Kimi has to win dont forget.

It was an excellent result, and its a bit of justice to Ferrari as everyone is complainin about they had the best tyres etc, but Ferrrari have been serverly hindered all year from the Michelans.

So its justice me thinks.

GO SCHUEY.

Yeah, although I would like to see someone other than schuey win, he deserves it. They changed the whole format of F1 to stop him from being so dominant and he's still going to win another championship, well done.

Spewing about Webber cauz he would have got his first podium for sure, same with Button. Oh well. Should be a good race at Suzuka anyway.

:( payback time ;)

In fact the comentators made the same comment last night - montoya was 2 laps down in 6th and had to come 5th to have a chance to win championship.

Interestingly, Heidfield (5th) was directly in front of him (but only 1 lap down).....they suggested that montoya should take him out and inherit 5th....

I think webber either has bad luck or isnt the best in wet conditions when he is on the wrong tyres. I think it was in Silverstone 02' he touched the white line in greasy conditions and spun off. Brazil this year was driving around on drys and crashed out in a big way, on monday morning crashed out for a similar reason blowing a definite podium and possible 5th in the constructors championship. Webber is still an awesome driver but would somone such as MS have lost it in the same circumstances.

Interesting point. He has the speed in the wet, you only have to look at his results in the wet races from FF in Aus to driving F3 for Arrows thru to F1. He seems to get great results in the wet/gresy conditions, just look at wet qualifying sessions etc. Maybe just needs to show a little more caution.

Its hard to know the facts though, plenty of other drivers went off. In Brazil was it a rain thing, or was there somthing down on the track that made him spear off?

Webber wouldnt of finished on the podium due to the simple fact jaguar are on michelins! And take it easy on him he wasnt the only one to spin off when it got too wet. Enricco as for justise to Ferrari haha what a joke they dont deserve shite after all the moaning they made about the michelins being too wide i think the Michelin teams should protest the bridgestone wet just to fcuck them off. thats all Ferrari deserve sore losers and sore winners aahh im seeing red:mad:

I agree silver thats what schuey deserves, wonder if jacques remembers might not need dc to pull a schuey :P

I think webber would have had a good shot at the podium, the michelins didnt slow Kimi down all that much. I do think we have alot to look forward to with Webber though. I mean i think the best way to measure a driver is against his team mates. In something like 32 starts webber has been out qualified twice and has scored something like 19 points to 1 or 2 against his team mates. Ok so Alex Yoong wasnt the best benchmark, but pizzonia and wilson are both good drivers who havent yet come close to webber. Will be very interesting when he gets a drive in one of the big 4 teams.

I agree, but i would like to see him stick at Jaguar for at least one more year, which looks to be the case.

If he goes to one of the big 4, it is always difficult to establish yourself especially if there is a driver entrenched there.

You see it all the time a very capable driver is made to look less capable due to team politics. Noone doubts Mark Skaifes ability, but look when he walked into HRT and the established Lowndes was his teamate and then later with Bright, JPM into Williams with Ralf.

Even dominant teams in F1 struggle to have drivers finish 1-2 in the championship, even in the glory days of Williams with Mansell/Patrese->Hill/JV & Coutlhard, and likewise with McLaren with Berger/Senna/Prost etc etc.

Equal equipment doesnt always mean equal opportunity even in teams with no recognised No.1, engineering support, testing, whose car gets the new parts before the other, who gets the older chassis?

Just in. JV is gooone. Sata will be replacing him. Feel sorry for him. Rose to stardom then fell from grace. BAR was a big mistake.

Chances are he'll be out in the cold for 04 but Jaguar haven't signed anyone up for Webber's team mate.

Probably for 2 reasons he won't get a drive with Jordan.

1. Next year Jordan may be getting Mercedes engines. Alexander Wurz is a good recruitment cause he KNOWS mercedes engines and also has the mclarens know-how. Very valuable knowledge to be gained from him if they do get mercedes engines.

2. Jordan get extra sponsorship $ from Benson & Hedges for having an english driver. Leaves JV sh*t out of luck.

hey silver, what's this "i want to have JV's babies" thing. I'm sure the bloke can drive, but his attitude is *disgraceful*. If I was running a company sponsoring BAR I'd be looking to have him out on his arse too!

He's so busy trying to psyche out and beat his teammates that he forgets to race against his competitors....

I don't want JV's babies. But I'll have Senna's if he was still around!

Yeah since eddie ervine's gone JV's the motor mouth in the pits. Next I'd say is Ralf. Rule 1 in F1 - never bag your own team/car.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
