It's not the lack of free to air that has turned me off. Half the time I watch a recorded race anyway cos I don't fancy still being up at 1am and having to work the next day. It's not the Mercedes d

he has won 5 in a row. Probably deserves a little credit...

Hass goes half alright! But then it is half Ferrari :P

STR are mixing it with Williams and RBR as predicted - good to see. But the Renault PU s going OK these days too.

It's shaping up as a pretty tasty season. Even Kimi looked like he was actually there to race this weekend!

Bottas very hard done by with that penalty. He made the apex, wasn't pushing wide or anything and was well up alongside - 100% entitled to be there imo.

Hamilton will go and win 6 straight mid season...he has been menaced 2 GPs in a row and still racked up points. Rosberg has done what he needed to but i need to see him beat Lewis in wheel to wheel combat to prove to me he has the headspace to win the WDC this year

Reckon Hamilton will sort his starts out?

Hey, i like Rosberg...but he has yet to put Lewis to the sword and Lewis has always got on his streaks which Rosberg has looked powerless to stop. If Lewis can keep his intensity up it will be a great contest as Rosberg still looks hungry. I hope /lewis faulters and we see him on a few races throw his toys from the pram as tradiotionally he goes walkabout

5 in a row is as many as Hamilton has ever managed!

And only 7 other drivers in history have won 5 or more in a row!

And it turns out Hass is WAY more than half Ferrari! lol

Yeah the other half is all Dallara (Which I don't mind). It is the customer Ferrari for huge slabs of the thing that annoys me. It is not what F1 is supposed to be about.

From the article:

The Haas VF-16 is the first car from the US based team, but it has largely been constructed in Italy.

In the past to be considered a constructor a team would have to design an construct its own chassis, front impact structure, suspension, suspension geometry, radiators, bodywork, steering system, brakes, floor and fuel tank at the very minimum. But at the start of the 2014 season that requirement was dropped to only require teams to design and build the chassis, front impact structure, suspension, suspension geometry, brake ducts and bodywork. For 2015 that has been further simplified again an now a constructor only needs to make the monocoque and bodywork. Everything else can be purchased.

Haas opted to have Dallara manufacture the chassis for the VF-16, while Ferrari will provide almost everything else. “We have the front suspension, rear suspension, hydraulics, steering, electronics all from Ferrari. Radiators we have to do as that is classified as bodywork” Steiner explains. “We are using these things to focus on the overall car design, why make an effort to do our own damper or something when we can just get them from Ferrari.. We have everything exactly the same as the Ferrari.”

Like the man says - why make an effort when you can just run a Ferrari. May as well make it a spec formula and be done with it.

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>

      I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.

      I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.
