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.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
