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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
