Get him in there now and get RB out. Let Senna start off with Brawn right from the beginning.

Slow ass Button can develop the car and Senna can score some points and nudge some tyre barriers along the way.

I'd f*ck off Button and keep Rubens after last year... Plus Rubens and Brawn had a very good working relationship and many years operating with one another. I think under the current circumstances, that will be invaluable.. Also, Button drove like a droop last year.. Rubens did very well for with a crappy car, outscored and outdrove a much younger teammate.. I thikn that proves Rubens is still fit and has fire in the belly! :banana:

I agree, if i was going to give Senna a seat i woudl bin Jensen. He is paid more, through his many years with Honda has never really been able to click with the team and develop a crew or car around him. Rubens did more on occasion then Jensen though i think Jensen was at the end of the day was consistantly quicker, he just was never there to pick up the pieces and muscle the car up the grid when opportunities presented itself.

So i would take Rubens and the cash saving and sell of Jesen, thing is sponsors dont want to see two Brazilians in a team so...woudl never happen. Plus at the moment i think Senna is more name then capability

Hahaha heiki has been bottom of time charts all through testing, by the way button ended 4th in the monday barcalona testing after leading the whole day, we can't be negative of senna just yet, although I do feel that he is a better driver than some on the grid if it's not going to happen now then possibly within next few years, having seen some of his gp2 I'd say atleast give him a go for force India LOL

Also looks like the mclaren cars aren't doing that great in testing

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
