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.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • 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.
