Webbers not running light either

For the 2009 season, the FIA are making public the weights of all cars ahead of the race start to help give an idea of relative fuel loads. The cars that made Q3 are weighed after qualifying, while the weights of the remaining cars must be declared by their teams shortly after the session.

Below is the provisional grid for the German Grand Prix with each car's weight. Note - Toyota’s Timo Glock has dropped from 19th to 20th after being penalised for blocking Renault’s Fernando Alonso during qualifying.

1. Mark Webber, Red Bull, 661kg. - roughly lap 20

2. Rubens Barrichello, Brawn GP, 647 - lap 14

3. Jenson Button, Brawn GP, 644 - lap 15

4. Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull, 661 - lap 20

5. Lewis Hamilton, McLaren, 654.5 - lap 17/18

6. Heikki Kovalainen, McLaren, 664.0 - lap 21

7. Adrian Sutil, Force India, 678.5 - lap 28

8. Felipe Massa, Ferrari, 673.5 - lap 26

9. Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari, 674 - lap 26/27

10. Nelson Piquet, Renault, 676

11. Nick Heidfeld, BMW Sauber, 681

12. Fernando Alonso, Renault, 668.2

13. Kazuki Nakajima, Williams, 683.6

14. Jarno Trulli, Toyota, 683.7

15. Nico Rosberg, Williams, 689.6

16. Robert Kubica, BMW Sauber, 673.5

17. Sebastien Buemi, Toro Rosso, 674.5

18. Giancarlo Fisichella, Force India, 662.5

19. Sebastien Bourdais, Toro Rosso, 689.5

20. Timo Glock, Toyota, 662.3

Also I've added a rough estimate of when they should be pitting for fuel provided driver and car = 605kg and including formation lap etc as the nurburgring should be about 2.4/2.5 kg of fuel per lap, so if all goes well tomorrow and pending strategies should be

webber

vettel

and I'll have to say sutil if he goes incident free followed by the brawns but ofcourse being a Ferrari supporter I'd like them to be able to build enough of a lead over the brawns and come in to the top 5 if they get their strategies right!

If Webz gets up tomoz i am going to hit the town and shag any Indian bird that will have me and call all our offspring Webz!!!!!! :)

Sounds better than this offer...

A few simple words. FFS get it off the line Mark. I WILL run down the main roa of Hyderabad naked if he gets up for his first win...come on Webz!

That would do more damage to Aust/Indian relationship than any thugs could do here.

Cant i do both, i mean the shagging bit wont take more then a few seconds :D

And amazing effort from Sutil. He really seems to shine in the variable conditions, based on his fuel load he could very well of been even higher. He has a flexible race strategy from where he is on the grid and could be in for a great result

I so hope Webz gets up this weekend, but at the same time will be massively pissed off i am not there, especially when you think that a friends workmate has my ticket to ther Ford Kurve grandstand :)

Awesome. What date is it? I am in and out of Singapore and have free accom there. What are the tickets worth? Just stay away from the Four Floors and you will have a great trip :thumbsup:

I was meant to be in Germany for this weekend, but again my leave was d1cked by project delays. So flogged off the GBP415 ticket to my mate from the UK who was going to meet me there...but have other plans now :3some: But still need to ensure that i do my 3 GPs in 2009 promise. Asian GPs are far cheaper then European GPs

Cheers roy, i am almost counting down the days ;) It starts about september 25 or 26, im there for 5 or 6 days. The ticket was around 1100-1300 AUD, i try to forget these things but i can check if you really care. I made sure i got a seat about half way up the grandsand so i can see over the fence. Its actually at the end of the turn one grandstand almost at the start of the second one, they pretty much touch each other. From there i have a good view of the first 3 turns, a massive screen and can see the drivers come out of pit lane at the end of the straight just before turn 1.

Anyway it is fkn awesome to see webber finally get pole, fingers crossed he can get his first win tonight :)

Geezus, the Malaysian GP tickets were only $600 or so and that was for the main stand with awesome view of a bunch of corners. So much for Asian GPs beng cheaper :3some: Hopefully this project will be over by September and i will be back in the office in Singapore...but not likely :thumbsup:

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
