Unless I'm mistaken Richard, wasn't that the 107% rule? Not 110%...

Either which way I agree with Webbers statements too, it goes for most sportsmen in general...

1989 grand final, when Dipper and Dermy both played on with a punctured lung and bruised liver respectively, both with internal bleeding and both winding up in hospital post game.... Now look at the pansyfl.... All full of do-gooders and soft-cocks...Everyone may as well give up and play soccer and badminton.. Motorsport has definitely gone the same way..

I believe it may have been changed from 107% to 110% before they finally got rid of it. I guess the FIA decided they'd rather have a full grid than a field of decent cars, much like this year.

lulz - sneaky little kents. Might make 10km/h more on the straights.

Goooo Team!

Payback for '09 diffuser. Will be funny if the other teams don't have the chassis design to accomodate it :P

More interested then ever about some of the inner team battles.

My thoughts Alonso to pip Massa. Lewis to be comfortable against Button.... Just how good is Rosberg and hwo much did the surgery and injury affect Webber last year? COME ON WEBZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5 hours to go to P1 2010! :cheers:

I am working in Singapore at the moment and our office is just down the road from a Ferrari dealership. Well about 3 hours ago ther ewas about 15-20 cars from Californias, F430 and a few Scuds and 599s all driving down the road in formation. I am wandering if its a group hand feed / admiration thing coinciding with the kick off for F1 2010

Webz has broken the car ... again. I want to know what the full story was with Geoff Willis (was former technical director at RBR) leaving mid last year. The car was unreliable befor ehe joined, and sicne leaving the car has gone back to its unreliable 2007 ways...just like Jag used to be and often Newey cars are ??? :blush:

FP session 2 Commentary

14:15

Hamilton reports that his rear tyres are destroyed after just four laps.

14:16

That does not bode well, because he is on the hard tyres.

14:16

The softs are even more fragile.

14:16

What's more he only has two sets of each compound to use during practice.

14:17

Tyre wear on heavy fuel loads is a serious concern in the hot weather in Bahrain this weekend. What we don't know about Hamilton's destroyed tyres is how many laps he had already put on them in the first session.

I agree we don't have much of an idea as to how many laps those tires MAY have done prior to FP2, but either way... LOL, given any hot GP's this year, and I think anyone could safely discount Louise... Unless he tweaks and adjusts his aggressive driving style this side of soon...

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
