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.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
