F***in Sato! Baulked Webber in qualifying and MW starts 7th because of it. FIA will decide to slap a fine o Sato for it. Sato's not doing to well to retain his drive for 06. :)

But lookie here... Kimi on the front! YAY!

Mark Webber, Williams (7th, +1.147s):

“As with qualifying these days, we won’t really know our performance until the race but we look pretty reasonable here. Obviously BAR didn’t have any communications, or Takuma didn’t know what was happening. He did a very slow lap, then an even slower in-lap, which compromised my qualifying but that’s how it goes. That was a really important corner and it probably compromised my lap by about three tenths of a second. We’re still up there though.”

Webber is the 2nd unluckiest driver in F1 after Kimi.

wow here's some news it seems Sato has been disqualified. doesn't help webber though as even 3 hundredths of a second would have put him ahead of heidfeld. bummer.

It's a shame as Webber looked like he had decent pace for the first time in a while. He put good passes on both Red Bulls in the first few laps, although i'm sure the Red Bulls were carrying much more fuel given how far they went into the race. Would have been interesting to see how both Webber and Heidfeld went if they didn't keep having blow outs on the right rear. Definately a set up problem, but you think Williams would have got it right for race day considering the same thing happened to Webber during Saturday morning practice.

FFS, get your act together WILLIAMS!@!@!

yeah but in montoya's defence his tyres were rooted, he was just fighting to stay ahead....and made a simple mistake. Its just that it is such a tight corner that it makes it a big off.

And how bad was his luck getting smacked by the Jordan? Alonso never would have been near unless that happened :D

What a race! What a great track. How good was it to actually see F1 cars slipstreaming each other!?!? I can not wait until next years race in the sphincter of the universe where there will be less downforce and closer racing.

Webber, his luck continues...hang in there mate!

yeah that was quite a decent race. I thought the moves webber pulled on the two RBR cars were pretty nice going around the outside. his move on schumacher would have been nice too up the inside had schuweave not excecuted 'the chop' webber was even further alongside when the went into the corner but realising schuey was going to take off his nose he back out of it a tad but they still colided. I though webber giving him the finger was a nice touch...

Yeah montoya would not have had a good nights sleep after that one i think as he drove a great race until that farking jordan rear ended him, i would say after that it's likely his tyres were gooone and he would have been a bit rattled too.

Such a shame that williams cannot get their sh1t together.

Montoya said that the Jordan incident rooted the rear diffuser. The corner he lost it in was a highspeed combination of lefts and there was just no downforce. Either way if he didn't lost it, Alonso would've gotten him exiting the turns.

hahaha thats about William's only chance tonight I reckon.

Not quite, good ol Pizza boy (driving for the injured Heidfeld) got in the points with a decent, but unspectacular drive last night.

As per usual, Webber lucked out! He ended up running up DC's arse in turn one after DC clipped the car in front of him which was a bit of a shame as Webber actually had very good pace through the race. Webber's drag with Sato down the pit lane was also quite entertaining. I'm sure Webber would have finished way in front of Pizzonia if he got cleanly through turn 1, so more points have gone begging. Same old story really...

Also feel sorry for Kimi...

Puts the car on pole with a very heavy fuel load

Then has to change the engine and start from 11th

Then gets stuck behind the F1 moving chicane that is JV

Then finally works his way up to 3rd after 1st round of stops

Then gets a delaminating tyre, has to pit again and drops to 12th behind JV

Then works his way up to 4th and spins as he closed in on Fisi and looses a place to Trulli

I know Webber's had his fare share of bad luck, but Kimi must have thrown a black cat through a mirror whilst standing under a ladder as the man is cursed! He's a a country mile quicker than anyone else on the grid, yet still finds himself in 2nd place in the drivers championship...poor bastard!

    • 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.
