Alonso was given an FF for his win on the weekend.

After winning the Malaysian Grand Prix against all odds, the Scuderia Ferrari and Luca di Montezemolo in particular were so pleased they’ve given Fernando Alonso a small ‘FF’ present. Speaking

of a ‘welcome home’ gift. The Spaniard returned to Ferrari’s home base Maranello to thank the technicians and mechanics personally and di Montezemolo thought it would be nice to mark the occasion

with a gift. Ferrari has been struggling in pre-season but the result last weekend boosts the teams confidence. Despite that team principal Stefano Domenicali said that there is still plenty of work to do.

Recently the Ferrari FF by Pininfarina won the 2012 Design Award at the Geneva Motor Show. So what will Alonso get for winning the F1 championship? An F12berlinetta, or maybe Ferrari’s ultimate V12 Enzo successor?

BBC F1 technical analyst Gary Anderson believes Red Bull are "not coping well" with not being at the front of the grid.

After sweeping all before them during the 2011 campaign, Red Bull and World Champion Sebastian Vettel have found life a lot tougher during the first two races of this year.

The team have struggled during qualifying and Vettel is yet to start on the second row of the grid, let alone the front row. Although he finished second in Australia, he didn't really challenge race winner

Jenson Button while in Malaysia he was forced to retire with a puncture when he was P4.

The German's frustrations got the better of him at Sepang as he gave the middle finger to Narain Karthikeyn after they collided. He also criticised the HRT driver after the race, saying "there are a few cucumbers on the road".

It is certainly a different experience for Vettel and the rest of the Red Bull team, and Anderson feels they are yet to come to grips with the fact that they are no longer the pacesetters.

"Red Bull are definitely not a happy camp - that's clear from speaking to management at the team, and seeing Sebastian Vettel's display of emotion after the race in Malaysia," he told BBC F1.

"It is not the first time Vettel has betrayed that emotional side to his character when things have not been going his way.

"You could even see that frustration in him in Abu Dhabi last year when he got his puncture at the start - and that was one race out of a season he had dominated.

"So if he's going to react like that then, will he spit his dummy out when two or three races go wrong?

"All the way through the team, they are clearly not coping well with no longer being at the front."

Anderson believes the Milton Keynes outfit's struggles may be down to the two major regulation changes this season.

"Exhaust-blown diffusers were banned, and load tests on front wings were stiffened up, preventing the edges of the wing dipping towards the track to improve downforce," he said.

"In the last two years, Red Bull's big benefit was in having a car on which they did not have to do much work at a race meeting. But in Malaysia, for the first time ever, I saw them changing torsion bars, roll-bars, ride heights and so on.

"They are obviously still trying to find their feet with their new car - there were not many times during the race weekend in Malaysia when they looked like the real opposition. They clearly have a lot of work to do."

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
