Thats a cool website.

From the profile picture if you run the 2011 Mac v 2012 Mac over the nose you see a considerable change.

However if you run the 2012 Mac over the 2011 RBR you will see an eerie similarity!

How are they similar?

The nose is beginning to look similar, ill grant you that. But the rest of the car looks much like an evolution from last year. Just a much tighter bum now that the exhaust has been optimised (no octopus), and the old U-pods are gone in favour of mp4-25 style ones

If anything, the just combined the last two years cars into one!

Looks like Homo has been called a dog by Sutil overnight for not appearing for his defence, any well wishes etc. What a farking girl, Sutil was supposed to be his friend in the F1 world!

McLaren's Lewis Hamilton obeyed team orders and swerved around the wreckage of a once firm Formula One friendship after being accused of cowardice by

former grand prix rival Adrian Sutil.McLaren effectively put a gag on the 2008 world champion after newspapers in Germany and Britain reported Sutil had branded Hamilton

a "coward" for failing to back him in a trial that ended on Tuesday.

The German was given a suspended 18-month sentence and fined €200,000 ($261,800) for a brawl in a Shanghai nightclub last April. Hamilton, who had won the Chinese Grand Prix, also attended the nightclub.

A Munich court found the former Force India driver guilty of injuring Eric Lux, chief executive of Renault F1 team owners Genii Capital, with a champagne glass in an altercation between the two.

Sutil had told the court that he had repeatedly apologised to Lux and denied it was his intention to hurt him but rather to throw a drink in his face.

The court had also wanted to hear from Hamilton but the McLaren driver was excused due to team commitments ahead of Wednesday's launch of their new car at the Woking factory in southern England.

"Lewis is a coward. I do not want to be friends with someone like that," Sutil, who had previously counted on Hamilton as one of his closest friends in the paddock after being team mates in the junior

Formula Three Euroseries, told Bild newspaper.

"For me he is not a man. Even his father sent me a text message to wish me good luck in the trial. He [Lewis] changed his cellphone number. I could not even reach him anymore."

Asked about the comments, Hamilton was prevented from replying by a team spokesman who intervened.

"We've been told that Lewis shouldn't really go there [talk about the case] because it might go under appeal. So can we move on to the next question," he said.

"I'll listen to him," smiled Hamilton.

Sutil, 29, has said he is considering some time out of the sport, something he may have little choice about with only clear vacancy remaining at struggling HRT.

The Renault team has since been renamed Lotus while Force India have already announced Germany's Nico Hulkenberg as team mate to Britain's Paul di Resta, who is managed by Hamilton's father Anthony.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Adrian Sutil hopes to lapse to F1 after being found guilty of disgusting corporeal harm

The German was handed an 18-month dangling prison tenure as well as fined $262,000

Sutil has mislaid his place during Force India for 2012 to fellow citizen Niko Hulkenberg

He accomplished ninth in a drivers’ championship in 2011, scoring 42 points

(CNN) — German motorist Adrian Sutil is assured of returning to Formula One notwithstanding reception an 18-month dangling prison judgment for disgusting corporeal mistreat upon Tuesday.

The former Force India motorist was additionally fined €200,000 ($262,000) for injuring Eric Lux, arch senior manager of a Lotus team’s owners Genii Capital, with a champagne potion in a Shanghai nightclub after final April’s Chinese Grand Prix.

Sutil mislaid his chair with Britain-based Force India for 2012 as well as was transposed by his fellow citizen Nico Hulkenberg — who final raced for Williams in 2010.

The 29-year-old’s representative is anticipating to find Sutil a upon all sides inside of F1 prior to a latest deteriorate starts in Australia upon Mar 18, though his options have been singular with Spanish marque HRT a usually group upon a grid with a chair nonetheless to be filled.

Can Senna revive intrigue to Formula One?

His bent didn’t humour from a verdict, you have been right away exploring a possibilities that exist in Formula One

Manfred Zimmerman

“He’s still a race-car driver,” Manfred Zimmermann told CNN. “His bent didn’t humour from a verdict. We have been right away exploring a possibilities that exist in Formula One.

“We will do a many appropriate to find a place there again as well as usually time will discuss it if we’re successful. The many critical thing to Adrian is that Lux supposed his apology.

“They shook hands as well as right away they can pierce on. A bucket has been taken off Adrian’s shoulders. Otherwise, we’re presumption Adrian has a destiny in Formula One as well as will find his place again shortly enough.”

Zimmerman pronounced Sutil has no strait skeleton outward of a chosen motorsport should he not have a possibility to supplement to his 90 competition starts.

“We’ll usually consider about that if all else falls through,” Zimmerman said.”But we’re presumption that all will work out.”

Sutil accomplished ninth in a drivers’ standings final deteriorate with 42 points. His top finish was sixth, that he completed during his home competition in Germany as well as during a season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix.

stfu Sutil; glassing people is a dog act

not surprised Hamo doesn't wanna be associated with such asswipes

Are you kidding? General powder room gossip has had the event as an accident, not a deliberate glassing. Meant to throw a drink over a tosspot whose behaviour was out of line and in the cufunkle copped a glass in the face. No charges were made in China, where the accident occured. It seems a German can be charged with a crime that took place abroad, against a non German in Germany.

I am a long way from letting Dog Hamilton off the hook for this one. We will never know, but it appears as though Hamilton abandoned a mate rather then supporting him to protect his own neck from any publicity of involvement. Hamo has hung out with Sutil post the event, and the two have been fine so a bit late/convenient to drop his mate in the shit a few days before the trial saying busy with media committments.

I am with Sutil on this one. I would be curious to read the actual verdict. What was the charge? A suspended sentence sounds like a slap on the wrist, and the 200k to charity sounds like a good will gesture.

I have read he was charged with aggravated assault, other sources say grievous bodily harm or both. None of those require intent. They are both misdemeanor and not felonies because the intent to commit the crime is lacking, but rather then accidental, the behavior is wreckless hence the more serious charge over assault. Well at least thats what I can remember from High Scool Legal Studies (20 years ago :( ) so if thats wrong would love to know the facts!

Sloppy journalism in this day and age means you don't even get the facts behind the story. I am not 100% sure why the case was even heard in Munich and no charges were laid in China. Did the German Police file charges or is Lux able to file a charge in a German court and it is obliged to be heard if agaisnt a German citizen ? It all smells as though a man with means filing a private law suit over bruised ego...and a few unfortunate scars.

The whole Lux attacked by Sutil is BS IMO. Story goes a friend of Lux spilled a drink on Sutil. Lux gets power happy and throws his weight around asking Sutil to leave. Sutil responds by returning the favour and attempting to spill the contents of his glass over Lux...and woops. Things go pear shaped. I can almost guess the friend of Lux was a good sort, who perhaps threw a drink at Sutil? Then Lux , the man in shining armour comes in "you better leave" all with a few people pushing out their chests being hard men in 10k suits! >_< Sutil goes to hurl a drink at him...and yeh...pear shaped.

The fact that Lux is running around saying a phone call isnt enough of an apology, but instead wants a face to face apology tells me this it is more about bruised ego rather then a genuine victim of assault. Otherwise he would want nothing of an apology and would be talking convictions.

Hamo is a dog as 10 days before the trial he was attending to give evidence on behalf of Sutil. Then 5 days before pulls the pin because of media commitments. Fark me I would know what is more important!

Anyway, moving on...

Mates? Well he wont have many distractions for the coming season. Nobody on the grid likes him. His Mrs dumped him. He walked away from this Dad. Dennis isnt around as much to protect/support him. Whitmarsh seems more open to the two drivers and has never used words like "petulant" to describe Button...but has used such language for Hamilton.

His support network on race weekends seems non-existant. Hoping his 2012 season is a cluster fark and his candle blows out and McLaren dont meet his pay demands at end of year. He will be remembered as a great talent, who was lucky to win a WDC whose most mature performance as an F1 driver was his first season. After that hsi head seems to spend half the time off in the clouds, and the other half up his ass. :domokun:

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
