wow.... RIP senna.

Loved the Senna movie that came out a couple of years ago.

Every time though in the car I would be cringing thinking "oh no this is it"

He did some amazing things. The footage of him jumping out of his car to help another racer is amazing, dangerous yes, but amazing.

Helmut Marko believes that Daniel Ricciardo has what it takes to partner Sebastian Vettel at Red Bull.

As has been the case every season, Mark Webber has to renegotiated his one-year deal with the team but now more so than ever the Australian's future at the team appears in jeopardy.

It comes as no surprise that Vettel's decision to disobey instructions from team principal Christian Horner and pass Webber to take victory in Sepang did not go down well with Webber, with the team's failure to publically discipline Vettel sure to have added to tensions. As a result the rumour mill has gone into overdrive regarding whether the German will have new team-mate next season.

Red Bull have said they are in no rush to make any decisions regarding their line-up, but team advisor Marko has weighed in with his opinion, asserting that either one of the Toro Rosso drivers could make the step up, but with Ricciardo the better option than Jean-Eric Vergne

"Many drivers want to drive for Red Bull, and we have two very good juniors," Marko told APA.

"I'm not worried that we will have something other than two top drivers in the end.

"In general we are happy with both drivers," Marko added of the Toro Rosso duo.

"Ricciardo is currently the better one. Vergne is too impetuous, asking too much of these sensitive tyres in qualifying."

Still have only been able to watch the senna movie once, its a well made doco and everything, its just that the impending doom that you sense while watching it makes me very uncomfortable

I do though watch races from that era every so often, feels like a much better way to see what he was all about, without the one eyed supoters or pundits ruining the experience

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
