Yeah, the Renault looks much better out in the sunlight than it did in the dark studio shots which made it look like there was too much black. 
Not a fan of the shark fins, but i think all the cars look good. With Sauber's livery being the least good :P I particularly like the Williams, but it's hard to go wrong with Martini colours. The new cars are certainly much better proportioned than they have been for years.

This thread shows the popularity of F1 at the moment

Probably shows what happens when sports go to Foxtel and few people have access.  To be fair there has been some actual competition this year and atleast Ferrari are taking it up to Mercedes.  Shame everyone else is dropping off the pace.  Force it India and Torro Rosso are going well but other than that it is pretty dire.  McLaren are embarrassing.  Williams are going backwards, Renault have no race pace and RedBull cant lay a glove on MB.

Yes Ferrari have been winning races and fighting the mercs when they aren't in front, but the 'racing' is still a procession. If a car does make a pass, 99% of the time that's the end of the battle.

Compare it to MotoGP, even Fp1 is more exciting to watch than 95% of f1 races.

So that was a big stupid that dany got two penalties for the one crime and it was race controls fault from what i can see...

I usually try and watch the canadian gp as it always seems to be one of the better races but just couldnt this year

Surely not?  Nothing wrong with ramming someone then pulling alongside them to do it again.  If Hamilton wasn't there he wouldn't have hit him, so clearly the blame should be 50-50.

Mean while at Force it India things are all sweetness and light.

Is there a decent story anywhere about Ferrari supposedly burning oil as fuel?  Horner was pretty straight forward about that on the grid.

    • That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.
    • They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!
    • I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.
    • Define "starting to fail". Wy not just rebuild them?
    • Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
