Good on Jensen and Rubens though. Button deserves to win after all his time in F1.

I can't believe Brawn GP won on its debut. And I can't believe Barrichello switched to Brawn GP after all his time with Ferrari. It's a pretty risky career move for both jensen and rubens to switch from teams that have years of experience in F1 to a fresh team that has never competed before.

Maybe it's the best career move yet for both.

We'll see what Brawn GP has for us for the rest of the season.

Makes me wonder how Ferrari will fare this year with new competition....

its not like they had a choice of where to go since everyone else had their drivers pretty much confirmed.....brawm gp is essentially honda with new engine parts, only team left and they were both in it before.....so why not

Yeh, awesome to see Brawn 1-2. Shame to see Vettel trip with Kubiza. Sux that Rubens plouhged into Webz, with all the drama of the race the RBR looked quick and with no damage on the car Webz could have easily finished ahead of Hamilton/Trulli.

Oh well, will have to wait to Malaysia....but the Brawn is simply too quick. It is miles ahead of the other cars for pace. Rubens in a beaten car was able to recover for 4th on merit, inherit 2nd. ANd Jensen was criusing with just mintaining gaps he didnt have to work all that hard to get. Then threw away time in a pitstop and was still comfortable. The car is simply a rocket ship. I dont like the fact that i like Button as i want to hate him as some parts of me do... :( ?!?!?! But its good to see the guy who has stuck with that team/people through the little bit of good but mostly bad get a result.

Will be interesting how close it is between Rubens and Button...but a strong tip that either the other teams will quickly catch up or a sneakign suspicion the Diffuser 3 will be banned as a result of Renault and Ferrari complaints about how they approached the FIA and were told not to continue their work on similar designs as they were deemed illegal

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
