Is Brawn already fishing for Vettel?

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/95260

Saying he is good but has the best car. After two titles with Flav and the boys MS wanted the challeneg of winning in a team that needed a major step in performance. I think he is being clever at planting a "if Vettel wants to be remembered as being as good as MS then he needs to come to a team like Mercedes and takes up from 4-8 on the grid to the front row"

FYP, Brawn you toss pot

Brawn'd just be the mouthpiece for what the paymasters at Mercedes really want- A current, bonafide, German racing hero rather than an older one who doesn't really deliver.

Can't see Sebby being interested in such a thing, unless he has an especially strong patriotic streak we aren't yet aware of.

Yeah it'd be a massive risk for vettel to go to merc, unlike button going to mclaren which was a pretty safe move, and button was gutsy enough to take on hamilton one-on-one. Imagine if vettel goes to mercedes and it turns out rosberg is an amazing driver.

Leaving newey and a team built around you would be pretty crazy

I suppose if they drive a mining truck full of 100 Euro notes up to his front door he'd be tempted, but I'm sure all he really wants is as many race wins as possible, which will almost certainly see him staying put.

Seb is far to fixated on statistics and 'firsts'

If Redbull start to fall away, which they eventually will, mercedes wont be that bad a move for him. The all german line up with some of the best people running the show? The little homosexual will be there like a gunshot

and for those of you who thought the Korean track was a muddy shithole last year... wait untill you see how horrible its going to be this year. They have done NOTHING since last year, it may have even gotten worse.

This is why people avoid buying anything made in Korea. Theres just no love.

from F1 regarding development of cars this year

Q: The title’s obviously gone - how does that affect the development schedule for 2012?

JN: Inevitably we have shifted the focus, but in Formula One you want to have your cake and eat it, so we’re shifting the development on this year’s car to areas for next year, whilst learning from this year’s car as well. Clearly there are changes to regulations, in particular in regards to the exhaust regulations. But front and rear wings and floor development are all carry-over learning, so anything we are developing for the MP4-27 we’ll try and pull forward and bring in for this season if we possibly can.

i dont think seb will stay with redbull for the rest of his career... he will look for more of a challenge, when it's time.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
