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

Vettel was hampered one race due to the pre-determined strategy (that should have been changed), Webber was hampered on one race when he was refueled 2 laps early. So your point is?

RBR strategies haven't been helpful to either driver on those occasions. If Vettel hadn't had such a slow middle stint last race (and he was slower than Webber) on similar fuel and tyres then he wouldn't have been bitching after the fact. Vettel was catching him at the end but he couldn't pass Button (earlier in the race) and he wasn't going to get past Webber either.

Vettel will be bitterly disappointed if he doesn't win tonite as he has placed himself in the box seat with his raw speed and healthy fuel load i will be cheering him on for a RBR 1-2 finish. He will only get better with more experience but at this point they are pretty close as race drivers, certainly there isn't a yawning chasm.

Funny thing is though, I can't remember MW slamming into the back of anyone and destroying their race...

Vettel is fast for sure, but he doesn't have the whole package atm. Webs beating him 5 out of 7 times this year proves that.

Also boo kimi, and LOL @ hamilton!

For some reason, I'm really looking forward to tonight! Can't wait!

I saw an interview yesterday about Melb and next year and they said they will def do F1. So if there is a breakaway and they come to Aus, it more than likely wont be Albert Park.

They also quickly interviewed Tander and he basically said who cares if they break away, all the history is with F1 not the new series. True, but fark me who watches it cause of the history? If the teams go, the public will follow them, especially if all FOTA goes.

You guys have obviously missed my point and I'm not that interested in starting debates in relation to Mark Webber, especially not with MW fan boys who are obviously so one eyed. Like I said on the previous page... I applaud your patriotic support for him however I will not join in with the rejoicing.

Where exactly did I state that Mark ran into the back side of someone and ruined their race? I also think that you're kidding yourselves if you think Kimi really did cost Mark the pole!

I love the history in it, I've been watching F1 for 24 odd years now. Having said that I think Tander is kidding himself if he thinks that F1 will continue to have a following if the likes of Ferrari, McLaren, Renault, Toyota, BMW, RBR, STR and Brawn create a 'break away' series.... The history will follow because alot of the (recent) history was created by these teams that are united under FOTA.

You didn't say that he did....you just obviously missed the point I was trying to make with what I said. (Vettel the 'far superior' driver did slam into the back of Webber...)

Anyway start is in 15 mins :rofl: Hope it's a good race and go RBR!

Anyone know wtf happened with Kimi?

How the hell did Massa make 4 spots in the first round of stops...was it just that he stayed out those few laps extra or did I miss something else?

In 1 stop he got Trulli, Raikkonen, Button and Nakajima

lol at Alonso having zero traction coming out of Club corner... Heidfeld cheats I swear, widest car on the friggen grid! :rofl:

Superb drive by Seb, was very masterful today. I won't use the term 'Schumacher-esque', but even in his youth, he is displaying qualities quite alike to the 7 times world champ..

Still think Mark has a better racing brain though, also uses his tyres better, but Seb has got the edge with raw speed...

Nice to see Rubens put 1 on Jenson! C'mon Rubinho! :)

I understand the patriotism but i don't think mark can match vettel, for some reason vettel just seems to dominate, and have the right strategy.

And the times webber is running real nice and quick the strategy just doesn't seem to help him out, or he gets stuck behind some tosser and can't seem to pass until its too late.

Mark shows times of brilliance like the passing move on alonso few races back, things like that only appear once every few races with mark.

Vettel destroyed the rest of the pack, every lap +1 sec quicker, lap after lap after lap.

This new championship would be awesome, and if they have a race at surfers i am soo there !!!

it would be much better than that crap indy car.

Hopefully we see more aussie drivers in the new breakway series !!!

That would be real nice !!!

If the admin is under moto gp as suggested, imagine having a moto gp race AND a F1 race straight after

now that would be awesome !!!!

Yep my sentiments exactly. The history is great, but people aren't going to watch no name teams just because Ferrari once ran in the same series.

They had a view poll on OneHD during the pre race, and 67% said they would follow the FOTA teams.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
