From what i've seen americans will admit wrong doing, in motorsport anyway. Especially on bikes. Hayden, Spies and Edwards are more than ready to cop it on the chin sweet when they are involved in something.

Spanish are by far the worst at not owning up. Its almost laughable when you sit there waiting for them to get back to the pits to see what utter bullshit they plan to come up with.

We could do with more americans in european motorsport. By and large they are great guys who get emotionally involved and usually have a pretty good sense of humour about it all. Anything is better than the pain of listening to Massa or Pedrosa bullshit their way through interviews with the familiar unhappy frown of dissappointment on their faces.

Everyone likes people with a bit of a personality, guess thats why not a lot of like for Massa.

A few times we've heard the commentators mention Mark being a cheeky Aussie or whatever it was, found this and thought it was sort of relevent right now;

On the same google result page was;

and this, although this will only be funny for Simpsone fans who can remember how "Poochie the dog" ended;

Oh, yes...even with Mark not getting any race wins...he seems to have enjoyed all of his lat baron years...

3rd pic down on the left...Look at the expression on his face...he is pumped to be in F1 :)

There is another ripper shot fromn the front that i cant find

How did you link it...there are some other good ones as well...and the one when he was in the Jag outfit looking at the stunning brunette with DC :)

But the best one is when he was behind Sarah Jane pulling an "awwww yehhh" face at the site of her bum in lycra ;)

And interesting to see GSK and McLaren are in bed together now. Perhaps I should get a job with GSK and see if I can worm my way into a role with Mac :)

..and how is this for an angle. Since Renault-Lotus (the black and gold one) is really only Renault by name due to Concorde Agreement...and with Renault now putting engines in RBR, Williams, Caterham and Lotus-Renault...what is an engine deal worth to a team? I just read that Boullier is a little tight for cash and has been speakign with Cosworth about engines for 2012. This will be great for Cosworth getting a 3rd team back on the books but bad in that it paints a pretty bleak picture for Boullier's team.

So, with lots of talk of the French govt wanting the return of the French GP, Renault wanting French drivers that they will subsidise an engine deal with Boullier in return for giving Grosjean a seat?

more on Robert Kubica

"I will be flexible, because I really like Robert and it will be good to have him return, but in the middle or end of October I need clear confirmation," Boullier

the boss needs a answer. :ermm:

so i just went on the pf1 forum, it was interesting.... :blink:

they did have one good thread and that was 'the rookie of the year' thread.

nominees are.

Perez

Maldanaldo

Di Resta

D'Ambrosio

Ricciardo

so my vote goes to, (drum roll)....... lewis hamilton. :laugh:

who gets your vote?

Renault will stay with Renault, lol.

'The French manufacturer signed a new five-year engine partnership with Red Bull Racing last week while Renault F1, Team Lotus and Williams will also be using their power units in 2012'.

clicky

Edited by tweety bird

But Boullier is speaking with Cosworth as he has to pay for his engines now and that means loads of dollars he doesnt have. From what I understand Lotus (Proton owned and managed by some Danny Bahar fella didnt pay any money to the F1 team for some reason...yet they kept the car painted in their colours as they didnt want to publicly pull the colours and be without a naming sponsor. Seems the cheque is in the post which is always the case with dodgy Malaysian businesses :(

    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools. Buy Genuine Nissan 48700JF00D (48700-JF00D) Lock Set-Steering. Prices, fast shipping, photos, weight - Amayama
    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
