doesn't matter, if Webber got pole he'd just clutch slip and be 8th at the first corner so it's probably better he start back there to keep an eye on the front runners straight up.

did anyone notice Vet's head is about half the size width wise as button/hamilton? he still has time to put on the kg I guess.

from his own mouth

Daniel Ricciardo: "It feels really nice not being on the back of the grid and finishing ahead of Tonio, which is a small target I had set myself, so I'm happy to have achieved that. But I don't want to stop there, I want to do it constantly and progress in one way or another. It's been a tough weekend having suffered some mechanical problems in yesterday's practice sessions, so we didn't get to run as much as we would have liked today. I was aware that I had to give everything I could in this qualifying session and it's really satisfying to have done a good job. Now we have to wait and see how tomorrow goes but I think we should have a good set-up because we didn't go completely aggressive in qualifying."

new boy dun good.

Can't wait for the race, every time hamilton lines up next to vettel, vettel must be wetting himself

any time anyone is within 100m of hamo on the track they are probably wetting themselves wondering when he will take them out, LOL

No offence to ricci and the HRT crew but once you hit 107% quali time why not bring it in at that point to save the tyres? They're not going to get much better except between teammates and they could have better race pace which I would think is more important....from a team point of view.

pretty sure they will still have pretty much a full range of new tyres. they only did 1 qualifying session after all, so they would've only used 2 sets of tyres at most.

i reakon it was a team thing to help get vettel to win the championship ASAP. once that's done and dusted then i think they might let mark have a chance at winning to make sure they can cement his place at number 2 in the championship (forever number 2, LOL)

just watched vettels pole lap on tv. as the dopes (presenters) mentioned, he spends a lot of time on the limiter on the first straight, and a bit on the back straight.

Didi u see the side by side laps compared with lewis? they are neck and neck and sometimes lewis in front but the second chicane is where vettel gets it

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
