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

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
