Ye the McLaren is clearly the faster car at this point.

Lots of work for the teams now and will be interesting to see what happens in Malaysia. Although don't expect much improvements for a few rounds i would think

Except maybe Ferrari. The engineers were very open about their expectation of not being super competitive with the brand new car, so 5th is a stellar effort and should improve

Jenson has come a long way and deserves every bit of the success he is currently achieving, all the while having a good attitude.

Webber looks alot more comfortable this year.

Hopefully Vettel manages to find the sand trap more often.

Schumacher looking good.

Quite a good start to the season.

If Webber can't have it, would like to see Button go for a second WDC.

Cool story bro etc.

I'm not entirely convinced that Ferrari are ahead of the Torro/Williams/Sauber pack.

And I think it's because they are closer to the pack more so than Ferrari are further behind.

The race pace of Pasta was impressive - he had several mid race fastest laps and fastest sector times. Always at the top of the Speed traps too. It'd have been real interesting to see what pace he could have run at if he'd found a way past Alonzo. Real shame he binned it.

But was good for F1's to see the Williams so competitive though. Hope they can keep it up.

What would have been real interesting is an old head in the Williams. I cant help but wonder if Rubens would have got a great result for the team yesterday. A top 4 finish. I dont think Rubens will always be the better bet, but in the more chaotic races where you just have to keep punting and watch those fall off the track, Rubens has always been able to come through, especially in the lowly Honda days.

But I think Senna and Pastor are solid enough that if they are really any good they will raise to the occasion. Feelk sprry for Pastor yesterday but it was a 1st year Rookie mistake... he better not make too many more of them in 2012. Not if the Williams is as quick as it looks

We need Massa back at the front crashing into Hamilton to make sure the WCC is at least interesting this year :P

Loved how loose a lot of the cars are and am really hoping that there are a couple of wet races this year to really sort the men out from the boys.

Seems the stewards this year are going to allow a bit of biff and barge which should make it interesting.

narh, i doubt Ruben would've made a difference, he is well and truly past his use by date.

even tho i love schumacher, but sadly, i say the same to him as well.

Shame we arent using the same F1 predictions game from last year, already one round in and the other one was way more fun.

yeah the one lastyear was better, we can win prizes on this one tho and we're currently in 10th

i forgot to put all my tips in. lol

loads of catching up to do!

    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
