We also have "Carlos could be forgiven for being less motivated this year as he's leaving the team" whereas Lewis should be spanking his teammate....
The were, but Wolff said something along the lines of the experiments run on Lewis' car went wrong while the ones on Russel's car didn't go quite...
It's widely known that Lewis spent the first half of 2022 in data-gathering mode, trying out lots of different setups on the car to try to...
We're only a handful of races into 2024. 2023, unsuccessful? I'd call 3rd place WDC in the third/fourth fastest car, with your teammate in 8th, a...
He had a very capable teammate (a WDC no less) who was allowed to race him, and he had Vettel in the cheat-mode Ferraris. I'd say two of Lewis'...
I suspect this was Ferrari's F1 gearbox test mule.
Better at what? Neither LeClerc nor Sainz has ever put together a WDC challenge. It is much harder to perform under such pressure, in a car...
I thought Ferrari was supposed to supply parts in perpetuity for all models, as long as you were having work done at a dealer?
By the way are you aware that the Capristo valve works opposite to the factory one? It uses vacuum to close, not open, and requires a new...
I'd love to get it mapped to open earlier in 2nd too.
Just over 2500rpm is about right unless you're in 2nd... the valve opens at: >=80% throttle open and >2,800 rpm in 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th....
Same. I'd set it to 75. Then 85 as the car feels happier there. Then that would feel a bit slow so 95. Then you might as well do 100. An Audi RS...
Exactly this. There are many areas on these cars where a non-OEM part will perform just as well as the part that arrives in a yellow horsey box....
That's not wiring the valve open physically, it's installing a switch in the cabin that energises the solenoid. My 5.2 has this setup and it works...
[ATTACH] "Pirelli for Ferrari in Italy is difficult" said the recovery guy to me as I stood at the side of the road wondering if it was worth...
You can. Previous owner my car had them rebuilt by Radicool in the UK.
Making the gear oil more slippery degrades the operation of the synchros no matter what they are made of.
Just to be clear, I wasn't recommending the 300 LS, quite the opposite in fact. The LS version contains slip additive which is not good for your...
There are many threads where people have shared their experience of different gear oils. The oil manufacturers recommend prioritising synchros...
I paid £450 to Winner, delivered, for both sides, so they are a little more than a quarter of the OEM price here in the UK. Haven't fitted them...
