yeah good drives from Bottas, Perez, and Hulkenberg (again). And Grosjean really is looking like he's found his feet in F1 these days.

Vernge again showing his good race pace - despite crap qualifying he was right there at the end fighting with Dan on the last lap before being hit by a mexican...

Man, that race is not only hard to get up for, its also hard to stay awake in

I don't understand how much more impressive Hulk has to be to get a seat worth anything. I'll be bitterly disappointed if that fcuking hack loser Maldonado ends up with a Lotus seat while Nico is left to trundle around for the minor positions again ins a god damn force india

What was with Mark just walking off? LOL, guessing he just wants off the ride asap. Maybe too much that he simply cant match Vettel more than once in 2013

He's turned in to a real dick lately, every answer is just a f**king list of excuses as to why he got destroyed by his team mate in the same car.

Umm, who got the penalty for hatchet racing? I genuinely believe leading up to the RBR announcement about Webbers replacement you could make the argument that JEV should have at least been able to test the car at Silverstone and worthy of the seat

Outside of Dan binning it at Singapore....I cant recall JEV getting near Q3, beating Dan in a race. JEV needs to get his head straight and lift his game and start qualifying better. I think the argument of his racing ability falls under serious scrutiny when a car prves its capable of qualifying 10th and getting a point and you qualify 15th or something and over the course of the race get the car up to 11th which is where the car should have been all along

I've given up on him as far as qualy goes - he just can't do it on those Pirellis. He was apparently a very good qualifier in other series running proper tyres.

As for race results, you might want to go look at the actual results for a reminder about him beating Dan in a race...

Just looked. There was a few retirements in there but since Canada he has beat Dan once in Hungary. I suppose you can say twice if you want to include Japan where he finished one place ahead after Dan got that drive through for overtaking off the road...extra stop and still finishes just behind team mate.

And Singapore after crashing out. 3 points finishes vs 7...I can see why I formed the opinion i did

hmmm, you stick it into JEV for his drive through penalty, and then make excuses for Dan's drive through penalty and want that race not to count... JEV's also retired from a couple of points positions through no fault of his own, which shews the comparison you're making a bit.

But I've given up on him. Since the RBR driver decision, he hasn't done much that's noteworthy. He was on a bit of a streak earlier in the season, since then it's totally dried up. It got to the point where it was remarkably like backing Webber - you just knew you were going to be dissapointed. I'd still back him to beat Dan in the wet though, where this pirelli tyre nonsense isn't a factor and it's goes back to being able to drive on the limit.

F1 needs:

Bigger tyres

Better tyres

Less Aero

Refuelling

Lose the DRS

Let drivers drive the cars hard......not baby the tyres because they are shit

Give the cars more mechanical grip and less aero for closer racing and passing

so long since he's won, it's in black and white! :P

Hulk has signed back with Force India for 2014. Means Maldonardo is almost a dead certanty for Lotus now.

Random, trainspotterish question. Does the amount of money the teams get from the whatever fund depend on their position in the table or the amount of points? So Williams actually scored some points last weekend but are still in the same position. So do they end up with more coin?

Personally, I would be sticking with Sauber over Force India. But obviously he has an idea of strengths of respective teams so doesnt look good for Sauber's prospects next year if Force India appear stronger on paper.

Oh well, say goodbye to any hopes of Lotus having a good year. Maldando will be bending the car that often their factory will be working overtime to keep up with replacement parts let alone develop the car. :(

I guess that means Di Resta is gone as well. Shame as the guy has some spunk and in hindsight McLaren would have been far better taking Di Resta rather than Perez last year. (or Hulk for that matter...still dont get the whole Perez thing unless a big part was potential Mexican coin)

That article said Sauber's financial position is the problem. Looks like the Russian money might fall through. Same goes for Lotus' dubvious sponsorship deals aparently. On performance, I agree with you, Sauber (well, Hulk's Sauber) look stronger than Force India. But that could be down to the drivers a bit too. Sutil's been a bit dissapointing since the comeback I thought and DiResta I'm not a fan of - rate him average at best.

Some are suggesting Perez was only ever a stop-gap measure for McLaren before they brought in their next young gun from within their own program. Sounds plausible considering the Hamilton move was a bit of a surprise and they had to come up with a plan for 2013 pretty quickly.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
