I dunno. I always assumed it was a control fuel like the v8 supercars run, but they were saying at the start of q1 that the fuel supplier to redbull are expecting to gain 1/10th of a second from their new blend.

Whatever they have been using has been damaging the nearly infallible fuel flow sensors.

Maldonado Says Crash wasn't his fault

I can't believe sponsors still want to put their name to him. And I think he could have saved it if he hadn't locked up just before he hit the wall. Car looked like it was about to swing back

Anyway, great to see Dan up there again. Not so great to see that Mercedes are 1 second ahead of everyone. It's hard to believe that they are so far ahead, surely it can't all be engine?

It shows how much better a driver Grosjean is then Maldonado, seen as they were put in the same basket a few years ago

I think Maldonado annoys me so much because he constantly screws up then blames everyone/everything but himself, when alot of the problems seem like rookie errors

The issue now is that its a good thing he has bought money to Lotus now. But I'm worried for what will happen to the team when he decides they must be against him like Williams were because he isn't winning races, and by then Lotus may have lost alot of potential sponsors because of Maldonado. I don't want Lotus to fail

Romain had a cracker! Had problems all race but still grabbed a solid 8th. Was good for a 5th olr 6th if the think ran on all 6 cylinders for the whole GP.

So RBR is clear no.2...from there its l;ooking rather close between Fezz and Williams with Force India and Lotus sticking their noses in from time to time.

LOL, all hail King Dennis...he is doing a stella job at McLaren!!!! :)

I dont think the Lotus has the speed to defend down the straights problems or not at the moment sadly

If you looked at the Lotus during the early and closing laps it had the lap speed to keep the Williams honest and Fezz behind....problem was they had an instrument problem that cut power for periods of the race and at times was only running on 5 cylinders :(

Keen to see how Romain goes at Monaco...god knows he over drove last year and had a shocker

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
