F1's not going anywhere. It's no big deal. There'll be another tyre supplier deal soon enough.

Sure some of these street/desert circuits are a yawn, but there's still a whole heap of decent tracks.

Ok, trying to not be a prima donna here... However, this is going from bad, to worse, to completely f*cking ridiculous... Big teams are pulling out, F1 loosing its sole tyre supplier, Goodyear is committed elsewhere (USA, Drag scene... ect), Pirrelli are Italian and inherently useless... Firestone are basically bridgestone anyway, and Michelin will probably just tell F1 to go f*ck itself... What then? Dunlop???? Oh f*cking YAY!

Some strange stories doing the rounds! Latest is that Button is doing the rounds and did a tour at McLaren with Whitmarsh. Button is pissed at Brawn for not coughing up the dollars and McLaren pissed at Kimi for asking too many dollars.

My attempt at a far fetched silly season change is Merc convince Mac Attack to lift the veto on RBR using Mercedes engines if they get Vettel. RBR lose Vettel, but get a great engine, a big cash payout for Vettel freeing up budget for development and meeting the terms of Kimi. The other week there were stories that Kimi was talking to RBR and people simply assumed it would result in Webber losing his seat. The strange thing at the time was when questioned Webber welcomed the idea saying that he would be a good fit for the team...a strange thing to say at the time. He also said the contracts are signed but would work themselves out...so either he was having a bit of fun with the media or there was batering going on for Vettel.

An RBR pairing of Kimi and Webber is no weaker then the Vettel-Webber. Newey knows the guy and would know whether he is better/worse then Vettel and could be a force in the background.

LOL, but it wont happen :(

Button holds talks with McLaren in Woking

tell you what

that would be an excellent partnership, maybe even better than the kimi/hammo dynamic

i think they'd be a great "team", where kimi and lewis would create a somewhat incompatible and inevitably spiteful relationship

... fkn excellent to watch either way

Watch the UK press just cream their pants if that happens; Two British drivers in a strong British team. Tabloid heaven.

watch the shit storm rain down on them when thay come second and third instead of fist and second in melbounre

you can read the scathing headlines now

its pretty much the only reason i woud like to see kimi in there, an all brittish team would disintegrate almost as fast as an all italian one

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
