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

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
