vice versa).

re-introduce H pattern boxes as you quickly find out who can drive and a miss shift heading up the straight means your passed. a miss shift under brakes means your engine is gooone.

no more traction control. at all.

let the cars front spoilers be lower. as they are so high they end up with turbulent air underneath when following each other which takes away their front end grip

then we have some action.

I don't agree with H pattern, maybe a semi-auto shifter... either as is or using a stick shifter, but still semi-auto... With the rest, I agree though...Get rid of the winglets too, and game on!

It must be now getting very stressful to get up and go to work for some of the Mclaren boys... but thats probably the intention i suspect

That's not the half of it...

That is obviously Andrea De Cesaris, but I can only guess it is also Betrand Gachot. Is he out of jail, now?

I would nominate the Tyrrell-Honda...

As an aside it looks like the FIA are going to do McLaren over good & proper.

some interesting links there... very interested to see what the outcome is, personal i don't think you can place the blame on Ferrari, yeah they might have the FIA in there back-pocket but im pretty sure the outcome would be the same any other team was in Ferrari place.

Be interested to see how it affect the sport

edit

was just readin the itv website i and saw this

But if the team is found guilty, the punishments could range from a contructors' points deduction and a heavy fine to a full disqualification from this season and 2008.

this would surely hurt the sport, as many fans would place the blame on Ferrari, turning them away from the sport

If the FIA do find McLaren guilty, I hope they only get a fine. As a fan of the sport (and Ferrari for that matter), i don't want to see a top team denied the right to race.

At times i wonder if the FIA even like motorsport, they tried to bugger up WRC, and they constantly change F1.

You don't have to wonder. Just look at the history of sports car racing.

i SWEAR F1 has all guns drawn and is hell bent on denying McLaren the fair opportunity to win this bloody championship!

look what happened this morning!

are they in the wars or what??!! Gearbox this, team mates bitching that, spy scandal whatever...it doesnt stop.

Whats with all the sympathy for McLaren. Its looking more and more likely that they had their fingers in the cookie jar. They deserve more then a smack because they are not 6yr old kids. If what is being thrown around is true then no problem kicking them out of the season. I cant stand cheats in sport.

Hi people,

I'm a fan of F1 but not to the extent of you guys. Very informative thread and enjoy the reading, i have nothing intellegent to say here but just saying this, what a top thread. well done all of you. :whistling:

So let me get this straight..if they're found guilty (which obviously means they were guilty of cheating) and with cheating comes a disqualification, you think they shouldn't be denied the right to race...?

Are you all there or what? If you cheat, you do not have the right to anything except to be disqualified. A fine is nothing! we're not talking about you or me here, we're talking about a top team with cash coming out of their ass, a fine is less than a slap on the wrist

Finally some f**king sense has been posted.

After the crash the medical car picked up Raikkonen and brought him back to the Ferrari pitbox. Raikkonen looked completely fine and will have to use the team's spare car in today's qualifying session.

It will be interesting to see whether or not the Italian team can place the engine and gearbox in the spare car. If they won't Raikkonen will face a grid penalty of ten places.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
