what a controversial race......webber was flying.....literally.....Ferrari got f**ked up by the safety cars....who let Hamilton in 2nd place through and held up the ferrari's 3rd and 4th.....hamilton got a drive through because of overtaking a safety car but the position loss for the ferrari's meant that the drive through wasnt justified as he didnt loose position......the ferrari's were looking strong for the race....and now we know for a fact that webber cant overtake

They say that Red Bull gives you wings but that was just ridiculous

I seem to recall several instances of Webber overtaking before. Kovalainen braked 80 metres earlier than he was supposed to. Naturally Webber wasn't expecting him to stop in front of him so early before the corner. I'm sure you're aware of how quickly F1 cars can stop, if the guy in front of you brakes when you don't expect him to you have no time to react. I'm not saying Webber didn't play a role in the crash, I would say drafting him that way was probably unnecessary given that he would have got past Kovalainen soon enough anyway, but he was racing. I'm not surprised he didn't expect Kovalainen to stop so far from the corner.

+1 for Kobayashi......what a solid drive.....driver of the race i reackon......he did something 53 laps on the tires that he started on.....and he was matching Hamilton's 1:39:xxx after lap 38 or so......thrashed tires and he was still getting the performance out of them

and 5 second penalties to the field that ignored the yellow flag!!! WTF

that 5 second penalty really did f**k all to the end result....it should have been out of the points for breaching the yellow flag rules and 5 spot grid penalty at the next GP

i know typical FIA...

"We are going to to punish them all for breaking the rules"

public "finally"

FIA "now boy's count to five........... done!!!"

well what an interesting end to the season.....last race and still 4 drivers in contention of the drivers title.....

well done to Mark Webber for an awesome drive this season. Well at least not blowing up engines like he used to with Williams :rolleyes: awesome drive throughout the season by Vettel....that man is destined for more championships in the future....Ferrari came out of pretty much no where to have Alonso fight for the title and only 3 places separated him from the title :P once again awesome season in F1 with a whole heap of thrills and spills....cant wait for next season with a whole heap of rule changes and different tire suppliers :blink:

Vettel thoroughly deserved the title too imo. Pity Ferrari fked Fernando's chances with the pit stop though... Got a feeling Luca won't be impressed at all!!

if Luca finds out whose fault it is they might not stay in the job for long lol.....ahh well you dont win or lose a championship in one race.....its what has happened throughout the year

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
