yeah, if taking out the leader and 3 other cars from the places they deserved makes a race awesome... Perez's tyre almost took out Alonso as well. That would have been even more awesome.

Vettel and Rosberg (and probably many others we haven't heard about) had tyres with visible damage and almost at the point of failure at one of their stops.

it may have made a spectacle out of the race, but it only hurt the actual racing and had far too big an influence on who finished where.

This headline sums it up nicely: Rosberg lucks in to victory as tyre failures wreak havoc with race

As Dan said pre-race everyone thought that tyre durability was not going to be a concern for the race and it was going to be a pretty straight up fight.

How wrong they all were. It woudl have been a perfectly good race if the tyres had not blown up as Vettel on Hamo would have been a good contest and ditto Webber in the back of the top 10 trying to come back through. The DRS zone made life rather easy so didnt need tyre grenades

Too pissed at Pirelli to even bother reading the follow up news

Ruined Hamiltons home race, stopped Sergio from embarrassing his team mate again, robbed JEV for a chance to show his stuff to RBR along with dan, and gave people the opportunity for spectators to sympathize with that little weasel of a joke in the red car

Cant wait for next week, where its just as high speed as this week

Didnt anyone else see the red turtle shells and banana peels? hamilton managed to score a lightning strike on vettel. Webber stuffed up his start but lucked out and drew the flying bomb... Tyre shenanigans aside it made for an exciting race with shit head not coming first for once..

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
