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...

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
