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.

niki on lewis

"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:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
