Its 2010 again when after Silverstone there was talk that Webber was off to Ferrari. I doubt it but would be a cool way to finish up your F1 career

imagine if webber did go to the fez. would lead to possibly the best team mate racing in F1 for a long time. i don't think the team bosses would like a repeat of Eau Rouge from last season though

anyway, back in 2012

Mclaren have tried to secretly test a new nose in Mugello

Oddly, they only used it for in and out laps, in the hope nobdy would notice. Theres absolutely no mention of it on technical forums or websites, which is strange as its a decent change in philosophy for front end aero.

Left is old, right is new

Oh the noise up that famous hill.....

And the old layout seems more of an adventure. Gutted it changed before I got there

Webber has always gone well up against Vettel in Spain. Here is to hoping he can edge Vettel and others out and start a nice little patch of victories and podiums. I am tipping RBR this weekend to be strong along with Lotus...McLaren will struggle again is my tip

the new nose gives me the impression that it may have a bit of flex to it. probably won't, but for some reason that curved look just makes me think of flex

    • They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
