lol Rory Byrne is back at the fuzz

Seems like the clean out after 2006/2007 they did was kind of a waste of time

How the hell is that rat look-a-like Domenicali still in that job

I was starting to think no one else noticed that

Williams F1 have always been a team that have managed their driving talent terribly, infact I would go as far as to say that their personnel management is f**king terrible and it has led them to where they are now.

indeed. they managed to kill senna after all! I'd call that poor management...

20cm from disaster

still, 'almost' isn't the same as 'did'

yeah just ask hamilton... he's say 'almost' isn't the same as 'completely up his side pods smashing my front wing all over his face'

Kimi Raikkonen's manager has downplayed the former World Champion's recent visit to the Williams factory.

Speculation is rife that Raikkonen, a former Sauber, McLaren and Ferrari driver, is set to make a return to Formula One with Williams after spending two seasons in the World Rally Championship.

Reports claim the Finn visited the Williams factory in Grove between the Belgian and Italian Grands Prix and many believe it is just a matter of time before a deal between him and the team is confirmed.

However, his team manager Steve Robertson has moved to play down the speculation.

"At the end of the day people know Kimi visited Williams, but there's nothing more to say apart from that," Robertson told GPUpdate.net. "There is nothing more to report."

He also refused to confirm or deny that talks had taken place in recent weeks, but added that they 'will make a comment about their future motorsport plans when they feel it is suitable to do so'.

To hell with what that snake Robertson has to say, he's back people!!

Take webbers seat already and lets do this

Not in the Diner Noel, Not in the Diner ! haha.

Jaqcues Villeneuve is a tosser, just thought I would reiterate that here again.

I think Vettel is a massive polesmoker, but I can still give credit where credit is due and say that he has driven a pretty solid season, got on top of tyres early and has just let everyone else have the problems.

Seriously, at grand prix level, they are still having clutch issues with Webber. After this long, I would really like to know what the actual deal is there.....

Hamilton could very well end up shooting himself in the foot, it only takes one bad career move and your f**ked, just look at some of the seriously quick guys through the 90's that never broke through for race wins....

Actually that is not correct. The bit about Williams, you are on the money about Vettel being a polesmoker.

Williams were always unrepentant about not giving a fk for developing drivers. They were happy to let others do it. As for the two in their cars (past & present) the policy is to let them fight it out. Ofcourse when you are 11th & 13th no one really cares anymore. Remember Piquet versus Mansell? Now that was management. >_<

He was close.. i think the move at spa was moar close tho.

it wasn't so much about the distance (well it was a bit), but moreso about just how quick his reflexes needed to be to pull off the move. one second, he is behind him, next minute he is beside him.

Robert Kubicas doc has cleared him for a return next year.

(rk doc)

"I would say with certainty that Robert will be an F1 driver in 2012," Ceccarelli told Italy's Omnicorse. "I cannot say when he will be ready, but it will be between the months of November and January.

question is if burno finished the 2011 season strong will he stay on and replace Vitaly Petrov, or will burno get the boot and Petrov stay?

it will be interesting to see what happens.

as much as i love kimi (and I do), he is not coming back to F1 ever. he's way too fat and also doesn't really seem to care anymore. plus I highly doubt he wants to go from the whole paddock sucking his finnish sausage to being just another b-grade driver at a b-grade team...

I think it's stupidity really, it's all well and good to let your drivers go for gold, but there really has to be a line somewhere.

See Jones V Reutemann....

And baron, I wouldn't call Williams a B grade team this year !

Well you may be right but as a spectator it is much better than the other approach (eg at Ferrari with Schumacher) when the No 2 is subservient in every way.

I wouldnt call Williams a B grade team this year either. I dont reckon they are that good.

The weight isn't an issue, he'd drop that in no time if he was to return to F1.

The real issue is the motivation. He seemed to lose that fire as soon as he won a WDC with Ferrari after mclaren failed him.

If he's got that spark back after some time away then I'd love to see him back in red

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
