Read an interesting interview wth Newey the other day and the development on the RB6. He said that Vettel and Webber both played a big role in developing the car and that Webz was particulary in tune with the aero development and the impact of wind on the car. At the time it made me think about how Webber almost got pole in 2008 and ended up 2nd on the grid. It was a very windy day and came from nowhere to put it on the front row.

Yesterday, again it was windy with so many cars having issues and going off due to the wind at Maggotts and Becketts corner....and again Webber was clear with 0.3sec up his sleeve. I wonder if for whatever reason Mark handles the instability of varyign effects of wind on the car better then some other drivers????

Webber for pole beating the sour kraut by 6 hundredths.

And this is with Vettel's old chassis, Luscious Liz, the one that supposedly has 'something wrong' with it, right?

Interesting insight Roy

I believe the RB's will be tough to beat with Capt Chin taking the

silverware, I'matool will throw it into the weeds hard, or complain that MW gets special

treatment as the team fixed his "hack" chassis.

Louise and Jenson to fight for fourth and fifth.

Alfalfa will grab 2nd

And just for Sh@un;

The Baron to grab 3rd

COME ON SCHUMI!!!!!!!!!

Well I like Webz but I am as practical and realistic as they come. Most weekends I know Webber is a chance but normally expect Vettel to out qualify Webber. I think with the mistakes that everybody is making this weekend , i suspect Webber after the disaster of last race will pull together this weekend, starting with a pole in 25 minutes time.

...but , please, please anything but Vetool giving us the backwards "finger", Hopefully messes up and ends up back in teh pack and the Ferraris and Williams get up into the Top 6

    • Maybe it's time for a M3 F80 LCI, and leave it stock.  Drive it to a shop, sip on your latte with nutmeg whilst it gets serviced and on the way home swing by and grab some chai mix for the evening.
    • Great work! Thanks for documenting the process.
    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
