I read somewhere that williams scored less than 1% of redbulls total points haul in 2011

... less than 1%

2012 is a big year for williams, another performance like that again and they'll never make it back

agreed, they need top ten finishes.

at least.

if burno had a better season with renault, he might have had a better chance of staying in f1 but i think the best he can hope for is as a number three driver.

i sill don't think he has what it takes to be champion atm, he might come good later.

maybe.

fcuk she's hot airbrished

But she is crazy hot...though should never speak :)

Williams seems to be going the way of Tyrrel :( I know they exist as a race team that owns everything so dont have some of the pressures of other teams in debt or with need for infrastructure....but they are going backwards and have not had a very good season since Heidfeld-Webber where they were at least hunting podiums and top 5 finishes. They look at looong way from there these days.

I really hope they turn it around in 2012, but even thought Maldanado wasnt terrible and Rubens can still get the job done on his day...but they need momentum and that means a top level driver, and a 203 year plan to build engineering staff and pace

the date has been set.

Kimi Raikkonen will return to Formula 1 action in a 2010-specification Renault at Valencia on January 23-24.A Lotus team source has confirmed to AUTOSPORT that Raikkonen will have two days of running in the Renault R30 to re-acclimatise to F1 machinery after not having driven a grand prix car since the 2009 season finale in Abu Dhabi.

The team has been working on scheduling a test since he was originally signed for 2012, as reported by AUTOSPORT magazine last month.

While the two-year-old Renault cannot run on Pirelli's race rubber, it should at least give Raikkonen the chance to familiarise himself with the specification of tyre used for demo running.

Raikkonen had a seat fitting at Lotus's Enstone base last week. Speaking last month, he said that he expects to have little trouble getting back up to speed.

"I don't think I've lost any speed," he told the Lotus official website. "Getting on top of the tyres will be the hardest thing, of course, but I'm not really worried.

"We don't test the new car until February, so it's a long wait. However, I should be able to jump into a two-year-old F1 car in January.

"Learning Pirelli's tyres will be the most important job as it's a different approach from what I experienced before."

Bruno Senna "will race for Williams" this season according to one of his backer, Brazil's richest businessman Eike Batista.

Last season, Brazilian company EBX announced that they would sponsor Senna when the 28-year-old stepped up to replace Nick Heidfeld at Lotus Renault GP.

And it appears that the company, which is headed by Batista, will continue to back the Brazilian.

Senna, though, is currently without a Formula One race-seat for this year's Championship, although rumours have linked him to Williams.

And although the 28-year-old insists that for now they are just rumours, Batista is adamant it's only a matter of time before the deal is announced.

"Simple, he will race for Williams," Batista tweeted.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
