Mark Webber's Williams years provided a favourite anecdote about him, which says a lot about his determination, sense of justice and humour. Like all top Aussie sportsmen, Webber is not immune to a f

Vettel is cleanng up his new rubber latex bondage suit and rubbing his hands and peanut sack and loving the fact he has another aussie to ram his 3inch knob into.

Big mistake for Dan. He is now the new official Barrichello.

Would much rather have seen Kimi there as he would have floored the little top bloke vetstool.

Off to Japan F1 next month. Will be boring as hell but I only go for the beer and Japanese candy.

So many writing off Dan before he has even lined up for a single practice session in the same car on the same weekend. I am not convinced it has been done purely because the expectation is that he will be a lap dog.

I think he has real pace...if RBR wanted to make their lives easy they would have canned Webber 2 years ago and put in any number of drivers like Di Resta, Hulkm an STR Jr etc. Webber has tried to give as good as he has taken and the team has hardly been harmonious whilst he and Seb have been battling.

I think its too presumptious to think that RBR want a lap dog and No.2 by definition. If Dan cant keep pace then he will be a No. 2 by default not by design. The other big reason why I think they need to put someone who will put it up Vettel is that by the end of his cotnract he will have been there 7 years! I think he will be looking for a change/challenge (provided the other team is competitive like mercedes or Ferrari) if he gets bored at RBR. And a young guy beating him will keep him interested and motivated.

Kimi, based on his behaviour at Ferrari doesnt always stay all that motivated when things are not going to plan

Depends on how much Tool can dictate terms to RBR doesnt it? Hoping Dan is like Webber in respect to not putting up with sh!t from anyone. Hoping he is not like him in terms of being able to get a car off the line.

Fingers crossed it goes well. Because other than some young bloke by the name of Brabham I cant think of where the next Orstraylian GP driver would come from.

I'm not writing Dan off before he's started, but the facts are these:

Dan is not outscoring his current team mate. Not last year, and again this year. I don't think the three, soon to be four time WDC will be terribly worried in terms of the championship.

Dan appears to be a good qualifier. Problem is, Webber was also regarded as a very good qualifier... I wouldn't rate Dan as better than Webber in that regard. Maybe he'll prove that wrong, but I don't think so.

Webber is also a very good racer. I would definitely rate Webber's racecraft and race pace as significantly better than Dan's.

Dan does have one thing on his side, and that's the potential to improve.

Roy I'm knocking Dans ability but with Dietrich and Helmet head at the reigns and a German World Champ then Dan needs to learn how to say woof !.

Hope it's a different scenario but after 30 plus years of following F1 just looks the same old same old , just a different lap dog.

      Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything
