So who has been keeping an eye on the F1 stage over the break?? its good to see a few new teams in the mix and very very delighted to see a few new faces and drivers in different teams.....this season should be a good season me thinks.....Ferrari are dominating testing atm so good to see them bounce back from last season

Predicting a Red Bull year.

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

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

Most of the teams (that have launched cars already) are testing today and into the weekend, should be interesting as they'll no doubt be doing more than just getting familiar with the latest tyre compounds.

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... :)

      Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead

      Should you buy cheap Chinese tyres?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.

      Anyone here a submersible fuel hose expert? I pulled my hanger out again for unrelated issues and noticed the hose I popped on last week has already swollen. This is Gates 27093 submersible hose. I've waiting on a response from Gates, but this surely can't be normal? This is on pump gas, not E85.  Is swelling a tad possibly normal? I've also been fighting with my power steering belt.... I've now tossed one and killed two. I just realigned my pulleys again, hoping this time it stays on. It doesn't like high rpm.

      Don't want to side track from the thread too much (don't want to upset the thread starter's run from 2007) so here's some old rusted Nissan Laurels in a parking lot in Nishinomiya, Hyogo-ken:
