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."

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
