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

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
