God Lewis talks shit! In BBC interview he has stated how "its funny" that as an 8yr old the parents of other kids he catted against used to tell him that he didnt have it. His teachers at school and headmaster said he wouldnt achieve anything.....WTF is this guy on about with his victim complex!!!!

^^ Yep. Slowing down that much (even close to the pit wall) is dangerous. Have seen F1 drivers do it occasionally when they've won the WDC.. but I don't buy the "suspension damage" bit at all. He is bullshitting. It's a straight bit of track, coast down until the next corner and THEN slow down or go off track and park it. He certainly had suspension damage after the accident though :P

A 2 race suspension isn't enough. He is utterly unapologetic and doesn't seem to understand that what he did was dangerous.

Interesting read....

I am biased but hoping the fact that Ferrari were in serious contract negotiations with Romain pre signing of Vettel means that giving Kimi the boot at the end of the year should see him promoted. Hulk, deserves a good seat but I am rooting for James Allisons time at Lotus and suspicion that he was a driving opinion behind discussions with him last year will see a rocket put up Vettel to ensure that both drivers are pushing to keep Fezz at the pointy end...something Kimi cant do

Hulk...give him Massa's seat. He is driving well this year, but I understand there is an option for next year...and frankly time for some new blood and reckon Hulk vs Bottas would be a great combination for Williams and their best chance to stepping up against Mercedes next year

Oh...and FOM still havent called me about a job for next year :(

Romain got a beating by Kimi at Lotus... Why on earth would anyone entertain the idea of replacing Kimi, who's getting whupped by all the top guys he gets paired with, with a bloke who couldn't even keep up with him?

Romain blew up when he had a shot at a win in Spain...would have won given Vettel blew up iirc.

He moved over repeatedly for Kimi...when Kimi announced he was leaving and wasnt given on track preference look at the back half of 2013.

I know i am a fanboy but the guy trounced Kimi in 2013 and despite a turbulent 2012 qualified well and had some good races to go with the bad

    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
