Remember Webber won last year's Brazilian GP, so you have to think he's a good chance of a victory there again.

It certainly is a strong circuit for him.

yep, plus I think now there is a bit less pressure on. he's now in the spot with nothing to loose and everything to gain. there is no prize for finishing second in the championship so it should be time to rock out with his cock out and bag a win.

Tuning in cause the old man missed it driving to perth last night..

Want to watch Baron Von Doorcloser weave his magic against Barrychello, Koob & Buttonman..:P

Plus the satisfaction of watching that little vetf*cker's engine blow is all worth it on its own!! :D

I was so happy when Vettel's engine clocked off that I could have pee'd myself

The event was extra special due to what seemed like most the engine internals making a sparky dash for freedom via the bottom of the car :)

This was my facebook status as it happened (I watch the races with my laptop next to me for live timing)

WOOOOOOOOODkfhsdkofhkJDFPisdzlkjfP!!!!!

I was so happy I almost cried...

go alonso

:P

race is about to be replayed on One HD

who else is tuning in!!

I was at the gym and the TV was on oneHD, didn't bother to watch except when Vettel's engine was about to self destruct :(

The only hope Vettel has now is if Alonso bins it or the Ferrari engine lets go in Brazil during the race.....maybe they could justify letting SV run his own race then. Otherwise they would be retarded for not giving team orders.

It is RBR so who knows....

Before Korea even got started, Horner was on record as saying that RBR 2011 will be built around Vettel. "I repeat: we are building the team around Sebastian," Horner told Auto Bild. " http://en.espnf1.com/redbull/motorsport/story/31746.html

Nice way to support your driver that actually has a better shot at the title, with two races still to go (3 to go at the time he was quoted). What is this bloke thinking?

And of course; RBR are still on record as ruling out any team orders with only these two races to go and Vettel now at long odds; http://www.patronisef1.com/index.php/f1-ne...rbr-team-orders

Why did they hire Webber if they don't want him to win? Certainly seems that way. I almost broke the remote when I saw Dr Helmut giving SV a hug in the pitlane at Yeongam.

Damn it Webber why do you push so hard :P

Because if he didn't, he would be a Button-type of driver that relies on the car getting the most out of him instead of him getting the most out of the car.

It pisses me off to read crap like that and it was a pretty rubbish time to say it but from a team standpoint, they would be crazy to build around Webber.

Yes, Webber's in a good position to take the WDC, but he is at his peak and on the wrong side of 30. Ze-tool is just as fast (if not faster with a clear track) and has another 10 years of serious racing ahead of him. Pretty sure he can learn how to overtake and defend property in 5-8 years (although I am sure he has been racing his whole life and doesn't seem to have grasped it yet :P )

ze-tool is a wanker plain and simple. all logic aside that is enough reason to get behind mark and do the right thing. who cares if the little fker is quick, or flogs more seedy energy drinks? he's a wanker, and the world is slowly waking up to that fact... webber on the other hand is almost universally liked. does not whine like a little girl and works his arse off.

RBR will lose mark the championship unless they star to back him!

All Bullshit aside, Ferrari is the only team which seems to understand how things work, and how to get your driver to win a championship.

Do RBR really think vettel can win the championship? Its not going to happen, back webber or you will lose the driver championship!

On a side note, no team orders at RBR means good things for Ferrari which im happy about lol

100% agree (I giggled my f**king arse off when his engine let go - may have even punched the air, I can't remember). I can't stand the smug little prick. BUT at this point in their respective careers if you chose one to build your young, billion dollar race team around, it would have to be Vettel.

Don't get me wrong, they should be doing all they can to aid Mark in the WDC.... this year

if Webber wanted RBR to back him over Vettel, he probably shouldn't have thrown it into the fence. I would be reluctant to put all my eggs in that basket now too. If he hadn't, he would have been gifted the win when Vettel's engine let go, and the points situation would be:

Webber 245

Alonso 224

Hamilton 207

Vettel 206

...and the decision on whether or not to back one particular driver would have been done and dusted. Instead they have to decide if its worth the risk of backing the driver with the most points but who had a brain explosion over the one who in recent races has been outperforming his team mate in every aspect (including composure) in recent races.

Webber accused of deliberately coming across the track to take out another car:

I don't buy it. Anyone else?

And I still think RBR should be backing Webber at this point even though he's had a brain snap he's still most likely to take the title with only two races to go. Even if Vetool is faster he should be moving aside for Webber if RBR want the drivers title.

    • 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?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
