Well done hammo, most exciting race of the season.

second that, it was a great race.

happy to see the torro rosso cars up playing with the big boys

thought kimi had it in the bag until the 2nd stop.

So, thinking back to Webber. I wonder where he coud have placed if Heikki had a clue. Luckiest guy in F1, did very little in the Renault, picks up one of the best 4 seats in F1, hasnt even had a good weekend that has seen him show real pace...and lucked into the record books as a GP winner.

Funny enough, I like the guy and he seems a pleasant fella. But fancy a bloke still learning the ropes of F1 getting that seat :)

But interestingly enough, my earlier comment about how Lewis gained an advantage and passing opportunity by shooting accross the chicane...well i just heard its beign investigated. Probably cop a fine but will laugh my ass off if the whole FIA hate MacLaren rears its head. It was a line ball thing in my eyes, but not as bad as that move earlier this year on i think it was Rosberg

Lewis Hamilton's victory in doubt:

I reckon Lewwy will get the win back. Some of the stuff he has done since coming in has been stupid and for that I generally think the guy is a twat but this time he fixed his mistake as far as I'm concerned. And I think that will end up being what is ruled after the appeal.

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

It's a tough one, cause the stewards will argue that had he taken the bus stop without cutting, he wouldn't have been as close to Kimi as he was.

From what I've read, I think the issue is that even though he gave back the spot, he was still closer to Kimi than if he had gone through the corner behind him.

You can then argue than if kimi had not pushed him so wide that hammo was forced to either drive off track or slam into the side of him, he took the sensible option, dutifully let the man who cut him off past again and kept the race going

The Mclaren was a faster car by a good portion of a second, the fact that he caught kimi again by the hairpin is moot. He would have caught him again anyway.

Completely agree mate.

I think in the whole "spirit" of the race, where they were both attacking, racing down the run off areas, and given the conditions, the fact that it's even being looked at is a pretty pi$$ poor effort. The fact that Ferrari didn't even bother with a complaint proves this.

It was a good stoush, Kimi crashed out, and Massa was to far behind to be hard done by through anything either Kimi or Lewis did. What are they trying to prove with all this, other than a few stewards trying to get their names in the papers??

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

    • I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
