Lol at RBR putting the woman up to collect the trophy. So much uncomfortable.

"She takes care of the boys"

I am not touching that one.

well they did tell Perez to toughen up...

McLaren don't tell their drivers to bend over - they let them race. And good on 'em!

Mercedes are suffering the same fate as the last couple of years. A strong start to the season then quickly fade away because they have NFI how to make the rear tyres last. The first few tracks must be more 'front tyre limited' which makes Merc look better than they are. If F1 had decent tyres and refuelling, the Merc's could be genuine front runners. They make old-school F1 race car - ones that go fast on low fuel. But they suck at the game of conserving tyres designed to degrade.

RBR seem to love the warmer races that use Mediums and Hards. Malaysia and Bahrain, their pace has been untouchable. They seem to come back to the field in the cooler races that use the Softs and Mediums.

Fastest lap of the race 4.5sec slower than qualifying. Awesome...

I have to say I really like Whitmarsh. I like how he responds directly to questions, how he handles the drivers. I think back to the sphincter of the universe and the example of how to let your drivers race

Perez looks like he had a bit of wind in him, mde for good viewing but he wasn;t showing a lot of race craft considering the pace advantage he had over Button

Lots of good battles and more than anything so glad Romain was in the fight and showed some nice race craft

Both him And Domenicali seem to have a very earnest quality in interviews.

Other team bosses less so.

he simply lacks the aggression and arseholery needed to make super passes.

getting passed twice with less than 90 seconds to go was a super special effort for the ozzie battler

meanwhile, his team mate with ostensibly the same car finishes 17 minutes ahead of second place

Bahrain Grand Prix organisers are considering holding a night race next year.

With the 2014 grand prix marking 10th anniversary of the inaugural Sakhir Formula 1 event, track chiefs are determined to do something to mark the occasion.

Although nothing has been finalised yet, Bahrain Grand Prix chairman Zayed Al Zayani has revealed that several possibilities are being considered - including a night race.

"We are looking at many options. A night race could be one of them, but it is not the only one," Zayani told AUTOSPORT.

"It is our tenth race, and our tenth anniversary, so we want to do something different.

"But different doesn't necessarily mean we will race at night.

"There are pros and cons to doing it, and all options are open."

AUTOSPORT understands that if plans for a night race are given the green light, then the lighting infrastructure will be made permanent so the facility can utilise it all year around.

Bahrain is also pushing for its event to become the first race of 2014 as well, which would fit in well with the desire of teams and tyre supplier Pirelli to hold at least one test in the Middle East before the start of the campaign.

Zayani said that no decision had been made yet about where Bahrain would slot into next year's schedule, but he said the venue was prepared for a test and the opening round if required.

"We are ready," he said. "We have had a first race before, we have had a third race before, and fourth race before.

"But it is premature to say when we will be. We will know probably between July and September or October.

"We would love to have the teams here for testing as well. But at the end of the day, that is a decision for them, not us."

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
