[QUOTE=FitStir;50314193]True, but isn't Manor also is using a 2014 chassis, and up to a few months ago they weren't even sure if they'd make the grid.
Dallara has a pedigree too if they wind up making the chassis, and they'll be getting some tech info from Maranello.

Like the HRT?

JEV to Haas seems very likely.....decent driver, has experience, ect......I think Hulkenberg may be the other prospect.......That would be a decent driver line-up

0.558 between Nico and Lewis. Should make for an awkward press conference.

Nico has been on the back foot ever since the radio ban.

No end in sight.

Nico need to stop being nico, and prove his worth to his team, or his contract will be gone next year.

Williams team should have done better

Go watch some 2014 qualy's

"Where am I losing time?"

Engineer compares Nico's hot lap timing sheet with HAM's.

"Braking into turn 1 and Sector 3."

To be fair, HAM asked the same question and got the same feedback. We can see now who really needs it.

Seriously I've spent more time away from home this last month than at home and I'll be gone next week too.


I did manage to get my car tuned today. After an all night thrash last night when the timing belt jumped teeth I got the car back together at 330 am and was ready to tune at 830. New numbers in sig. So close to 400 ft/lb! Then went to a pig picking. Mmmmmmmmmm

Hell I haven't even been able to see how qualifying went yet...

I'm good with that info not being allowed in the race but I think they should be able to tell them in qualifying. Not cause I want Nico to do anything but because they can just come into the pits and get that info if they really want. Just me doe.

Any chance Lew stays and Merc and Nico gets pushed aside in favor of a certain Spaniard?

Almost picked Button instead of Alonso for most positions gained damn it. Oh well prob won't get that one now. Happy they broke into Q2. I think I said Q2 in Bahrain and Points in Spain during FP2 for China. So far on track.

It was at 2 more psi but it was also more humid and the car was more heat soaked. Temp in dyno room was about the same as last time. I wasn't able to tell anything because it was raining when I left. Very humid today but last time it was about as dry as it gets in SE NC.

For the first time ever the car was spinning the tires on the dyno in 4th gear. That made me proud lol.

It was randomly breaking up too. I'm sure I'll have fun chasing that down. We closed the gap but it would still pop up on occasion. My tuner said he has had more luck using iridium spark plugs in higher boost honda's for some reason when it comes to breaking up. I'm using the standard bkr7e so maybe I'll try the iridium version to see if it makes a difference.

I miss the GSC idle but having the damn near stock driveability with the car is so nice.
