webber on good form with 17 "umm" "err" in what? a minute?

Maybe he needs to have a brain injury like Molly Meldrum to cure himself??

Still cheering the Chin on from the clean side of the track. Hook it up, fake to the inside and drive it around the outside of the Biebster into the first turn.

Daniel Ricciardo says he got "better and better" in each session as he worked his way to a career-high P6 grid slot for Sunday's Bahrain GP.

While his team-mate Jean-Eric Vergne struggled on the other end of the timesheets, Ricciardo demonstrated his talent around the 5.412 km-long Sakhir circuit.

Breaking into Q3 - for the second time in four races - Ricciardo impressed as he clocked a 1:32.912, which put him less than half a second behind pole-sitter Sebastian Vettel.

"It feels very good and I am very happy with that result," said Ricciardo.

"We had a below average week in China with some updates we brought. We persisted with them and we made them work significantly better here, which is down to the hard work of the whole team.

"My communication with the team was also very good and it has helped us get into Q3. I was happy with my driving and I got better and better in each of the sessions. It's not always you have a day like this, so I can enjoy the moment, bearing in mind that it's tomorrow that counts."

He added: "Now we have to put it all together for the race and tonight we will be looking at all our strategy options regarding tyres.

"It helps to go into a race feeling confidence and starting from sixth, I have to focus on scoring as many points as possible, as this is the best chance we have had so far. I hope I am still smiling tomorrow evening."

Meanwhile, Vergne, who qualified P19, is under investigation for ignore the red light at the weighbridge.

    • I refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.
    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
