doesn't say much for Button, does it?

who are they both driving for respectively this year?

No it doesn't say much for Button at all.. and in all fairness, both Rubens and Jenson have been given two dud cars the last two seasons... It is a shame, both are pretty good drivers, and in regards to Rubens, he nailed the podium at Silverstone in 08, no one expected it. Rubens scored more and was overall, more consistant than Jenson, you never would've been a Piquet or Patrese as motivated as Rubens are all this time, yet Barichello is as fit and determined as ever... Which is a shame, he deserves better, although I so think IF he constests this years championship, he should leave after this one. I hope he gets the send off he deserves... He has been a fantastic patron for Formula 1, and us fans shouldn't forget that...

Ferrari evaluate pit system

Ferrari appears on schedule to bring back its controversial 'traffic lights' pitstop system for the 2009 season.

The Italian team abandoned the unique automated system late last season following several incidents, including at the Singapore Grand Prix where Felipe Massa dragged the fuel hose down the pitlane.

Team Manager Luca Baldisserri, however, said recently that engineers have improved the system so that the car will be electronically prevented from driving away if the fuel hose is attached.

It has now emerged that Ferrari trialled the revised system, which by the use of sensors, buttons and lights replaces the traditional 'lollipop' holder, at the recent Bahrain test.

lets just hope it works this time lol

True, I mean as much I like racing games, I've always had a but of a soft spot for management, be it F1, soccer..

Has anyone here ever done the Formula 1 'dream team' online thing before??

I've done it the last 2 years on sportal...Actually did quite well last year too. Can't remember exact numbers, but I finished in the top 200 or so out of 12,000 or however many were on it...

lets just hope it works this time lol

I don't get why they bother, after it pretty much cost them the WDC...

    • I even asked ChatGPT 4 for you       The RPM limit for an RB25DET head with hydraulic lifters, 80lb valve springs, and new valve guides typically falls around 7,000 to 7,500 RPM. Here are some key points to consider: 1. **Hydraulic Lifters**: Hydraulic lifters are generally more limited in high-RPM performance compared to solid lifters due to potential issues with lifter pump-up, which can cause valve float. This often caps the RPM limit around 7,000 to 7,500 RPM. 2. **Valve Springs**: The 80lb valve springs are an upgrade over stock and provide better control at higher RPMs, but they are still somewhat constrained by the limitations of the hydraulic lifters. 3. **Valve Guides**: New valve guides can improve the stability and longevity of the valve train, allowing it to handle higher RPMs more reliably, but they do not significantly raise the RPM limit imposed by the hydraulic lifters. In summary, while the 80lb valve springs and new valve guides enhance the performance and reliability of the head, the use of hydraulic lifters is the main limiting factor, keeping the safe RPM ceiling in the 7,000 to 7,500 range. For higher RPM capabilities, converting to solid lifters would be necessary, along with further upgrades to the valve train.
    • FWIW the packing will have come from a muffler, not the cat; they have a metallic honeycomb (if the innards are still there)
    • If you can get access to the data for any R series GTR from the dyno settings or manufacturer, that will be close enough for all 4wd R series and Stagea, it is 99% the same
    • After recently being on a dyno, It seems I'm losing out on a fair bit of power with my RPM soft cut at 7600rpm and a gen2 6466. It's a fully Ferrea built S1 RB25 head with new hydraulic lifters. Can it safely be reved higher? If so, to what?  I'm thinking I can safety increase it to 7800RPM.
