From Grand Prix Week

Our spies in the Red Bull

motorhome tell us that despite

informing the world at large that

he wasn’t disappointed with P3 in

qualifying, Sebastian Vettel may

have been in tears after the press

conference ...

Oh what I'd do to see vid of that!

Gotta feel for Pirelli too. Wouldn't be surprised if they're eager to get out of F1 as soon as the contract period is up, given the fact they've been told to make a tire that basically falls apart in order to make racing interesting, and are copping a bad name for it, whereas Bridgestone had gotten to a point where you could pretty much drive an entire race on one set of tires, and only need to change to satisfy the rules...

Gotta love back to back GP's

Hell yeah :D

I am hoping SV isn't on the pace again. He was a bit irritable after Silverstone, this weekend did nothing for his ego so a third weekend will have the little violins cranking.

The Fez might be a very good chance of getting away with a silver dinner plate this week.

Is it just me or would anyone else like to see the balance of the option and prime tyres tweaked so that it is feasible to run the harder tyre for more time without losing bucketloads of time? I would like to see the leading drivers on different strategies.

I agree, either the option's shouldn't last as long forcing another pit stop or the prime's should be quicker and be extremely consistent over the race distance (be a good way for Pirelli to show what they can do too). Well, at least that I think was the intended outcome. As it is now, usually there's just a phase of the race where each driver takes a time penalty.

how bout the mid 80's with the goodyears that the drivers never really knew if they lasted a race but went flat out regardless (adelaide 86) was a classic example. there used to be a blow out atleast once a race, and made for close racing (amongst other things) how about re-treads J/K imagine the technology that would go into making them and have the carcass come apart at any time??

It wouldn't surprise me. he really is a massive sook.

agreed. nothing warms the cockles of my heart like little sebastian having a sook. he is pretty fragile. god imagine if he'd had to spend years driving minardi, jaguar and williams at their low point? he'd have slit his wrists long ago.

1 more race off the podium and he'll be downright miserable.

+2 boy hasn't paid his dues.

'HRT driver Vitantonio Liuzzi will try his hand at Australia's famous V8 Supercar series later this year when he takes part in the Armor All Gold Coast 600'

'The other drivers in the field with F1 pedigree are Mika Salo, Jan Magnussen, Sebastian Bourdais, Christian Klien, Gianni Morbidelli and Stephane Sarrazin'

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
