Niki did the same thing to Bobby Rahal at Jaguar, came in as a consultant, told the Ford board that everything was being done wrong (even thought Rahal had managed to get Newey on board) ended up taking over the place and screwing it up.

LOL, that's the first thing I thought of when I read he was getting involved at Mercedes.

I think it was a question that Brawn wanted control, not design/management by committee without overall governance.

For the same reason he told Merc to shove it I cant see him ending up at McLaren. They simply have too much politics and the reality is he didnt like the Honda way of going racing either. I have read he found it very frustrating.

So ... lol that means he will go to Williams...he will, he will, he will...I hope

Well, personally I think Williams are going to spring a rather large surprise this year.

They have been heavily involved with the development of the Audi Le Mans hybrid tech and this year they have Mercedes engines. So combine a good V6 with their know how of getting ERS to perform in a 24hr race etc and the use of KERS for 30 seconds a lap now...well I think Williams will be very strong in this area. Combined with Symonds who is no dummy....and I think Bottas is a good thing and hopefuilly Massa can push his development along.

II personally am expecting Williams to do a '13 Lotus! So Brawn would be wise to jump on board...he will get all the control he needs/wants. He wont even have to travel to every race.

I dont expect Williams to be front running this year. Fair enough they know alot about the KERS/ERS technology, but there are alot of smart minds at the other teams. Aero is and has been where its at. This year they will need to find even more loop holes to get that little bit extra out of the car.

I have nothing against Williams, but I don't expect them to bounce back TOO much this year. 2015 might be more their year

So since Dennis thinks winning is so easy lets see him start with getting some sponsors. I wonder who their new title sponsor is? They have just released their 2014 Team Merch and it is plan old McLaren with some Mobil and Mercedes signage. Obviously no Vodafone.....and interesting nobody else. You would think if they had a new big sponsr they woudl find their way onto their 2014 merch

Forget Heikki....he is solid at best with questionable pace. He didnt cover himself in glory at Lotus by even doing a solid job with them. Was a tough ask to step in to the team, but he probably performed under even moderate expectations.

Kobi is a waaaay better bet and is not confirmed. A bit disappointed McLaren didnt pony up with the cash to give Vandoorne the seat Caterham give Frijns a go...but oh well

I'm sure I read that they were supposed to announce their new title sponsor in december, but that never happened.

Maybe something fell through due to their crappy season

Caterham has signed grand prix returnee Kamui Kobayashi and GP2 graduate Marcus Ericsson for the 2014 Formula 1 season.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
