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

Let's hope it all goes to his head again and he gets himself all caught up in the lifestyle and distractions like he was before. I'll never forgive Lauda for sorting him out and basically banning all that nonsense from race weekends...

But if it's just that their latest development suits Nico better as that suggests, I hope they keep up the good work!

He's a three time world champion, nobody is telling him anything. By 30 years old, you are who you are now

That's either going to rub people the wrong way or not at all

For example, I find Fernando to be one of the underhanded and devious fcuk I have seen race, now everything he says and does is tinged with that bias. Keep in mind, there's a Schumacher career in that time period too, and he was a gigantic piece of shit

You are just going to have to live with the fact a person you don't like is at the top at the moment, give it a few years and somebody else you might like will take his place

I don't care/mind that he's at the top, the Merc was miles ahead this season and he took the honours against his team mate. I just don't like the scripted answers and the acting like a rockstar on the podium etc, eg ignoring the first question on the podium to shout out hello 'insert country name' in that language

RBR confirmed TAG branded Renault engines. STR are the big winners, getting 2015 Ferrari engines :) RBR were flat out beating STR with the same donk this year. STR will effectively be the lead team next year! lol

Who knows. There was a bit of info going around that the Renault ICE was pretty solid, just something to do with the KERS deployment wasnt quite as good as others

But then ive also read stories that state the KERS was great. There was a really good article about how RBR wanted to use the engine with their own energy systems and brand it as an infiniti engine

Its all really just rumours until someone who absoloutly knows comes forward anyway

Hoping it will be a good thing buy will see. Interested to see if anyone brings out any crazy new ideas on their car next year. When designers go outside the box its always very interesting

Did people watch the post race Sky broadcast? If you see Rosberg interact with the team and Hill/Herbert etc you do get the sense that that team warm to him...Lewis rightly or wrongly seems a lot more private with the team where as when Rosberg wins the mechanics always seem to enjoy it more with Rosberg

And, again righty or wrongly Rosberg is IMO the more genuine with his emotions. When Homo plays up he pretends to be upset or has to pretend to be happy.. I think Saward hit the nail on the head when I heard him speak at the start of the year. Homo doesnt know who he is or what he wants to be other than probably the most talented guy on the grid

You only have to listen to the final press conference of the year to see why perhaps the mechanics warm less to Homo is Lewis says the team made the decision re the tyre for the final stint...hinting they held him back . Whilst engineers and team can be heard on the radio asking what tyres does he want to run and Lewis simply ignores the question on the radio so the team made the decision (which just happens to have been the right deision based on Vettels performance on the super soft)

I quite liked his dad but Nico, bah, so what if he tries to smooch his garage, he's still lost two seasons in a row.

I concur Lewis is shallow and his post race answers are contrived bullshit but he's been the better driver and when DC asked Nico about catching up for a post race dinner date, Nico still came out like a sulk even though he'd won the race, he knows Lewis would slap him with the championships.

What we need is less contrived shit, less personality contests and more race entertainment from an improved Ferrari, RB, etc. M2cs.

Ah the olden days when it was mechanical grip and Jim Clark four wheel drifting.... :-)

Renault and RBR have comfirmed it. That's why I posted it.

TAG branded Illien Renault PU for RBR. Of course, it will only be a TAG if it's any good and a Renault when it blows up or gets beaten by the No2 team with the 2015 Ferrari donk...

STR will be up there with Williams I reckon.

My comment about it all being rumors was directed hearsay about the Renault KERS System being the weak link or not the weak link. Not to do with the TAG-Renault deal

ah... whether it's ICE or ERS, the Renault certainly sucks. Considering they (Renault and RBR) got Illien involved end of 2014, it's likely to be the ICE they were most worried about. At that stage anyway.

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
