Why don't I understand the fascination with Kimi?

Anyone care to explain?

Yes I know he's a former world Champ, but he's been out for a long time.

I'd welcome him back, but honestly, rather than see him arrogantly step straight into a top ride, I'd like to see him in something mid pack, say, a Mercedes GP or Force India. If he's the God so many think he is, then prove it in that car, THEN, step into a front runner.

clothes *cough cars maketh the man................most of the drivers are close to or even on par if you ask me.

If Kubica joined ferrari...I will be quite happy that massa goes..but will be devastated that he is replaced by another tool !!

Who gives a shit really...as long as ferrari spruce up the car and alonso continues producing outrageous and dominating starts its all good...ferrari lack serious race pace..and thats all thats bugging me atm

I am a ferrari fan and as long as we have a semi decent driver driving for them...its all good :)

(and people like Kimi coz of his attitude and because he is a quiet performer) - subtle arrogance, quiet confidence and a high level of skill...thats what you need to be respected within the circle and by the public..IMO

it will be interesting to see if the mafia keep their word to massa.

so we've got one driver change, Jerome D'Ambrosio is out and Charles Pic is in.

this is what Christian Horner has to say to those conspiracy theories about Vettel's gearbox problem.

"Anybody that listened to the conversation between the race engineer or looked in the back of the garage at the amount of activity that was going on over that gearbox," the Red Bull team boss said."Of course there will always be people that have theories, but categorically that gearbox, how on earth it got to the end of the race is beyond me. Thankfully it did.

"If anyone thinks that was concocted in any way, I can absolutely hand on heart guarantee you that based on the blood pressure on the pit wall you can rest assured it was a genuine issue."

a question for next year is which tv broadcast will we get bbc or sky?

all i know is Jake Humphrey and David Coulthard will stay with the bbc and Martin Brundle is going to sky, no word on Eddie Jordan yet.

i think daniel will be racing with toro rosso in aus next year, whether he stays there for the year is up to his performance imo.

has anyone else every made it to F1 with only 23 races under their belt? so inexperienced the FIA didn't want to grant him a Super Licence!

And be so laid-back he's asleep half an hour before his debut race? Then go out and finish 6th!

got to be the most naturally talented driver of the modern era.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
