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.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
