Did not expect this:

Jolyon Palmer stays put at Renault in 2017.

Renault Sport chairman Jerome Stoll says:

“The line-up of Jolyon and Nico harnesses the benefits of continuity and fresh blood,” Palmer said.

“I am sure that having Nico as a team-mate will help push Jolyon to greater achievements.

“We thank Kevin Magnussen for his efforts in 2016 as he has done a great job for us this year. We wish him all the best for 2017 and beyond.”

“We have been impressed with his increasingly strong performances on track as the season has progressed.”

“We are confident that the combination of Jolyon and Nico Hulkenberg offers a very promising driving force to meet our goals.”

Yeah but to be fair he appears to have been getting better and the better of Kevin lately.  Goes postal on the radio which is always amusing.  Magnussen is supposedly off to Haas.  Guessing he got pushed.  Still happy for the Hulk after all this time he may have got a properly good seat.  Will see how much coin and how good the Renault is next year I suppose.

Reckon Britney will win another race this year?

If I was Hamilton I would have done the same thing, re backing britney into vtool, it was his only option to take the championship.

 

Congratulations to Nico, he had the right combination of skill, luck and equipment, good on him.

God let Button get the call back to McLaren and let Alonso walk due to performance clauses!!!!

+1 that would be some entertaining racing I would love to see. Jenson would probably be gagging for the seat too

This is true, but he doesn't have to carry on the way he does.

This is the thing that I like about Rosberg. He is much more.... Professional I guess. All these reports coming out now that Hamilton was going to walk away from Mercedes blah blah blah. As if you would walk away from the best car on the grid mid season.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
