doesn't say much for Button, does it?

who are they both driving for respectively this year?

No it doesn't say much for Button at all.. and in all fairness, both Rubens and Jenson have been given two dud cars the last two seasons... It is a shame, both are pretty good drivers, and in regards to Rubens, he nailed the podium at Silverstone in 08, no one expected it. Rubens scored more and was overall, more consistant than Jenson, you never would've been a Piquet or Patrese as motivated as Rubens are all this time, yet Barichello is as fit and determined as ever... Which is a shame, he deserves better, although I so think IF he constests this years championship, he should leave after this one. I hope he gets the send off he deserves... He has been a fantastic patron for Formula 1, and us fans shouldn't forget that...

This is a cool little link - a kinda 2009 rules for dummies video - http://link.brightcove.com/services/player...tid=10497901001

nice video,

didn't know kerbs was going to use to boost the power for 6 seconds, should make things interesting to see which teams will run it from the start

True, I mean as much I like racing games, I've always had a but of a soft spot for management, be it F1, soccer..

Has anyone here ever done the Formula 1 'dream team' online thing before??

Ferrari evaluate pit system

Ferrari appears on schedule to bring back its controversial 'traffic lights' pitstop system for the 2009 season.

The Italian team abandoned the unique automated system late last season following several incidents, including at the Singapore Grand Prix where Felipe Massa dragged the fuel hose down the pitlane.

Team Manager Luca Baldisserri, however, said recently that engineers have improved the system so that the car will be electronically prevented from driving away if the fuel hose is attached.

It has now emerged that Ferrari trialled the revised system, which by the use of sensors, buttons and lights replaces the traditional 'lollipop' holder, at the recent Bahrain test.

lets just hope it works this time lol

I've done it the last 2 years on sportal...Actually did quite well last year too. Can't remember exact numbers, but I finished in the top 200 or so out of 12,000 or however many were on it...

lets just hope it works this time lol

I don't get why they bother, after it pretty much cost them the WDC...

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
