shame for Williams and Maldonardo. nasty hit!

Good to see the right man from McLaren won!

RBR had surprising race pace. Looks like being a good close battle between those teams this year.

Hats off to Alonso dragging that dog Ferrari home in 5th. They've got some serious catching up to do, yet again... Seems they've swapped places with Mercedes from last season. Maybe even further down the field in reality.

Man its tight between a whole lot of other teams!!! Bring on next weekend :)

I have had problems in my life. But next weekend, having to get up at 6am in Belgium to watch the Malaysian GP, just in time to walk out the door of the Hotel to cut laps at Spa in the Caterham? Thats not a problem I mind having. :ph34r:

Caterham seem a bit quicker and close to the tail enders, but they are really in limbo. Nowhere near STR/Sauber/Williams but well ahead of the Marussia/HRT. Disappointing that their cars are still unreliable :blush:

was a great race (from what little amount they showed). plenty of close battles all the way through the pack.

glad to see massa off to a great start by finding someone new to run into and scoring a DNF.

would've liked to have seen where Dan would've finished if he hadn't had to pit on the first lap for a new front wing.

Why has Ferrari kept Massa and not just paid how his contract and sent him packing? What do they owe him or what does he have over them? They should have dropped him when he got smacked in the head!

my guess is that they feel bad about him getting smacked in the head

just saw that the 2011 tour de france coverage by sbs has been nominated for a logie for best sports coverage. no surprises there really given that during the 3 weeks of racing they probably have less ads than what channel 10 showed today, and only talk to people who know what they are talking about.

And brilliant commentators who make you hate going to toilet/to eat etc. Anything that makes you leave the couch!

If Perez keeps driving like he did today! Massa could easily be pushed aside mid season and Sauber grab some other rookie or blood

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      Rusty roof repair

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
