Is everybody else able to read stories in the autosport website? I am no longer able to read articles. It looks like they have gone full pay access

Also, all wait/pray for now is for Senna to get the ass. To think he almost tricked me with the few races he had at Lotus last year. Upon reflection you can understand why Heidfeld was so pissed off for losing his seat to the worlds nicest but slowest F1 driver

Whats everyones thoughts on D-Ric keeping his drive?

I personally think he has showed some pretty good promise. Definitely has qualfying pace and it he gets abit more agressive at the start or races, could get some good results IMO.

I think he definitely deserves another season. I don't see any reason TR would change either driver, to be honest.

Yeh, Dan has at least pulled a crazy P6 quali from the car. Would have had points in Monza but a failure, 8th on the weekend but a failure. There has been enough glimmer there as well as absence of stupid things to keep him in the hunt. I think Vergne shoudl be retained but his age and less experience has shown with his wacky driven in Valencia, i read a driving error at Monza put him out at the first corner lose....and he hasnt really shown a ot of quali pace...but is a strong racer amd both seem to have great attitudes and work well together

Caterham are coming out saying they will have some major news in the next few days. Hopefully they are poaching good staff off Force India for next year

Felipe Massa has had a kerb at the Buddh International Circuit named after him, but for all the wrong reasons.

The inaugural Indian GP last year was Massa's 150th grand prix start, but the Ferrari driver will remember the race for making a couple of wrong moves.

The Brazilian hit the high kerb on the inside of Turn 8, breaking his right-front suspension and sending him into the barriers during qualifying and he was again at it on the Sunday as too much kissing of the other side of the kerb caused damage to his left-front suspension and forced him to retire.

Massa immediately urged authorities to make sure that they look at the area ahead of the 2012 race and the race officials have heeded those calls.

They have not only dubbed it the "Massa kerb", but Turns 6-7 and 8-9 have been extended from 5m width to 15m.

"We have added additional sausage kerbs to deter the drivers even more," a BIC official told the Times Of India.

"Last year there were questions raised by Ferrari but Massa's broken suspension had nothing to do with the kerbs."

Another change at the BIC will see astroturf lining to provide additional safety to run-off areas at Turns 2-3 and 7-8.

The London Grand Prix remains a pipe dream with Bernie Ecclestone admitting the race is unlikely to get support from the government.

Formula 1 engine supplier Cosworth has put itself up for sale after relinquishing hopes of floating on the stock market.

The Times newspaper reports Cosworth had instructed JP Morgan Cazenove to seek an initial public offering some 18 months ago, but the move has been ruled out because of the instability of the market.

Thailand's government sports authority says it has struck an in-principle deal to host a Formula One race in Bangkok in 2014, with negotiations ongoing about the hosting fee, according to a report in The Nation newspaper.

Kanokphand Chulakasem, governor of the Sports Authority of Thailand, was quoted as saying "Formula One has decided to include Thailand in its 2014 season calendar" with a race slated for November.

He said the government will fund 60 percent of the cost, with the rest coming from sponsors including Red Bull - half Thai-owned - and the Singha brewing group. The SAT governor said talks were proceeding between F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone and representatives of Red Bull chief Chalerm Yoovidhya.

"Once the negotiations are complete, we will bring this before the cabinet for discussion and approval," Kanokphand was quoted as saying. "We will sign a deal only after we get the nod from the government."

He said the hosting fee would not be more than that paid by Singapore in its just-completed contract, which he said was 1.2 billion baht ($39.2 million) per year.

Areas reportedly under consideration for a circuit include the historic Rajdamnoen government district in central Bangkok, the city's Klong Toei port area or the northern suburb of Muang Thong Thani. Kanokphand said there had been feasibility talks with F1 officials about the prospective areas.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
