Doesn't seem to have kept touch as well during the development year.

Who's to know- Maybe the chassis he inherited from Heikki hasn't particularly been compatible with his driving style. His version of the MP4-26 may suit him better.

On Saturday evening on the way from the Interlagos circuit to his hotel in Morumbi, Jenson Button and the other occupants in the car in which was travelling were attacked by armed assailants. Vodafone McLaren Mercedes had provided both Jenson and team-mate Lewis Hamilton with bullet-proof vehicles driven by police drivers, who had been trained in avoidance techniques and were armed. The police driver of Jenson’s vehicle reacted swiftly and, using avoidance techniques, rapidly forced his way through the traffic, taking Jenson and the other occupants of the car away from any danger and back to their hotel. Neither Jenson nor the other occupants of the car – his father John Button, his trainer Mike Collier and his manager Richard Goddard – were hurt. The Sao Paulo authorities have also acted efficiently and will be providing additional security to transfer Jenson and other senior Vodafone McLaren Mercedes personnel to the Interlagos circuit for Sunday’s Brazilian Grand Prix.

The attack is not the first in F1 in Sao Paulo and there are bound to be questions asked about whether it is wise to continue visiting a facility where F1 people are targets for local thieves and hoodlums.

Sounds strange given that he's still leading the WDC, but unfortunately I can't see him winning it..

He's 8 up on Webber. I can't see RBR not finishing 1-2 at the next race (unless something goes wrong obviously). Alonso MUST split the RBR's to take the title

the next race is a ferrari race!

Ferrari should be able to match RBR or quicker than them, due to the type of circuit

If all the cars remain reliable for the final 2 races, Alonso will probably win the WDC.

Here is the math:

SV: wins both: 256

MW: 2nd in both: 256 (SV ahead on wins)

FA: 3rd in both: 261 (still beats MW and SV)

FA: 3rd in 1, 4th in 1: 258 (STILL beats MW and SV)

LH: wins both: 260

LH: wins 1, 2nd in 1: 253

MW: wins 1, 2nd in another: 263

FA: 2nd in 1, 3rd in another : 264

In other words, if MW doesn't win at least ONE of the races, FA really just has to score 3rd and 4th, provided LH doesn't win both. And EVEN if MW wins 1 and comes 2nd in another, FA just has to score 2nd and 3rd to win.

Of course this assumes both FA and MW don't crash/blow up in the race.

The only thing realistic thing MW can hope for is FA's last engine to need replacing before the race. But even with a 10 place grid drop, FA could conceivably still score 4th.

As much as I want Alonso to win it, you haven't taken into account the fact that if it's Vettel leading Webber in the final race, and Alonso is in 3rd, that Vettel will surely move over for Webber (given that he cannot win the title even with a win with Alonso in P3), which will give Webber 10 points over Alonso, winning the WDC by 2.

The only way Alonso is winning the WDC is if he can split the RBR's, beat them both, or they make a mistake/DNF and finish down the order or out of the points completely.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
