Kub couldnt put Heidfeld into retirement and look at his results alongside Petrov... Kubz would have been an interesting one...was he a Fisi, able to make poor cars look god but suck in top equipment...or could he have gone on with it??? I cant see him returning so maybe never know

We might never find out. I just like cheering for a handsome Polak.

A mate and i have a bet going

I have bet that, barring any crazy circumstances, webber will not win a race for the remainder of this year

Mclaren have come on too strong and seb is just having a blinder

and Webber is a hack that can't launch an F1 car to save himself (a decent position past turn 1)

If hamilton is giving up on the season they should put someone else in the car

Big difference between being a realist that understands it's virtually impossible for Vettel to lose from here, and being delusional. He won't try any less to win every race from now until the end of the season, but he knows no matter how many he wins, he won't win the WDC.

Sorry,. at first I hated Lewis, I thought he was arrogane and also had an issue with his no.1 fan on this forum, being m3GTR or whatever his name was :)

He was a complete cock when he first started, but that was always going to be the case when he walked into a championship winning car. Luckily for us he f**ked that up and didn't win in his debut season, if he did, god knows what he'd be like now. I think that moment humbled him a lot, that and the last few years where the Mac wasn't miles ahead of the rest of the field.

Massa was very stiff not to take the title that year...I remember watching that race, I was literally standing on my seat jumping and screaming (with the rest of the family asleep) for most of the race, and what a cruel way to lose it...f**king Glock the cock!

Vettel will be a cock for the foreseeable future, at least until the RBR isn't so good...

And my ex is hotter than Button's mrs, and I'm not even remotely rich or famous...I think you're all more in love with the fact she's shagging Jenson than you are with her....

Having said that, I'd say my ex would take Jenson over me in a heartbeat lol

drs zones for monza.

The moveable rear wing technology can be deployed on the start/finish straight at Monza with the detection point on the exit of the Parabolica while the second DRS zone will be between the second Lesmo and the

Ascari chicane with the detection point between the Lesmos.

jb wants to extend his contract.

"All he has to do is say yes, and I will say yes because I want to be here next year.

Adrian Newey felt Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber's safety were under threat due to the blistering to the option tyres.

"Pirelli were telling us after qualifying that our tyres were very marginal and they wouldn't say whether it was after half a lap or five laps, but they were going to fail," he is quoted in The Telegraph as saying.

"I have to say it was one of the scariest races I've been involved in, it was heart-in-the-mouth stuff, as first and foremost our duty of care is to the drivers' safety.

"And trying to make that call in making sure the car was safe, while not handicapping ourselves from a performance point of view, was quite a difficult judgement to make.

"Frankly at the end of the race I was very relieved that both our drivers were safe."

Pirelli motor sport chief Paul Hembery has hit back and insists Red Bull were at fault as they were running camber outside of a recommended four-degree limit laid down by the Italian company.

"We've never had a safety issue. It was created by two things - one, the lack of running on Friday (because of wet weather) and, two, going to the limits of our recommendations," Hembery said.

Newey though replied: "Obviously if we had known there was a safety concern about it, we wouldn't have done it..."

Even if he did sit out the rest of the season, he may still hold on to win it lol

That realization is a mightily depressing prospect :\

even if Webber wins the remaining seven races, Vettel need only average fourth to win the championship. What odds of either of those things happening?

In terms of probability, very poor in the extreme; in terms of possibility, let's just admit to ourselves it's zero.

As if any sane Englishman wouldn't! It's not like Williams is ever in the hunt these days.

The only reason louie is getting flack is because he's not getting race wins.

LOL....Louis is getting flack because he keeps crashing into people!

Dont get me wrong, he is a brilliant driver....but that doesnt stop him currently being a liability on the track

WTF is with Webber ?????? These crap starts are really beginning to piss me off. How is it that a very experienced driver like him CANT launch car ??? What happened to practicing.

IF he could have got his shit together he would be A HELL OF A LOT CLOSER TO VETOOL THAN HE IS in the WDC.

Yep...if you watch the practice sessions you always see them all lining up on the grid practicing launches so they can get their clutch settings right. But interestingly they are always running on the harder tyres, not the options which they start the race on.

Thing is with Webbers starts are his reaction times are always on the money-good. Its the clutch slipping too much or not enough. Surely that is something they can work around and find a solution for.

    • Not too sure just yet, want to have a go at doing what I can myself, but to start with want someone to cast their eye over it tell me what needs doing to get it running and back on the road, so anyone with great overall knowledge would be ideal.
    • I personally would go with cutting out the rubber. Then deal with getting sleeve off separately. Rubber can be painful to cut, it loves to jam up cutting tools. I normally have success with drill bits, deburr bits, angle grinders, jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and never forget... fire. Obviously different tools won't work in all locations you're trying to work with, and you need to be comfortable with each. You personally may be happy slowly slicing it out with a razor blade, if you are, go for it with one too! Feel free to wait for others to weigh in also on their thoughts.
    • So ... I got everything disconnected and started dropping the frame. Three of the four mounts started to come down but the fourth one (the one with the nut that gave me all the trouble) won't budge. The inner metal sleeve stays up tight against the chassis rail although the outer part of the mount drops a bit (and can be levered quite a lot more) but it's just stretching the rubber bushing. So I reckon there's some serious corrosion inside the inner sleeve and holding it tight to the lug at the top of the bolt. Tried everything I can think of so far: penetrating oil, whacking the top of the sleeve to vibrate it and wedge a screwdriver blade in there. I also tried to turn the inner sleeve a bit by hitting it with a chisel at the bottom. It's stuck solid. What do you think about cutting the rubber with a blade so I can drop the subframe around it anyway. Then worry about getting the inner sleeve off after? Will that work? Is it gonna give me even more problems?
    • Steam valve seals are usually responsible for cold start smoke, it goes away once engine warmed up. Disconnect it let engine breathers and let it breath freely, see if problem goes away after a short drive. Also check to make sure engine oil drain pipe is not blocked or kinked. 
    • Haha thanks! Yea I'm moving over from 2x 1000cc jets pre throttle over to 6x 190cc direct port jets and 1x 500cc pre throttle jet.  Direct port comes with all the advantages you would expect, except that pre throttle does cool down IAT'S more. That's why my direct port nozzle placement is closest to the plenum as possible in the runners to allow the air more time to cool before being sucked in. I'm also putting that one 500cc pre throttle jet to help with more cooling. It's a hybrid system. There's a lot more advantages to moving over to a PWM solenoid with a constant pressure system vs my old PWM pump setup, but I'll get more into that once I'm done converting everything over. The ricer in me is excited to see SS tubing all over my manifold though!
