Certainly was a big hit for HK...monocoque looked to be farked at the front...you could see the ground through the cockpit, but apparently he's all ok so thats good news.

Ferrari 1 2 again!

Webber 5th which is a decent result considering only the top 3 manufacturers finished in front of him.

Well, Alonso wasn't running as light as many had thought. Good to see the Renaults have picked up same pace, pity neither driver could turn it into a result.

thats quite a surprise, Alonzo must have wrestled the car for all its worth for that P2 position. Too bad the engine couldn't hold up.

Lucky Webbers engine held up nicely, some nice points going his way.

Meh... Channel 10 ftl...

Fcking knob jockeys...

So much for the self-proclaimed 'home of motorsport'.. Meh...

Good work by Fisi in the FI... Keeping Heidfeld behind him for ages in what is a mediocre car...

Thank goodness Heikki was ok after the crash, that tyre/wheel failure looked horrid..

Good race by Kimi and Massa, nice to see Felipe didn't put it into the wall/gravel or some other obstacle, he drove quite a good race..

Yeh as soon as i saw that HK accident i was thinking, oops there goes the 14 years of fataility free racing. I cant believe that teh cars can submarine those tyre walls, They should be buried into the ground or teathered down.

But good to see Webber running reliably to 5th, i cant see RBR getting the pace that will make them podium contestors.

True to previous years, it seems Williams have lost the pace they showed early in the season :thumbsup: At least BMW and the worlds most beautiful Polish race driver are real contenders. Kubie is doing to Heidfled what Webber did. Only he has a more reliable car so its highlighted even more.

Nick to lose his seat at contract time for some hot young talent, or my tip a clever old Spanish Renault driver should he decide that Renault cant give him a shot at the title in 2009

On a side note, it is understood that Ecclestone informed the team that former Ferrari team principal Jean Todt was "locked on" to replace Mosley. 'It is just a question of how quickly you want him' was the gist of Ecclestone's commentary, according to the BBC

... great

this'll be MUCH better

webber is the man! nice solid boring race for 5th. my mate kubbie put in a solid one too. and of course kimi smashed them. I can't see anyone but kimi being WDC this year boys.

M3gtr's top 10 conclusions from the Spanish GP

1) Raikkonen will more than likely be WDC this year.

2) Ferrari for WCC

3) Webber still has what it takes but the Red Bull doesnt

4) Coulthard is getting senile

5) Kubica is the ugliest man on the grid ( he should stop doing interviews... ) but thankfully he's one of the fastest

6) Kovalainen played poker with the reaper and won

7) Alonso wasnt fuelled as light as many thought - his Renault also wasnt built as well as many thought.

8) Heidfeld and BMW are dumbasses for not seeing that the pitlane was closed.

9) We have seen the last of Super Aguri :rofl:

10) The Spanish GP was awesome.

point 8 is up is up for debate

what did you want him to do... run out of juice on track while he circulated under the safety car?

Its a rediculous rule that has caught more than a few drivers out now. Only when it destroys someones championship will they look to change it. Unfortunately it'll be too late by then, and once the inevitable shit hits the fan... again... it will further destroy any credibility this sport has

or had left

Point 4 is a good one tho... honeslty coulthard is dangerous

Thats now the third race he's "defended" his line only after getting to his braking point and swerving wildly infront of another diver. I mean he obviously saw the guy coming in and out braking him, so why just turn in on him just beofre the apex?

Ivan you got a point there. Yeah, i knew thats what the BMW press release said, but i dont 100% buy that.

You are right when you say this could screw up championship contention for some people if it happens to the wrong person at the wrong time...

That rule needs to be changed for sure.

Hes on his way out and we all know it. Scrapping with Sato in the closing stages surely must have been humiliating for him and even Sato in the lowly SA kept him honest for a number of laps. He got properly trounced in Quali to the tune of 10 whopping grid slots, his race craft this year has been terrible... what more needs to be said?

Its a shame because DC is one of the best drivers of my age and he's one of the old guard so you know, itll be sad to see him retire.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
