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.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
