all I can say is how fkign good was webber on alonso? pass of the year! loved it. he just went, 'fk this, going round the outside at aeu rouge, just close my eyes, hold my breath and hope alonso doesn't want to die right now'. it was epic.

oh and schumi showed an old style drive where he used to be able to go from back of the grid to win races. he didn't win but 24th to 5th was pretty awesome given his car is not amongst the best 6 cars on the grid (2 X RBR, 2 X Mac, 2 X Fez). pretty good drive to celebrate his 20 years in F1 with a drive that really proved he's not as far over the hill as people might think.

So just lacking the motivation to drive like he did?

absolutely brilliant... the camera angle on that part of the circuit really shows off the car's speed... but watching the in-car made my arsehole pucker and I was lying on my couch at the time... imagine being in the car! guts baby, F1 delivers... sometimes;)

now if he can just work out how to get off the line at the start of a race...

Not like its an isolated incident either, race after race...

Conspiracy me thinks, Helmut pulling a few strings there for his boy :P

It was a nice pass, but with Alonso on cold tires having just left the pits, he was never gonna fight as hard as he may have if everything was up to temp

This. Don't get me wrong, I'm as one-eyed as a lot of the other Webber supporters but when Alonso leaves the pits with only 100 or so degrees in his rubber (is that about what they hold in the warmers?) You can forgive the guy for being a little bit timid.

However, what was his excuse throughout the rest of the race? Was it just me or did Alonso seem far too polite during some of the overtaking he was subjected to. I'm no Ferrari fan, but I do like to see the guys squabble over position a bit.

DRS made it far too easy. Can't say I'm a real big fan of it in general.

I wonder how different the results might have been had Button started from a decent position and Webber got off the line cleanly (among many other things).

GOD I love watching Spa.

That may have been 'some' peoples complaints Nick but not me :D

I don't mind KERS when everyone has it and it's a level playing field but I just think that DRS makes it a bit easy sometimes.

Perhaps next year they will reduce the DRS zones by a few hundred meters here and there. Then we can at least see the guys battle it out under brakes a bit more.

I guess the cost of being to forceful repelling an overtake when they will just hose you next lap with DRS is the issue. If you know you can hold them for the next 10 laps then perhaps there is a reason to defend aggressively.

That sums it up perfectly. As much as they're all racers, when the advantage over you is that great it's pointless trying to defend and risk an incident.

Even kobyashi said he had no interest in fighting hamo to get the position back as he didn't have the pace, and we know kamui doesn't mind defending/passing

Yep, hit the nail on the head I reckon.

kubica update

pf1

The Polish driver suffered severe injuries in a rally accident in February, which damaged his leg, arm and shoulder. He underwent four separate surgeries during his 10 week stay in an Italian hospital.

Since his release, Kubica has been at home in Monaco recovering and working on his rehabilitation. However, it soon discovered that he would need a fifth operation to restore full mobility to his right elbow.

That surgery took place on Sunday with his Lotus Renault GP team revealing that he is in "good spirits."

A Renault statement read: "Today, Robert underwent one last scheduled operation in Italy aimed at recovering the full mobility of his right elbow.

"The surgeons are happy to report they been able to complete 100% of their task and did not encounter any complications.

"They have described the outcome of the operation as a total success.

"On waking up it was immediately clear Robert was in good spirits. As soon as he opened his eyes he asked for the result of today's race (the Belgian Grand Prix).

"He will now rest in hospital for a few days before resuming his rehabilitation and training programme."

he seams in good spirits. :)

No?!

What's the deal?

Ah was at the end of the bbc coverage, just after the podium shit. i think one hd cut it out.

"Lewis is one of the best drivers in Formula One if he would stop making stupid mistakes," he told the Guardian.

As for this year's title race, Lauda believes Sebastian Vettel's victory at Spa, which saw him take 92-point lead in the Drivers' Championship, has sealed it for the Red Bull driver.

"It's certainly all over," the Austrian told The Telegraph.

"No question about it, the only question is when. It could happen theoretically in Singapore. It could easily happen in Japan but for sure in Korea if not before."

he's getting it from all sides isn't he. :laugh:

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
