Its an absolute f**king disgrace.

Massa released from the pitlane in a dangerous manner and not even a second worth of a penalty and Hamilton given 25 seconds for what was a marginal at best indiscretion.

Just one season mate... Cant we have just ONE season without this crap?

That’s two races in a row now with the most horrible stewards calls we’ve seen in a long time

Mclaren lost last season because of this, now it seems like just winning races on merit and generally being better on the day isn’t good enough anymore.

If Massa wins this years title by 4 points or less, ill be done with this sport

Just remember that last year was decided by 1 single solitary point.

This has all gone beyond a joke.

wah wah wah...

"cut him off" lol! Its called "taking your line". Its proper forecful racing - particularly when you're safe in the knowledge the guy behind you needs points and can't afford to crash out with his championship contender right behind him in the points. Lewis barely got a wheel in there - it wasn't his corner. and running people wide on exit is par for the course - you're inside its your line to take.

catching and passing are two very different things mate

Barely got a wheel in there you say?

I think touching the sidepod would count as being well inside. Raikkonen shut the door with Lewis' foot jammed in it. Dirty yes but the fact remains lewis would have had him on the final lap - it was obvious to see which of the two rivers was mastering the conditions. Massa is the luckiest bastard in the pitlane and did not deserve the win in any way shape or form. To rob LH is a travesty and id love to know where they pulled 25 seconds out as a penalty?

Did they just think, " yeah, 25 seconds should do the trick. 10 seconds wont be enough...he'll still be infront of Massa."

The muppets in the stewards box should be shot.

I have no doubt in my mind that was fair racing and will echo its a pathetic thing to even be investigating.

F1 has officially gone to the dogs.

Big difference between taking you line and unnecessarily running somebody off the road. Kimi already had the corner, left no racing room for lewis to continue in so he took avoidable action and chose not to bump a ferrari because we all know the penalty for daring to do that. Here he is doing the right thing and still getting stung.

And I’d say that kimi needed the win more than lewis, he was going to extend his margin over Massa anyway, he did what we all wanted and made it interesting.

with lewis’ proven overtaking skills and obvious wet weather advantage, you can argue there are wildly various degrees in difficulty between the two, especially in this occasion. Kimi was a sitting duck.

Agreed, the attempted pass showed poor judgment, live with it Hamilton :D

Poor judgment?

Youre joking right? So you think the stewards f**k up in stripping LH of the win was...good judgment? Whatever you are smoking, i want some.

You must also think, the FIA showed good judgment in giving Massa a small, pathetic fine when he was released dangerously from the pitbox?

I suppose you think it was good judgment that Raikonnen didnt slow down when he saw the yellow flags of Rosbergs spin and instead sped up nearly taking out all 3 of them in one hit?

Whatever your standards of judgement are, you should never be let loose in a stewards box because i wager you would make the same kind of decision that has essentially f**ked the sport right up, good and proper.

On Lap 42 the cars began to get very twitchy as the lap times started to fall. Hamilton, now, was considerably quicker than Raikkonen's Ferrari and swept past him on the outside going into the Bus Stop chicane. Though the Mclaren was actually in front Raikkonen left no room for Hamilton to turn in without crashing into him and forced Lewis into the run-off tarmac, skipping the chicane.

If you dont believe this, rewind the tape and watch it again.

LOL, has made my day :D I feel he would not have gotten the run on him if he did not cut the chicane. For gods sake how stupid is trying to go around the outside into a tight chicane like that. Lewis sees chicanes as fari game for cutting, he has to because the way he throws the car at the car he is overtaking. As Harry said, Kimi was well entitled to use the line he did, it was wet, in the midst of a brakign duel, what the hell did Lewis think Kimi was going to do. Put a big wall there and Lewis woudl not have tried the move, and he woudl not havebeen on the tail for an overtake.

I think the penalty is a little tough, but i can see he shoud be fined, and the rule changed to when the situation is re-addressed then they cannot attack for a corner or three. Otherwise you seize some ground on teh car in front in the chicane, rattle their tree then after they have pulled in front of you spring a surprise down the inside.

LOL...Hamo will get it back....and lastly, Dennis. In your works, Charlie is anot a steward :/

You mean whats left of the now murdered old bus stop chicane don’t you

Poor thing...

What was LH thinking, naughty boy trying to go around the outside of the champ and *GASP* at a chicane of all places.

The nerve.

LH avoided an avoidable accident. He was infront going into the chicane or didnt anyone else but Hammo haters not see that?

Again, i think the ruling is a bit rude. But Lewis doesnt do himself any favours but throwing himself at cars in front and taking to run off areas to avoid clashes when tryign to go aroudnthe outside. HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER AFTER THE RULIGN EARLIER THIS YEAR. HE WAS FINED FOR THE EXACT SAME THING.....RIGHT OR WRONG HE WAS WARNED AND FINED PREVIOSULY, SO WHAT DID HE THINK HAD CHANGED IN THE LAST 5 MONTHS!.

I love the use of caps lock :D

Hang on.

Lewis did NOT give the position back that time, and was slugged.

This was completely different, Roy.

He lifted, clear and simple, gave the position back - Mac telemitery showed a significant speed difference, he took avoiding action to keep out of an accident when KR moved across, lifted for the yellow when Rosberg spun, was passed under yellows by Raikkonen and KR wasnt even looked at...

What more do you want, ffs!

muhahahaha. it's made my day too, troy. and the best bit is it gave webbo a point! yay. go webber.

I can't believe cuntalinen farked webbers day like that. heiki has the car speed to come back through the field easily, webber does not. so it realyl farked him. webber was on target for 4th, 5th or 6th easily and heiki screwed him badly.

spewing that kimi dropped it at the end. lousie dropped it too, twice in fact but was fortunate enough not to get into a wall in either of those incidents. and this win just saw his large head grow larger.

how about nick the gypsie sneaking his way into 3rd. I'm surprised more of them didn't stop for wets or inters, but I know it was a tough call with 2 laps to go. but you consider 30secs for pit stop, vs 30secs a lap faster for 2 laps is a no brainer to me. it was a wuvewy stwategy nickowaus.

haha, I still can't believe lousie got his win taken off him. there truly is a god! hehe.

It may be the first time a race win has been stripped, but definitely not the first time someone has been passed from cutting a chicane and then let them back passed only to pass them straight away on the next straight. Suzuka 05, Alonso did the same thing to someone, cut the chicane, got in front, then had to give the position back, but then just passed him straight away on the straight again. Then few laps later, was ordered by the stewards to let the other guy past again.

25s is a bit harsh, but I don't think it was a fair pass.

haha, I still can't believe lousie got his win taken off him. there truly is a god! hehe.

If you honestly think it was good sportsmanship or good judgment that LH has had this happen to him, youve got to have rocks in ur noggin.

Think about the bigger picture here.

Its a f**king travesty.

When was the last time you saw Mclaren being given back something that was rightfully or wrongfully taken away from them?

In my eyes as well as millions of others, LH was the winner of the Belgian 2008 GP.

I dun give a shit what the history books say.

    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
