^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

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
