Thats laughable considering all the BS we have had to put up with over the past 9 months!!

its all becoming a HUGE joke at the moment, the main race seems to be who can get to the press the fastest now not the finish line.

They need...no...desperately demand a good show - for our sakes let me remind you - and a penalty for LH will add up to a grandstand finish with 3 dirvers going toe to toe for it in the final exciting chapter!!!! Great for ratings if your a follower of Friends, 24, Prison break etc etc etc ..

looks like the FIA is taking a chapter out of the VESCO book on how to rig a final round!!

pretty sure the lights were still on on the safety car at the time of the incident....

to me that pretty much makes it clear that hamilton was driving like a f**k wit (especially given the conditions) when he had absolutely no reason to be heating tires or brakes as the lights were still on and the safety car obviously wasn't due in yet...

Hope he gets the penalty he deserves, especially considering Vettel has been penalised 10 grid spots for a crash that came about because of eratic driving by the race leader :thumbsup:

I agree with M4gtr on the whole 'FIA are in it for ratings not racing' pov, and yes, it is full of s*#@. However, firstly, it is inherent given the Bernie/Banks/Mosley set-up... Do you really expect the heirarcy aren't going to íntervene when necissary' in order to maintain profits and popular appeal? I'm sure you know that in particular is a major factor? As far as I'm concern, F1 should never of been owned, nor should it ever, fact is however, it is... After Alonso's 'blocking penalty' at Monza last year, I will say I do see your point about total lack of partial judgement within the governing of race weekends, on this year's spying scandal, the jury is still out..

On the 5 car lengths thing, if it is a rule, and Hamilton did not adher to it, then it is legit, as it, be it directly or indireclt (depend on pov), it caused an accident. Remember all those stop-goes and drive throught between 2002 and 2004? Between Ralfie, Montoya, Schumi and co. When they all went argy bargie for a few weekends there and the pit exit line shenanigans??? These rule violations happen, deal with it, it is entirely a driver's resonsibility to pilot the car in acorrect manner that is entirely adherent to the rules and regs.. Simple as that..

good. a ten place penalty will bring louise back in webber area of the grid. time for some payback mark. get your vomiting, swearing aussie self dialed in, then t-bone the bastard! it seems turning one into a canoe is the closest you will get to a decent car.

yeah mark is old school irish. not like you new generation fagotty irish.

I mean he's driven when sick, drive with spew helmet, driven with his arse on fire, driven after doing 4 back-flips over the fence and just generally drive the most crappy cars in the field. we salute you webber!

Looks like a 10 place grid penalty may be on the way... that'll spice up the last couple of races

My intrest in the rest of the season is back on track

Well I noticed a couple of things.

1. The piss weak folk at FIA/ITV had their coverage removed from Youtube (the bits that missed the incident). Bit rich for them to use someone elses for their own purposes then, really.

2. Lewis was was over the right hand side of the track near on level with the safety car. Webber was on the other side & only a couple of car lengths behind the safety car aswell. Sure, Lewis was driving erratically (& should be fined and/or slapped about for it) but really I don't think they can pin Webber's accident on him.

backflips... not once but TWICE in two successive days!

he is the toughest guy on the grid, no doubt, and that manly chin cleft of his must pull the chicks no end. Not when its covered in spew mind you...

Vettel is getting pinned to remember… seems like apportioning blame to everybody equally is what the FIA is looking to do

So fking up your career prospects isn't penalty enough?

I want to know what happens when they give the whole grid a 10 spot penalty. Got to happen sooner or later.

sebastien, please try to choose your words more carefully next time....

"I was looking to the right and I was sure he (Hamilton) was retiring, there was no power anymore and yeah, all I can say is that by the time I looked back I was already in Mark's rear end so..."

I dont think mark likes you being in his rear end, lol :):ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r:

oh and check out these typical webboisms...

Q: And is that something you will bring up say, in the drivers' meeting?

Webber: Yeah. We'll talk about it, waste a bit of oxygen and move on.

...when asked about LH handling the SC,...

Webber: I think he did a shit job behind the safety car. He did a shit job and that's it.

Webber: As Fernando just touched on, it's the game we are in. It's not lawn bowls, it's F1.

hes such a champ, even if his best result is only 3rd. :D:P:)

haha, yes I know twice. that's why I said "driven after doing 4 back-flips over the fence" meaning he flipped but then went back into the car and drove it and flipped it again!

and that lawn bowls comment is pure gold. F1 will be much worse off without an aussie on the grid :D

he'll be around for a while yet, im sure. DC will retire after next season and MW wil take over the helm...that is unless he somehow manages to get in a potential race winning machine..

Im sure he will get a win.....someday?

What do you mean get over it... I'm still not over Michael Schumacher...

*hugs Ferrari teddy bear*

Well this may help.

Ferrari make more money from merchandise than they make from cars.

So they have more in common with, say, Mattel than with Mercedes.

Does that help?

    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
    • I know right. It baffled me. There's no way when the engine is off, key is in ignition, (coils are dissconnected aswell), also my sound system was dissconnected (I don't run any audio capacitors), battery reads 12.2v and with the 10amp fuse blown I was measuring 24 to 30v. The reading would move a bit from 30v to 24v which was weird. I took a pic of the multi meter reading 🤣: (This is a brand new single channel digital oscilloscope that also has a multi meter mode).   Before when the fuse was blown, I had one lead on the 12v supply (green/white wires) of that brown relay and the other lead on the negative battery terminal. When I turned the key on ignition (engine off), it would read 30v. Then when I removed that relay from it's plug and tried putting ignition on again, it would read 12v, but I think it's because it can't turn on the ecu now that I removed it. I asked Chatgpt and this is what it had to say:   Not sure if those theories would be possible but, any auto sparkies here? welcome to confirm. 🤷‍♂️  No idea, but if it happens again, atleast I know what type of issue it is, unlike last few months where I didn't know what was causing all my issues and I was just taking stabs in the dark to figure out what type of problem it was. If it does happen again I'm going to investigate futher and trace back the source even more and inspect more circuits. I drove it to work this morning and the car drove and boosted fine. Yeah I was thinking the same, so I've imported my back up saved map (which is the map that I saved when it got done tuning) back onto my haltech with the base fuel pressure set to 43.5psi.
    • Yeh nice, if your in melbourne could you recommend any exhaust shops in the east that do a good job?
    • Sorry yes, this is what im after Also, that jpjdm site appears to be offline
