Where did these "fact" come from?

I don't recall saying anything about why he couldn't pass back markers.

I would love to see him drive the whole race in the same manor he did the second half of it.

The KERS not working radio call came though mid-race, yes, but it was the drive thereafter that was so great to watch.

Not often you see webber that happy

huh! indeed.

It would seem that you have caught me with my pants down haha.

Now I am a little confused though, so you say that because Webber couldn't get past a heap of people at the start when he was on hards with kers - he is rubbish... but when he shreds through the field on softs and without kers, it is all the tyres?

didn't say he was rubbish.

but, since you asked, the passes he made in the second half of the race were against a Lotus Renault on hard tyres, a couple of cars trying to make softs go long on 2 stop strategies, and 1 maybe 2 people desperately conserving fuel to make it to the end of the race. Mark was in the fastest car on the grid and on the best, newest rubber anyone in that part of the field had by a long way. He stil had to get it done, but the words candy and baby come to mind. :P

oh, and I also think its worth mentioning that Webber ceretainly got the better of RBR's pit strategies this weekend. That's something Webber fans often point out as some sort of conspiracy theory about RBR favouritism when it works against him.

....................................................

I haven't seen anything to suggest that both drivers don't have the same equipment at RBR. The fact he was the fastest car in the race by 1.4 sec shows there was nothing wrong with his car during qualifying. its parc ferme between then and the race apart from fuel, and tyre choice for those outside the top 10.

.................................

He did not necessarily have the fastest car at all, he put in the fastest lap. See this is where someone can take a fact and put a negative or a positive spin on it. It looks like most here are saying you are putting a negative spin on the facts Harry.

As I mentioned over on the other forum, Webber had to do a lot of his passes on the obviously dirty side of the track. Good tyres or not, to do that consistently takes exceptionally good driving skills because grip is going to be rubbish at that time no matter how good the tyres are. It seems fair to say that Webber, whatever his faults are, has a history of making good passes.

Button to replace Webber at RBR in 2012...

Prediction or news?

Other forum?

Webber on Kovaleinen, Valencia 2010 was a good one.

You wouldn't see Schumacher doing something that brain dead (he only crashes into someone if he will win from it).

      Yea my thought was tighter engine when hot is more load a poor ground connection can't take. On that note, I had time to check my driveshaft verical alignment tonight, it's +2 and -2 at either end, so thats perfect and how I had set it up last year. What would be the easiest way to check horizontal alignment between my diff and transmission? I can think of a few ways but they're all complicated and I feel like I'm overthinking it. I'm hoping it's that as I can't see any other reason why I have developed driveline vibration since I put the motor back in.

      Fender flare widths across front/back of car

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Thank god. I thought I was the only one, nobody seems to mention this (cause nobody really goes this far in Sedan land). The car's track is 10mm wider at the rear, which explains why the rears sit a little further out for the same size wheels. There's not really many options in widebody land for sedans anyway - People will just use whatever came out of the box and then buy wheels/spacers to suit. To get it perfect you'll likely need custom wheels with custom offsets if you really want to get it perfect which is what I plan to do, but I also plan to utilize more of the inboard space for tyres at the rear... which is also something nobody ever seems to do.... OR my maths have failed me after 20,000 attempts and I'm about to make huge mistakes.
