It was awesome to see Webber's race last night. It's really good to see him out pace his team mate buy so much and the rest of the field by even more, especially on a drivers track. Let's just hope he can carry the momentum on for the rest of the season.

true - was good to see a webber win - just hope that he stops being an epic whinger - maybe if he wins a championship? :)

oh, i really hope krishy didn;t put money on ferarri XD esp after that quali for alonso, would have given him driver of the day if it wernt for letting schui pass him on the last lap!!

good to see kubica up there, i recon he'll also be one to watch in the future!

hopefuly mark is doing enough to stay in an RBR seat for next year as well! (REALLY dont want massa taking his seat!)

ahh, yes and congrats to mark, seems like when he has a clear track he'll drive away from everyone!! (tho when he gets stuck behind someone he cant overtake)

I'll have to check it out. TAB or online?

TAB or ONLINE???? It really doesnt matter....TAB has a site that shows all the odds etc....i prefer to go down to the pub to put a bet on as at the same time have a nice coldy

Unfortunate but i did have money on Alonso to win.....that was mid week prior to qualifying or practise.....he showed some good pace in the practise sessions but unfortunately had a chasis damage which ruled him out of qualifying hence he started from the pits.....but what a drive though from the pits to finish in the points :)

wow there are talks of Massa leaving Ferrari at the end of this season....also there are reports that Ferrari are interested in Mark Webber and Robert Kubica.....i would really like to see Kubica go to Ferrari but Webber is a possibility too as his contract runs out at the end of the season and so does Massa's.....sure will be sad to see Massa go as he was working well with Ferrari......its been a long time since Ferrari didnt have a Brazillian National behind the wheel of one of their cars

I am also tipping that Alonso will win the coming race this weekend

Webber going to Ferrari could be the biggest mistake of his career. RBR are on the rise, they could be the team to beat for the next few years. Ferrari, on the other hand, haven't looked that competitive. These things can change dramatically from year to year, but if I were Webber I'd stay with RBR for the rest of my career.

I, obviously, am not Mark Webber. But if I were that's what I'd do :-)

Nice little disclaimer there....i think if Webber moves from RBR to Ferrari it will purely be for the financial reason and nothing else....it will be interesting to see at least Ferrari are doing a lot better then last season anyhow.....and you never know the big teams can throw a lot of money trying to get these things absolutely right....so Ferrari just might be on the top of the table next season

Id like to see webber sign a 1yr extension to RBR.

I think he is a real chance for the drivers world championship this year and perhaps next.

After that (the glory) take the top $ drive.........

I do think Webber, Vettel and Alonso have a decent shot at the world title this year....even with the average performance so far Alonso is only 3 points behind the leaders Webber and Vettel....and the next few rounds i do think that Ferrari have a decent shot at winning a few races as well.....i wont be ruling out Massa as well....Alonso would have won the last GP at Monaco if he participated in qualifying....Alonso started in the pits to finish in the top was a very very solid effort.....IMHO he was the driver of the day.....I think in the last 6 0r 7 world titles the winner of the first GP has gone on to win the title...so i am backing Alonso as he won the first GP of the season....plus he is paying decent odds as well :)

omg what an eventful race....

And that it was. How was Vettel when he made contact with Webber, what an idiot. Webber was lucky to still be in the race, but to hold on to 3rd place was good. Also watching the two Mclarens edge close to eachother on a number of occasions was breathtaking.

The Vettel incident has probably made Webbers championship hopes alot better know as Vettel was the main challenger and is know sitting in 4th I think?

Why you wouldn't allow your team mate who's clearly faster than you some room has got me farked! Especially since the 2 McLarens were catching so fast.... It's easy to lay all blame on Vettel for that incident, but imo Webber wasn't faultless in it either.

It was good to see that the teams are letting their drivers fight it out on the track for once and not giving team orders.....also in saying that the McLaren drivers used their head wisely and 5 laps to go they both backed off as they were really low on fuel

I am still saying dont rule out Alonso....that man has the ability to come out of no where and start winning races....It was very very bad on Webbers behalf to try and squeeze his own team mate off the track....when clearly Vettel was way faster then him....showing a bit of arrogance me thinks.....

All Webber needed to do was move a little bit to the left and give some racing room to his faster team mate....i guess Webber doesnt want to be shown up by his team mate.....very very bad mistake by the drivers that could cost Red Bull the constructors Championship......people were blaming Vettel when that incident happened but when you see the replay Webber is not in the clear either

If you watch the replay Webber was 0% at fault. Vettel definetley had the pace for the over take but seems he hit the dirt when trying to move past and his car then got a bit out of balance and he veered into the side of Webbers car. If anything there was no room there in the first place for the over take, if Webber was at fault then Vettel wouldn't have apologised to all the redbull pit crew etc..

YOUTUBE REPLAY:

http://en.espnf1.com/redbull/motorsport/story/18943.html

dont think vettel appologised to the team for his mistake...as it wasnt his mistake.....he would have apologised in the regards that whatever happened caused the team to end up with a bad result knowing their position prior to the incident.....goes to show the dirty side of webber i guess

Vettel was clearly at fault and was a twat in the first place for attempting such a move. Webber moved over and then held his line, Vettel had the speed to get just ahead but appeared to lose control for a fraction and turned into Webber's car. In the end it cost Vettel more than anyone else expect for Reb Bull Racing.

So Webber is a dirty driver because Vettel tried to overtake where there was no space and had a tyre of the track causing him to loose balance? Hmmmm.....

Going to have to agree to disagree on this one Krishy!

looking back at that youtube clip i cannot see Vettel dropping a tyre off the track....once vettel got infront of Webber he moved to the right to get a better line into the corner and expected webber to move as well...which didnt happen

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
