Talk about taking things out of context guy.

let me replay it for you... emphasis mine.

I hope it does

Will more than likely push ferrari further down the WCC order with their distict (sic) lack of point scoring ability

and hip-hip-horay for that

Somthing (sic) similar could be said about schumi

let me replay the first sentence for you...

"except that before the last race, it was only Schumi who had scored points for Merc this year."

where's the similarity?

Interesting, will they favour webber now?

Of course not, he is the driver essentially on the out. Unless after 3 more races and Web's is higher in the points scale and performing better etc - then it'll still favour Vetool.

Don't forget that Web's has only really risen back to the spotlight so to speak because Vetool is not performing, combined with the flat tyre etc. I think it's still way to early in the season for RBR to make Vetool play 2nd fiddle. If only Webber could start a F1 car as good as other drivers, the start hurts his entire race. Imagine he started well like all other drivers from his quali positions, would be a much better first lap out as being mid-pack has so much risk with being taken out!

I don't think its a case of Vettel not performing. Its just back to 2010 where Vettel didnt really like the balance of the car and often Webber had a pace advantage, equally as often Vettel had a slightly better setup and pace. Remember up until the introduction of the blown diffuser in Hungary 2010 Webber had won more GPs, leading the points and had every bit of the quali and race pace Vettel did. BUT, come Hungary with the change in the blown diffuser Vettel instantly was a few tenths quicker. Webber won in Hungary because Vettel goofed...but it was clear Webber struggled with the car compared to Vettel. That continued all the way through 2011.

Now, no blown diffuser and its interesting. Webber is a long way from dominating Vettel, but its clear he is back on the pace of Vettel and to date he has just had a little more fortune then Vettel so in turn is ahead on points.

I look forward to the car development this year. I hope to see RBR get a bit more quali pace as if the are to be a hunt in the WDC they need to be on the front two rows for the race and solid podiums week in week out. Otherwise McLaren will just grind away and walk away with the WDC/WCCs

I think that's pretty much on the money Roy, Vettel and the EBD we're made for each other it totally suited his driving style, not so much for webber. Whether both sides of the garage shared all there of throttle maps I don't think we would ever know for sure, but that's tin foil hat stuff anyway. The most pressing issue is getting the drs front wing f duct onto the rb8 because it seems looking at rosberg in china it's a huge advantage for tyre management to have pole.

Yeah, sounds about right.

Definitely too early, long season ahead, anything is possible.

you should. the only reason Schumacher hasn't been in the points more often is mechanical failures, which forced his retirement from 2nd and 3rd. There's no similarity between that and trundling around in the back half of the field while your team mate scores all the points. In fact, last weekend was the first time Nico had been ahead of Schumacher on merit in a race this year.

anyway, looking forward to this weekend. The hotter temps will be a good test of whether the Merc's race form was just down to the cooler temps in China or if they've actually sorted their rear tyre degradation issues.

outside of something strange happening, The Merc will be out the front again, and with no traffic to content with, i cant see why last weekend wont be repeated

Unless they slip into the pack it looks like a merc powered white wash to me

hopefully the iceman gets his stratagy sorted and we see him bumping wheels for a podium this week

    • Haha no I'll do that one tomorrow. I've been ignoring it. It's the 5.0 one I'm taking about. (There is a little X to hide the 4.7 one if you want)
    • So I'm going to have to keep ignoring the 4.7 update, or whatever version it is? Poop. I was hoping you'd put me out of my misery.
    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • 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
