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

Maria De Villota: F1 reserve driver died of 'natural causes' in Spain

"I can confirm that her death was due to natural causes. The family has been informed," Dr Joaquin Lucena Romero, head of forensic services at the Institute for Legal Medicine, said.

Heikki Kovalainen says he's ready to return to Formula One after once again showing Caterham what he's got in a Friday practice.

The Finnish driver was in action for the team at the Suzuka circuit on Friday morning and covered 22 laps with a best time of 1:37.595.

His time put him half a second up on race driver Giedo van der Garde.

Kovalainen, though, has yet to learn whether he'll be back on the grid next season and is not willing to speculate about his chances.

"The negotiations are going well," the Finn told the BBC.

"Caterham know what they get from me. They just need to decide what they want to do.

"I feel like I'm up for it and ready to go for next year."

But, he added, "it's difficult to speculate whether or not I have a chance."

Oh go away already Heikki. Nice guy but poor in a Renault. Poor in a McLaren. And Petrov matched-beat him...now he runs round "I was a McLaren driver and dumped but too good to pay for a drive." He would be lucky to get a seat even if he paid.

I like Caterham and would rather see them throw their weight behind talented youngsters in the hope that a tp team would place them with funding. McLaren?

^Starting from the clean part of the track for once, will hopefully give him the edge. As we as his lower downforce rear wing, to help pass Vettel back if he stuffs it. Missed quali yesterday due to watching Rush. Just watched in now. Come on Aussie Grit.

Does the 7Kegs extra that webs has with the older chassis make much of a difference?

chances are that Seb will have further kers issues in the race since cars cant be touched now? yet his laptime without it is pretty impressive still.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
