I cant believe how you are all so quick to praise Vettel and write off Webber. Have we not seen enough seasons the past 15 years to realise that its 80% car and 20% driver. Finally Webber has a good car and he is doing the job. He has shown plenty of pace in the past in shit cars. Look at Button last year. Button is no better then Webber. But give him a car advantage far above what Webber has had this year for the first half of the season and everyone is quoting the fact that he is WDC.

Vettel has not really show much superior pace over Webber this year. He sure as shit has not shown superior race craft. He is quick, and probably has the talen to win 3-4 of the last 5 rounds...but Webber has shown he is driving as good as he has been the past 3-4 years, but with pace in the car, isnt so desperate with some of his dives and race moves.

COME ON WEBBER! There is a reason why he is leading the WDC and it isnt luck. Just like in years past when Button, Hamo, Hill, Schuey etc all had a car advantage... the car wins the WDC more then the driver!

People who haven't watched the sport for a long time don't realise that being fast over a single lap isn't the be all and end all of a formula 1 drivers talents, NPK 3 times WDC no one considers him fast...

But al those ragging on Vettel, it would not surprise me if he wins 3 or 4 of the remaining GPs. He has the car, and he has the pace...it wouldnt surprise me. In fact Vettel is more likely to win 3 of the remaining GPs then Button is to win one

Going to be interesting, really think this WDC is between Hamilton, Webber, Alonso and Vettel...that is the order I think the WDC will finish....but hope Mark can prove me wrong

It looks like the cheaters wings were cheaters wings after all.

Who will kamikaze on lap 1?

Not sure how you draw that conclusion. Ferrari and RBR were both accused of running flexi-wings. Despite the new tests there was an RBR and a Ferrari ahead of the McLarens, supposedly not using flexi-wings. And Webber is only half a second off Alonso's pole time - so where do you get the idea that the 'cheaters' have lost pace?

The relative lack of pace is where I get it from. The Ferrari's pace has improved and so has McLaren but RBR doesn't appear to have compensated yet.

I don't think it was a cheaters wing, it passed scrutineering all season so as far as I am concerned it was legal but by the same token they have changed it to meet the new test and now they are relatively slower. I am disappointed as I want MW to salvage points.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
