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.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
