That's because they didn't show him on airtime at all for whatever reason, had a reasonable race by the looks of it!

Reasonable race overall, lots of stuff ups still with penalties and pit issues.

Also interesting to see the RBR team with a clear issue with the front nose cone.

No-one seriously hurt I trust.

Glad the fire didn't start during the race.

Someone at the celebratory dinner has got to say, "Pass da pasta Pastor"

From best previous performance of 8th > 1st now is great news & great driving.

Williams working to determine cause of fire, FIA says 31 people treated in total

It is so far confirmed only nine members were from F1 teams but other team personnel were understood to be involved.

Caterham said four of its members had been taken to the medical centre for examination, while another Force India mechanic had also suffered from smoke inhalation and was under observation.

Formula 1's ruling body, the FIA, said a total of 31 people were seen by medical staff from the circuit. Seven had been transferred to local hospitals.

no one seriously hurt that we know of terry.

nice to see people form other teams helping them.

PS Pic 4:- Those red hoses need reinforcement in the walls, since they kink badly

Aren't those lay flat hoses? THey store flat on a reel (take up less space) and only fill out when they've got high pressure in them. If so, those kinks will do nothing to stem the flow. The hose is flexible enough to allow the water through, even with the kinks in them. The amount of water they flow is overkill anyway (if you have good pressure) so the small reduction in flow won't make a big difference to their firefighting needs.

Thanks, I'll accept that; but the same hose in Pic 3 seems to be emitting better flow (notwithstanding that the pressure + the nozzle position are the same).

Overkill? In this instance, you're probably right. Ta.

    • 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.
