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. :)

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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
