Will be an interesting season, so many points of interest too like:

Alonso now at Ferrari and incidentally going fastest in testing thus far

Schuey now at Mercedes GP, back alongside Brawn and showing good signs early

Ferrari powered BMW Sauber have shown lots of speed in the hands of old timer de la Rosa

Current WDC Button at McLaren alongside a former WDC Hamilton

Vettel/RBR and Adrian Newey at it again together

the list could go on.... and on

Testing times don't mean squat wait till the first round then it'll be clear....Common!

True depending on what they're actually testing but sometimes it means a great deal and gives a pretty good indication of who's going to be competitive from the get go

ferrari have had two rough years so this year they are definitely going to be trying to get back into the winners circle......Ferrari started working on the F10 midway through last season when other teams were still developing their current (09) cars.....so looks like time and effort well spent so far :)

The main problem for Ferrari the last couple years has been the amount key people that have changed/left the team. Schumacher, Brawn, Tolt for starters....

Every team wants to win, it's just a matter of if they have the know how & the budget to follow through. The addition of Alonso should be an added strength, although if Massa proves to be too competitive (which is a good chance) it could be a repeat of the problems at McLaren. Unless that is Alonso has learnt from that.....

So who knows, I'm not going to be making bets either way that's for sure.

I'll still want Webber to win anyway :D

looking forward to RBR car launch tomorrow!

should be an interesting season, looks like it'll be a fight between Mercades and McLaren for the championships (going by performance at the end of last season)

with the no refueling going on i def think that vetel will own mark this season (mark uses more fuel per lap), but that might also play into buttons and alonso hands... tho the most interesting thing for me will be how will schuey do =)

lotsa question, lots of intrigue, should be another good season

mark and lewis both use a lot of fuel per lap then say button or alonso......its just their driving style does that.....schuey did ok in the tests and has done a lot of laps in a gp2 car...so he will be in good shape first race me thinks......this year will be a rather tight one.....drivers challenging for the championship would be: Button, Hamilton, Alonso, Massa, Webber, Vetel, Schuey

yeah, i know most cars have been launched... but today is RB6 launch day, not most cars have already been launched day! =\ and just from an engineering standpoint alone most people should be interested in what newey has come up with for this season, then again, i guess most people aren't interested in fluid dynamics XD

the whole idea about getting more laps under your belt is a good idea in theory, but this year there is not only a limit on number of test days but there is actually a limit on number of tyres you can use in testing as well (and hence a corresponding amount of kms you can put on a car)... may as well plan to maximise your time both in the wind tunnel and on the track??? =) but mebe its simply the fact that RBR didn't have the opportunity to start development of the 2010 car as early as some other teams last season... :)

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
