^that was at the old sandown gp track, if you look close you can see peter brocks torana. :)

as for Jean-Eric Vergne, there's a big difference between ''testing'' and ''racing'', for one you don't have to dodge lewis hamilton. Edited by tweety bird

The worlds most handsome F1 driver has decided he is best to sit out 2012 so who will be sitting alongside the worlds second most handsome F1 driver? Thinking about it, Renault in 2010 had one ugly line up. To think after all those pretty boy ING ads with Alonso and PK Jr...they end up with the East European Mafia in black Bonds shirts, gold chains and big noses >_<

Sponser: redbull

Engine: renualt

but they pry the Renno badges off and stick some Infiniti ones on with dbl-sided tape

classic you mention this- saw North by Northwest for the first time at the cinema tonight (don't ask), and it occured to me that Petrov must have been the love-child of Martin Landau and some ruski broad. tell me I'm wrong

more on Kubica, his manager has denied that the Pole told Renault he cannot race next season.

"I don't understand why Renault has changed Robert's words," Morelli told the Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper."It's not true he won't be ready for 2012: he stated he doesn't have certainty that he will be in shape for the first tests in February.

"We count on and hope to be ready, but in any case the delay will be a few months, 2013 was never mentioned. Renault will go its way with regards to the drivers, while we will look for alternative solutions.

"[The contract] does not extend to 2012, it ends at the end of December, so from 1st January will we be free to go in whatever direction."

Jonathan Neale has something to say about the honda rumour.

"We are very happy with and enjoying our partnership with Mercedes-Benz. We are not quite sure where that story came from in truth.

"But I can stop the rumour and say that we are entirely focused on out Mercedes-Benz relationship. It is a long one spanning many wins and Championships and long may it continue."

Story going around that Trulli's 2012 contract is not necessarily a race contract and with RBR giving them rear ends etc then Vergne or Disco Dan could be in the Caterham in 2012

Meanwhile Vergne saying he could do the same job as Webber. Webber 0.2sec quicker than Vettel, Vergne 0.6 seconds of Jaime ...he's dreaming :domokun:

update on Kubica.

We agreed, because obviously Robert couldn't start the season next year with us, or anybody actually, with Daniele Morelli to make a communication," said Boullier."So at least we could inform people about what is going on.

"He approved the communication so everything was fine. He approved it, and now he is upset with I don't know what to be honest. I don't want to comment more because it's a waste of time."

so he's out for the start, we'll probably see him in friday practice.

Nico Hulkenberg wants all or nothing.

"I hope it is a matter of one or two weeks," said the German, adding the won't remain on the race sidelines another year.

"I won't do this (being test driver) a second year. That is out of the question," he said.

Asked whether other racing events were an alternative, Hulkenberg said: "Yes, of course. But I haven't done anything (in that direction) yet."

i will be very surprise if the hulk and dan don't have drives for next year, they have shown they are very hungry and very talented imo.

"It's a little bit disappointing," the Brit, who was half a second off the pace."We're still on the second row but I would have liked to have been stronger. I'm not too happy with my performance. I just wasn't quick enough.

i found where martin brundle got his source for that kimi rumor, Andrew Benson (BBC Sport online F1 editor) posted it on twitter. :ermm:

Some driver gossip: Raikkonen to Williams looks over. Sutil new fave for that seat, but some saying their Finnish reserve Valtteri Bottas

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
