Maybe they should have kept the dodgy Pirelli compounds for this and refuelling ... Exciting race my ass

The tyres haven't changed yet - they're aiming for Canada or British GP. Its just that track doesn't have any real long/high load corners to f**k the tyres in the space of a few laps. And you can drive as slow as you want, just about, without fear of being passed by everyone. I thought all the slow corners might hurt Mercedes rear tyres under power, but that's not their problem apparently.

Anyone who has ever watched Monaco before knows what to expect in terms of the racing. Absolutely no sense complaining about that.

I don't agree Perez was in the wrong in any of those moves - certainly not the one where Kimi ran him into the armco before the corner!

And he was more than fully up alongside Alonso and made the turn-in to the corner no problem whatsover. When someone has you up the inside like that and there's no room to fight it - sorry, you've lost the position. Even if you are Alonso and even if you are in a Ferrari.

Just when you thought that the tyres were the worst thing in F1 along comes a safety car period that just will not end despite Massa's car being cleared ages ago.

they needed to use microscopes and tweezers to collect every sliver of shattered carbon-fibre

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
