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.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
