Yep

Sounds like nothing more than the stewards defending their bad call.

What he's basically saying is that any driver coming from behind can drive up the inside, with no chance of making the corner, and the lead car who is on the racing line either has to stop and let him through, or drive right off the track so that he doesn't get t boned.

Yeah just ignore the fact that Herbert had vastly more information to hand than DC.

Not that it mattered anyway. Massa has another bollard off the track he was forced to go and smash his suspension on. Guessing that was Hamiltons fault to.

Massa is, in a way, lucky that Hamilton keeps running into him. Serves to divert attention from his profoundly ordinary performance all year.

Quote from another forum;

No team that views itself in contention is going to wait until the end of the season to seat their drivers unless they are moving to a guy with tons of experience - like Alonso.

Renault made some very screwy decisions this year. Letting Heidfeld go just didn't make any sense.

Here is your fun fact for the day: Even though he was dropped half way through the season (after round 11), Heidfeld is still TENTH in the driver's standings with 34 points - only 2 points below his teammate who has had the benefit of all 17 races.

Heidfeld's replacement has scored a grand total of 2 points in 6 races.

All this conveniently ignores the fact that the Renault was massively more competitive in the first half of the season than the second. Heidfeld wouldnt have been dumped if he was doing the job. He wasnt so Renault moved on.

Weather LH would have made the corner (probably, seeing as he never locked a wheel) is open for debate, and I'm not really looking to perpetuate the argument but it's good food for thought nonetheless; With regards to overtaking manouevers in braking zones, roughly what % of them are conducted with the driver looking to pass being 'on the racing line'?

hmmm...

Weather? Whether?

How far up the inside the overtaking car needs to be is the most boring argument in motorsport.

As for the percentage question it is exactly zero.

yeah, whether

and Hamilton was far enough alongside, that much you can see at least

the crux of the 'Hamo was wrong' view seems to be the assumptions that a) Lewis wasn't making the apex AND/OR b) Massa needed to drive across the apex to make the turn

neither of which points we keyboard-kommentors can prove/disprove

p.s I figured the percentage would be somewhere in that range ;)

Button: Enough with the Lewis questions.

Asked about Hamilton's latest row with Massa, Button replied: "I don't give a f***" "If you want to do an interview with me, about me- that's fine. But I don't want to be asked about Lewis again. It's doing my head in."
:rofl:

the main point is there are places that are passing opportunities and corners that just aren't. That was one of the latter. Its a one line corner and the guy on the outside at racing speed has to take the racing line to make that corner - having a half-arsed look up the inside there is destined to end exactly the way it did.

it would be like someone having half a car up alongside another going into Skyline at Bathurst - you just can't make that work

having a half-arsed look up the inside there is destined to end exactly the way it did.

esp. when the driver defending the line has a seething hatred of the attacking driver for 'stealing' his only title chance

ah Flav- everyone's favorite Jabba the Hutt lookin' race-fixer

He is my man of the century. Does what he wants. Seems he does who he wants...all whilst being a slob of an old man with all the cash in the world. He is my HERO!

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
