Well, the rumors have been rife for some time about disparity between RBR's Vettel car and the rest of the grid. Now it appears some retired F1 drivers and engineers have managed to expose something truly odd going on at RBR only with the Vettel car.
A lot of people claimed Webber had sour grapes when he complained of the playing field not being level in seasons gone by. Several race teams who had examine race telemetry could not explain the performance RBR was able to get out of Vettel's car, especially exiting corners. Now it seems they have stumbled over a big clue, exposed by Vettel's huge Singapore race win margin.
Traction control has been banned for several years, to ensure that it isn't an issue all race teams use a F1 control package for the engine management. During the F1 traction control years cars had a very similar sound, especially when power was applied as a car exits a corner. F1 enthusiasts will recall that sound, that deep rattle gun like reverberation as the traction control took care of managing the engine power. Now it appears, for Vettel's cars and for Vettel's car alone, that sound is back!
The speculation is that RBR engineers have found away around the F1 control package to offer Vettel a traction control advantage over the rest of the field. Ironically for Webber, only the Vettel car exhibits the alleged behavior!
Some F1 engineers speculate RBR is using some smart mechanical design so that KERS gets feedback from the suspension loading. Giving Vettel the equivalent of a hybrid electromechanical traction control system. They have offered track audio recordings as evidence.
Ironically, a week or so after the rumor surfaced, Webber has ended up on pole and the early reports from Japan are that the Vettel sound has disappeared!
In defense engineers from RBR are rumored to have linked the unusual sound to Vettel short shifting due to gear box problems. But in the last few races Webber has also been required to short shift and his car did not exhibit that sound.
A fleet of media and F1 connected engineers are now scouring footage and audio from past races and seasons to see if they can find a pattern of audio that will either support or dismiss the speculation.
But there is one thing that is confirmed, if RBR has found to have fiddled with KERS or traction control Vettel's car is illegal.
I must be getting too old, whop the ferk is Azelia Banks?
Every night on TV or radio I see or hear ads for the new album or single from the award winning smash hit performer whom I have never heard of!
Now I read about this Azelia Banks, a foul mouthed female teenage rapper who by the sounds of the descriptions has more tickets on herself than Maradona.
But she hasn't even made an album out yet she is headlining some nothing backyard music festival.
I can give her a great lyrics for her next piss weak rap crap track remix rip off;
Dad:(Thoughfully) I'd say tax is the ideal way for anyone who doesn't produce goods or contribute to society in anyway, shape or form to make a living!
It is interesting reading to catch up on the fate of a young heir to the Red Bull fortune in Thailand.
It seems the lad allegedly killed a policeman while driving his Ferrari through the BKK streets at high speed, the family also own the Ferrari dealership.
In compensation to the family of the deceased police officer they allegedly paid a settlement of $93k to avoid a civil case. $93K probably 1/10th the cost of the Ferrari in Thailand.
That came after another high ranking official allegedly tried to cover it up by arresting a helpless patsy.
Who said the world was fair, and what chance for Australia to deal on even terms in the region with a culture like this on our doorstep?
I wonder if today's stories about Krakouer's racism claims are a beat up!
For me it is completely reasonable if a Pie supporter of any sort pulls up next to you to lock the doors and windows! In fact it would seem prudent!
Just as I would if a skinhead Bumbers fan rocked up in the same space or anyone associated with the Tigers. They are all ferals after all.
I don't see the connection to race at all!
Further adding to my confusion, many of Krakouer's generation commonly sport neck tatoos, hoodies, are unshaven, have their ar5e hanging out of their trackies. They are designer bad boys! That's right, bad boy fashionistas! So isn't the reaction to that fashion actually the effect they are after?
Footy is just about done and dusted, crickets looking up if you are interested. But there is one contest that affects us all, whether you are interested or not!
Many have been saying for sometime, what we really want is Rudd-v-Turnbull. Now the polls are starting to state the bleeding obvious, like it is some sort of great media revelation. They media was all Rudd boosters until 48hrs ago when he told the journalists and commentators their company car would be taxed. FFS, Alan Jones might even need to pay some tax as well! How dare Rudd act this way, old Jonesy has worked hard for decades to lord his success over the weak, poor and miserable he need not contribute to welfare!
The only people hanging onto Abbott are the Coalition's very own Turnbull haters, ostriches, elderly patriarchs and geriatric nuffas. They are the head in the sand climate change deniers who think all technology is evil, they express this view regularly with every letter that they pen and post! Ahh, the rising price of stamps all Labors fault, I am stuck living in poverty I will never be able to buy that seventh house! If this keeps up my privately funded retirement might fall below $3k/week!
These are the people who share Abbott's archaic outlook, not his public opinion, but what he really believes! Broadband bad, ideas bad, change bad, spending bad, the answer to all questions is no!
Arise Sir Malcolm, time to flick your trusty decoy for the ride into the battle of the big chair! Free us from this alternate tyranny of deceit, the smiling death the grinning grave digger. Fear not for him he will survive the shock, his wisdom is worldly, he knows Sh1t Happens!
