Well Williams Renault has a certain ring to it.

As does Lotus - Renault. In black. With some bloke called Senna driving.

Your Polish mate in the Renault is doing alot better than almost everyone thought this year. His team mate doesn't suck teh balls to anywhere near the extent I thought he would, come to that.

Bring back McConville I say. The yocals bore me to tears. The Brits are their usual one eyed selves. Still it is better than Murray Walker when Mansell was around.

yep, agree my polish bro is doing well. he is still about as appealing to look at as a donkeys arse crack but man he can drive. definitely punching above his weight at the moment.

you're right too petrov is not as shit as I thought he would be. doing a reasonable job of it so far.

All this BS of trying to break the tow? Come on. Drafting is part of motorsport, and is really the first principle for getting close enough to a car to get a tow, pull out and get the job done under brakes.

Even the FIA for a long time have written:

2. Overtaking, car control and track limits

b) Overtaking, according to the circumstances, may be carried out on either the right or the left.

However, manoeuvres liable to hinder other drivers, such more than one change of direction to defend a position, deliberate crowding of a car beyond the edge of the track or any other abnormal change of direction, are strictly prohibited.

Seems pretty clear to me that what Hamo did was as stupid and amatuerish as something i would do at the local go-kart track. The guy is more and more looking to be a great talent, but at the minute I would have to say the likes of Vettel and Kubica are maturing quicker then him, though they have not had the car and success that Hamo has.

A warning was the correct ruling, but frankly, he robbed us of another couple of fun racing laps. Remember Malaysia last year, Hamo and Webber? That was great racing and entertainment as they for 2-3 laps got past one another only for counter attacks to once again relegate them after compromised exits etc. Hamo just couldnt handle his amazing progress to that point being interruped by a rookie in a Renault so threw his dummy out the car and drove like a child.

LOL, above is harsh but generally true. Hamo is nowhere near as annoying as he used to be, but these sorts of things are the reason why i remember why i am not a fan

However, manoeuvres liable to hinder other drivers..... deliberate crowding of a car beyond the edge of the track ..... are strictly prohibited.

Come on Troy - how many times have you seen that happen & go unpunished? It is Webber's stock move most of the time & the rest of the field for that matter.

Thats a tougher one. With visibility what it is i think you have to give a little slack on the first lap until people work out who is where. But agree, it happens more often...but i dont think Webber and Kimi at Brazil is an example. Webber was moving over to the inside line and Kimi thought he would keep going to try and kers through to make a gap.

Funny, the most recent examples of crowding is Hamo at Monza in the wet in 2008. I am sure it has happened dozens of times between then and now and my bias has me remembering those incidents. But that was the more deliberate and intenational examples.

whatever happened to these sub 2 second pit stops red bull were claiming? they're no faster than anybody else

so why make the claim in the first place?

Maybe if they got Kimi in there for 2011, and return the fun to the team, they might turn back into 'that team' with the great parties and so and so. Their current duo dont seem to make everybody laugh and divide opinion like the iceman did.

I will be real curious to see if RBR are interested in Kimi. Webber would have to be mindful of not having a contract for next year in 2010s best car (so far)

I think Kimi is phenomenal, but i think he has hurt himself as he is more the pre 90s F1 driver. Living the good life, getting paid serious bank and only really drives the car. He isnt the " i will be oint eh factory for the 10days between GPs working with engineers type. It will be interesting to see if RBR are happy with Vettel developing the thing and then Kimi and Vettel racing them!?!??!

Every team is due for a bad car every few seasons, but whilst Kimi drove the wheels off a shitty Ferrari last year, i cant help but blame the fact for it being shitty in the first place on poor feedback from Kimi and Massa through 2008 and in testing 2009

lol, didn't take kimi long to fk years of punishing fitness regimes at the hands of his F1 masters. god I love him. he'd be even more likeable as a fat kunt.

I will spit chips if he takes webber seat though. I don't think it will happen but anything's possible.

whatever happened to these sub 2 second pit stops red bull were claiming? they're no faster than anybody else

yes the claim does seem a bit silly but I believe what they meant was actually changing the tyres takes less than 3 seconds - ie the car is already up on jacks it's purely the remove/refit operation.

As bad as that Buemi crash was..... did anyone else find it a little bit funny that he was trying to steer without any front wheels? lulz.

What a massive failure in the front end though! Very lucky that he wasnt injured. Just heard on fox news that Buemi says the crash was 'nothing serious'.... Lol WTF?

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
