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.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
