So what is hatchet Kolles up to at Caterham? He is meant to be building up his new F1 team with Estonian money FFS. Get out of Caterham and let them do their thing. I am guessing since he seemingly made the introductions he is now working his way into the team as far more than an advisor.

Oh well, I am guessing Team America Ver 2 is real and will happen. Torro Thingie or whatever it was called is BS based on the fact that Kolles is at Caterham now

Man its 4yrs ago since me and the Count were there. Pretty sure someone from SAU has been to the Italian GP every year since about 2010...not this year it seems :(

they've dumbed down the Parabolica. Boo!

The McLaren driver’s view was echoed by Valtteri Bottas. “I really think last year was maybe a bit more challenging in a way,” he said, “because you were always in the exit going with the outside wheels going in the white line and you knew that if you go a couple of centimetres too wide that’s it, you go off”.

But now it doesn’t matter if you go a bit over the white line, you just need to keep a least two wheels on the track and that’s it. But it’s still a good track, just one corner is less exciting.”

The FIA has said the change was previously requested by the drivers. But Fernando Alonso suggested that while some may have asked for the run-off at the entrance of the corner to be paved, to improve safety if the suffer a brake failure approaching the corner, the alterations went beyond what they had asked for.

“There had been some discussions in the past for the entry, probably, in case you have a brake failure or something,” he explained, “to have the possibility to go straight, get on the gravel and hit the tyres”.

“But probably from mid to exit of the corner [to have been paved], that was probably a surprise.”

I dont mind Sky coverage. I think the BBC arrangement with DC and Anderson with Davidsons and Kravits was the dream team. But I am now ready to wipe Sky. Lewis gets race after race advice on where he is losing time, strategy for exits on corners and braking and not a word said .

FP2 , Rosberg asks his engineer where is there more lap time and the Sky crew launch a line of questioning that does asking and the public hearing such questions make Rosberg sound less than competent! FFS, are they so Hamo-biased retarded? And they harped on about it. Saying nobody else gets that support from pit wall!!!

More than ever want Rosberg to hand it to Homo. Come on Nico!

I'm a little surprised Williams couldn't beat Merc to the front row like they did in Austria. This track should have suited them better than Spielberg.

Parabolica is ruined - everyone's raping the track limits there. Challenge, gone.

Bit of a silly comparison considering lewis crashed out and nico had a crap lap with traffic.

did you hear jones' view, he cant see the issue with the extra tarmac :S

That was just one of the stupid things he said.

Was also funny hearing the obviously scripted speeches from Lewis and nico in the post quali press conference. Team this, harmony that.

Great to see Ricciardo give Vettel another lesson but holy crap was there double the amount of ads to normal this race or was it just me?

I think the Magnussen penalty was a bit harsh, let them race

Hamilton is very self conscious about going bald...

How funny is it? Just embrace it or go to Advanced Hair. Fark knows e has more money than Warne

Proving his inner farktard is strong...cant even be a good winner. Rosberg did choke, but glad he he was upbeat when he jumped from the car. Sick of sooks! Bottas and Dan continue to show their class

"I have a great team of people who work with me, who give me advice and guide me," he said.

"It's advice, not you have to do this. They give me a bit of information and take that and decide how to use that. I felt I had the pace at the time so I felt I had to use it now, I was certain it might not come again. I knew that was the best time to put pressure on him. I did it a couple of races ago and he doesn't seem to like it, so I'll try it a bit more.

"We've got a long way to go, but one step at a time. The support I've had from the fans....

So went looking for Button interview post race. Was curious to see if he was sooking about rough and ready racing or thought it was fun tough racing? Glad to see he is enjoying his last few races in a McLaren :) I almost feel sorry for him

Jenson Button: "This wasn't the result I was after - but the was good fun nonetheless. It's just a pity that we didn't quite have the race pace we'd hoped for: when you start fifth and sixth, you're not just looking for a points finish, you want a bit more than that. If we'd had a clear run, I think we could have done a bit better - but, in the traffic, it was easier for the cars around us to pick us off than it was for us to pick them off. I had an amazing battle with Checo - we took the first Lesmo side by side, which doesn't happen very often. It's a pity I couldn't get past him - I tried so many times - but he was so strong under braking that to match him into the turns I was locking up the fronts and the rears, which left me struggling for position on the exits. But I was really on the limit. It was superb wheel-to-wheel action - I hope it was great entertainment for the spectators and fantastic TV for the fans at home."

Magnussen deserved a penalty - the other car was fully alongside - you can't just run them off the road in that situation. The only harsh part is that one certain other driver has been getting away with the exact same thing all season for some reason...

And yeah, Lewis knew it was the best time to put pressure on - when they had told Nico to save some fuel. That's the best chance to pass him... Rosberg cracked though. Mercedes were trying to make it a fair fight at the end, but Lewis decided to take any advantage he could.

    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
    • A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.
