Pirelli can build a good race tyre. Unfortunately they were told by the FIA to build a shit race tyre, which is what they have done. So that, combined with the DRS & KERS gives people something to bang on about. Which atleast serves to hide the fact that the integrity, soul and general whole purpose of F1 has been destroyed in the name of getting people with generally NFI to watch a race.

They can basically take their crap tyres, their fake overtaking, their hopelessly compromised energy recovery systems & all the other junk & shove it.*

Amen.

feel sory for webber he'd probably dominate if it wasnt for vettel

So far he's finished 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 4th. My maths isn't great, but take one guy out of that mix and I still don't see him dominating...

yeh but consistent finishes like that throughout the season would 'usually' be good enough to secure a championship no? perhaps with a couple of 1sts in the mix. Dont the first 8 score points in lowering order from 1st back?

also isnt there a lot of talk that vettel gets priorety treatments/car parts etc?

lots of talk yes, but I dont think it has been substansiated yet

Remove Vettel entirely and it would be:

Ham 96

Web 85

But 78

Alo 63

That might look like Mark dominating to some of his one-eyed fans

And that doesn't factor in whoever would be driving the other Red Bull car if Vettel wasn't, or what Vettel's results would be in a different car... With Some of Mark's results, just about any other decent F1 driver in a Red Bull would have beaten him a few times this year.

also isnt there a lot of talk that vettel gets priorety treatments/car parts etc?

other than the wing last year, that was a dubvious performance adbvantage at best, there's no credible reports of less favourable treatment or parts for Webber.

Points system has changed Alex...Top 10 score now

1st - 25

2nd - 18

3rd - 15

4th - 12

5th - 10

6th - 8

7th - 6

8th - 4

9th - 2

10th - 1

Rewards winners more than it used to in order to stop people being so willing to 'settle' for 2nd place etc..

Webber had his chance to win a WDC and he fucked it. He'll never be a WDC now, short of Vettel/Hamilton not racing anymore this year

I was only saying the other day that I think I actually like Hamilton now... then i go and read this ... http://www.planetf1.com/driver/18227/6950922/Hamilton-hopes-to-close-the-gap

Right now he is back to his c0ck gargling ways of yesteryear...come on Button smach the little poser!

"The super soft Pirelli tyre, which makes its debut this weekend, is expected to last around 8 laps in the opening stint"

are they serious? 8 laps!

might be worth a wager on the first of the driver's who start on primes.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
