hammo throwing it sidewayzzzzz

vettel looks like he just needs mark to hold onto his tail in the race, and he's got it.

I think Vettel will definately tussle for the win with Alonso and maybe hammo, but mark will be somewhere in the top 5... Shafting noobody but himself

But here is the thing, forget the fastest time, track isnt fully rubbered in and a whol ehost of reasons why the fastest lap is not so important....did anyone notice on the long runs the RBRs were 0.5-0.8 secons a lap quicker with full tanks and the option tyre! Their race pace looks convincing for one of the few times on a Friday

How the hell is button so much slower than lewis? and why isnt anybody giving him a hard time like they are for massa's shit pace

I think he's mentally finally accepted his number 2 roll in that team.

And webber... come on man. You need to get in front of that fucking german, he's clearly been faster for months now, and if really want this title your going to have to work just a little harder for it

He needs to get in front of that Spaniard, let alone the German :)

Hamilton being fastest is actually good for Alonso. I hope Redbull pull something out today.

All over after P2...

Time to grab a cup of nice warm tea and calm down.

I know, I was just being melodramatic :P:O

When they say each driver only gets 8 engines for the year, is that just the block? Are they allowed to fully rebuild the engines and replace all internals? If not, what's to stop them doing it anyway, since the FIA can't be monitoring those engines 24x7?

Thought they couldn't open them up. They have a few of those little stickers around the engine joints saying "void if broken" :P

the bolt heads would be sealed with tamper-proof indicators

it's not as if they just trust the teams not to open 'em up

back when it didn't matter, Ferrari used to go through around 150 engines per season...

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
