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.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
