Pumped, come on RBR, hopefully Brawn have dropped the ball a little with latest aero and the top 6 is the 2 x RBRs, the two Toyotas and Rosberg and Alonso. :)

Be awesome if Webebr can get to within striking distance of Rubens.... should i be hoping for rain on race day? :P ... because P3 is wet :D

Hamilton out in Q1. Ego has to be bruised.

Once again pat on the back for Nakajima, assuming his racing concentration improves he looks like the fastest Japanese driver in F1 for a while (or ever??).

Edited by wolverine

Session ended and Vettel pips Webber ... again :(

But Webber just did the one early run and looked supreme on the hard tyres. Its going to be interesting Q3! :) RBR look to have the sort of advantage Brawn had in Australia, assuming the soft tyres are worth a few tenths ists going to be a two car race :) Awesome ! :)

Webber is going to need a very good start to give himself a chance of winning the race. Vettel looks on track for another race win with his fuel load and options this opens up.

1. Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull, 666.5 kg

2. Rubens Barrichello, Brawn GP, 657.5

3. Mark Webber, Red Bull, 659.5

4. Jarno Trulli, Toyota, 658

5. Kazuki Nakajima, Williams, 652.5

6. Jenson Button, Brawn GP, 657.5

7. Nico Rosberg, Williams, 661.5

8. Timo Glock, Toyota, 660

9. Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari, 654

10. Fernando Alonso, Renault, 654

11. Felipe Massa, Ferrari, 675

12. Robert Kubica, BMW Sauber, 689.5

13. Heikki Kovalainen, McLaren, 695.5

14. Nelson Piquet, Renault, 682.5

15. Nick Heidfeld, BMW Sauber, 665.5

16. Giancarlo Fisichella, Force India, 668

17. Sebastien Bourdais, Toro Rosso, 687.5

18. Adrian Sutil, Force India, 692

19. Lewis Hamilton, McLaren, 666

20. Sebastien Buemi, Toro Rosso, 672.5

I applaud you guys being patriotic and all but lets get realistic here, Mark was already slower than Vettel in the first sector before he came across Kimi on that lap. Excuses excuses.... Karma's a bitch innit!

Great lap from Vettel considering he's is going to go for the longest in the first stint tonight, and it looks as though RBR haven't compromised his strategy for this GP either.

look,im almost as biger MW fan as Roy, but what you are saying is correct, SV is generally quicker in qualifying, He just has to be more consistent during the race. Thats where MW is still a more superior drver. put it down to experience or what ever but MW is driving better so far this season. SV is still young and has a massive career infront of him.

Sorry I can't agree. I think the difference is that RBR have compromised Vettel with the race strategies they've adopted. IMHO (not trying to start a flame war) Vettel is a far superior driver than Mark

Mark would have easily potted the front row if not for Kimi. Would it have been first or second? He was slower then Vettel in sector 1, but with his lighter fuel load he could have used that weight advantage to pull back the 0.013 or whatever it was. But point is he would have had a shot at the lead from the front row, he is now 3rd back and lighter with fuel then those ahead of him.

Only hope is the first lap has a few dramas and Webber can slip ahead for a few laps to see if he can do a dash. I dare think that even if Webber can get to teh front. lol remember what he did with his P2 last year at Slverstone :P he wont be able to do a dash and be ahead after the first round of stops. :P

Anyway, at least he is up there, and really looks like he is racing for that 3rd step at the moment :)

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
