So his rear brakes worked on the warm up lap...then didnt work all of a sudden. ..

Generally, that is the order of occurrence with failures.

One moment things are fine, the next everything turns to shit.

EDIT: couple of seconds too slow I guess...

The FIA stewards have ruled Kamui Kobayashi was not responsible for causing the first-corner collision with removed him and Felipe Massa from the race.

A fault in Kobayashi’s Caterham was blamed for his loss of control at turn one as the race began.

“Having heard from the driver and the technical representatives of the team, and especially reviewing the technical data, the stewards determine that the incident was caused by a serious technical failure completely outside the control of the driver.

Rear brakes seem to be a Bit haphazard as of 2014. The regenerative power systems haven't given the drivers a lot of confidence in braking.

Was it me or was there a lot of cars putting wheels onto the grass into corners over the weekend?

here's an excellent picture for all you Kobi fans out there

rajab knows why you're fans, but you deserve pics regardless

Jarrod got a cracker of a shot there. His other pics are pretty cule with some lurid slides and off track excursions.

When can we f**k off all of this environmental pandering bullshit and just go back to racing cars?

If they manufacturers leave it will be a good thing, the whole sport will go back to being reasonably priced like it was in the early 90's

Strong penis on the Caterham everything else has snapped off.

Listening to the technical stuff during the broadcast, the rear braking system does seem like there is going to be some failures throughout the year. Fly by wire braking system mixed with the 2 ERS systems working in conjunction with the physical brakes means that there is a large margin of error possible

Despite only recently extending their deal to host the Australian GP, the race's organisers are now crying breach of contract after F1's sound failed to impress.


For the first time this past weekend, fans listened to the new-look Formula One and its quieter 1.6-litre turbocharged V6 engines.


And although the on-track action was worth watching, that didn't stop some from taking to social media to voice their complaints about the sound.


One person who is not happy is Australian GP chairman Ron Walker while Australian Grand Prix Corporation chief executive Andrew Westacott says it could even be deemed a breach of contract.


"One aspect of it was just a little bit duller than it's ever been before and that's part of the mix and the chemistry that they're going to have to get right," Westacott told Fairfax Radioon Monday.


"Ron spoke to (Ecclestone) after the race and said the fans don't like it in the venue.


"We pay for a product, we've got contracts in place, we are looking at those very, very seriously because we reckon there has probably been some breaches."

They better be careful or they might lose the Aus GP which would be a real shame :(

Bernie likes playing God with GP events, and with so many other countries keen to get a GP I really don't want to see us lose our GP

    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.
