Mercedes GP are to contimue supplying engines to the various team upto 2015, but are selling/have sold their 40% share of Mclaren.

Roseberg has hit the jackpot, Heidfeld makes a lucky escape yet again

If button doest get his Mac seat, he's well and truely fcukd

... bye kimi, was great while it lasted

75% share...just on the news here in the UK. Will be interesting who they sign. Talk is it will e be the German superteam of Heidfeld and Rosberg....but if Mercedes want Vettel over Heidfeld i can see them paying lots of money to RBR allowing them to afford Kimi.

How good is it that I find this out via Al-Jazeera.....

Got to love extremists and their die hard attitude for F1

TATA Motors inbound and Button with Louise at Mac-Homo.

I can also see a slide down the grid for Team GB already.

Kimi at RBR with Webber!

Shaun, it isn't called the silly season for nothing.

Heidlfeld part of a German superteam? He is a chance of limping in for some finishes when the cards fall the right way.

Rosberg finally gets his shot which is good for him but without Vettel they are hardly the best German pairing.

I wonder what Haug meant by a few surprises, Can RBR really be interested in Merc engines, enough to swap Vettel and a wad of cash whereby affording Kimi? The more i think about the more i want it to be true! I ddi read that RBR even thought no announcement has been made have continued with the design of next years car around the Renault V8

Absolutely they still need to be designed around an engine. Dont forget the Brawn was one of th emost sensitive on the gri to overheating, i recall two races where they were turning the engine down due to temps and one of those races they hacked away at side pods on race day to get better cooling,

Also, the engine you run influences the gearbox you are most likely going to end up running which means the hydraulics are going to be different etc etc...so you want to get the engine in the back of the car ASAP, especialy in the current era of F2 whn hundredths of a second matter

I aware of that and I'm not insinuating that's it's as simple as just dropping different engines into different chassis', but I think with modern F1 cars where the engine is part of the chassis it's maybe not as difficult as it once was..... Obviously the earlier they have a confirmed chassis/engine combo the easier the deal is for all designers and engineers

top three guys in the top three teams, with red bull the dark horse

Whoever partners hammo will be pretty hard team to stop

Brawn/Mercedes with Roseberg will be a contender for sure

Nando will be like a pitpull off a leash at team jihad after 2 years in the sin bin

Vettel and webber to pick up steady podiums

the 2010 n00bs are in for a tough season. points looks very hard to come by now

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
