Is it just me or has 10 forgotten to have an ad break for a long time..?

I was going to make a comment about that. It must be a new record for them haha.

Bottas and Alonso are showing some serious pace. Hopefully Nands gets a podium.

Hmm, other than the McLarens it appears those who rode their luck in quali didnt have good races. Britney & Tool had poor results whereas their team mates who both screwed up got results. So did Bottas - excellent drive, no mistakes and little risk to P2. Shame the car is still so far off the pace of the Benzes.

Also Lotus have signed with Mercedes for next year. What now for Red Bull?

So I tried buying into the whole Susie Wollf "yay we've got a genuine female chick-type woman driving in F1 now!" thing and looked up her racing career to try and convince myself it has absolutely nothing to do with Toto's position.

- 3 years in Formula Renault: 48 races, 0 wins, 0 poles, 0 fastest laps, 4 podiums, best season finish 5th
- A short stiint in British F3: 2 races, 0 wins, 0 poles, 0 fastest laps, 0 podiums
- 7 years in DTM (2006 to 2012, Toto headed Mercedes' DTM campaign from 2006): 72 races, 0 wins, 0 poles, 0 fastest laps, 0 podiums, best race finish 7th, best season finish 13th

2012: Williams F1 test driver (and Toto is...).

Sigh.

I hear Renault are happy as frees up reaources to concentrate on RBR

Hmm, maybe it frees up resources but it also means they miss out on income from selling engines. Which they appear to need, badly.

In other news Maldanados crash wasnt his fault. Cant say that very often.

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
