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.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
