Funny how 0.5 sec is an irrelevance in the real world, yet an eternity in F1 terms. damn that quick little barstid

surely 2012 can only get better for him

Year for the second title?.. if somehow the RB8 manages to be a dog all season

hmmm...

Webz has a brain explosion in an interview and puts it on the front row. Only 3 tenths behing Seb in Singapore is a good effort. he has been positively shit around Singapore in past years. lets hope Vettel pulls a heart muscle and gets too hot to bother and Webber can bring it home.

First corner will be interesting :)

mr predictions for tonights race

hamilton takes out vettel at the first corner

button has a relatively ordinary first half of the race then comes home like a baws

webber half a lap down by the time he manages to get to the first corner, then he too comes home like a baws until he tries to shortcut the track by launching himself over the wall, using a slower car as a kicker ramp (valencia 2010 style), and then in the interview asking what happened he just says "yeah, i fucked up"

... What is his longest run of points finishes and when was it?

So getting back Heir Hackness. Maybe I am over stating the significance, but his longest run of points finishes without binning cars and crashing etc was the first 9 races of 2007! His best run of consistant, solid race results was his first ever, 9 F1 races.

To me that says his head was in the right place when he first came into F1. He was focused and most importantly disciplined and as a rookie, no doubt concerned about his arrival and impact in the sport...showed amazing maturity to be so fast and consistant.

Then, he seems to have figured he has proven his point, his discipline disappears and the real, show boat Lewis who is a tad petulant and hot headed turns up to GP weekends, who way too often throws away points for Mclaren...yet still wants to be thought of as one of the best in F1.

Sure, he may be one of the quickest most natural drivers in F1, but results speak volumes and he has thrown away so many points...he needs to get his sh1t together if he doesnt want to go down as a lucky 1 time WDC who in his time was left for dead by the likes of Vettel, Alonso and some of the young punters who are coming up through the ranks

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
