In the space of a race weekend when word gets out of what RBRs quali secret was Ferrari have caught up with quali pace and typically both McLaren and Ferrari have superior race pace...will be interesting if what they are saying about the difference tyre performance is true, they are predicting two stops.

RBR will have a tough run to the Abu Dabi from here...

If the race weekend goes as i predict/hope : Alonso, Vettel, Webber, Massa, Button & Homo then the points will close up at the top.

153 _ Lewis Hamilton

143 _ Jenson Button (+10)

143 _ Mark Webber (+10)

139 _ Sebastian Vettel (+14)

123 _ Fernando Alonso (+30)

096 _ Nico Rosberg (+57)

With Alonso upfront and Massa in the mix then the RBRs need to capitalise and take points from McLaren.

Roy you give me movement when you speak with such

Passion and steadfast self backing of your race results...

However you have forgotten one thing...

Well more so one person.

7-Times World Drivers Champion

Michael "I don't mind closing the door on anybody" Schumacher

Put him down for P3..... Put the house on it!

You reckon....i would put money down on some desperate action up front, expecially if its dry. I expect if its wet they may take it a little easier and not punt each other out of the race... who knows. Hope its not wet, want to see hte fastest guy win tomorrow, not the fluke call of the race

So what was/is the secret? You talking about the ingenious ride height control??

Just before the British GP they talked about how RBR run a certain ignition system on the Renault engine that allows then engine to pump a similar amount of air over the blown diffuser on part and trailing throttle. This gives a consistant level of downforce and the driver confidence to push the thing to the limit. The Macs and others lacked this and is part of the reason why there blown diffusers arent working as well as RBRs. When Horner said its not just the blown diffuser, the car has been designed around it....this appears to be abig part of the whole equation.....lol or so i read :ninja:

Surely Greg Rust cannot possibly be the best man to host F1 on TV here in Australia.

Pure COCK

Listening to CH trying and slime / smooth out the Silverstone Wing-Gate makes my skin crawl.

How about just admitting you f**ked up and move on.

Learn from the mistake.

    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
    • Wow! how times change 2017 $15k seems expensive... now $30-$50k is the price.
