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

    • Hell, I'm sufficiently wary of the ZSS suspension arms, let alone something like a hub.
    • Got it back home and got started pulling the hub off and diagnose the issue. Axle was stuck after removing the 36mm nut so i used a 3 jaw puller to try and push it out and... eH5FXvJ8.mp4   spend the next few hours trying to remove the axle from the remaining hub as it was very much jammed in there when the spindle sheared off. resulting damage as below R53AIy6 - Imgur.mp4   Looks like the was already a stress fracturing in the spindle as can be seen with the darker cracked section My working theory is maybe when the pinion gear exploded last year the shock put through the hub was the initial crack. Then a few events later it finally let go. Just lucky it happened where it did and not 190km/h on the next sweeper or into the hairpin The bearing/hub assembly went in in 2019 and were non-genuine "ZSS" assemblies and no nails were harmed in the process. #BreakHubsNotNails
    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
