I think Kimi is plenty motivated to drive a car as fast as possible. What I think he has no time for is all the media appearances and fluff associated with beinga driver in F1. I am sure Williams will be nowhere near as demanding of his time then McLaren and Ferrari.

I think he was still plenty motivated in his last season at Ferrari. you only have to look how bad Fisi was in the same car to realise just how bad the car was....remembering that Fisi almost beat Kimi at Spa in a Force India a few GP earlier....he could not get anywhere near Kimi when in the same car. And as the year rolled on without Massa and the car setup went towards Kimi then the pace improved.

I'd love to see Kimi back in F1. The most naturally talented driver of the last decade. The story of his path to F1 is pretty remarkable.

Also hope the story of the Kube's recovery is true!

no Daniel Ricciardo at the indian gp.

part of the deal was for the Australian to step aside at the Indian GP, allowing Narain Karthikeyan to return to the race-seat that was initially his.

I hope Kubica comes back as well. But I'm not going to get my hopes up too much until I see how he goes in a car.

Maybe if Ricky has a good run between now and then they can dump the spacer in the other car instead.

there'a more to Massa v Lewis at the Singapore Grand Prix.

The controversy over Massa's run-in with Lewis Hamilton is refusing to die down after formula1.com revealed an official video edit of the race in which Massa's race engineer Smedley could be heard saying: "Hold Hamilton as much as we can. Destroy his race as much as we can. Come on, boy..."

i cannot find the video on youtube, if you want to see it you will have to sign up to formula1.com. :)

Edited by tweety bird

Its all a load of UK-BBC/Internet hogwash.

Smedley gives Massa a 2sec pep talk to get him to lift his game and keep pace so that come pitstops Massa will stay ahead...and the whiney poms are making out that somehow Massa had Hamo off or forced Hamo to run into the back of him

So, ie next. Ready to move on! :)

Alonso is fighting for second place in the WDC, so any points they can stop Hamilton from scoring will only help...I don't see an issue with Massa being told to destroy someones race, as long as he does it fairly (staying in front of them).

Besides, it was Hamilton, he doesn't need any help f**king his race up.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
