wow, who would have thought this piece of shit track would bring back boring racing

How in the fcuk are places like this and hungary allowed to be apart of the calander

Well done to vettel, just counting down the weeks until this championship is done. Kind of a shame that with the points lead he has now, he doesnt even have to win or come second to have this all locked up.

Yep, I dozed in and out of sleep, f**king waste of race weekend innit.

+1 to this.

Oh, and am I the only one getting sick of hearing "I have no KERS, KERS is gone"... then said driver immediately puts in fastest lap of the race on their next lap or two?

Lastly, DRS is as shitful a Ecclestone... if DRS must be used, can we at least have it available on corners?

6L atmo? even that is waaaay too quick.

4 cylinder sounds crap, i'm suer v6 wouldn't be that good either. inline 6 is a possibility but for packaging reasons nobody uses them in production cars any more. v8 sounds crap especially with this blown diffuser nonsense.

I'm a fan of smaller capacity V10 or V12, NA. Keep the cylinder count high, no RPM limit, and reduce capacity as required to keep power within sensible limits. Besides that I say "anything goes" with the engine as long as they still sound meaty and not tinny like a motorbike. Not really a fan of turbo, it kills the exhaust sound. V12s were before my time but the V10s sounded magnificent.

Get rid of this reliability stuff, engines and gearboxes lasting half a season etc. The random blowups used to make things interesting.

Aero needs to be simplified still further, to make it easier for cars to follow closely. That and mechanical grip needs to be improved. I think DRS has too many rules, and is a bit artificial. I have no problem with KERS because drivers are free to use it at any point in the lap.

The main thing for me is the sound. In between F1 practice sessions when the two seater V10 comes out my jaw drops and I go what... is... THAT.... :worship:

When did this happen? Lap times drop with fuel loads but I think it is safe to say that KERS makes cars quicker.

as pointless as not even putting in a time in q3? these tyre regs need the most work

from start to finish, this whole weekend has been a complete let down

Refueling would solve so many problems. Two, three or four stints where cars are driving flat out rather than circulating to manage fuel, tyres, engines and gearboxes.

Button did it last night if I recall correctly.

Also I think Webber did it a couple of times earlier this year

Fuel reduction is the main reason plus the on/off nature of some KERS modules when they get too hot.

I agree, but JB did it the lap he was heard on the team radio last night.

Whether the team radio broadcast was quite delayed I do not know.

I think you will find that those messages are delayed, have heard the commentators say as much a few times, was more than likely coincidence

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
