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!

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
