bah, that was just a gentle flop over after bouncing off the tyres. With modern barriers that wouldn't be an issue. Or you could move the wall back. But they'd obviously have more tarmac instead of the gravel trap these days too.

Well, they haven't got an agreement with Renault to supply unbranded engines yet... I imagine Renault would only go ahead with it if they are extremely confident their works PU will be clearly better. Renault engaged Illien at the end of 2014 to help develop their engine. I've read that Renault decided to pursue their own development path rather than use Illien's input...

Have RBR pilfered an ERS guru from another team or something? Otherwise they're probably on a hiding to nothing here.

Building engines probably isn't Renault's problem, it's the associated ERS and "Power Unit" rubbish that teams struggle with.

If the regulations were changed to allow more conventional type engines, fans would enjoy it more and the complexity of design and fabrication would be a lot lower therefore making the units cheaper.

No brainer really.

Talk is the single cylinder prototype yielded improvements. But as RBR were the ones that paid/introduced Illien they are disputing it is their IP and want to own it. I understand that is largely why Renault are kicking on with their own developments and it seems RBR will use the Renault motor as the basis with the Illien tweaks

Also, the talk is its the atual engine and turbo that is weak with the Renault and the energy recovery majic works well

I wonder if Louise can turn the switch back on next year or whether he will go to sleep now he has 3 x WDCs. Mercedes will have us believe development tweaks have moved the car in Rosbergs favour but surely Louise spending too much time in hotel rooms with C-grade rappers and F grade groupies has more to do with it

I wouldn't be surprised if Hamilton has someone employed to teach him how to act to be liked... The way he answers questions now, initially it's what made me stop hating him as he seemed more humble, but these days it's like he's reading straight from a script..

    • 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
    • Hi guys,  I just replaced my pads with blue stuff and flushed fluid. The pedal and brakes feel fantastic but I'm getting very slight pedal stutter under any kind of braking. Not every time, maybe 1 in 10 and not under any heavy braking, mostly occurs as I'm reaching a stop. It feels like abs engaging but it's so fast, there and gone in under a second and no abs flash on the dash.  Any ideas what could be causing this?
    • How does dead head help with emissions? Is it being claimed for emissions because fuel in the tank isn't being heated up by being pumped around, hence should condense more? One part that is a negative about dead head is heating the fuel at the rail a lot more (IE heat soaking at traffic lights) and this causing lean outs on takeoff afterwards. If my thoughts above are correct, I wonder how different the tail pipe emissions become with the lean outs vs less fuel tank emissions into a charcoal canister
