been a big fan of my samsung galaxy s2 for the past 2 years and thinking of getting a new phone. Torn between samsung galaxy s4, nexus 4 and maybe even the s3 if it drops in price.
what do clever folk on the forum think?xperia z seems like a good bet.
I agree with the Sony Xperia Z recommendation. However, the folks at Gsmarena.com have tested the Samsung Galaxy S4 against it and it seems that the Samsung might be the better buy. I still prefer the Xperia Z though.

So I’ve been thinking a bit about this whole Vettel disobeying team orders malarkey and although my initial thoughts were ‘he’s such a cunt’, I now have a different view. I have always disliked team orders. I like cars/drivers to race! The number of times I’ve wished Barrichello disobeyed the team orders that benefitted Schumacher back in the Ferrari days were plenty! I wish Rosberg did a Vettel in Malaysia as well and overtook Hamilton. It would have been so much more interesting. So now, I think - fair play Seb, that’s what a winner and a champ should do. Fuck team orders. I did feel sorry for Webber though but I think ultimately he’s pissed off because he knows Vettel is better than him and he can’t do anything about it. He should man up a bit and just get his own back if he’s that riled by it all.
This season is certainly going to be very spicey from now on I reckon! Bring it.
Vettel apologises to every member of the Red Bull team.
Rosberg praised for team ethic.Well it looks like Christian Horner has shown some teeth after all. There is some bite to go with the bark.
Or, was it directly related to Vettel's immediate comments after the race. He said that he "saw from the team's reaction that (he) had messed up". I just went back and watched the team's reaction to his win. It was all stoney faces and a distinct lack of high-fives and chest-bumps. Even Adrian Newey looked disgusted. Maybe thats when Vettel knew.

Mercedes must be pretty confident to show their engine so early. I'd think the Japanese engines would be hard to beat, should Honda be coming back as has been said.

I know they're not particularly recommended, but does anyone know of a relatively light chain that stands out from the crowd? I'm thinking of something around the size of the Onguard Mastiff
or Hiplok Lite
I apologise, I hadn't seen this. Neither can be recommended.

Looking forward to the Magnum 3103 coming to market.

And it finally has! Adding to the list.

I just had a look at their range, and sadly, those Squire Zenith locks cannot make these lists. Maybe they can lock little children's bikes, but not those of members of this forum.
As tragic as that suggestion was, there was a highlight - I found the Squire Hammerhead lock. It looks to be truly excellent, and I shall be including it in the Secondary Locks list.

This is hard to believe, even for me, but since when did Lewis become canny?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/21924821
In the BBC article, he says that Mercedes have the second fastest car, and he hopes that Mercedes can make it the fastest.
I can only take that to be clever gamesmanship, to rattle the other teams a bit, but also a psychological tool too boost the Mercedes engineers back at the factory. But it does seem an odd thing to say, even in slight jest.
At the moment, the quick teams are Lotus, Ferrari, The Vettel team, and Mercedes, and how does Lewis see the Mercedes as being the second fastest in that group? I believe that Ferrari have upgrades due, and have been fast anyway; same goes for Lotus, and The Vettel team. Is this wishful thinking, or do Mercedes have the capacity to improve so much, that they are second fastest now, and could be fastest.
I'm a big Lewis fan, but I don't believe this. Anyway, McLaren have made such a leap from one race to another, that if they keep this up, by halfway through the season, they'll be challenging for a podium.

John Watson says that Vettel should be stood aside for one race by Red Bull.
Interesting ideas from a respected former racer. I agree, that Vettel's actions have undermined Christian Horner's position within the team.
How can Horner tell anyone in the team to do anything, when one employee chooses to ignore his direct instructions? I hadn't thought of it in that light, but yes, that is an inevitable conclusion, that Horner's authority is now in question.

So I've been thinking
Really gridds?
As Dammit has said, Vettel did not compete, and show his superior skill, he simply took advantage of his team mate following team instructions to turn his engine down. Had Webber not done this, he would have definitely have won. BUT, his and Vettel's engines would have not lasted for many races, and the amount of engines a team can use (without onerous penally) is finite.
There was nothing at all that was positive in what Vettel did. If Webber was so slow, why was he ahead when both their engines were turned up. If Vettel were so good, surely he would have easily been ahead of Webber.

Moderator/Super Moderator/Site Boss, please re-establish the Locks That Works first post. I've made price changes, which were long over-due. Do I have to go through this every single time I edit first posts in threads I've started? Last time, it took hours for me to finish what I'd started, as I had to wait to add some forgotten changes.

So gridds, by that token, Red Bull F1 is actually Red Bull Renault, and Torro Rosso is Torro Rosso Ferrari? That's an interesting way of looking at it. And what do you call them when they change engine suppliers, like Torro Rosso will do next year?
I've never seen someone define a F1 car by its engine, in equal consideration to its brand...... Except for Ferrari, obviously. I learn something new everyday.
I haven't, but it's been tested by IT media, so that's all people can go by. I did say it was by GSMarena.
You seem confused. Time for that afternoon lie-down Joe?
Smooches!
