Crashed was an understatement, why would you push that hard on the last lap when he had no hope of catching button. "oh i was going to catch button and use my KERS to get past him on the finish line, just like in the movies"

Also why wasn't he classified as DNF?

Edited by PHaT MR30

I think it's because he was in 3rd place at the time of the accident and he would be the last driver on the lead lap at the end of the race. But still I don't know why he was pushing so hard on the last lap.

Poor Webber, first retirement of the season but it does takes take a big hit on the championship. I'm still watching what's going to happen at Brawn over the last 4 races...will team orders come into play or will Ross Brawn let them slug it out for the championship

On a side note...I can't take Kimi seriously with that shaggy long hair of his...just doesn't suit him.

team orders for Brawn would be to slug it out...after the Renault thing I don't think it would be wise for any team to ask a driver to move aside if the other driver was a legitimate candidate for the WDC.

At the end of the day I don't think Brawn would care who won as long as it was one of their drivers and if they fight it out to the death they're looking at a 1-2 finish in the WDC too.

Honda must be spewing :P

If Honda was still there...then the team wouldn't be where it was - the Honda engine apparently wasn't all that powerful. I remember Ross Brawn saying that the chassis was really good but the he needed a better engine package

I predict the current season will be the high point in Webbers career, with him finishing 2nd or 3rd in the WDC

actually, scrap that; He's on for 3rd or 4th, assuming he doesn't get taken out by n00bs in the opening corners of the remaining races or any reciprocating engine components deciding they want to see what fresh air feels like

Fark hamilton what is going on man! Got a bet on with a mte he will beat kimi on pts this year, i dont want to be paying up either

Im off to the next race in singaopre, hopefully a better result there. Fingers crossed either hamo or webber can win fuhck teh brauns!

    • Man that dinner was such a long time ago....2010! I would only replace the rubber coolant lines with silicone these days; cheap, readily available and will last for ever. You will need new hose clamps though eg https://justjap.com/products/cooling-pro-silicone-engine-heater-hose-set-black-nissan-r32-gtr-rb26dett
    • I wouldn't look too hard at what they did with the R32 GTR in endurance racing in Australia... Lots of things weren't actually available from the factory in the way those cars ran them... Japan also followed what Fred Gibson was doing here with some of there endurance cars in Japan... Australia is also the reason for things like the Brembo brakes, and the change in the gearbox... And quite a few other tricks they used to pull. There's a few other SAU peeps still on these forums that will have heard the stories direct from Alan Heaphy, Fred Gibson, and Jim Richards when we were lucky enough to have a great dinner with them
    • For all the talk of "these parts are junk" I generally recommend OEM because it's really not as bad as claimed. I have never seen or heard of a case like the N63 where the oil returns completely clog with coked oil for example in ~10 years or less. Would it be nice if it were a straighter path? I guess, but most modern cars use a scavenge pump instead of a pure gravity return. Also the factory lines that would be relatively simple to convert to braided are generally speaking hardlines from the factory. I would consider braided line to be a regression, not an improvement. It's also been engineered such that all the hardlines have appropriate strain relief where needed. There's absolutely room for improvement, for example the HKS advantage heritage intake piping shows just how much can be done to make the turbos fight each other less in OEM twin turbo configuration and reduce compressor surge but it's rarely a simple/straightforward process. I recommend looking at what the group A/N1 cars did, generally speaking the changes they made were necessary and proven in endurance racing.
    • Yes, multi relays needed, and possibly a diode. I'm not actually going to think about it though.
