Massa and Alonso look to have the speed. Cant see Button doing a brilliant job in his first race at McLaren whcih in the heat is going to require some driving around problems/setup. My dark horse for the only two that may knock off a Ferrari this weekend will be Rosberg and Webber

My tips for the weekend here:

1. Nico (He will break the drought, him and Schumi will lead 'Der Deutsches Arabiakorps' to victory in the desert!).

2. Nando.

3. Schumeister.

4. Captain chin.

5. Sebvet.

6. Massa.

7. Jenson.

8. Barry.

8. Der Hulk.

10. Captain nose.

Hammo will surely destroy either his tires, his brakes... Or both..

Guess What Guys.... Vettel is on top and Massa 2nd.. The new teams give them credit but they are not there yet... have to get another 5 secs of development...

and perhps Schumacher should have stayed home....My

wishes are Ferrari to rule with Alonso and Massa..

Well, thought i would be sneaky and get in with the first post for the 2010 season :nyaanyaa:

Overnight i read that Trulli and Heiki have been confirmed at Lotus. Not a bad driver line up for a new team looking to establish itself. At present based on the car's progress, the people and the drivers involved..i see Lotus perhaps being the strongest of the new teams.

and perhps Schumacher should have stayed home....

Ermm... yeah of course. There'd be serious questions surrounding Nico's signing at Merc had Schuey came out in race 1 and been faster than him.

I'm really interested to see how the tyre choices (for the start of the GP) are going to effect the outcome, and no real surprise to me to see Vettel take pole

great to be back, but the lap is far too long. if it was an intersting circuit i would understand, but im becoming less and less a fan of this sand box

this year will be great. with red bull out in front early, it'll be great to see if they can stick with Mclaren and ferrari in the development race. they caught brawn last year, but i think with these two will be a different story. Mclaren stared off 2 seconds off the pace last year, now its around 5 tenths and we saw how strong they came on in the end of last year.

I think they'll get swollowed up later on up in the year, but they defintely in with a shout of at least one title

I agree, vettel burnt up his rears a couple of times last year, in not very long stints. with the extra weight and heat over there, I doubt he'll last long up the front.

will qualifying pace even mean anything about their race pace with all that extra weight?

To some extent it would, but it'd mostly come down to how well the drivers can preserve their tyres and fuel loads come the end of the race.

Anyone else notice Sutil is the only bloke in the top ten who qualified in the top ten on the hards??? Could possibly see Sutil on the podium... Those Force Indias certainly have a fair lick of top speed...

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
