Roseberg is such a shit kicker... :rofl:

I used to like him but have now discovered he's reckless... Unthinking is the best way to put it. How he managed to collect Montoya is beyond me. JPM pulled the exact same move on schumi a couple laps before with no problems...

thats the best pic of what happened that i can get.

this alonso/renault combo is unbelieveable... i cannot forsee a race that he wont win... This might go down as the most dominated season ever!! And Mclaren is back on the money... Raikkonen first stint was sensational. The car is starting to develop real raw pace.

The red team is nowhere... Schumi i think is making the car look beter than it acctually is

my only question is this... WTF is Alonso doing here? :rofl:

How can you say the Ferraris were nowhere. Massa was around and MS looked threatening. If he had of jumped Trulli at the start it would have been a very interesting race. With MS losing time behind the Toyota and Kimi's pitstops hurting him...well it took a bit out of the race. Good on DC though for getting Button... :P

ahhh the voice of reason...so much better.

schumacher also had a heavier fuel load in the first stint

exactly... massa was 'around'.... at no point did he even remotly threaten the top guys. his race pace was disracefl considering how fast his team mate was going...

massa 1 stopped...so he would have been 1 of the heaviest cars out there for the majority of the race

5th was a good result considering he one stopped, should have been very heavy and the tyre wear was nothing like teams were expecting. Look what happened to all the other Bridgestone runners.

Ppl are quick to jump on Massa, but he isnt doing that bad a job..after all its his first season back with the team. Look at Fisi in his 2nd season in a team with an establised driver...he had Renault/Benetton experience earlier in his career...it all takes time to get a relationhsip with your engineers. I cantthink of may team mates who have joined a team and matched the existing driver...adn we are talking about MS as the poor guys partner/measuring stick

5th was bullshit... only reason he got that far up was cause 3 people DNF'd infront of him...

im not saying he's shit im just saying that he is a more accurate representation of where ferrari really are in the hands of a good driver (not an exceptional one, like he's team mate)

rosberg decided to try to maintain the position...schumacher knew it would result in him being parked in a wall like rosberg, so took the grass to avoid it....and was applauded by montoya...

I've watched this incident a couple of times and still can't make up my mind of whom is to blame. Montoya had the line into the first corner and Rosberg gave him room but he had the 2nd corner and Montoya didn't want to give him any room because he knew that would put him in the outside wall. The fact that Montoya hit Rosberg in the side pod shows that Montoya still didn't own the 2nd part of the corner.

You can't just punt your car up the inside and force the other bloke off the track onto the grass, that's not racing.

It was good to see Webber actually finish a race even though he was nowhere. After about lap 5 I thought he may end up with some points with everyone up the front dropping out but that wasn't to be.

My 2c was that Rosberg was pretty scrappy and had been for a few corners...and Montoya had him on the inside at about the 21 second frame of that footage.

Rosberg had every right to hang around on the outside, but he must have knows a car that far up the inside is far more committed to the corner. Montoya grabbed a whole lot of kerb adn grass trying to stay tight but drifted a little wide.

He would have been massivly compromised at the corner exit of the left hander. It just seems to be the sort of incident that Webber was getting himslef involved in last year because he was trying too hard.

The fact that Montoya had just pulled the same move on MS, well MS knew it was worht figthing righ tup to the point where it was goign to cost him his car so he surrended...Rosberg should have done the same

      My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
