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

    • Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.
    • How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.
    • I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.
    • Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi
    • My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
