You can tell Sir Frank is no longer calling the shots over at Williams. He has always prided himself that Williams didnt poach other team's sponsors, rather attracted new businesses to F1. It was the job/challenge of other teams to try and steal Williams sponsors.

Well, in the same week Williams have poached two Lotus sponsors. Lotus going to really struggle with 2015 budget. I hope Coca-Cola/Burn up the stakes and throw an extra 20-30million at them (not going to happen but would be nice to see it up the $$$$ to compete with Monster-Merc and RBR)

To be fair if you were a sponsor the choice between Lotus and Williams at the moment isn't a difficult one. The interesting bit is that Williams beat McLaren to the Unilever money.

But times haven't changed that much - Williams seriously annoyed Canon in the early nineties when they took cigarette money instead of Canon's coin. Not sure which other teams lost out there - too long ago.

that was a tedious read. never read it anywhere, but what is 1MRT's 'grid slot' supposed to be worth?

The report also says race director Charlie Whiting was correct not to call for a safety car while marshals dealt with Sutil's initial accident.

"The actions taken following Sutil's accident were consistent with the regulations, and their interpretation following 384 incidents in the preceding eight years," the report added.

"Without the benefit of hindsight, there is no apparent reason why the safety car should have been deployed either before or after Sutil's accident."

Bullshit.

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
    • thanks, will conduct myself accordingly. i unfortunately put about 150 miles on the car before reading this thread again, however no PS issues, and definitely no turbo issues. it spools normally and still feels fast to me, probably because my previous car was an N/A auto sedan...gonna go fix the PS vacuum line though lol. safe to say, got what i came to this thread for. thanks  
    • Agreed, I've never seen a 260RS specific manual. As GTSBoy said it will mostly be stagea other than the engine loom https://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/stageaservicemanual.pdf
