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...

    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
