I wouldnt have a clue who is getting the drive. I know who i dont want to get the drive:) right now im not so worried about Williams, we already have Weber, right now i just want DC to pick up the Red Bull drive.

In a way i want pizza boy to get the seat, just so mid season after being humiliated by Weber again he can get dropped and Williams hand the driver over to someone else:)

That will kill his career for sure:thumbsup:

What i did read is that WEST are being replaced by Johnie Walker:alcoholic:

Yeah, you got a point there. If webber is as good as we say he is, what does it matter if piss-on-ia gets the drive? surely the way we've talked webber up he will walk all over him. if not :Oops:

On the other hand I think it would be really good for webber to have a team mate he can work with. Otherwise there will be so much wasted energy spent clashing with piss.

here you go Roy (taken from planetF1):

"David Coulthard will remain in F1 in 2005 as he's signed a deal to drive Red Bull Racing, that is according to the team's boss Dietrich Mateschitz.

In the latest instalment in the David Coulthard/Red Bull saga, reports have emerged claiming that Red Bull have come to the conclusion that they need at least one experienced man in their ranks.

"There is no way we would go forward if we had two inexperienced drivers in the car," a team source told The Sunday Mirror.

"We have to have a driver who can develop the car and establish a baseline for the engineers."

And that driver is none other than David Coulthard, who Mateschitz says has already done a deal with Red Bull Racing, the former Jaguar Racing outfit.

"When someone has won 13 grand prix races and also has such a personality, we don't need to discuss much," Mateschitz told Austria's Kronenzeitung newspaper.

However, he did add that "in terms of marketing two youngsters would be best" for Red Bull Racing in their debut season, but immediately conceded that "having an experienced driver is more intelligent."

Neither Red Bull nor Coulthard have confirmed these reports."

Looks like DC is back.

Richard

Its not confirmed but I reckon hes back for sure.

In my opinion Red Bull have no other option. They obviously need experience to provide credible feedback to engineers and they need a driver that is reliable and reasonably quick.

Speculation has it that RB will opt for 1 full time driver and two part-timers that will alternate through the course of the season. Obvously DC would be the preferred full time driver. I think its a pretty good idea.

Has anyone heard more on the DC link to Team Dubai?

Sounds like they'll be in the starting line up in 2006 and DC is tipped as driver, as well as being involved in the business side of the team.

Odds are he'll be racing for RBR.

Yeah Team Dubai are in talks with Mercedes for customer engines. Whispers say that DC would get the drive because of his relationship with Mercedes. But then again, Wurz is also in the running. Doubt it cause he's all testing these days.

what team did Team Dubai used 2 b?

Well, DC and Red Bull are confirmed - a one year deal at the bargain basement rate of $A5.3 million (half his salary last year).

I'd still marry him for his money :)

excellent. The most interesting bit in that story is the part that says that heidfeld is now favoured over pizza for the williams drive. :):D:(

So as much as id love to see Weber do well next year...does anyone think he will make the top 3 in the championship, or win a GP?

My money is on McLaren drivers and those red cars to fight for wins...Renault performance to fall off a little, BAR to be struggle to repeat 2004 results. Why did they let David Richards go?????

I reckon Webber has the driving potential for a podium finish, it'll all come down to the car BMW Williams supply (apparently they are announcing details early Jan after they decide if Heidfeld or Pizzaboy will drive in the second seat).

The money is on BMW putting up a competitive, relaible engine this season (important when it needs to last 2 race weekends), but I think they will have better luck in 2006 under the v8/2.4L regs.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
