Kubica did a great job...bit i was equally impressed with how Webber got on with it and was overtaking cars on the quicker tyres. I was impressed hpw he cut some nice moves on Glock, Kobayashi & Schuey

Agreed. MW looked hungry...

how the hell didn't that tyre deflate?

I think he was the master of understatement in the press conference when he said there was some vibration and the tyres wore perfectly, and then added 'there was nothing left'.

Small irony that the MW contact with LH was quite similar to LH's contact with Massa last race. LH must be feeling a little unlucky. With that sort of luck he needs to go home and check that Nicole Scherzinger isn't a bloke in drag.

Mclaren just needs to install a bumper-ring around LH's car, ala indoor Karts.....

If you have a look on the AUTOSPORT website you can see where marks Tyre has rolled off the outer bead and is 5mm from rolling of the wheel itself, whichever Bridgestone mechanic put that wheel on today deserves a cold one I think :P

Agreed, amazing pic of Webber's wheel, thanks for posting.

Also thought Kub's drive at the end was amazing, very impressive, even if his tyres were fresh and those of the others he passed were not. His engineer's radio cracked me up after the first pass; "oh and these guys coming up, their tyres are also 50 laps old" :P

Absolutely loved Vettel trying to take off from the pits in 2nd gear! :happy: was lucky to get away with that one.

yeh saw that, commintator picked up on it as well, wanted to see a replay to see what gear was displayed on the wheel when he took off. was probably frustrated as team fu#ked his race by bringing him in with alonso. thought they would leave him out for a couple of flyers then pit him. seems redbull can only concentrate on one drivers strategy per race.

Well both Ferrari and RBR were saying they wanted to pit ASAP as the harder tyres were now qucker then their well used softs, problem was the McLarens were 2-4 seconds a lap slower and after pitting they woudl have been behind the far slower Mclarens.

So as soon as the Macs pitted that gave them a window of free track. They both wanted to put asap as if they pitted after the other then the guy got pitted first on his out lap woudl have been far quicker on the new hard tyres so the guy staying out was only ever going to lose ground.

Seems to make sense, shame they didnt have the 30sec to the Macs that they needed as it would have been interesting to see if RBR had more race pace then Fezz

Yeah, it was great in the last handful of laps as you could see Vettel turning up the wick; RB had more fight in reserve, but it seems as though the brakes were always a concern for them? (at least up until those last few laps when they could afford to go nuts).

(Webber's brake failure last season; continual feedback between Vettel and engineer re: brake condition)

Logistics of running a GP tells me it would simply get cancelled. Slight chance that they could run a GP in Japan at Fuji if there are no schedule conflicts, as the team are already in Suzuka for the previous GP and logistically would be easier to get to Brazil from Japan then Korea....but odds on Korea will be on. As if Bermie is going to say something in public if he does not already know EXACTLY what is transpiring

Here you go. ;) Last frame is after he finally drops it back to 1st. Agreed it was probably heat of the moment and a bit of frustration, but still a rookie error hey.

India on the other hand! if its anything like the commonwealth games, im sure there will be potholes in the track lol

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
