KIMI

Haha someone made a youtube clip of all his radio interactions during the race. Funny as. Ill try find it.

Happy he got the win as ive been waiting for it! Priceless Kimi comments though, cant help but think though that it was a little annoying to see him win and still show no emotion lol

^ I suppose in a way you are right. Everyone gets the same rules and regulations to work with, and give that no two teams are identical the pirellis are always going to suit one team better than another. But thats all part of the journey, have to change the car to get the best out of the tires.

Yeah there may have been different teams winning each race for half the season, but the fact is that they are pretty much lead from start to finish by one driver, so on a per race basis, there is nothing interesting happening for the top spot.

Not sure about Lotus pace, Kimi was mixing it with ...

Ive always had my suspicions about RBR. They seem too far ahead at times and yeah, Webbers KERS always seems to 'fail'.

Happy that Kimi is confirmed for next year, if Lotus can make some improvements over the break then I can see him on the top spot at least once next year. Looking forward to the ...

Isn't the government is cutting the police budget? I'm not sure they care all that much tbh.

There is nothing wrong with the current cars they use, they have just pointed out that fuel consumption is not favourable.

Swap out 50,000 Commodores for something less suited to the job and save a bit on gas (possibly) < perhaps with this issue the Police have it could be another step towards ...

Truth be told, it needs to be able to cram a handful of islanders over the rear axle.

If you already have that list of parts, why not get the final bits needed and turbo straight away? Will be a bit of a pig to drive NA with the lower compression. Might as well do the whole job at once!

I think there are compromises to be made depending on which way you decide to go:

- Shortened shock and new springs: MAY get to the ride height you want, probably not spot on, wont be optimally safe and would require cert anyway. Only plus side I see is that it will be lower than before ...

Random question: they obviously film them now, so does that give you grounds to contest a failed test? Say like what I mentioned earlier with my wife failed as she apparently didnt stop at a stop sign.

My wife is going to resit hers in the next couple of weeks. She has had her restricted so long it just sort of fell off the radar as something that wasnt needed.

Anyway she tried a few months back and failed and has been scared to go again. It seems like there is too much riding on the attitude ...

Make it VERY obvious you are checking your mirrors, but not so obvious that you are steering sideways. When you get to a stop sign, stop. And dont use that word loosely! My partner failed because according to the guy she was going 1kmh. She was adamant she had stopped.

Yeah Hulkneberg at Sauber is pretty much confirmed. I heard the other seat is most likely going to their current reserve driver (cant remember his name).

FI seat should be filled by Algesuari, he needs a comeback. Not that he has done a bad job doing some commentary this season! Thats a great ...
