WHY DID FERRARI SIGN MASSA!??!?!?!!??!?!!

Massa is a hack, decent in the dry, but utter mud in wet conditions, and he is far too inconsistant...

Massa on pole is unstoppable. When he is in front he can just punch in lap after lap. But he doesn't have the true grit of a racer to claw himself back from adversity to win. And like you say in the wet he's not brilliant. He has impressed me this year, but really seemed to shine when the Schu was around which is another nail in his coffin unfortunately.

F1 looks set for a third consecutive Grand Prix that is affected by rain.

After the Fuji washout and the wet-dry Chinese Grand Prix two weeks ago, forecasters are now predicting a weekend of potentially changeable weather in Sao Paulo; scene of Sunday's 2007 title showdown at the Interlagos circuit.

Rain has been ever-present in the Brazilian city all week, but weekend forecasts predict that the weather should by Sunday be in the process of clearing up.

Williams' debutant racer Kazuki Nakajima, however, said in an official team preview on Monday: "It looks like it's going to rain over the weekend."

The British team's technical director Sam Michael added that the weather forecast "is currently predicting rain all weekend" for Brazil.

You little ripper... two things are now a certainty:

1. Quali is going to be all over the place with ppl trying to go light to gain better grid position so that spray isnt such an issue... not to mention a last gasp hurrah some teams *cough* honda *cough* will want to throw in before the year is up

2. Kimi can no longer count on Massa to act as his buffer, which will affect his title chances significantly

Go webber!

If it's coming down, I'd back Alonso for the win. Lewis will probably wilt under the pressure UNLESS he can eke out a pole AND get a great start.

If he can come frrom behind in the wet to win, it'll go a long way to silencing the critics (such as myself) who continue to claim that he's been the third best driver in the first best car all season.

I for one am happy to be proven wrong. If Lewis can fight his way up the grid in the wet on a track he's never driven on before, he'll deserve world champ status. If he wilts under the pressure and parks it or DNF's, well than he's still a very good driver, probably the best rookie season ever, but not THE best driver.

One things for sure, it's going to be damn exciting!

might get a crew and go to crown to watch it on the obscenely big screen.

nice to see the f1 is on at 2:45am on monday morning :) damn channel 10! im going to have to go the whole day without listen to the news or radio for that matter!

Thats only delayed by 1 hour, as the race starts at 2 am local time, what do you want them to do???? They usually have the race on a 2 hour dely as a minimum.

how dare you denounce thruster... SHUN!!!

McConville knws as much about f1 as my pubic hairs do.

At least with woods and cromley, there was the certified expert and the dimwit but with those two, its both knobhead knowitall central...

why cant they bring Jones back into the fold. At least he KNOWS f1 and has won a championship..the rest can only pretend to know really...

nice to see the f1 is on at 2:45am on monday morning :laugh: damn channel 10! im going to have to go the whole day without listen to the news or radio for that matter!

meh. i'm going to get up and watch it - doesn't really matter what time it's on as i'll go to bed around 11pm regardless. gonna be pretty tired on monday tho!

I think your pubes would be rightfully offended by that remark.

Funny how the Channel 10's forums for each show just have general chit chat and the F1 forum everyone is saying YOU GUYS ARE F*CKED.

hey Marco, i guess you werent watchin F1 live!

Massa on pole but hes running hella light. No doubt to cover KR's ass...but... Lewie's in second!! stick that in your pipe you italian grid mafioso!

KR's in third and no doubt relishing an ass ramming from a hungry dirty sanchez who could only manage P4..

so... dirty sanchez, mate...how many tracks is it now where a ROOKIE... has outqualified you - in the SAME machine - in his FIRST SEASON at a track he has NEVER been on before during the CLIMAX of the 2007 season??? How can the fair play szar( or is that DIRTY SANCHEZ szar ) help your sorry filthy backside out of this one? Wow...you soiled your pants?? right well you would!

WEBBO!!! in 5th?? that a boy, show the scotsman how lucky he was last round to have out qualified you...

If mark can actually get a DECENT start off the line this time, he may well end up with a few points!

Yeah I was watching it...

Was on the seat of my pants...

Still, most of the truth shall be revealed both in the first set of corners, and at the first pit-stops..

Untill then, we can only speculate..

Speaking of Mafioso..

You hit me, we hit you... Biatch!

A.Jones, B.Woods & N.Crompton, F1 panel FTW!!!!

dear god yes, that would be excellent

keep it in context, Alonso is obviously heavier than lewis, much like kimi is MUCH heavier than Massa

I hope somebody gets around massa at the start or we could be in for a 'follow the leader' type first half of the race, im booking in Kimi for the win... which he so richly deserves

Lewis Hamilton faced fierce opposition at Interlagos on Saturday, but his rival was not one of the Formula One drivers but rather a French journalist who took the Briton to task in the official FIA post qualifying press conference.

L'Equipe writer Anne Giuntini was clearly unhappy with how Hamilton had let Kimi Raikkonen past in qualifying for the Brazilian Grand Prix.

Wasting little time to put her point of view across on the eve of what could be Hamilton's maiden championship, Giuntini suggested that the British driver had not been fair in his dealings with the Ferrari driver.

"For everybody, it is evident that twice you disturbed Kimi. Is everything good to become a world champion?" she asked.

Hamilton responded: "To be honest there is no reason for me to do anything to Kimi because if anything he can win..."

"You never showed him clearly that you could give him the track free?" Giuntini continued, as the two locked in a heated exchange.

"What do you want me to do? Put the indicator on?" Hamilton replied.

"You know exactly..." She said.

"I did the best job I could to get out of the way," Hamilton insisted. "And I did apologise to him if I did get in his way."

"Is that what you call the best job?" Giuntini continued.

"Yes," Hamilton responded.

Giuntini: "As a sportsman?"

Hamilton: "Yes. How are you at your job? Are you the best at your job? You never made mistakes....no?"

Giuntini: "Sometimes..."

Hamilton: "Oh, really..."

Other journalists managed to stir the press conference on to other topics, until one made the mistake of mentioning Giuntini's run-in with Hamilton, labelling it a "ridiculous exchange". The Frenchwoman saw this as her cue to pick up where she earlier left off.

"Let us continue the ridiculous exchange," she turned to Hamilton. "Do you think you can do everything you want and then you just apologise - is that the way it works in Formula One?"

"I'm not going to answer that," Hamilton finally snapped. "I just don't want to talk to you, to be honest."

Giuntini, who is married to Renault's head of engine track operations Denis Chevrier, continued her battle later on in the paddock, having further verbal exchanges with McLaren boss Ron Dennis and Hamilton's father Anthony.

lol... fkn bishs

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
