lol.....

It may be just me but I feel for quiet some time that 'Fasta Pasta Nando's' is just reckless in F1? I'm so surprised he still in an F1 seat after all the reckless accidents he has caused????

Why? He can actually drive a bit when he isnt doing stupid stuff and he brings in masses of money to Williams. It is easier to stop a driver doing dumb shit than it is to make a slow driver quick. So they will keep him until either his money runs out or they can find someone faster (With money).

I think the key words here are the ones underlined in bold.

that is what its all about theses days!

ohhhh......and with out that financial backing......he certainly would not be in an F1 seat IMO.

He isnt looking at all like a race winner or even fast this year. That hat goes to the Finnish team mate

Yeah Bottas is beating him but neither look like race winners given the car isnt much chop. But the reality is nowadays you dont make it through the junior formula without bulk coin and even into F1 without backing.

Have a look at what rubbish aero has done to their share price.

...and rubbish global financial systems. Though another le Mans win with their tech and the new green series next year all provide funding to Williams Engineering ... if not Williams F1.

Its a shame they had such a good car last year ... you wonder how much Toto and Gillan leaving rattled the ranks focus.

Think the two companies are under one listing on the German SX?

You never know how much influence any one person has on the car design or the business or if it just that the wind tunnel calibration is shit. See how Sam Michael is going at McLaren for example or how Ferrari went in the last few years.

no, that's what happens when FIA signs a contract with a tyre supplier permitting testing despite the sporting code banning it, then tells a team "OK, you can go to the test with the 2013 cars as long as Pirelli are running the test" and then backflips when other teams complain...

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
