Williamss appear to be going backwards, and look like struggling to score points:( Toyota, Ferrari, McLaren and Renault all looking  strong, then you have Honda who are sitting out the next few GPs...more work to do:(

Hard to say until the 2nd qualifying session - he's not too badly placed atm for a points finish? I see another Toyota win looking likely though?

Qualifying isn't really Webbers weak point, its his racing. He does enough to hold onto a points scoring position but then makes 2-3 silly mistakes every race that loses him those 5 positions that take it from a 1-2 point scramble to 'just another finish'.

Huh? Toyota have never won an F1 race in their history...

Think you may have been referring to Renault - in which case, I agree with you :cheers:

:Oops: Woops- sorry, I have a head full of snot atm.

Should have said a Toyota win - I reckon Trulli might get up.

I'm not a Toymotor fan, just want to see another team win one for a change and make things a bit interesting!

I think it will be between Fonso and liddle Kimi. Apparently Kimi was doing it easy. Toyota? maybe, though Trulli in the past has had Webber tendancies, that is, qualified well and dropped off during the race. At this point they are so close in times that it is hard to see if anyone has an advantage (although Kimi stated he lost around 0.5 sec in the first sector).

I hope Webber can get it together for the race. Apart from anything, it will just get the critics off his back. I'm sure he's got it in him. He's one of the quickest over one lap. During the race, does he just push too hard or is it a concentration thing?

Are we being a little too hard on Webers racing? I dont think he deserves that sort of wrap, he normally races well. This season it was only the last race where he went backwards...and thats because he couldnt clear the Toyota early in the race.

I think he is one of the better racers myslef, i dont think Williams are at the top of their game at the moment...we will see how they go over the next month of two, but it would appear from practices problems it wont be a weekend to remember.

My money is on Kimi tonight, with MS 2nd and Alonso 3rd

You are probably right Roy. I try not to be too hard on Webber and still hope for some good results in the future.

I guess alot of people were looking forward to this season with Williams, expected alot and to date have been disappointed. Not disappointed in relation to Webber's driving necessarily, but the net result so far, which I know has a lot to do with the car.

For some reason I don't think MS will be up there in the race. Don't know why I think that. He may just surprise me, like he did last race. That was awesome.

Im from the other end of the spectrum. I wasnt expecting a whole lot form either Weber or Williams, based purely on the results of the past two seasons where they had long term drivers, same engineering staff etc etc. This season there have been a few infastructure changes, so that combined with patchy performace past two seasons...

Well i was expecting most GPs to be like the last, and just quietly its good to see Weber so far showing a bit more promise then Heidfield, as quietly i was thinking Heidfield was going to show up our boy:) Glad to see i was wrong:)

I was actually surprised by how well Heidfeld has gone compared to Webber, he has out qualified him a couple of times now but I think Heidfeld is starting from the back or something in this one?

in F1 Webber, has usually seemed to qualify well, start poorly then drive solidly (generalisation but still, bloody Fisichella running into him the other race :rofl: ). Hard to say whats the car and whats him, but I think when he gets the setup right and his starts and racecraft right I dont see why he wont start winning races.....hopefully

Fingers cross Webber don't bog down on launch. I want to see him brake super late into the first corner!

It's SO hard to chose who to barrick for. Webber cause he's an aussie. Kimi cause I'm a maclarens man. And Toymotor cause I own one now...

Why couldn't Ron Dennis sign Webber up and I buy a merc??? I'm such a cheap b@stard! :rofl:

minardi's are crap! the couldn't eve start the race now! Why do thy even bother?

Sucks to be them! How pissed off would you be if you came all that way to stall on the grid.

Kimi looks quick - I'm going to shut up and stop trying to predict whose going to win these things.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
