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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
