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!

    • Nah, don't bother doing any actual measurements on the car. Just go ask the inter-f**king-net.
    • I currently have 18 x 9 +30 on the front with 18 x 10.5 +38 on the rear. Absolutely regretted it. Ended up putting 15 mm spacers on front and 25 mm spacers on the rear. Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers. Definitely would go more aggressive then what you were originally planning. Keep in mind my guards are rolled and cars fair low so you might possibly need to roll guards depending how aggressive you go and how low the car is. Im not an expert but the 18 x 8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30 Sounds like it would sit much better.
    • Hey guys, sorry i have been researching for a few months and absolutely cannot wrap my head around this. I am about to order some rims to fit my R34 Gtt with coilovers My original plan was to order Rota grid R in 18x8.5 +30 235 40 R18 Fronts 18x9.5 +35 255 35 r18 rears But then the thought in my head said this isnt aggressive enough. I want the most concave spokes i can get without too much of poke and scrubbing   So my thoughts now is  18x8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30   My question is will this be the most aggressive i could get it without any guard rolling and does the type of rim style affect the offset / size.   Thanks everyone.
    • Lower parts are there. On passenger seat, bright yellow bit is the release mount. On drivers, bright yellow bit is the lower buckle for the other side. My bet is lowers are tucked out of the way as much as possible for visuals.
    • I'm guessing its a 4 point harness, 3 of the 4 belts are visible. I'm guessing the hidden belt is tucked down between the seat and door.
