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.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
