Timo Glock reckons Marussia owe Michael Schumacher a big thank you if they beat Caterham to tenth place in this year's Constructors' Championship.

Marussia leapfrogged Caterham in the teams' standings when Glock brought his car home in 12th place in the Singapore GP, potentially earning his team millions and help with travel costs.

However, that position seemed to be on the verge of slipping out of Marussia's grasp when, last time out in Abu Dhabi, Heikki Kovalainen was lapping in 12th place in his Caterham with Glock trying but failing to catch up to him.

"I immediately let Michael Schumacher past and hoped that he would crush the Caterham," Glock told Auto Motor und Sport.

"When he was passing Heikki we could breathe again. Michael saved us."

The race finished with Kovalainen 13th and Glock 14th.

Marussia team boss John Booth admitted: "Those of us on the pit wall have pretty chewed nails."

hmmm...

not sure about the Circuit of the Americas yet after some yewtoob vids

could result in good racing, just over a week to find out

Looks like RBR designed that place! They (well, Vettel) will be untouchable.

nothing to post about

Austin is an unknown, no previous years experience to talk about

... I would just like to add that Ferrari are a bunch of faggots though

Alonso is a top bloke and all that, far too good for them, but i wish the actual team nothing but pain and misery

i cant watch it because they don't show f1 in egypt + i only have 2gig to play with on the internet...

so it will have to wait till i get to dubai, if mohammed hasn't block that too that is. :unsure:

According to reports in the British press, Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore is leading the line to replace Bernie Ecclestone.

At 82 and facing the possibility of a handsome fine and perhaps prosecution for his role in the Gerhard Gribkowsky saga, the F1 supremo may leave his post as president and CEO of Formula One Management and Formula One Administration sooner rather than later.

Should the Briton decide to do so, Scudamore has been touted as a possible replacement with the Daily Mail stating that: "CVC say they are not yet looking for a replacement for Ecclestone but have drawn up a list of those they would approach if Ecclestone is forced to stand down or decided to do so - and Scudamore is said to be one of them.

"Scudamore's stock in the sports industry is high with the Premier League on course to collect £5billion from their global television rights."

However, the paper went on to add that it would take an exceptional offer to pry him away from the Premier League.

daily mail = bullshit?

Alonso is a top bloke and all that

dafuq? when did this happen?

I admire his driving skillz, but that admiration doesn't extend beyond that

Austin is 6am

I'll get ready for work an hour earlier. If Vettel has driven away from everyone by 7am, I'll be out the door at the usual time

dafuq? when did this happen?

I admire his driving skillz, but that admiration doesn't extend beyond that

he'd older and much better than he used to be

i cant hold him accountable for his shitty attitude in his Renault days

he was intolerable back then, but he's one of the more honest and happy guys in the paddock these days

ahhh, holding onto grudges without knowing the whole picture is a little pointless

yes its was a kunts act, but who knows what was happening within the team to spark that kind of internal furor

dont get me wrong, im not cheering for him to win anything with team spaghetti, but i do enjoy watching him race

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
