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.

Should be interesting:http://www.formula1....11/7/12363.html

'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'

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
