2. Adrian Sutil

3. Alex Wurz

4. David Coulthard

Whingey B'stard of the Race

1. Jenson Button ("my car's cr*p")

2. Flavio Briatore ("my driver's cr*p")

3. Ron Dennis ("BMW made a cr*p tyre choice")

Interesting comments.

I can't see DC being replaced, not from a team as big as RBR. I also think it's great that Button spoke out and said the truth about his Team, Honda has done zero for his career.

No they wont... but i also think Kovalainen will improve exponentially during the year. Last week was a bit of nerves on a new track in his first race. He'll get the get of it, he's Finnish.

Fisi will continue to produce the same mediocre results all year, much like he does every year.... God i cant stand him and his bullshit. Did you see the sunnies he wore the whole time he was in the paddock? the ultimate in gayness

this season will be fascinating boys and girls let me assure you.

im so stoked for lewis hamilton, hes such a meticulous driver and the move around the outside of the world champ into turn one at the start of the race can tell you hes not afraid of anyone. Unfortunately for Lewis, Alonso had the better strategy. Imagine if lewis had finished one step aove Alonso on the podium..that wouldve sent some MAJOR ripples throught the sport and most importantly through Alonsos psyche! I might be the only one thinking this but i am SURE Lewis will win a race this year and he will do it soon.

shame the race was such a bore otherwise..

Theres talk of making Albert park a night race with the track all lit up to coincide with the dubai GP to be hosted a week earlier.

now THAT would keep me awake infront of the telly!

maybe many of you have seen this but its a first for me.

Heidfeld going nuts on the snow in his BMW! very cool.

how many times have you seen an F1 car doing this?? just listen to the cars traction control going bunta.

Cant wait to see the footage of the BMW F1 cars hit the full Nurburgring in a few weeks. WIll be interesting to see how a modern F1 car handles the bumps and what lap time it punches out

yeah that would be exciting to watch, what sort of the lap time would it do? the unofficial record was 6mins11 by a porsche i think.

Dont DC will be replaced, but this year will probably be his last year.

Honda has done nothing??? apart from the bit where they paid Williams about $40million to release Jenson from a contract :glare:

SCHUMI TO RE-ENTER F1

Michael Schumacher is reportedly on the brink of a multi-million-pound buy-out of the Scuderia Toro Rosso team. According to the Gulf News, the seven-time World Champion is keen to own a F1 team and has targeted Toro Rosso as the outfit he'd like to purchase. The report continues claiming that 'he wants to link up with Ross Brawn, the mastermind behind all his World titles, to form F1's dream team. 'The ex-Ferrari driver and team technical wizard Brawn, now enjoying a world-wandering sabbatical, have already formulated a plan to re-enter F1 as big-time bosses.'

"Formula One has given me everything - and I'd like to give something back," the newspaper reported Schumacher as having said.

The German's manager Willi Weber added fuel to the reports by saying: "It is only one thought - but I can see the sense in Michael buying out an existing operation." One person who would love to see Schumacher step into the role of team owner is Bernie Ecclestone. The F1 supremo said: "Michael has been such a fantastic figure, a real legend, he would be welcome back to the scene in any capacity. He could count on my help anytime."

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
