here's one of many sources, a 1991 interview with Senna:

http://www.grandprix.com/ft/ft00090.html

it was partly a 'square up' for the previous year and partly a petulant sook at having to start from the dirty side of the track. either way its a premeditated decision to take another driver out if they get in front. What a champion.

So that's how he secured one championship, another he won with less points than Prost because they only counted the best 11 (from 16) results back then! WTF? And the 3rd all his rivals had at least 5 retirements and he only suffered 1.

This guys alright... :thumbsup:

Good to see I am not alone with regards to ill feelings towards Senna. No doubted a talented guy, but there were plenty of times when others had his measure, including his team mate. Harry touched on it...there were occassions when Senna only beat Prost because Senna put him to the sword and Prost preferred not to crash with his teammate for the sake of the team and results. If Prost was as single minded the two would have wiped corners off each others cars far more often.

I only really remember watching GPs from 1988, with clear memory from about 92 onwards...didnt know enough about what I was watching to actually rate Senna, but I never liked him at the time.

Ironic thing is Ralf's quite a successful DTM racer. Shows the gulf in the comparative skill level required for competitiveness in F1 and a prod-car derived racing category, I guess.

Perhaps the Toyota was never a world beater but given the alleged money thrown at F1 it seems like they needed to hire a serious top tier driver or someone on the way up like Kubica to wring the neck of it.

This elitist is flying Tiger Airways to Qld in a week or two on a $30 special so I would say I either like taking risks or I am a cheapskate....I sure hope they serve a precocious chardonnay onboard with the canapes.

hahaha nice knowing you on that tiger!!

"Q: Rooftop swimming pool, bowling alley, revolving sushi bar - just some of the features most F1 motorhomes don’t possess. If you could add one thing to your team’s motorhome, what would it be?

SV: A good gym with a sauna. My Finnish trainer would be very happy then. And you wouldn’t struggle to find all the other Finnish guys in the paddock. Just go to where the sauna is!"

so vettel wants to find finnish boys eh? at least it's now clear where his sexual preferences lie. not that there was ever much doubt....

Less than 2hrs until P1, who will end up on top?

Looks like it will be wet and cold.

Edit - Lol at Seb V wanting the penis.

Glad I'm not the only one looking forward to it. Not sure why though, some numbers showing up on my phone which will not necessarily have anything to do with qualifying or race pace.

Ferrari updates could be interesting though :D

Sutil seems keen for a wet one....

Q: It is always said you are a wet weather specialist. Are you enjoying the weather forecast for his race?

AS: Yeah, yeah, it looks very rainy, so I enjoy it absolutely. We have not had a rain race or race session this year. Different story with the Pirelli tyres, we have not so much data in the rain conditions with these tyres, so it is going to be a challenge. But in general I like the conditions and I think we are going to be good.

I saw an interesting thing today. ferrari's F1 budget is still near $400mil. old redbull is 4th highest with only 204mil behind Ferrari, Mclaren and Mercedes. they are sure getting value for money these days.

    • 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?
