Yeah as a Hamilton fan this [censored] me off, but Seb did exactly the right thing per the rules, and optimized his race by running balls out for two laps in clean air. Everyone followed the rules and the rules applied fairly to everyone involved.

Dude's a millionaire superstar. He can do what he wants as long as it's not illegal.

Hey, seven years later and I still have most of those magnets. They have held up great in engine oil sumps. I did have one bad result. I put one on the drain plug of my '99 Protege manual trans. It did feel a little funny putting it in, like it hit something. As I backed out of the driveway...

So it says on the bottle that it turns any PS fluid into Honda PS fluid. Well we all know that Dexron III is excellent PS fluid..so it should turn ATF into Honda PS fluid, right? Well, we'll find out. Cos I flushed the PS system on my CR-V with ATF and topped it up with a bottle and a quarter...

HRT! HRT for 2011 WCC! Even Ross, Norbert, and Michael say they will be competing for podiums at best, and they will need a lot of luck and hard work to even get a GP win this season. But I do like Nico. Just something about him is really likeable. that he's clearly faster than Schumi last...

Teams are still allowed to use exhaust gas to energize flow in the diffuser, there is just much stricter regulation about slots in the decks, I think.

That's pretty freaky. Seems so counterintuitive. Apparently other teams are already building their versions.

Renault did have a KERS unit but abandoned it maybe 1/2 or 2/3 of the way into the season, I believe.

Right, the gyroscopic effect can be interesting. Also the safety aspect of a flywheel with a BUNCH of kinetic energy stored in it hurtling down a straightaway at 190MPH...

Williams were working on a flywheel design that stored the energy as motion, right, as opposed to batteries? But I don't think they even tested it, and it's not really practical for a race car...the mass of the disc has to be fairly high, and it has to be kept in near perfect vacuum on near...

Next year with KERS back McLaren will reign supreme with a strong challenge from Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton will win, with a strong assist from his able teammmate Jenson Button sniping points off a very strong Alonslow. Too bad Ferrari's #2 driver will suck, will all his will to win sapped by...

When I used to work at the service station we called that a "Dual O-Ring Application" and it only takes it happening once (and it happens to everyone once) to have it never happen again! This is also why, immediately after starting it, before backing it out or anything you a) wait for the OP...

I like how the article didn't say what brand of oil it was (I'm thinking Mobil1 but I don't know if that's suitable for a diesel) so I know it's not a shill piece. Also, LOL@ Did the winter suddenly get cold in Canada? comment.

I think the whole rusted brake lines and bleeders ixnay is a red herring. Brake fluid is very well sealed into the INSIDE of the hydraulic system. If even a drop of it is getting on the OUTSIDE of the bleeder, for example, that's a malfunction. Sounds interesting, would it mix with acetone to...

I use the cheapest WD-40 clone there is. AAP MPL or Walmart "Lubricant."
