Vernge more likely candidate for Lotus with their French sponsor and serious need to keep those $$$

Kimi to RBR makes sense to me - seriously underpaid at Lotus on just $3m and they're not proving to be a front runnning car as the season goes on. Makes sense for RBR as well - he's good fit for thier brand/image, and they could probably get a WDC and one of the most naturally talented drivers in the field for no more than they pay their No2 now.

Really? He has been doing a better job, but a good one? Fernando lapped hin in Canada before Massa put it in the fence.

in the fence? I think you'll find he finished 8th after starting 16th and most journos have described it as a strong performance.

it was a strong performance by little Massa, but became to overconfident and crashed into the barriers = not an epic achievement there

Did we watch the same race? Massa passed Kimi on the last lap (iirc) to finish 8th in the Canadian GP I watched. His crash was in qualifying...

yes, I was referring to Q2 and that was his third crash in within two GP's (two a Monaco and 1 in Canada)

Sorry I meant in qualifying - the race and qualy have blurred in my addled brain into one boring continuum. Bottas effort on Saturday being the only highlight. But then again the Canadian GP was so dull I basically slept through it so anything could have happened and I would have missed it. For me keeping track of how Massa is going nowadays is a bit like following Marussia, ie something best done by other people.

Still, PR blurb aside he was lapped by his team mate which isnt good. But probably not as disheartening for him as for Kimi. Silverstone will be equally as dull seeing as it tends to show up the speed differences in the cars much more than other tracks.

ah, so you were saying he became too overconfident before putting in that strong performance? maybe that is an epic achievement! hehe

Silverstone should be RBR and Ferraris again. Will be a good test to see how Mercedes are going with rear tyres on long fast corners... Lotus won't be anywhere unless its really hot. They're bringing the Med and Hards. With no changes to tyres

Well one RB & one Ferrari anyway. With the MB's fading after qualifying well. Atleast that is what I am putting the housekeeping money on.

I agree. I do however like how Force India is progressing. That team is surprising this season.

Considering they're basically the Mclaren B team, its even more impressive how badly they shaded the so called experts handing them all their bits and pieces

I dont think you give them enough credit .

Sure they have Mac gearbox etc but aero and suspension is all FI. They are doing an amazing job!

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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!
