A number one driver who has shown little motivation if at all in the last 2 seasons. Frankly I'm srprised Luca has tolerated it thus far. I can't see how Schueys return will harm developement for next years car......

well I'm a bit confused about how I feel about it too. I kind of feel that once you make a big deal and do the big retirement thing that should be it. it hasn't worked for anyone else who made a comeback (alan jones.....). but on the other hand I am very excited just to see schumacher race one more time. I loved watching him every single time he took to the track.

I actually do partly agree with djr81. it's probably not a good thing long term, but i think the other guys are right. most of the ferarri guys will accept that they are doing this so as not to make massa feel bad and it makes the team look good and gives them a chance to flog a shitload of surplus schumacher merchandise....

hell, I'm wracking my brain to think of which of the remaining races I can get to just to see the guy race one more time.

He can (will) ruin it simply by his presence. If you have seen Kimi in the pitlane when Schumacher is about you will already have seen how little he is wanted. Schumacher simply serves to divert the teams attention away from their future & their frontline driver(s).

Put simply they should have drafted someone who will be of use to them in years to come. Not someone who is out of practice, out of training & generally out of time.

As for BMW leaving - four things come to mind:

1. Their 3 year plan for world domination didn't quite come off, did it lads.

2. Serves you bloody well right to abandonining Frank & his team.

3. Speaks poorly of the future of F1 from a manufacturers point of view if one with BMW history & market position can no longer justify it.

4: I blame Chris Bangle. Sure, it's not his fault, but that is not going to stop me blaming him anyway.

yeah, BMW fked williams over very nicely. payback is a bitch.

as for kimi though, I don't think he'll be worried about MS too much. he's far more concerned with strippers, coke, champagne etc than with keeping his job or impressing his bosses. he also enjoys occasionally driving an F1 car.

Yeh, i am in London at the moment and the BBC just did a story that Ferari have announced MS is back to support the team and his mate Massa.

Trgaedy what happened on the weekend. I was shit scared on Monday when i was driving an R400 Caterham at Spa with stuff hitting my helmet all day...thnakully it was only rubber and bugs but was in the front of my mind every session. :merli:

Interesting times with all the goings ons in F1 at the moment

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
