So much for any of the other teams catching them up. They were soooo dominant today. The fact that Rosberg was quicker than Williams, Dan etc on hammered tyres...those things rarely show their true speed.

Seems very ominous for next year too. They only have to tweak this years car to remain dominate whilst RBR, McLaren and Ferrari need to find 1.5-2.0 seconds over Xmas :(

Oh well.

One thing about last nights race was the joke that the FIA call track limits, Vettel in his usual great form driving straight off the track at most corner exits.

A worry too that the Redbull was slower than the Torro Rosso. Hoping Williams can find something in the off season. Package things up a bit better. But the Merc is so much quicker everywhere.

Not 100% sure, but has Nico beat Hamilton in a straight fight this season? A clean weekend with no issues or anything?

Like somebody said, this years merc is good enough to win next years WDC too

Its entirely possible Hamilton could be a two or three time champ by this time next year

I just dont see Nico staying with him without mechanical failures keeping him in it

Britney has won 4 races. Australia, Monaco, Austria, Germany.

Homo has won 9. In the four races Britney has won Hamo has:

Australia: DNF'd

Monaco: Came second after the qualifying yellow flag thing.

Austria: Second after starting ninth. He screwed up in qualifying.

Germany: Third after starting twentieth Think this was the one with the brake problem which put him into the wall.

So yeah - once if you don't include Monaco. The three races Dan won - Canada, Hungary & Spa. Homo DNF'd in two and In Hungary Britney got beat.

+1 boring economy race. Think the Toro Rosso's being slightly faster (at one point anyway) is just down to the difference between the two cars and perhaps red bull took a wrong step on day 1 with setup. Being Russia is a new track its not crazy, even though Red Bull probably have 11ty million engineers for deciding initial car setup.

I think Rosberg could take it to Hamilton if he wasn't thinking about sealing the drivers title. I think he wants to get it done and is cracking under the pressure. Another Homo car failure and he will get all depressed again. At least take the title to the last race.

Well, I cant recall Lewis every really going that well in Brazil...then again I cant recall Rosberg doing that well there either. Looking at the final 3 tracks US and AD look good for Homo over Rosberg. I wonder if last night was a bit of confidence Rosberg needs. He has been doing panicky moves in the last few GPs and handing it to Hamilton without making him even earn it. Last night all he had the inside line and all he had to do was put Lewis to the sword by being wheel to wheel on the inside. ...or wait until DRS...just too panicky and trying to hood wink Lewis rather than set him up for a cool, calm move like he did just about the entire grid last night...whislt makign his tyres last.

So, yeh,. Hopefully last night will give him some confidence as he is been scrappy

Title will go to the last race. 50 points for a win basically guarantees it will. You only get 7 points differential for a 1-2. So 17 will only get to 31 if the current trend continues.

But consider that in the last race, the difference between first and second will only be 14 points, so if Lewis only gets to the final round 14 ahead and Merc 1|2's again with Nico winning, Lewis still takes the drivers title on win count backs.

Fairly hypothetical, but y'know...

he hasn't been the same since that happened at Spa.

i live in hope that he's saving up the next tyre slicing for the last round and 50pts ;)

Sochi track looked pretty good. And that Turn 3 was a ripper. They just need more fuel so they can make a proper race of it, instead of hybrid hypermiling live on worldwide television...

Here here. It'll prevent a German clean-sweep trifecta of 2014 (World Cup, Constructors title, WDC).

Rosberg is a Finn. I dont care what he says.

Doesnt matter if he was born and raised in Germany, Rosberg is a Finnish name :P

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
