Lewis Hamilton continued to set the pace in Canada as the McLaren driver finished a mere 0.054s ahead of Fernando Alonso on Friday afternoon.

Jean-Eric Vergne got proceedings underway with a 1:21.108 but within five minutes was outside the top ten with Kamui Kobayashi, Kimi Raikkonen and Nico Rosberg taking the P1 slot. The benchmark was down to 1:16.738.

Pastor Maldonado was the next to lead the way as Timo Glock had the sessions first incident as he spun his Marussia at Turn 1 and came to a halt in the middle of the track facing the wrong direction. Thankfully everyone was aware he was there and avoided him before he spun around and continued on his way.

Rosberg returned to the front before losing out to Fernando Alonso. Minutes later the Spaniard became the latest in a long list to get it wrong at Turn 8. But while most cut the grass, Alonso put his F2012 into a full 360' across the grass and returned to the action at Turn 9.

Lewis Hamilton took over at the front on the super soft tyres and lap by lap lowered his lap time to a 1:15.439. With drivers switching to longer runs, Hamilton was secure in the P1 slot when the session was red flagged.

With 40 minutes remaining in practice, Bruno Senna lost the back end of his Williams into the Turn 14, the infamous Wall of Champions. The Brazilian, who was testing the latest rear wing, hit it backwards hard before his FW34 rebounded to hit the wall again with the front right.

Back underway with 30 minutes left, the drivers were quickly out on track. The two Ferraris were the big movers with Alonso taking second place, 0.054s down on Hamilton, and Felipe Massa third.

Practice Two ended with Hamilton in the P1 slot with a 1:15.259 followed by the two Ferraris. Sebastian Vettel was fourth while a late appearance from Jenson Button after a gearbox change put him down in 13th place.

Senna is going to find himself coming under rather close scrutiny soon. I am pretty confident in saying Rubens would have smashed his performances to date in the same car....and Williams will be having to look very hard for any signs of promise in light of the fact they have a competitive car and yet Senna has had some rather poor showings.

I like the guy and want to see him do well...but :( A bit like Dan, I think he needs some strong showings in the next few races and that French Fellow (FF) is doing a great job in the races

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
