Funny how 0.5 sec is an irrelevance in the real world, yet an eternity in F1 terms. damn that quick little barstid

surely 2012 can only get better for him

Year for the second title?.. if somehow the RB8 manages to be a dog all season

hmmm...

Webz has a brain explosion in an interview and puts it on the front row. Only 3 tenths behing Seb in Singapore is a good effort. he has been positively shit around Singapore in past years. lets hope Vettel pulls a heart muscle and gets too hot to bother and Webber can bring it home.

First corner will be interesting :)

mr predictions for tonights race

hamilton takes out vettel at the first corner

button has a relatively ordinary first half of the race then comes home like a baws

webber half a lap down by the time he manages to get to the first corner, then he too comes home like a baws until he tries to shortcut the track by launching himself over the wall, using a slower car as a kicker ramp (valencia 2010 style), and then in the interview asking what happened he just says "yeah, i fucked up"

... What is his longest run of points finishes and when was it?

So getting back Heir Hackness. Maybe I am over stating the significance, but his longest run of points finishes without binning cars and crashing etc was the first 9 races of 2007! His best run of consistant, solid race results was his first ever, 9 F1 races.

To me that says his head was in the right place when he first came into F1. He was focused and most importantly disciplined and as a rookie, no doubt concerned about his arrival and impact in the sport...showed amazing maturity to be so fast and consistant.

Then, he seems to have figured he has proven his point, his discipline disappears and the real, show boat Lewis who is a tad petulant and hot headed turns up to GP weekends, who way too often throws away points for Mclaren...yet still wants to be thought of as one of the best in F1.

Sure, he may be one of the quickest most natural drivers in F1, but results speak volumes and he has thrown away so many points...he needs to get his sh1t together if he doesnt want to go down as a lucky 1 time WDC who in his time was left for dead by the likes of Vettel, Alonso and some of the young punters who are coming up through the ranks

    • Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.
    • I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.
    • For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
    • I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.
    • Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
