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??).

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 :)

    • How many of you guys run the synchro os giken set and at what power? Do you then also use the billet plate?  How is it launching with it, any dragy times from 0-60? 60ft?
    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
