Don't understand why you would hold onto Barichello

He's a great guy to have there if you need to train up a young gun.

He also tows the company line, doesn't mind playing second fiddle, and is still quick and importantly, likeable.

Give the old man a break will ya Timmy :D

A mate of mine reckon Senna's a starter, I say not until hell freezes over.

I agree with your mate, would love to see him in a good or even reasonable car

Have you seen the onboard video from those cars, those HRT's are bloody wild!

I'd welcome him there, for sentimental reasons more than being an actual fan.

I just don't think he's a "Superstar", and I don't think he's the guy to make Williams a front runner.

Oh how I'd welcome being proved wrong though!

I thought the rumour was that Senna was off to Lotus. To go with the Renault motors & the new black & gold livery they are supposed to be running.

So Senna in a black & gold Lotus Renault. Hmmm.

Hulkenberg had a decent second half of the season. But Williams need cash as most of their sponsors are ending their contracts this year. They were after the Mexican bloke with all the Telecom money.

Oh and the HRT was probably the worst of the new teams this year. Not that anyone really cared.

Senna is only there because his name. I dont think he has the ability to shine in evern a good car. Plenty of other drivers more worthy, especially Hullk who has sown flashes of pace, when in position raced hard and cleanly...and come along nicely alongside a team mate who is still very quick and no doubt handy at developing a car. Really is a sad time for Williams when they bring in a good young steerer and cant even sell him or trade him....they are a middle field team and there is no technical recruitment, engine deals or sponsors coming on board to suggest that is going to change anytime soon :D

I am interested to see if Petrov retains his seat....he did well in the last race but not sure that will be enough

Maybe. But it is hard to shine in such a bucket of *^%#. Not least if you can't do any testing.

I am not 100% convinced of teh Hulk. His drive at Imola was pretty ordinary, for example. There again look how Rosberg went this year. Much better than his form had suggested. Although his team mate made him look like a genious, so who knows.

Williams looks to be slowly going the same way as Jordan. Lack of results = lack of sponsors = lack of results. Here is hoping they sell enough KERS systems to Porsche to fund the team off their own back.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
