Vergne hospitalised amid extreme F1 diets Jean-Eric Vergne has admitted he was hospitalised recently amid an extreme weight-loss regime for the 2014 season. Bigger than teammate and Toro Rosso newcomer Daniil Kvyat, the slight Russian teen, Frenchman Vergne admitted he committed to losing several kilograms over the winter to prepare for F1's much heavier new cars. "The weight difference between myself and my teammate was making me lose four tenths (per lap)," Vergne, who was given a rare third consecutive season with the Red Bull junior team this year, told French media. "I did a diet this winter but you get to certain limits that the body can no longer take. "Actually, I was in hospital between the Grands Prix in Australia and Malaysia because of a lack of water and a little bit of lack of everything. I was very weak," the 23-year-old revealed. Vergne said that while the minimum car-plus weight limit was raised by the FIA for the new turbo V6 rules, the 692kg figure is still far too low. "Frankly, this (situation) is stupid," he insisted. "Formula one cars are very difficult to drive and we need all of our skills. Being forced to lose weight is not good." Vergne said the matter has been discussed by the drivers several times already in 2014, "but we have not reached a solution. "Some lighter drivers want to keep their edge," he said.

RACE REPORT : Hamilton defeats Rosberg in epic desert duel Lewis Hamilton beat Mercedes team mate Nico Rosberg to victory after an epic race-long battle under the Bahrain floodlights on Sunday, with the pair trading places on numerous occasions and crossing the line just one second apart. Hamilton's hard fought victory - in what was the 900th Formula One Grand Prix - enabled him to close the gap to Rosberg in the world championship standings by seven points. The German now holds a narrow 11-point advantage in the early stages of the title race. Hamilton had pushed his way into the lead at the start and defended it robustly from Rosberg, and soon the two Silver Arrows had left their opposition for dead. But while Hamilton resisted further attacks from Rosberg at the end of the first stint and then opted for another set of Pirelli’s soft tyres on the 19th lap, Rosberg went for mediums two laps later and planned to do a longer middle stint and to attack again on soft tyres when Hamilton switched to mediums at the end. The difference between the two compounds was surprisingly small, around two-tenths of a second a lap, but by the 40th lap Hamilton had opened a lead of 9.7s when Lotus's Pastor Maldonado drove out of the pits and straight into the side of Esteban Gutierrez’s Sauber at Turn 1. The Mexican’s car was spectacularly inverted, and as Gutierrez extracted himself the eventual safety car deployment looked like ruining Hamilton’s race. Maldonado was handed a 10-second stop-go penalty for the incident and a subsequent five-place grid drop for the next race. For five laps the field bunched back together behind Bernd Maylander’s Mercedes safety car, and the vast 45.5s gap to Force India’s Sergio Perez in third place was instantly eradicated. But the real focus was on the upcoming battle between the two Mercedes, with the advantage apparently now Rosberg’s after he had taken another set of softs as planned on the 41st lap. Mercedes chief Paddy Lowe advised both drivers over the radio that there were 10 laps left and reminded them that the team wanted both cars brought home, but they were otherwise left to fight it out. And how they did just that! Several times it seemed that Rosberg had nosed ahead, only for Hamilton to salvage the situation either on the cutback or simply by hanging tough. Rosberg had the gap down to half a second on the 51st and 52nd laps, but all of his attacks were repelled by Hamilton’s spirited yet fair defence, and finally they crossed the line a second apart. The safety car also skewed the race for many other drivers. Sergio Perez had driven a blinder for Force India to outpace team mate Nico Hulkenberg, as they scrapped for much of the race with Williams duo Felipe Massa and Bottas, but the three-stoppers were disadvantaged by the two-stopping Red Bulls which were on softer rubber when it mattered after Vettel opted to start on the mediums. Daniel Ricciardo blew past his team mate after a tremendous tussle, and just failed to grab the final podium slot from Perez. The Mexican crossed the line 0.4s ahead of the Australian to give Force India their first podium finish since the 2009 Belgian Grand Prix. Behind them, Vettel was unable to unseat Hulkenberg, and had to settle for sixth as the bright weaving crocodile of cars ran beneath the floodlights. Seventh and eighth places were poor reward for Massa and Bottas, who arguably lost out the most under the safety car and just couldn’t pull in the Red Bulls, while the best that Ferrari could muster was ninth for Fernando Alonso and 10th for Kimi Raikkonen. In his 250th Grand Prix Jenson Button had been in the running for a top six placing, but the safety car hampered him and then his McLaren ran into reliability problems. He was eventually classified 16th despite parking his car in the garage before the chequered flag. Just as the safety car had come out, team mate Kevin Magnussen’s sister MP4-29 had retired with suspected gearbox trouble, so it was a tough day for the Woking team. This time Russian rookie Daniil Kvyat didn’t score a point but he was Toro Rosso’s only finisher in 11th ahead of Romain Grosjean’s Lotus, while Max Chilton’s three-stopping Marussia led home Maldonado’s E22, Kamui Kobayashi’s two-stopping Caterham, and the other Marussia of Jules Bianchi who lost a load of time after being penalised for an earlier collision with Adrian Sutil’s Sauber, which retired as a result. Besides Magnussen, Gutierrez and Sutil, Marcus Ericsson retired his Caterham with mechanical issues and Jean-Eric Vergne suffered from a tyre-destroying collision on the opening lap and retired with associated complications. Rosberg continues to lead the world championship with 61 points, but Hamilton is only 11 points back with 50. Hulkenberg is third with 28 ahead of Alonso on 26 and Vettel on 23. And in the constructors’ stakes Mercedes continue to race away with 111 points from Force India on 44, McLaren on 43, Red Bull on 35, Ferrari on 33 and Williams on 30.

Great job pmorg, Ye weather wasn't kind to doing the exterior today unfortunately..!!

Quote from Lewis following the race. What an incredible day. That was a really tough race tonight and I am absolutely delighted to have come home with the win. It's a long time since I had a race like that! My weekend started off well but I didn't really have great pace for qualifying and the race. I knew that I needed a good start and to go into the first corner in the lead was crucial to my race this evening. From there, it was such a battle. Nico drove fantastically well and, in all honesty, he had the pace on me today but I managed to hold on. I knew when the safety car came out that Nico would be on the option tyres and that he would be quick. To try and stay ahead of him was so hard and when I came across the line I was just so relieved. When you're racing your team-mate, the pressure is really intense and we both knew that we had to bring the cars home for the team and for the championship. All credit to the team for allowing us to race and I hope the fans loved the show that we were able to put on tonight. A big thank you to the team, especially to my engineers for all the information they were giving me during the race, and to everyone here and back at the factories for all their hard work. Another one-two is just fantastic for us. I'm also very proud to have joined Fangio with 24 Grand Prix wins today, he's one of the great racers of all time so that's a real honour.

A lawyer and a senior citizen are sitting next to each other on a long flight. The lawyer thinks that seniors are so dumb, he can 'put one over on them' quite easily. So, the lawyer asks if the senior would like to play a fun game. The senior is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists, saying that the game is a lot of fun... "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me only £5. Then you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you £500" he says. This catches the senior's attention and, to keep the lawyer quiet, he agrees to play the game. The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the Earth to the Moon?" The senior doesn't say a word, but reaches into his pocket, pulls out a five pound note, and hands it to the lawyer. Now, it's the senior's turn. He asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs, and come down with four?" The lawyer uses his laptop to search all references he could find on the Net. He sends E-mails to all the smart friends he knows; all to no avail. After an hour of searching, he finally gives up. He wakes the senior and hands him £500. The senior pockets the £500 and goes back to sleep. The lawyer is now going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the senior up and asks, "Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?" The senior reaches into his pocket, hands the lawyer a £5 note and goes back to sleep. Never mess with seniors - they are smarter than they look...!!

Yep sounds like a Nissan Main dealer rip off, sure somebody will be along to tell you what it is, maybe PM Zmanalex and ask the question

Good news Vlad, well done.

Ban Maldonado for at least 2 races, Just shows what the new nose does . flips the other car over..!

PM Pete, I think about £15 to up-rate yours which he will do. Well worth it. Do you send them away then to be modified as such ?? He may be able to just exchange them JUST PM him,he will give you all the answers.

PM Pete, I think about £15 to up-rate yours which he will do. Well worth it.

Try this first. if not PM peteman35 for an uprated set. Got a set of uprated boot poppers from peteman35 on here, they work perfectly until I park on a slope like my parking spaces outside my house. Solved that by glueing two washers and painting them black onto the flat bit the poppers sit on. Now opens regardless of the slope. Job done.!

Thats nothing to do with the struts it a problem with the poppers. Have a look at what I did a day or two ago in the post "What mods have you done today" that will solve your problem.

Dont ruin a good pi55 up with a tube of Pringles. ..

Got 2nd had £5 each way..haven't picked it up yet, cannot be much only ever bet on the Natioinal, so know nothing about real horses only a bit about Horsepower...

A yes..! .My old mate Hachiko in Shibuya..
