o'beerous one i think webber changed to slicks on his first stop, it started raining again soon after and he had a few dicey moments so he made the call to come back in for wets (just prior to that rain he was putting in some very good times), then it dried again hence the 3rd stop which cruelled his chances.

he would have wasted about 50 seconds with the 2 extra stops which more or less would have left him in front of Vettel (which might have been a dangerous place based on last week). barrichello also got caught out the same way. so a case of coulda shoulda woulda.

it wasn't as bad as the pitstop after the safety car from a few races back.....

yeah you're right, he did switch to slicks at the first stop, then wimped out when it got a bit wet. my point is, he should have 1 waited a few more laps before putting the slicks on, then once the choice was made he needed to stick with it. as when he came in to go back to wets that was when the rain was just about to stop :yucky: hindsight is a wonderful thing, but some smart thinking could have predicted that I reckon. well a few other teams predicted it...

Oh, yeah. For anyone that remember Satoro, this will bring a smile to your face.

Nakajima to race for Williams in Brazil

Tuesday, 09, October, 2007, 10:30

Kazuki Nakajima will race for Williams in the season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix, the Grove squad confirmed on Tuesday.

Nakajima, the team’s official test and reserve driver, will step into the seat vacated by Alex Wurz, who announced on Monday that he would be retiring from Formula 1 racing with immediate effect.

The 22-year-old Japanese driver has covered more than 4,300 miles of testing in the FW29 as well as earning rookie of the year honours in the GP2 series.

“I am very grateful to the team who have given me this opportunity,” he said.

“I hope I now know the car very well and thankfully have done some Friday driving as recently as Shanghai.

“This is a chance I intend to grab with both hands and repay the faith the team are showing in me with a strong performance.”

Team boss Frank Williams explained that the purpose of running Nakajima was to allow him to gain F1 experience rather than to evaluate him for a 2008 race seat.

“You cannot assess a driver’s capability on the basis of one race but this is an ideal opportunity to develop Kazuki’s experience,” he said.

“I am confident he will approach the race in a very workmanlike and focused way.”

Dave Richards won't back down, not now...

It is not a matter of him backing down or otherwise. It is a matter of the rules allowing him to run a McLaren chassis or not.

Currently he can't, so no Prodrive for 2008.

Which is fine because he needs to fix the bloody WRC cars anyway.

LOL..that was my point! And talk around that Alonso has made a committment to Renault previded he is released

lol the source is some newspaper which is known for their "bs". BUT i think there is a big chance he will head back but Renault did shithouse this season and im pretty sure Alonso won't want to go into a car which is up to speed

Go Webbo! :thumbsup:

Mark Webber says he was unfazed when the British press described him as a 'whinger' at the recent Chinese Grand Prix.

In a news conference in Shanghai, the Australian driver slammed Lewis Hamilton for having done a 'shit job' behind the safety car at Fuji Speedway a few days earlier.

The Red Bull driver said the British championship leader's erratic driving had contributed to Sebastian Vettel crashing him out of contention for the race win.

"I got pretty much slaughtered by the British gutter press about what I said," the 31-year-old wrote this week in his column for Eurosport.

"I guess that's what happens when you say something negative about the golden boy.

"

Webber, though, said that despite the media attacks, including the description of him as 'whinging Webber', he will not be put off speaking his mind in the future.

"Cowboys don't cry, I say, and I have some pretty thick skin," he added. "It's old news now, and those newspapers are already wrapping chips, so what difference does it really make?"

they're running a story on formula1.com about how the FIA will be watching their drivers to "ensure equality"

i find that hilarious - especially given ferrari's history going in the opposite direction. granted, both mac drivers are in with a shot at the title though. still, gave me a chuckle. i bet alonso will be out there with his pressure gauge making sure nobody has let his tyres down!

P.S.

Next weekend will be the big test for the guy. Watching the two recent wet races he may have been leading but he wasnt convincing in the wet. You would have to say that Kimi, Kubica, Vettel and Button were all doing a better job in the wet. Alonso was ragged in Japan but great in China.

Any stat geeks around? Will be intereting to see that stats for the year...most wins (kimi), poles and fastest laps.

That all said Louise has done a better job then i thought possible over the length of the season...so who knows.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
