It will be a case of as you were at Toro Rosso next season after the team confirmed Jean-Eric Vergne and Daniel Ricciardo.

Ricciardo had a stint with HRT last year before moving to Toro Rosso for the 2012 campaign.

"I am really pumped to know that I am continuing with Scuderia Toro Rosso for another season and want to thank the team and Red Bull," Ricciardo said.

"There are big expectations for next year and I'm ready and willing to fulfil them.

"I feel I have been growing and developing as a driver and my approach to the technical side of the sport has also progressed this year, so I am sure that will serve me well in my second season with Toro Rosso.

"We have had quite a tough season, but despite that, I have always enjoyed a good relationship with all the guys and I am delighted at the idea of working with them for another year."

Team boss Franz Tost added: "Both drivers have done a good job this season. Daniel joined us with a few grands prix under his belt and so his feedback and experience was particularly useful while Jean-Eric got up to speed, often having to deal with tracks he had never seen before.

The Hulk is going to Sauber next year.

The rumours of his move to super Swiss Sauber subsided somewhat spectacularly over the last couple of weeks, some were saying he would stay with Force India, some even suggested he was going to replace Stoner at Repsol Honda.

Whaddya reckon? The Hulk for Perez? Has Saubers line up improved? I think.... perhaps?

Yes. If for no other reason than they will have someone to qualify well. Di Resta must be less than happy though.

So where to for Jaime. He has hung around the BBC team , Pirelli test driver and stated that he is confident of a good seat for 2013. Looks like Force India, but if he can bring a few dollars of personal sponsorship I would love to see him at Caterham....though he did say the 2013 drive was a step up from his 2011 seat

Force India is my bet for jaime as i don't see him as a 'pay driver' instead more of a 'paid driver' after his rant on williams (about pay drivers) which is also another team i'd like to see him race for with maldonado.

Williams will be interesting. Who they put in that seat will speak volumes about how serious they are and whether they are ready to man up and put a good pilot in the car at the cost of funding.

FI have already lost a few people which makes me think that next year they will not be as competitive and would bet serious money that STR will jump them next year. I dare say Caterham may even step up with some of the technical people they have on board.

re the aus gp and the people going.

apparently nismo is starting his own restaurant in melbourne.

what do you think boys, sau dinner?

Red Bull expects Mark Webber to do what is best for the team if circumstances dictate that he needs to help Sebastian Vettel.

With the championship battle distilling down to a straight fight between Vettel and Fernando Alonso, Webber could play a crucial role in the outcome of the title battle.

But although Red Bull will not impose any direct orders on Webber until he is mathematically out of the championship hunt, team principal Christian Horner said on Thursday that he has no doubts the Australian knows what is expected of him.

"Mark is a strong competitor and he is a big team player," explained Horner. "I am quite convinced that he will want to see the team achieve its best possible results.

"I am sure as a team player, if required, he will do everything to support the team.

"Mathematically now it is very difficult for him to win the championship and he is a smart guy. He has been an important part of the team and I have every confidence that he will be doing his best to help the team achieve its objectives for the championship."

When asked to expand on whether any direct instructions have been given to Webber, Horner said: "I think you can talk about so many scenarios and then a scenario you haven't talked about is the one that comes up.

"Mark is a bright guy, and he has been around a long time. He is a key member of the team and I think that he will be able to do his best.

"His primary objective is to make sure we achieve the constructors' championship and for us that we have got both drivers ahead of Fernando [Alonso].

"He was desperately unlucky last week not to keep Fernando behind after having to run reduced power and KERS for most of the race. So he will be driving his best to ensure that we have got two Red Bulls right up the front end."

Whomever they put in will be a pay driver. Which is not to say they wont be any good. It used to be that pay drivers were universally shite. But nowadays you dont get through the lower formula without bringing coin. That it carries on to F1 isnt a massive surprise.

Hope Caterham goes ok next year. They actually appear to be half serious, unlike the other two noob teams.

Shits me about Webber, it was a similar situation to what we have here back in 2010 and you read "Mark is an intelligent team player" when back in 2010 we dont believe in team orders and no talk of Zetool doing what is right for the team. Again Mark has thrown away a strong championship challenge with some strange no shows. He comes good when we go to Europe at the start of the year and he comes good for the final few GPs of the year. Where the hell is he at the start of the season and the 3rd quarter :(.

I am tempted not to even bother to tune in after lap 2 this weekend. Watching Vettel steam role makes me want to cry. I want to see his Kers f**k up every 3rd race

Yep He is up against all the clones.

Forza Fernando !

Maybe the angst Homo feels against Vettel who ripped his stats to bits as the youngest most successful driver ever !

may lead to a crash of epic proportions.

Leaving Mark to take the win !

with Nando a close second.

Hey you have to give the Chin a Chance.

Regardless of what Marco wants !

Go Webber, and thats from a Jockaneese tiffosi !

Translation: Mark is to RBR what Massa is to Ferrari. He will move over for Vettel IF he actually managed to be in front of him

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
