I've never been a Webber fan for many reasons and I'll stick my neck out this early in the season and say that Vettel will score more WDC points than Webber this year.

Most people see the year going the same way as you. I dont doubt its possible, but i think Webber will be in there confirming his potential and the belief some people have in him. IF Vettel is quicker Webber will lift. Question is if Vettel is quicker can Webber lift enough to go lap for lap with him over a race?

I dont think you are really sticking your neck out, i think i am the one sticking my neck out stating that Webber will have his measure this year. :) Either way it will be great to get a good measure of how good Webber actually is, wanting to know is what is important to me. Doesnt matter if he is justa good driver or one of the top few.

LOL, look at Button, a decent car under him and all of a sudden he is looking like a World Champion ;) LOL, Alonso should have jumped ship and chased the money and the best car on the grid :down:

I'm with you troy. webber is as good as any of these clowns, and I reckon he'll have a few surprises for vets. sure the young fella is quick, but I too reckon webber will have his measure this year. webber has punished some highly fancied team mates, vettel has not really had that challenge yet in F1.

Webs and Vettel close again in practice. Webs just pipping him. So good to see the two drivers going withing hundredths of a second of one another. Hopefully they go aggressive in qualifying and go low fuel, enough for only 6 or 7 laps with the soft tyre. Try and lead off the front, grab the harder tyre which is more consitant and punch out laps in free air and do two longer stints on the harder tyres.

You read it here first, thats the only strategy that will see them with any chance of catching a podium. The Brawns got twice as much life out of the soft tyre then the other teams. :blink:

Nah, Brawn still have a clear pace advantage, did you see how mnay laps they were able to get out of the soft tyre> And how they were quick over all the laps with no decay in lap times wen on them? :blink:

The are clearly superior and now that there cars are deemed legal they probably wont be foxing so much

What would make sense on the soft tyre???

6-7 laps, real light first stint on the super softs.. Followed by one long or two shorter stints on the medium compound.. Followed by another 5-6 lap sprint on the super softs once again...

Seriously, can at least ONE TEAM do something unconventional for once???

I'm thinking Ferrari 3 stopping in Hugary 1998, Ferrari 3 stopping in Brazil 2000, and Schumacher's/Brawn's brilliant 4 stopper in France 2004...

Full wets on a dry track is pretty f**king unconventional, and stupid!! Ferrari are plucking ideas out of a hat, gone are the Schumacher/Brawn supremacy days.

Soft tyres on a green track is a bad idea, a short first stint puts you back into the pack and then you get slowed down. You are better off running longer on hard tyres then doing a splash 'n' dash on the soft tyres at the end.

If you can short fuel and qualify up top and romp away from the pack for about 10-12 laps then maybe, but not many cars can make super softs work that long. I guess even if you do end up behind other cars it's slightly easier to overtake now than previously. Be interesting to see the KERS cars on the long straights.

Depends where you qualify. If you havea quick car and stuck in traffic then you are losing tenths of not seconds each lap. Throw a light fuel load in, soft tyres and have a go at getting on the front two rows and getting a stormer of a start and try to do a bit of a dash.

If you pit 7 laps into the race you are going to come out at the tail of the field with no traffic to hold you up meaning you can punch out laps as quick as tyre conservation will allow. IF you come up on a car then they will be back markers so easier to pass, and the cars ahead will be peeling off ahead of you. Then at the end of the race your car will be at its quickest and ready to race while everybody else will be carrying a wounded car on shit tyres.

Trust me, i am the supreme son of rajab of strategy :stupid:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
